Hey man, wanted to say i really liked Purified when you updated it and Abyss looks great as well, however i feel like its a downgrade in gameplay with less player agency and freedom with the infinite dashing and no manual aim, i think maybe its because of the time constraints, i think it has potential, it looks very cool but the gameplay falls quite short imo.
I agree, and it was partly because of the time constraints, but it's also by design. I wanted something with a lower skill ceiling than Purified and I wanted something you can pick up and play quickly and easily. So with Abyss I put more effort into graphics and vibes, haha!
I'm still happy with how it turned out, and it's fun to explore different types of gameplay, especially with smaller projects like this!
