Sadly I found this one unplayable, couldn't get past the first room after a few tries. I like the art and the music.

Nice game but could benefit from some extra guiding ๐Ÿ˜…!

GAMEPLAY 
Nice platformer! Controls were ok. Bit difficult at the start as you just jump around and hope you get to the correct location. Died a lot of time before I could jump on the first platform. Some guidelines and/or tutorial would be nice for the players. Guide them the first moments. Memory logs were a cool addition. Some extra enemies would have been nice. Extra variation is always nice. But it was fun to play (after the first 10 deaths ๐Ÿ˜‰).

GRAPHICS/ART 
Nice pixel art and particle effects. Good color combinations.

AUDIO 
The soundtrack was coherent with the style and gameplay. Nice vibe.

THEME 
Nice you added a little bit more absorption than just 1 type/kind.

Overall a good game experience ๐Ÿ’ช! Keep up this good work.

PS: Nice comprehensive devlog!

First of all amazing, dev log; wasn't expecting to see a Gannt chart when going through this jam, 

The game starts off a bit hazy, with blind leap of faiths, however the level design improves later on and makes it more clear cut, the platforming is quite enjoyable and the fact that memory logs can be found adds another layer to the game making it interesting and acts as a nice break from the gameplay.

More enemies are needed though, the severe lack of enemies makes the weapons and upgrades almost redundant, and there isn't much benefit to having a weapon better than the pistol. 

overall good experience with nice pixel art, cool soundtrack and tight platforming

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that there could definitely be some improvement with added enemies and enemy variety. Glad you enjoyed it :) :)

Great job! Graphics were beautiful! - The player, gun, and bullet effect looked super good! The audio was well fitting! The the theme was okay and the particle effect as the player jumped added extra polish. :) For me, the game was a bit difficult and I did not really know my objective, but I am terrible at gaming; also, it was a bit frustrating dying & restarting all the time. -- Other than that very nice platformer.  Not to mention your devlog is long, detialed, & well done, wow! Overall, Amazing Job & Keep It Up!

I like the style of it. the parallex background , art and SFX. What I miss is a clear path for the player. I fell down like 10 times and then i quit the game. I like the absorption theme as the lost Records. If you made the path a little bit more clear i think it wouldve been a great game! 

Overall you still did a great job, nice entry!
