• Engaging gameplay, interesting revolver-style shooting mechanic with a little twist. Not readily appearent I struggled a minute or two until I found out what the fourth "bullet" did. The first higher obstacle did a good job forcing me to learn how to do it. A little bit of tutorial would be appreciated though. The story was irrelevant the second after the last slide finished. I could not feel any connection between the story setting and the actual game. The enemies were a little lacking in style and function. Good effort I'd say. I can see this evolving into a neat little rpg.
• Quite interesting piece! I really loved the work with ambient sound at the introduction for the game, however, I would recommend toning the dialogue sounds way down. The metroidvania aspect is definitely out and about, with decent movement and all the necessary extras, such as wall sliding and dashes. What really confused me was the attacks that follow a random pattern, which really gives no ability of choice but rather spamming them to get the one that is necessary. The theme is followed, but aside from the atmospheric intro and the character design, it feels slightly lacking when including alchemy as such a random factor when trying to defeat the enemies. The pixel art and animations are super good and I was also really impressed with the usage of lighting for the 2.5D-ish aspect of the game, related to the environment. Would definitely like to check again with some polish!
