I love everything about this game. It's so well put together and polished. If it wasn't a one week jam game I would point out pixel size inconsistencies and a combat system that could've been more complex and tactical but I'm not going to. In game music or ambient sound would also have been nice I suppose. It's a little bit quiet when playing.
The graphics and level design is great. The writing is witty and engaging. I usually zone out when there are more words than "Find the key" or "Kill the evil wizard" but here I read and enjoyed every word.
I rested 10-15 minutes on the menuscreen just listening to that banging synthwave track!
You interpreted the theme in a good way by having two timelines intertwined like that. I just wish the game was longer :D
The controls are 100% to my liking. +1 for adding numpad support! I do wish there wasn't a short delay between moves when using instant step since it didn't feel very instant. I actually ended up playing with smooth movement, which worked great btw.
The perspective view is spot on. Nailed it!
Daisy would be proud :)
PS: I dig the NEONnoir references.
