After download it asked for extra install for graphics which I skipped over and it lagged... Love the music though..Then I tried to install graphics and the download was a little confusing and never started up. So I wish it was just easier to play at a glance. 3/5 which I could play more easily

Hello!

Honestly, I think there is potential to be unleashed after polishing difficulty and player feedback.

Nicely done

First of all, it's pretty damn impressive that you've achieved this in just 2 months since starting to learn the engine. Keep up the good work!

The game already looks nice, and I appreciate the feel of the movement. However, there are a couple of areas where you could make improvements in the future. I found the game to be quite unforgiving at times, which might be related to the lack of player feedback when taking damage. Additionally, I wasn't sure if the enemies stay in their original positions when you respawn, or if I just imagined that.

I'm genuinely excited to see what you'll do with the game post-jam. The potential is definitely there!

It was a very good review. Loved the feedback. Especially the part about the healthbar. I never thought about making it flash, or shake.

Also caught a few bugs while you were playing!
