Incredibly fun game! It can be pretty challenging but I felt like I was getting better and better each run. (For the most part lol) I like the way the capriblood was incorporated. On one hand you need them to survive and restore health but on the other, saving them up can help upgrade your character faster. It adds some good decision making to the player’s resources.
I do think the movement and controls could use a bit more tightening up. I like that I can use a dash then dash into another direction. I also like that I can dash once more if I dash through an enemy. This adds a lot of quick-reflex strategy that helps flesh out the movement based combat. Sometimes however, I always felt like I should be able to cancel out of a dash quickly into a jump or another dash. Not saying this is how the game should work but it did give me that desire of wanting those mechanics in some capacity to help smooth out moving around. This combined with some awkward enemy and hazard placements as well as some awkward geometry in some parts can cause needless damage or even deaths, which can make for a frustrating experience.
I also used a PS4 controller, but was kind of surprised I wasn’t able to use the control stick to move around. Was there a reason for this? (Or did I miss something in the settings? Or perhaps it’s still in development and I’m just impatient! lol)
Overall, this was an incredibly fun time! As of the writing of this comment, (and creation of the video below) I only made it to area 2-3, but I’m definitely going to try and beat this on my own! Great work!
