hey Chris here!
Glad I experienced Homecoming and that you were able to submit your hard work. Honestly, this game made me feel something. There were rough around the edges (all of which were already mentioned in other comments), but I was emotionally invested, and as such, I easily overlooked all of them.. except the very last part (if you know what I mean!!!). My fiancee and I sunk hundred hours into Hollow Knight, and I thought the reverse-Metroidvania was an extremely novel idea: instead of gaining power ups, you are to lose them, but in losing them, you are gaining something greater. It's all beautiful. Great, great effort guys!
