- It took me quite a while to figure out the attack went to the mouse - thought it was keyboard-only controls initially
- The platforming could be more polished (coyote time and input buffering)
- There were little things that looked like terminals and messages, but I couldn't figure out how to use them
- It didn't feel great when you try shoot and the orb is in a wall
- Sometimes I can jump up 2 boxes, sometimes not?
- I enjoyed getting a 2nd orb
- I fell into a pit with a down green arrow and couldn't figure out how to escape or continue :'(

Very solid metroidvania entry!
Personally the art wasn't my cup of tea but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game! Very cool and unique idea with ball shooting but I did feel like it felt a bit lacking in polish!
This is a huge accomplishment doing all this just by yourself and you should be proud of it!

Null ElementOverall I liked it, great job, the mechanics are very good. The boss was hard.
And the ball sometimes colides with the wall and don’t shoot, I don’t know if tha’t’s a bug of a feature.
And about the moving platforms, the character doesn’t follow them but it was not a big problem.
AIve made a review of your game on my youtube channel take a look there if you can.

MOV.SAThanks for the review, I saw your video and I'm glad it's the first time you've posted my game on YouTube. I'm also surprised that there's another Brazilian in this game jam.
About the ball colliding, the ball can't go over, otherwise it would be too easy to defeat the enemies on a wall nearby, and about the platforms moving, it was a bug I decided to add so the player could think about what position the blocks should be in before going over.
Good job on this! I really liked the art (especially the cobblestone background, very cool) and it was fun to explore the level! I had a slight issue with jumping over some boxes: if there is a stack of two boxes in front of you, I could jump over it if there was a blue box on top, but not if there was a red box on top. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, or maybe the collider on the red box is a little bit larger? I still enjoyed it! :)

Legend of KeystoneThe game doesn't work :(
It says "The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)"
There is also no downloadable version.
