Love the concept! I was struggling to find the player character on the screen for a bit, but it was very fun after than. This has lots of potential!

I think this has a lot of potential. Splash some music in there to really pull the player into the world and add sfx to make them feel connected to the player. Player should have a dash button since there's attacks but I'm assuming you can unlock moves like dash. Highest game I've rated so far. If you're looking for sound assets I make loads, I could see what I've got lying around to share :P Good luck

Thanks, sound was a consideration but I’ve got the musical talent of a fish lmao. And I don’t like using other people’s work because I’m too annoyingly proud of my own work to use anything but lol

Yea I get you man, Well if you want to write easy 8bit music download fami tracker, its free software to write music, pretty powerful if you can learn how to use it properly.
Also try this out for sound effects, super effective and easy to use https://sfxr.me/

The skeletons did nothing and I seem to be dying to fast to collect souls. Could be a skill issue but no real slow start or enough spirits to summon anything other then a single skeleton to start means I had to restart a few times before I could even get 1 additional soul. 

Developer

Skeletons are the weakest, and unless levelled up will die before they bring an enemy from full health to 0. I assume the issue could’ve been fixed with a visual effect to show that they do actually deal damage. I just couldn’t come up with a way that wouldn’t look to cluttered with the amount of enemies that can eventually spawn. 
Thanks for the feedback, idk if I’ll visit the game again but ideas on how to improve it are nice

Very well done! The art was lovely and the game played smoothly. Did feel a bit hard to fight them lol, but I figured it out. I would love to see more, but in the meantime I shall try to beat my high score

The art was cute! At first I didn't know what to do, but after checking the controls, I understood everything. Overall, great game keep it up!

Developer
