Five star in all aspects! A pretty much complete game, it has a amazing map, a interesting story with the right amount of dialogue, very fun movement and mechanics. Very very interesting map. I really want to finish this game, it feels very good. It has boss with fun movement set that you can learn and master.
For some feedback: The minimalia area is fun, but i would add some texture to it, it was so minimal and on the start of the game that it make the game feels not so polished as it really is.
I do not know where i take the ability to shot a blaster of energy, it wa after taking the attack down ability and going right a text said-me to use it, if i had it since beggining would make the first boss easier.
Using the slide -> jump should keep the momentum if not pressing directional. But if you are pressing and release it should stop the movement. This way you can slide jump without constantly pressing right/left. (just my opinion, it is good the way it is now).
I like the character design, but her eyes in the sprite feels a little uncanny. Maybe if you add a pixel art of the characters in the dialogue and add a introduction dialogue it will add more context.
Also liked a lot the story. The blacksmith says it keep working just for the joy of it, very interesting line. I want to know more about this world and why she is looking for some lights. As we cannot see the lights, adding a starting dialogue can introduce what she is looking for.
I also would be very happy if you can rate my game too, i am looking for more ratings before the JAM ends.
