hey! Nice little game! At first I was having problems with understanding that the beams actually decreased my HP, but after that I got used to it. Pretty long game for 3 hours of dev time!

Nice use of theme :)
Just a few things to mention:
- The mini-map was way too helpful. It showed what the player could already see and more
- Maybe don't show the laser on the mini-map
- Retrying levels increases the number of Keys Left (by about 8 keys). Even going from Hard to Easy, the number increases
- It's possible to collect a key more than once
- You can only exit if you have exactly 0 keys left - no more, no less

Thanks for the feedback!
- Good to know. The minimap was sort of a last-minute addition with some extra time I had because I thought it might be helpful, but I guess it was a bit more than I expected it to be haha.
- Interesting, I'll have to take a look at that. Not sure why that's doing that.
- Ah, of course the good ol' neglecting a "picked up" flag.
- I wanted to force all the keys picked up, but this should get fixed once I fix the above issue.
You really were speeding toward the exit on that one weren't you haha. Always manage to break my games, best playtester out there!

Thanks for playing! Yeah I agree haha. Had a bit of trouble with this theme so proper balancing was challenging toward the end with the leftover time.
