A very cool and cleverly unique Metroidvania, although I would say one that is in real need of polish.

The concept of being stuck in a painting is obviously cool, there’s some really good pixel art on display for the character, and I was impressed that the powerups you get are rather unique, even your double jump has a unique gimmick to it. The map functions very well too.

The audio and the music are a bit grating (I was on the download version). The jump, dash, the bouncing sounds, they’re all so shrill and loud, which I read in an earlier comment may be due to your hearing problems. Definitely good to get a second opinion on this earlier in development, haha. Aside from that, I also think the character controller could’ve used some work. It feels a bit stiff, perhaps some buffers and a variable jump would’ve helped a lot.

Still, a neat little Metroidvania with plenty of unique stuff to it, good work!

Thanks, yes I really wish I had got more playthroughs, I posted a couple of progress videos with sound on the discord, and no one commented (but maybe it didn't come across in the recording, or just people don't play the sound on discord videos :)), I had no actual playthroughs before which was a mistake as the game would have been better for it, and if I knew definitely less torturous on people's ears!

Character controller definitely could have been a bit more nuanced, something I will try and focus on more in future releases
