A very intriguing game! The story and cutscenes had me hooked, and the early area with the town looked very nice. The music was quite beautiful and haunting, especially the songs playing in the introduction and the town. The design and animation of the protagonist was adorable and definitely my favorite part of the game, especially after unlocking the wings! The artwork for the enemies and terrain was nice, but the bright gray edges looked very out of place.
Moving around felt nice and responsive, especially after unlocking the wings. The area of effect of the absorb ability was hilariously huge and made dealing with enemies fairly easy, considering it could hit most of them from outside their aggressive radius (the only ones I took damage from for the most part were the rolling rock enemies). The "Kirby" mechanic definitely has some potential for environmental puzzles and decision-making based on what abilities are available in an area. But as it stands, I only ever used the wings once I'd unlocked them, and the only other ability I was able to find (the projectile) felt a bit unnecessary compared to just using absorb.
Aside from the town area, the rest of the map felt a bit empty and redundant, and I feel like some of the time spent placing those empty rooms could've been spent polishing other aspects of the game. Still, I had fun exploring around and uncovering the map. Good job!
