Loved the chiptunes, sound effects and game feel. The change in gameplay was a nice surprise. Nicely done!

- The way the themes were incorporated into the overall game was done very nicely. I found that the literal take of shadows and alchemy when dealing with potions and enemies while platforming across the map came together well, and made for an interesting playthrough. The art and music, along with other sound effects were done very well, though, I would have liked to have the option to turn down some of the music and/or sfx while playing, rather than turn down my headphones at the very start. You all did quite a good job with this, and would love to play it more down the line. Keep up the good work!
- The playability shines in how the level changes with each death, keeping the experience fresh. The theme is perfectly suited for this game. The cleverness is rooted in the limited visibility, adding an extra layer of challenge. The art style, with its retro 8-bit feel, brings a touch of nostalgia.
