Thank you so much for the feedback!
the original font used was from a previous project, i made it prior to the jam. ive just replaced it with another one i made that i think fits the game much better. And i do believe it is worth making your own font, it is quite painful and time consuming, but as an indie dev i feel like i cant go without making my own font. even though it might not be central to the game, i can atleast customize it to fit the theme.
ive actually not heard of krita, but it does look promising, aseprite is a dedicated pixel art editor so its not as difficult to use as you might think especially with time (You rarely have to draw 1 pixel at a time). ill be taking a ok at krita thank you for the recources. ive veen slowly improving my pixel art and ill definetely be checking out your suggestions.
the music is a perfect match i agree, ill probably be replacing it post jam with something more fitting, aswell as adding some other way to give a sense of urgency to the player.
Thank you again for the feedback and i hope you enjoyed the game!
