Great Art, loved the 'block' style. The BASS in that song! Haha my speakers loved that. Loved the death animation haha. Lastly I would open the door(s) a little earlier than hitting it. Good job! :)

- I'm definitely going to need more of that music you all put together, very catchy! I liked the art style and was personally a fan of the clever way you decided to use both parts of the overall theme; though I have yet to get the mechanics down to understand where the bat gets implemented. I'll have to play more so I can attempt to comprehend the vision you all put forward. Good stuff!
- This game is pretty good except for the superficial theming, like the mechanics are pretty standard except for the teleportation, which is clever! Unfortunately the alchemy and shadows are just labels to make the theme fit the mechanics rather than the mechanics fitting the theme, as you could remove those labels from the mechanics and nothing would change! Good game! just not the best game for this jam specifically
