thank u for sharing this w/ me at work ! i do like it (and the art style), but i struggled with the controls (especially climbing up walls) so i gave up LOL. the lack of the name on the title screen surprised me when i opened the game. i wonder what the lore behind the game is ! i hope u hav the time to work on it more and continue to flesh it out :P :3

I like the simplistic style.    I had a lot of fun playing, but the wall climb was a bit tough to get the feel of to progress.  I have to say though, the fish in the water was SUPER cool!  Nice one!  I might have to go back  for another look :)

Real fun, the first boss is REALLY hard, and my lack of skill isn't helping. Great game, good job!

 I have heard the first boss is really hard. I think I fell into the trap of it feeling easier to me because I tested it so much.  I had a feeling that would happen, so last minute I created the healing harts and made it so hears spawn during that boss fight haha!

Thanks for the feedback!

Beautiful and Lovely Designed, even the Black Areas seems to fit to the Game.

I havent found the "Water" PowerUp and always die swimming, but i like the overall Game


Good Work keep it up!

oh no! I’m sorry you are getting stuck there!  Have you killed the first boss? .. if not after you get the wall climbing power up (through the short water path) you go back to the start and Climbthe very tall wall on the left. First boss is up there, you should get the water power up after you kill him 😜 if you have killed the first boss and aren’t getting the power up please let me know lol



Thanks so much for the feedback !!

Ah i see, wasn't going back to the Start but there's another whole section on the top.

The Boss seems quit hard, after 4 tries i gave up since you have to start all over again, you might wanna give some "Waypoints" like when you get a PowerUp the Progress gets saved.


The Climbing feels to slow and sluggish after a couple tries, so it makes no fun to get to the Boss again.

But i like the Climbing mechanic switching from one side to the other side to get higher, cool solution.

and Still like the Visual appearance.
