Ah sorry for the late reply. I would love to see the compact story of why there is ‘Glitch’ and the spell, it would be good if you make your own universe, especially with the encouraging NPC haha. Maybe you need to have some kind of ‘villain’? It don’t always need to be a living being, it can be an apocalypse, a threatening causes, or anything. This game had that kind of potential! Or it could just about journey of the Glitch Girl, i would to see who is she, who is that NPC, why she need to get throught everything, why some glith=ch is your enemy, what kind of force the checkpoint is. It feels like Glitch Dungeon can be ‘technical’ in both story and gameplay, it’s like everything inside the game can have its own lore. For the Gameplay itself is already good! Maybe made another kind of spells? and give more challenge to the puzzle, so it can have more spaces to tell more story.
But if the storytelling is kinda overwhelming, i am still okay if the Glitch Dungeon become more depth in it’s puzzle and game design, i am looking for more complex stages, especially the metroidvania-like game is already a big plus for this game! Maybe just add some purpose and objectives so player keep engaging with the game and stay longer. Oh also don’t forget to have some kind of collectibles, having multiple ending is also good!
It’s just some advice and what kind of game i’d love to see from this game, but at the end i would love to see how any enchanment from you! Also don’t forget to take all of your time! I hope everything goes well :D
