reminded of Celeste & Metroidvania with the jumping, dashing & platforming elements which are good. feels smooth and responsive. no input lag. But the control layout for the keyboard is a pain. seriously. keys all over the place. hard to figure out where some controls/keys are. placement is nonintuitive for me.
I managed to get the yo-yo thing to do something strange once... couldn't replicate it. some kind of grappling hook-type thing?
Are collision and hitboxes having some issues? Get hit sometimes and I can't figure out how or why I'm getting hit.
Art related: - custom deaths when you get impaled on spikes or get dissolved/drown in the acid/water.
Drop some loot/rewards/healing items in the dead-end areas of the map to reward players who explore/wind up lost in these spaces/areas. Then it doesn't feel like we wasted our time finding this dead-end space.
Not a big fan of the music genre and style personally, but I can see how it does fit the visual art and styling of the game.
