Character sprites were nice, and it was fun to make enemies explode with your headbutts! Controls felt a bit weird and the jump seemed awkward

Atmosphere was nice!

Pretty cool little game! The environments are definitely very rough, but the character sprites are pretty cute, and PNG-sliding around and headbutting enemies to death was hilarious. The platforming was pretty confusing at times with how sluggish the player moved. The main music track was very repetitive, but I liked the emotional music that played during story moments. I quite enjoyed the story in a bittersweet way, and the transformation and power boost near the end was a cool hype moment. Good job!

Cute game, we like the character and enemy designs. The interpretation of the rust theme is cool! The controls felt off somehow. It felt like when I pressed a key it took a moment to register.

the lag is probably because i never got around to implementing input buffering XD i really should learn how to implement that someday

I liked the narrative premise, the visuals are beautiful but could be greatly improved if the character had animation frames. Simple and easy-to-understand game design to progress, great game! :)

The art may be simple, but the game itself is pretty charming in its own way. I enjoyed using that rasengan/vacuum sphere thing to restores those statues. Making those flying metal balls explode was pretty cool too.
