- Good theme interpretation and implementation. The main character's movements were good but it felt like the hits weren't doing anything, certainly not much. Excellent art style and sound design. I read that you said you over scoped yourself a bit on this. I hope you had fun. I had fun playing! GG

Extra Notes
I severely overestimated the amount of work that needed to be done to create the game outlined in my GDD. This is also due to the fact that I am working on this game alone and decided to create everything from scratch without using anyone else’s assets. However, I was still able to create a very bare and simple version of the outlined game as a prototype. This was an enjoyable game jam and a very good learning experience for me as a solo game developer.
