Cute and good! I liked it!!
I really like the style and mood of the game. Effective use of colors, and the sprites all read clean despite being super low-res. Well done!
The sfx were solid. Honestly not having music kinda added to the atmosphere, but a little bit here and there would've probably helped. A lot of times music can help indicate if you're approaching an area of interest, for example.
The art is very charming, and the sound design is good too, some parts of the map strained my eyes a bit but I enjoy the design. Did spend a lot of time lost as I do in every metroidvania, nice work!
I love the minimalistic sprites. I enjoyed running around the world, but I didn't get a chance to explore the whole thing, but I think this is one I will come back to. Great work!
I find it very charming!
Really beautiful colors and minimalist styling! I'm a huge fan of unlocking shortcuts/checkpoints so had a lot of fun walking around with that objective. Ended up getting stuck at a battle sequence (maybe i needed more than a gun? or maybe skill issue on my part lol). I did find myself wishing I could run or see an overall map at times but still enjoyed playing!
Ye, I wanted to add a map but ran out of time (scope creep and my own hubris strikes again). I am glad you liked it!
love the visual style! i would have liked to be able to move faster, the pacing felt pretty slow without knowing what i was able to or supposed to do.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback
