Really enjoyable to play with really nice graphics and polish

Hey everyone! Thank you for all the comments so far. If it's of interest to anyone, we wrote a blog post talking about the game design and the mechanics. :) https://atemly-games.itch.io/bearied-treasure/devlog/47639/bearied-treasure-post...

Doing a metroidvania in 48 hours is ambitious; more so when you have to tweak the proven formula. You made a great attempt, but to me your choices don't really change the genre very much. I'm still fighting enemies and collecting progression items...

Loved the sprite work. I think I could have played for a lot longer if it was slowed down a little bit. 

This would've been a 5 if only the movement wasn't so clunky. WHat I mean is that you move too fast, the shield doesn't properly throw but just sort of teleport in front of you, you can hold down the jump button and shield throw button. A little more explanation to what you can actually jump on would've also been handy. Plus I got stuck.

cute but its way too fast and the archers are infuriating
