Nice start to your project! Happy that you got something submitted even in demo form. Deadlines are so useful to keep a project moving forward. Excited to see where you take this!

The music got nice as I realised I needed to restart after I died and I like the different animations of the character and the enemies when they walk or hit/are hitten with the stick, this stick attack is definitely an NES attack.

i agree, keep going with this. It’s a good start. I didn’t really understand the final goal, but going around finding all the chests was already kinda neat.

Keep working on this.  You have something here and I would argue it's worth finishing!

Weird glitch: When I was walking along the top-right corner, suddenly I lost control of the character and it would walk left, clip through walls and eventually end up out of bounds.

The game is very cute, a pity its not finished. Also, the cover looks amazing and the music is good, thoughI think its a bit loud, but it might be my headphones
