I see a fellow silk song player lol! The art and music were so crisp and addicting. The top down style was so great I wish more games did this. I do wish killing the bugs upgraded you? If it was it was way too slow. The mask collecting made me think each mask upgraded a specific stat. Felt like an addicting farm cycle! But was severely let down after I killed 30 of each and didnt see any stat upgrade like my time had been wasted. I think showing the number you killed was great motivation and felt like I was always progressing even if it was an illusion lol
The boss fight was also a great finale and finish using skills you learned earlier.
One HUGE critique I have is that the controls are abysmal. I really loved this game but you NEED WASD / E / F controls. Literally just adding it in the input map would have taken controls from 1 to 5 stars for me lol. You can keep arrow keys also but you immediately alienate a LOT of people with making them play with arrow keys and z and x as that means you have to play with two hands. I gave 5 stars to some of the other criteria but please. Your game is too good to be ruined with such a thing! The majority of gamers have a lifetime of muscle memory built on there left hand. And will find you instantly pretentious or over quirky if you deny them the ability to play this way.
But fantastic game overall!
