  • The game plays well, but there are some subtractions for sound and visual bugs. Also for some reason this game stresses my system like no other game I have tested so far. The Alchemy Theme is completely missing, the shadow theme is decently executed. The game feels unique enough from the gameplay, but definitely a 1 of a kind art style for me so far for a platformer.

Extra Notes
Mr. Pirate, please do not play this like you played Outer Wilds. I can't have you skipping 80% of the game because you're too smart for me.

Also, I have a lot of audio bugs in the WebGL version that I think are caused by WebGL not supporting threading for audio. I wasn't aware that this would be an issue until it was too late to change my audio setup. I haven't been able to find any fixes that would allow browser to support many different sounds playing at the same time, and if you know of any resources on this that would be great to know about.
