I like the levels and animations in the game!

I like the idea and implementation of the debuffs and gifts! Having to choose a debuff to make your run harder is good, and the gifts helping you after dying is nice. I do think the player movement needs some work, mainly the jumping, I think the player jumps way too high.

Cool idea, died while read debuffs and the player is a little to fast for the camera. Good work

Good controls

It was nice, would be very nice if the game is paused or my health doesn't go down when we select the power ups, otherwise we don't have time to read them

This is a really interesting concept and a fun game to play!

I did get caught in a tricky spot at the end of the first loop. My health was ticking down while I was trying to read all the gift options for the first time. I didn't realize the health was decreasing, so I ended up dying while trying to figure out which gift to choose. It might be helpful to pause the game during those moments so new players have a chance to read and think without the pressure of losing health.

Overall, it's a great concept and an enjoyable game. Great job!

This was way more fun than I came for, keep up the good work

:D great game!

Fun game, interesting use of the theme and a well-designed world.  Would love the option to use WASD to move, and think the buff/debuff system and camera can be slightly improved if you plan to continue work on the game. Very creative project, thanks for the submission!

I found the idea very creative!

The realization might not be it, with the camera you don't see much, the debuff action drift isn't very though (as the control are very basic) so I kept choosing it.

some power-up (3) stasis to your decay have no animation, so it's hard to know if it works.


It would have been nice to be able to stack maximum health with a death option, I only had option for power-up I already had (dash and stop-decay, button 2 and 3.) So the whole idea kinda doesn't work if you don't keep getting stronger.


Please, keep working on your game after the GMTK, it could be a very good game!

Thanks for your feedback!

I agree the game lacks responsiveness, and there are only a few debuff/buff and the same ability appearing again.

I'll try to improve it, thanks for playing!
