Not gonna lie, this is easily my favourite game on itch.io. Ive played a lot of itch games, but this just blew all of them out of the water! I frickin love this game, and am now following and eagerly awaiting more. This game is likely the embodiment of perfection, love the characters, love the mechanics, and I'm absolutely inspired by the boss. That boss fight was something else, easily on my list of best bosses of all time, better even than the bosses of my favourite game, Hollow Knight. All amazing.

It was pretty funny hearing a lot of sounds from other games, I heard a lot of castlevania and mario galaxy, which stood out a bit. I wasn't able to quit to the title, that button wasn't working for me. I also don't think the credits were working.

Otherwise, I have no issues to report, as said earlier I frickin love your work, keep it up! 11/10, would rate again.

Thanks! That's some high praises. I think it has a long ways to go to being perfect though, especially with how the partner follows you around. I'm glad you enjoyed the boss; I had a lot of fun designing him (though feeling bad for making him so hard initially, this past week I've been toning him down).

I checked my code and forgot to uncomment out a line that of code that lets the credits scroll. I'd been using it for making the trailer footage beforehand. As for the Quit button, that *does* work... but not if you were using the jump button, which cancels it out back a menu. I realize now that's not intuitive and can see where the confusion would come from.

Hoping to get Chapter 2 and additional content done in the future, hopefully I can keep improving it! Thank you for taking the time to play it and I'm very glad you had fun.
