The Skeleton was kind of an experiment...it has area detection and chasing, so you have to lead it away from the fire and then jump back to the fire on the pillar before the skeleton moves back in to position. I gave it a growl to let you know it's detection was activated... I was concerned if that would be enough of a clue to the player to know what to do to avoid it.
The Chokes speed you up...the BadMacs were supposed to increase the spray time and running out of KillUp would end the game...I ran low on time and didn't get all the powerups effects balanced or fully working...

I didn't feel like I knew how many lives was fair and I ran out of time to make a game over scene so I just made lives infinite and put a placeholder of ??? for if you went below 5 lives.
You are correct...the game isn't polished as it was a two day game jam exercise for me...the keyboard controls are definitely trash...I use a XBox One controller to develop and it works for me.
The food item on right is a carrot which gives you night vision so you can see clearly underground...I didn't make the bottom black out black so you didn't have to get the carrot upgrade. In Metroidvania games you sometimes can skip upgrades and complete the game so I thought I'd leave it like that. The bottom is too easy...originally it was so hard it took me 5 lives just to get the upgrade so I nerfed it.
