Art is very nice; tho I feel the combat to be a bit clunky. The level design also feels expansive and somewhat without direction, making it hard to figure out where to go next.

Overall though, this is a solid entry. Thanks for participating!

I enjoyed exploring the world in this game, and I think it's the most fun metroidvania-style game that I've played so far in this game jam. Recommend making health/ammo pickups more plentiful or easily farm-able from some locations or enemies. Also would be nice if some kind of dash or run ability to travel around more quickly would be available from the start of the game instead of requiring a powerup.

Pretty cool game! I loved the little flavor text and the changing appearance of the main character as you gained more powers. The movement felt a bit slow compared to the size of the level, and the controls were pretty slidey and unresponsive at times, especially around slopes. I have to say the spikes one-shotting you was pretty frustrating.

I quite enjoyed the music, and some of the artwork was really pretty, especially for the various paintings and decorations around the level. However, the level itself felt a bit thrown together at random and was hard to navigate. A more robust savepoint system would have been nice, as some of the runbacks after death were a bit annoying, especially when the instadeath spikes were involved.

On a more technical side, the web build didn't play so well due to the game not scaling up to the full screen and the gamepad support not working very well (every button seemingly being registered as "attack," though that could be a problem specifically with my third-party Nintendo gamepad).  The desktop build worked much better, though I still ended up using the keyboard in the end due to the left stick input being too sensitive at detecting up/down movement and not being able to use the d-pad.

The goat boss was by far the hardest due to its constant running back and forth (and lacking max health upgrades at that point in the game). All of the others were solved by just standing next to them and attacking. However, I did like the ending of the game a lot, and the background art of the castle was really pretty. Overall, good job!

The game is interesting.

 The concept of helping animals reminds me of Soulframe; Loved the litlle guys floating around you when you free them and the music is gourgeous! But..

 The level design --- the clarity of the level; how it's strucutred; the paths that you take are not; the music suddenlycutting to another track when you enter a area --- all of this problems amount to making the traversal not that great. On top of that, the player movement is sticky and clunky --- when attacking while walking, the character keeps on going, even when i release the walking button. The art is not bad, but taking in the fact of the duration of the jam and the team size, it's not that great; some parts of it are quite nice (like the game banner).

 In the end, it's a unfinished prototype, that still needs a lot of work --- but i can see it becoming a rather interesting game!

The art style itself is quite nice, but the bloom effect ruins it, and the level design is very difficult to read. The controls are a bit clunky, but at least it’s one of the few games where the jump height isn’t fixed, even if a bit more control would be better.
