I did struggle a bit with the enemies in the game for various reasons. First encounter, it was mostly me not realizing the cherries were enemies… which I should have. But it was also very dark at the door so I didn’t even see my attacks. Maybe if the swipe animation had a bright outline to it’s black center so that it could always be seen.

Then I really struggled with the coin until I figured I could cheese it standing below the lowest platform and getting shots in from safety.

However then I was stuck. The jump isn’t high enough to get to the next platform here: . My feet only get about to the lower part of the next platform on the apex of the jump. So unfortunately i’m stuck.

Cool idea for the theme though!

Great job, pass all the pets to Donut! The game got real, real fast but then the actual gameplay was pretty straight forward. I would've liked when taking and doing damage to be more visible/impactful. Other than no notes, just play a few other famous metroidvanias and take from them only the thing you love the most and add your spin to them. Once again, great job and congrats!

well done - this was fun.

A solid submission! I wanted to stay at the beginning and pet the cat forever ❤︎⁠ My computer did struggle running the game so I could only go so far but I enjoyed the little bit I could play. Really emotional and great concept and submission.

I can tell a lot of emotion went into this game from the setting and the description page. I'd like to experience more of it, but I'm just not able to get past the Bat room - the jump height keeps bugging out and I can't get to a next platform. I've figured out I can use the bat attack bump to "glitch" myself higher, but I never survive long enough with that. I wonder if anyone else experiences that?
