Woaahh, this is really cool! Has a lot of personality already! Not very good at Metroidvanias, so didn't quite finish, but with a little more polish it would really feel like a demo for a full game! I love the art and music, too~

I've checked only around 30 submissions but so far this one is imho the best (from all the 2d games at least). Controls are the only thing that I find slightly annoying but I belive that once you master it they are ok. My game also have controls that need few moments to get a proper feeling of them.
Other than that it's a fantastic, complete package with great animations, arstyle, level design and elegant mechanics. It feels very polished and I very much would like to see (and buy it) in a store. Congrats!

Alice in BoardlandAwesome art and presentation, music is really fitting too. Like others have stated, controls were difficult to get a hang of but after getting used to it it was fine. Cool game!

Wings of AgonyAmazing job! Great use of the palette and the animations are really clean. I found the cat pounce to be a bit difficult, but it's still a cool mechanic nonetheless.

Copper-BotImpressive work!!!, loved the pixel are the animations and the sound!
Came across with a bug though, i jumped close to the wall and i "died", somehow the stone throw me inside of the wall and i could not move after that.

soul_collectorI haven't finished the game YET, but it's really good. Graphics, in particular animations are super clean, the music is really nice too. Control is a bit stiff, but still really good and go well with the gameplay. Overall a very nice, well polished game.

Dual Presence [Abandoned]I can't believe you only have 2 months of experience, great game!
Jump doesn't feel super responsive, but everything else is spot on.

Death = MinionsThank you! I probably needed to get other people to play it before I published it. After playing for so long it felt too easy, so I decided to move the only check point to the end of the level near the boss. That's my bad! Shame you didn't make it to the end, that was my favorite part! Thanks again!
