The pixel art was great, and fighting the enemies was nice and tricky~

Controlling the gun with the mouse button was a little funky, but if I'm being honest it didn't take away from my enjoyment of this one.

Good work!

I appreciated the attention to detail in the art design. Game has  clear aesthetic identity. I liked the enemy design too, especially the ghost. Here are some suggestions:

The jump could be improved. The floaty jump make some sections unnecessarily difficult. For example, because skeleton arrows travel a lot faster than the character falls, I found myself routinely "trapped" in the air. I also found myself wishing a little tap on the jump key would correspond with a little jump. 

I think certain design choices hold back the gameplay a little bit. Here are two examples:  The ladders are pretty slow and not very exciting. At times they frustrating, as when you automatically grab one while jumping and suspend yourself midair right in the path of an oncoming arrow. The fire breathers looked really cool but the timing was unnecessarily difficult because of the long fire duration and floaty jump. 

Overall I think this a pretty good effort and could be quite enjoyable with some adjustments.

thanks for the feedback. A lot of your recommendations are easily tunable and could improve the gameplay and experience. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I think so too, which is a good place to be in. Good luck!

Nice game. Works well and has good graphics (love the gargoyles), though the player needs a jumping animation (and a way to drop from the ladders). Found killing the skeletons very satisfying, maybe it's a bit weird that you shoot with mouse when you can't aim to any direction.

I thought I had the mask from the start when it showed up in the inventory but that wasn't the case. Don't know if I also missed some secrets but I only found one key and there were three chests.

The starting door after death was always the same door in the area so the best way to backtrack was to kill yourself lol.

awesome feedback. Thank you! 

I agree with all your comments and appreciate you taking the time to write them. There are 3 keys. All on the same levels as the chests. But requires a little bit of searching, which perhaps isn’t worth the reward.
