I'm always very impressed with how polished these games from ProdigalSon Games are. Very well put together, clever level design, and I love the atmosphere that the art, music, and gameplay culminate to produce. Nice touch limiting to 8 colors per screen in order to be faithful to the 8-bit style. I also am a sucker for games where the player is able to equip armor and weapons, especially when the mechanics make it feel fresh and unique like the mechanics in this game do.

Thank you. Much appreciated. This was a first for us, in the sense of gameplay and art style so it is good to hear others got some enjoyment out of it. We definitely want to revisit this idea again later...once we've had more opportunities to test out more mechanics we put in our other games to get a good feel for what might fit for this one.

Oh it's all so very nice.

I haven't really got anything to add to the plethora of positive comments here..!

I do love the audio-polish. The sound effect when falling just makes me smile.

Well done, excellent job.

Extremely good game! I had a lot of fun playing the game. The progression works extremely well and each item gives you its own really useful ability.

The only small criticism then is that the boss fight does feel way too easy. After slogging through the dungeon for a long time and mastering the abilities, I didn't lose a single heart due to the shield in the final fight. Given the theme of "boss", it could have taken a more central role and   been a bit harder. But that's complaining on a high level.

Otherwise, the game looks top notch, and above all, feels very good to play. I especially like the bouncing off the walls.

Great entry, it was really fun!

This game's amazing. The progression of obtaining items feels perfectly paced and the enemies/puzzles all feel very easy to understand. Super job! I personally want to make a game like this someday :-)

really strong entry! the metroidvania mechanics mixed with roguelike style works so well. Flesh is a really cool villian, feels like everything is a personal struggle of some sorts. Love it

I intended to tell my story through this game (do want to expand on it some more) meaning the struggle between the player and the boss is my own. You got it!:)

Thanks for playing!
