Pit of Despair is a game about falling as far down as you can. On your way down, you must dodge obstacles that often require you to change direction quickly.
The game has simple and easy-to-understand controls, combined with an old-school artsyle.
In all honesty, I don't enjoy the gameplay. I find it a bit repetitive and it gets stale quickly, the drive to go down faster is also missing for me.
The dash as an idea is nice for last minute dodging, but the speed of it often results in the character being uncontrollable for a bit.
What if you change the dash to a dive that let's you (briefly or for as long as you hold it) go down faster.
