Amazing game! For some reason it feels oddly nostalgic, maybe because of my past obsession with Greek mythology.

I've encountered some kind of bug when the MC respawns at the checkpoint - sometimes he randomly died, even though Medusa's face wasn't glowing red.

But overall, it was really fun to play! Love the fact that you have to think of different strategies at the different sections of the level and thoroughly choose where to place the statues to serve as your cover later.

Fun concept and the controls were easy to pick up but had trouble with model clipping on some of the levels

I didn‘t get through this game..

I love the whole aspect, but do feel like dying at points is just up to rng later in the game, and the punishment of going back soo far is too painful. That head gives me nightmares.

I personally love greek mythology. The music, the idea-this is awesome

I love me some greek mythology. This is easy to pick up, but you really have to think to get through the levels.

Very fun concept - and I liked a moment in the level design where I had to move backwards between the ramps in order to move forwards again.  The sound telegraphing the freeze was also nice - although some animation during freeze or a sight line showing where I am frozen vs hidden might have helped.  nicely done!

The sound effects are too quiet compared to the music. I like the greek aesthetic.

Cool game! The idea of using your past self as a shield to hide or to act as weights is really creative! Considering where would be the best place to be turned into stone is a fun challenge to manage and think of on the fly! Nice!

Took a time to figure out when to go and when to hide. After that it was  nice challenge with good ideas using the stonefigures of the past player.

I've been recently obsessed with Epic the musical so I thoroughly enjoyed the greek mythology narrative! Great job!
