i loved this game, usually i like combat metroidvanias and this is a compelte 180 but it just... feels calm, btw i love the visuals love it so much, it feels like one of those games that you played one night you couldnt sleep that you dont remember the name off but you never truly forgot it, the game is unfinished ofc its a jam i dont blame you for it, and i think it would be good to aleast have some traditional metroidvania elements, not like combat, but like maybe a dash idk.. BUT i love this game, polish it up a bit and you have something special here

I'd love to hear more about what you feel is missing — from my perspective, the game has accomplished everything I set out to do, and more. The visual style could be a bit more coherent, and the sound design isn't quite where I want it to be. Movement is still a little ways off feeling ideal too, I suppose...
I've definitely gone back and forth about the mobility upgrades. On the one hand, they open up a lot of additional level design space, and they can really aid in the feeling of growing more powerful as you play. On the other hand, I had hoped from the outset that I could build something that felt like a Metroidvania even without that common trope. That said, if I take this game any further, I probably will end up adding a handful of mobility upgrades to the level editor for folks to play with.
Thanks for giving this a play!
