Nice aesthetics! I wish controls were a bit smoother -- most of the time I couldn't dash while in the air, and sometimes I was dashing for a much longer distance that I hopped for, missing the platform :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I made it so you can only dash in mid-air if your jumping up. Once you start to fall down, you can't dash

Submitted

damn i like this game, i love the animations

Developer

Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoyed it

Nice one. I had some problems with the player "wall jumping" when pressing space directly in front of a wall.

Nice atmosphere overall, and a real good fit for the theme (Reminds me a little bit of soul reaver).

Developer

Thanks for the high praise! 

My intended way of wall jumping was to keep pressing the jump button to wall climb. Hope this solves your issue. Haven't heard of soul reaver before, how is it?

Submitted

A game from around 25 years ago. You also had to feed on souls to survive.

Submitted

The gameplay has a good feeling but maybe raise the speed of the player.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing my game. Do you mean the overall speed or the player should accelerate over time?

Submitted(+1)

This depends on you to be honest. Both are good solution.

Submitted

The art and the atmosphere are amazing !!!! The platforming works but i feel you should add more tolerance with your grounding. I mean let the player jump even if he is a litle bit of the platform.

I'll keep that in mind. I lost track of time when I was making it, so I missed adding a lot of features.

Thanks for playing my game.

Thats completly normal :D

Amazing graphics. When you jump on a wall you don't have control on the falling, make a little difficult to play.

Good game.

Developer

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed my game

I really like the graphic and it was fun to play

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

The interpretation of the theme was pretty cool and original and the art was amazing, good job :)

Feedback:

The movement was great overall, my only complaint would be that the dash felt a little unresponsive (sometimes you don't know when the dash is going to end and you finish falling off the platform) and its cooldown was a bit too long in my opinion, but nice work afterall!! 

Developer

Thanks for the high praise. I'm just lucky to find nice assets to match my idea. When you dash, you skid to a halt, which is why it doesn't have precision. I interpreted dashing as nitro, so I felt full control for that won't feel authentic. Hopefully it didn't make this game less enjoyable

Submitted

The theme and gameplay was great! I loved the concept as well. Wall jumping felt a little weird but other than that the game was very good!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Do let me know what felt odd. This is my third game (a hatchling game dev) and first time adding controlled wall jump like this. In my first game, it was all automated

Submitted

Dashing is really fun, sort of feels like a rock band power slide.

Now that you mention it. It kinda does. Thanks for playing my game and hopefully you liked it
