It might be an issue with my computer, but the game for me sadly gets stuck on a godot game engine screen on launch T_T (while epic music is playing). 

I thought I'll still leave a comment because the PS1 era graphic style looks great, the music is amazing, and I really liked the design of the boss fights watching it on stream!

The visuals, music and level design are all such a perfect vibe for this era and this type of game. The boss fights in particular were very fun.

Why can't more games have this PS1 aesthetic? And why can't I have these levels of musical talent?? Great all-round package, and I'm really happy the incomplete bits were shared because they were inspiring all the same!

Really awesome style and music. Like others said, the PS1 aesthetic is top notch and I really like your implementation of Seraphina's power too.

This game knows very well what it sets out to do and does it without compromise. A stylish and impactful jog through environments made with purpose and a clear vision. We all know this genre is far from prominent in our present times but you prove it has a place in the modern gaming landscape. I really wanted more levels, and started imagining how Mary would play in a prologue level.

Very well done.

I really like the PS1-like graphical style!~

Such amazing style. The general aesthetic, intro, menu interactivity, map screen. So good. As a huge fan of Virtua Cop and Wild Guns back in the day this was a ton of fun to play too. The insanely good soundtrack just topped it off and fit the vibe perfectly. That unfinished boss music theme is a masterpiece! Was also fun to follow your dev videos again this year.

What a vibe! Fun, flashy and fantastic! 

Great, great, great music and the best final boss I've ever seen ;D

Oozing with style, wonderfully fast paced and imaginative. Loved the varied way echolocation was used, in those dark/foggy environments it really amped up the mood and atmosphere and made those some really tense and fun moments of gameplay.  Music is perfect with the gameplay, loved the story being told, really great stuff.

Thanks everyone for playing! Had lots of fun making the music for this jam. Glad yall enjoyin :)

The game is so snappy and hectic, it's great! I kept being surprised by new ways the echolocation was used especially in the graveyard with the spike traps and flying tombstones with different patterns. Loved how chaotic the boss fights were and how they employed the level gimmicks. I also liked how there's no real resource management but the action is fast-paced enough and the reload time is just long enough to make me care about missing shots or mistiming a moment of a boss being open

This game drips with style. I enjoyed seeing the final level even though it wasn't finished. It was worth it for the music.

Oozing with style. The core mechanic is super fun. Also the intro, level selection menu, and the post level screen are all amazing.
