Man, I LOVE the aesthetic, volumetric fog is always a good idea lol, pretty good environment models, nice cutscene and really good job for being a single developer

Visually speaking, this is really good. It lacks of player visual/audio feedback, controls are feeling a bit slow and the fight mechanism seems to be a bit off to me tho. I wish you'll keep working on this game after the jam to see how good it will be after a few more weeks of work!

The atmosphere in the game is super cool and gives a nice feel, im guessing u are mainly an artist coz the model and env looks super nice :D 

but it mostly lacks visual and sound feedback for attacks and such

Really fluid and good animation, crazy you got it done in time!


I will say I couldn't beat it though, I for the life of me could not figure out how to deal with the orbs it spits out. So I felt like there was just no way to kill the boss before I got killed by the orbs.

Thanks! Yeah that's my bad on the orbs, I didn't intend for them to be able to perpetually chase you for eternity.  You can dodge through them to destroy them without taking damage  (you have invincibility frames while dodging with shift).
