The room with lots of arrows confused me too much. I do see the glitched words but I can't make a proper sentence out of what is on the screen.
Besides all that, some music would be nice.

I beat the game, but it almost perfectly fit the definition of the "Overall polish" 1-star rating. The skulls and fire room was kinda tricky to pass through correctly since the empty floor didn't look different than the empty floor in the other room, the directions for the room with all the arrows were nearly impossible to read (even the non-glitched ones), and I had to start over multiple times. I also didn't see at the beginning (and maybe this was my fault) any info about how to jump; only how to move (ASD).
However, the assets all looked great and the aesthetic was really cool. I loved all the glow effects. The visual part really enhanced the assets with colors, lighting effects, etc. Good job on that! And I was interested enough to keep playing the game, so good job with that too!
I dig the aesthetic, but I had a lot of difficulty. I kept getting reset to the 'go in the hole' screen, even after progressing a few more levels.
The game doesnt scale correctly - I'd recommend putting a camera2d in your scene and set the scaling mode to 'keep horizontal'.
When exporting for windows I'd recommend to check the 'include pack in exe' option to avoid the need for multiple files
I got a black screen when pressing play the first time, some music would be nice. I was confused about my objective for a while. Screen transitions seem a bit abrupt. Starting over whenever I fail seems a bit excessive. Player walk animation seems a little slow.
Interesting concept. Nice graphics. I like how the main character change his skin.
I’m unable to play this game on windows? It just prints the text below over and over again?
I can bring up the main menu, but yeah.
