This was great. Fluid gameplay with a touching story. I liked the little touch on the stage names. I wish I had seen it during the rating period. I thought I’d still have time today but it’s already closed. There seems to be some minor issue with the background. At some point it went black and stayed black. Didn’t affect gameplay. Also unrelated, did you draw the spirtes yourself? I love them. I actually have been working on a game where I have an enemy that looks almost the same as your 9 eye monster thing. I also have a black outline shader very similar to yours :)
