This was awesome, really nice submission team! ^-^
Things I loved:
- The intro narrative, good premise and use of varying fonts to convey tone!
- Art + sprites were really evocative and charming, and worked great with the HP colour shift
- Music was great, the whole audio dynamic with damage ramping up the tense vibes was choice
- Loved the page BG blending into the platform BG! Underscored the goddess garden liminal space well
Things I'd love to see:
- I really like the bait-and-switch ending, I think it could've been underscored / made more obvious. I did notice the text change, but still had to double check the comments to make sure I hadn't just run out of lives! I think maybe having the level behind fade to black would sell it well... or in a perfect world with more jam time, having the goddess sprite show up with some ending narrative! ;D
- Few more sound fx would go hard here I reckon
