Lovely little game. Can easily see this being expanded upon. 
Love the artwork and I'm always a sucker for a twin stick shooter.

Great game! Loved the art style, the parallax effect and the loading animations looked great as well. Nicely done!

Hey I had fun playing your game! Love the narrative and artstyle. I felt the countdown element to be abit disconnected with the game, other than clearing levels before grandma dies. Overall, this was quite a fun game. Thanks for participating!

Developer

Thank you. I agree that the theming ended up a bit disconnected. I tried to make it more connected by having damage bring the timer down faster and the candle theming, but it definitely ended up being more of add a timer because the theme is countdown. Thank you for playing :D

Oooo I love Binding of Isaac and this reminded me of it so much! I wish our little candle had a little more speed, felt difficult to dodge enemies. But I enjoyed this game very much, it was very cute and fun!

Developer

Thank you so much! I definitely agree that the player could be a bit faster, especially considering they move slower when shooting a faster base speed would help dodging and normal movement. Gland you liked it.

Quite enjoyable gameplay! Good work!

Developer

Thank you :D

Some people just go above and beyond with the art. This is one of those. Fantastic drawings - you should have made them be bigger for the actual gameplay too, to show off the beautiful art more.

Really really well made game here. The combat mechanics seem solidly built, and the little map animation when changing rooms is perfection. This was like a pretty version of Binding of Isaac.

Developer

Thank you so much. I glad you liked the art :D. I definitely agree that they ended up small. I had originally planned to have the camera zoom in/out depending if you were in combat or not, but I never got around to adding it. Thank you :D.
