Nice entry! The concept and mechanics in this game have potential. I would like to see more Metroidvanias that include narrative choice and consequence. The game feels like a rough prototype since it is only one area. I would like to see what this can become in SMVM Jam.

Interesting idea for a game (having it so that each npc has two upgrades they could provide, and so that upgrade combinations can allow the player to enter different areas) It took me a while to realize that you could hold the button to send out multiple projectiles, which made the wall projectiles a lot more useful.
Music is a little loud at the moment, but I'm impressed by anyone who can make their own art and sound assets. The sprites were kinda cute in how they would fly into the air or float to the bottom of the screen, with little speech text.
Clickteam Fusion...wasn't that the engine that the FNAF games used?
Overall, great job on the game, even if it is more of a prototype.

Cresent PrototypeThe +
- Having the choice to forgive or not and having that change the path we can take is a good idea!
- I like the original 'walljumpprojectiles'.
- Being able to play as an angel who might find us interesting could make for a cool story.
The -
- There's no title or image for the game
- Very rigid character and control
- It does feel like a prototype
- I go to items with neutral/good/bad endings but you can't activate them
- I was able to reach the good, the neutral but not the bad end, I didn't manage to reach it
Being able to play an angel who might find us interesting could make for a nice story. With a bit of writing it could be a question of Why we make the decision to forgive or not (a bit like paper please, why we let this person through and not another).
Like, depending on our choices, the angel could become "fallen" if he condemns everyone, and so on.
I'm waiting to see what happens next ;)

Ostrich ascensionThe "walljump projectiles" is a super cool concept. Plus some of the other things - the theme, ability to forgive or kill sinners. I'd like to see a game made out of this. All the best team!

DreamWeaverHey! Nice to see you again. I had a bit of trouble with team members not pulling their own weight, so I just submitted the prototype I made with placeholder art and sounds I made, but it was literally a solo project because I couldn't get assets or feedback from anyone on the team before the jam ended. Fortunately the members of the next team I joined for MiniJam were all super awesome, and helped make that jam turn out way better.
