Thank you for playing and I apprecaite the feedback!
Yea, I really wanted to add more things like puzzles, keys, etc. but ran out of time. I got pretty lazer focused on designing the combat for this one. I really enjoyed designing it and want to work on a full version where I'll implement the stuff you've brought up.
Also, yea for the visuals, it was a stylized choice. I hadn't used that kind of shader before and wanted to give it a go. I also felt like it was a good way to make the Synty models have some spice since they're pretty generic. Hoping to get better at modeling this year!
