- Alright, you've got something here! The game works, the movement is smooth, the attacks hit and the enemies die. This is a good first step towards a dungeon diver like game! The GDD was well structured, and the goals were properly set. Time is a killer of everything, so it's understandable that not everything is there in the end! The artstyle I like, and I enjoyed seeing a mood board in the GDD. I would recommend exploring more the Theme of "You are the Weapon". I guess with more time you can incorporate the possession component more, with other weapons (maybe that of your fallen foes?). Consider a breaking bar instead of health, since technically a weapon gets damaged but has no health... I would say the music didn't thrill me, there is definitely room for improvement there. Incorporate more instruments, vary the melody more, and check your harmonies, it fell flat at times! Also, find a way to make the music persistent, so it doesn't start from scratch with every room, especially considering how fast one can go through them! Very good beginning! Keep at it!
