loved every minute of playing the game 

did not find the sequence break will definitely come back to complete this

the map is too vast for me to remember where i went what is explored and what isnt

I liked the theme and ambience, I missed a little bit more challenge before the ending, a boss fight for example, but it was fun regardless.

I wasn't able to find the sequence break haha, maybe I'll replay later and try to find out

good game :)

Good theme, good controls, vast map.

The graphics are good, colors pop, blacks give contrast. Not sure about the camera distance, since it makes the tile - that are a bit noisy, but not a lot - repetition more prevalent, and the vast spaces feel a bit empty. The upgraded dash moves aura is a bit weird in term of resolution, but absolutely workable. Overall, very nice direction.

Music and sounds are great. Only gripe about sound effects, is that they can get a bit repetitive in the long run, especially the gun and the bat squeaks. Maybe try and randomize the pitch, just a smidge like - p = 0.95 + (randf() * 0.1)

The intro sequence is well animated and narrated. While the writing is nice, it's usually not good to have an exposition dump right at the start. A small tutorial / intro section between the intro cutscene and arriving in the town could help with that, Like Steamworld Dig or Hollow Knight.

The controls are nice and responsive, and with the exception of the wall climb, all of them were good to use. I don't know if the wall stick only activating when your falling is a compromise because of some bug, or other technical issue. Also, pushing only jumping or pressing down to release the wall functions well, I caught myself most times pushing the opposite directional input to try and release the wall, to no avail.

The enemies are competent, but don't really pose much of a challenge, and don't give any rewards (like health pickups), so I tended to ignore them, halfway through. The enemy that pops out of the ground to shoot at you is great, and is a classic type of enemy, but it being able to shoot at an angle is weird, because the graphics don't match with it. On that note, Shooting upwards, the bullet doesn't spawn directly above the player, but offset to the facing direction, which while not a huge problem, makes aiming up finicky.

The enemies could have also benefitted from more animations (hit, dead, etc.) but at least a hit flash on damage, to have some visual feedback.

The map felt huge, but mostly empty, and there weren't many challenges traversing it, only ability gates. Don't be afraid to put combat or platforming challenges in there, especially if there is a savepoint nearby. Other than that, it was well made, and very nicely interconnected.

Despite all the nitpicks, I did enjoy the game, and is one of the best entries I played and would like to know if you would keep working on it in the future.

Good work!

Good game, the sound design is give a good western atmosphere at the launch. For npcs, bats are annoying to reach so closer of us. And for that monster, he is not a danger. https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE0NDIzMDY4LnBuZw==/original/45fUBh.png

I think the NPC/story aspect was my favorite part. I can tell time and effort was spent on the dialogue and felt the story was funny and creative.  Other than that I don't have much to add. The bats could use a little less health, though, considering how well they can move and follow, compared to how rapidly and accurately the MC can fire. Great entry and keep up the awesome work!

I love this game, great polish and great theming and fun writing!  Stuff like keeping count of play time is totally optional but shows great care.

The wall jump was really cool, but it felt really unintuitive that it was a stick to the wall, and then jump in the direction of your input.  It took me a while to get used to it down.  Once it dawned on me that the wall sticking was a goat joke I was good with it, but it might need a little bit more adjustments getting it to feel good to new players.

Thanks for some great fun and laughs!

Here ya go!

Ok I really enjoyed this and speed run was a challenge for sure. I died 3 times trying to get a hang of the style and 2D no gravity sideways kind of view. Um 3rd time I got 2/20 badges finally got a power up to start breaking stuff and died again about 5 mins...  So it was a little difficult. Having not a way to skip all the dialogue for 4th time detoured me from trying again at the moment. The western was cool. I liked the music, narrative, dynamics, etc. I gave it a 4.25 in general because it was kind of challenge. Loved there was gamepad. So it up in my top 10 and I have rated about 40 games so far. So good job! Check out Chick-Magnet if you got the time. Still in development for the full idea....the WEBGL wasn't in the jam but is a little bit more up to date, but the PC download is smoother.

Enjoy!

The gameplay are nice, i like how you can tell what power up you going get by how the rooms looks. The art and sound design are nice too.

Took a while to collect every badges since the map is big, and map really help for that. Tho the enemies are a bit too repetitive with how often they spawn, and since they spawn and sort of random place sometime you can get hit the moment you enter the room.

The last run is pretty cool with the bgm, I just wished it is an actual threat that can kill the player, especially when the last save is really nearby.

But overall, really nice game!

I really liked the intro, the music, the fact there was a town and NPCs (though they were a bit chatty at times). The whole western fantasy was a nice touch.

The shooting is nice, both the animation and sound effects, plus the fact you can aim in multiple directions. I did find the jump a bit abrupt and weightless though, and I struggled quite a bit on the platforming (but like other browser Godot games, it doesn't seem to recognize my Xbox gamepad, which I'm sure didn't help).

I also had trouble with the bats: they take quite a few hits until you improve your gun and they rush you without ever stopping or getting back their distance, so if you're hit once, you're guaranteed to get hit more until you can outrun it and shoot it. It's frustrating and I died quite a few times at the beginning of the game because of that. Despite that, I enjoyed the enemy variety. I would have liked more feedback when you shoot them though.

Overall, the metroidvania aspect was well done. By the end I was really anticipating the roll upgrade that had been taunting me the whole game. It felt a bit linear at times, but it does open a bit once you have all the upgrades and you're looking for the collectibles.

I appreciate that the escape sequence is pure spectacle and not actually timed. The screen shake and the sound effects really did sell the urgency of it it despite how much I struggled to get out of the final shaft.

Finished in 22m with 14 collectibles. It was pretty good!

Pretty cool game, like other commenters said I like that it has a plot and the level design is pretty tight, felt like playing a classic mini-metroidvania at times. I think I found a potential (intentional) sequence break, but I couldnt make it myself (skill issue), might try again in the future.

Gida was my favourite npc lol, Game is a nice platformer. It's always good to see a build up to a game with a story which your game has, lots of indie game lacks that part of the game. about the gameplay, those bats were a pain in you know where, shooting felt good, I like how those miner moles had revolvers. those spikes you placed seem to become hard to locate as they blend with the map. those Frankenstein spider heads? what's the lore behind them? wish there were more npcs inside the map. also, I got stuck here it seems like a bug.

Did you also use the MetSys for the map?

I wouldn't bind speaking to NPCs on the same button as jump. I am someone who spams jump, and it made it very awkward to jump through the town :D

The size of the map was great, but I really struggled with those bats. They are rough. 

I also agree with what arachnid56 said below
