Love the moth on cover! For me it was a bit boring since lack of visual and sound effects, but I guess that it is just lack of time. Game feels nice, especially controls and ligths.

Ugh, I love moths. Amazing work, the retro visuals are SO impressive and polished, I had a really fun time playing (and dying a ton lol). Looks stellar.

Cool entry with even resource management, I like the boss fight, it suprised me!

Gives me Hollow Knight vibes. Feedback:

- Art could have more work.

- Could def be more polished.

- Spikes shouldn't instantly kill you.

- I also couldn't attack? Though I didn't get very far in the game.

Either way, game looks promising 👍

I like how it feels. At the end the boss is cool and tricky, but I made it. And yes an indicator where he hits would be good. But you can still win, so it's ok.

The game isnt opening for me for some reason. The first time it opened but i was stuck on the starting screen and couldnt press start or quit. And the next two times it stuck me on a blank gray screen with no words or buttons?

Oh really, I could only recommend refreshing or opening on an incognito tab with no cookies

that's unfortunate would have loved for you to be able to play :(

The lighting and atmosphere sells the scary vibe! Great job!

Thanks I spent a lot of time on it!

Cool atmosphere and I always appreciate a boss fight. I woud like it a whole lot more if you used your own art even if it didn't look as good.

Really great. When the boss does his spiral attack you could add some indication on where it's going to hit.

I agree! but I ran out of time
