This was awesome, really nice submission team! ^-^

Things I loved:

• The intro narrative, good premise and use of varying fonts to convey tone!
• Art + sprites were really evocative and charming, and worked great with the HP colour shift
• Music was great, the whole audio dynamic with damage ramping up the tense vibes was choice
• Loved the page BG blending into the platform BG! Underscored the goddess garden liminal space well

Things I'd love to see:

• I really like the bait-and-switch ending, I think it could've been underscored / made more obvious. I did notice the text change, but still had to double check the comments to make sure I hadn't just run out of lives! I think maybe having the level behind fade to black would sell it well... or in a perfect world with more jam time, having the goddess sprite show up with some ending narrative! ;D
• Few more sound fx would go hard here I reckon

great way of using the two colors in gameplay also, This is good ideas for any game. Really really like the art style. is that inspired by some culture or history because it reminded me of something and was so sharp. Probably one of the better non-pixel art games here (at the least). The gameplay was just decent, and the jump was too floaty but some prefer that so. I like more snappiness , but didn't break anything and still was time well spent. 

Wow, really loved the theme and story - though the ending T_T. Art was clean and I really loved the visual / audio representation of the players health.

If I could change/add anything - it'd love for there to be a few more sound effects on things such as shooting ext. Also, the enemies that shoot really do so quite quickly - while it did add to the challenge I feel it took away a little from the vibe when I had to slow my roll and really time things - though this is a very subjective opinion. I think slowing them down a little, and perhaps mixing up the pattern on some might be cool! 

With that said, really excellent work all up! 

Nice way of showing the HP, Timing was very important but I was pretty bad at it haha

It turns into a horror game quickly if you don’t dodge the projectiles well…a clever way to show HP under 1bit palette. I’m expecting some sort of twist in the end than the player simply X w X

I died after I fell into the pit near the tree and couldn't restart, so I guess that's where the game ends, if so, then it's a very intersting plot-twist, that you can't really win the game, I also found the art-style to be very pleasant to look at, and the fact that the white background also acts as a health bar is nice. Music and the sound design in general were amazing, overall it was an enjoyable experience.

also I found out that I can kill myself with my own projectiles If i stand close to the wall and shoot at it lmao.

I liked the art for the intro sequence a lot and the health changing the color of the screen was a nice touch, as well as the warning noises. Nice game!

i cant get over to the tree so im assuming thats where teh game ends? i even started up a new game and timed out at teh start just to confirm its just the pit i cant reload in. as far as platformers go you made good use of your three enemy types, the bats cold have been better placed for a more interesting platforming challenge.
and then ya, that ending, or if its not im not too sure what the trick is to get up there, but it really leaves the whole experience flat (or im just bad i guess?)

still a better take on the dream sequence trope then any of my friends came up with >.<

I liked the graphics in this game, because they change colors when the game changes so that’s interesting. The audio was amazing. The gameplay need to be more polished, more coyote times, improve collision and timing would be a good idea. Good job.

Goodjob! it’s a cool game. the using the background to show health shows promise. the art is good (though honestly the switch in style was a bit jarring, I kinda wanted more of the first one) the audio is probably my favorite part since it’s so interactive. the platforming and fighting weren’t the best. they lacked a lot of common practices and honestly felt actively going against me. but those are easily solvable issues once you learn the concepts.I liked the difficulty and the trying to find someone to kill to replenish my health, the music was great to make me panic, the color change too. a lot of design ideas show promise I’m sure y’all will improve significantly with time!

I like how there's no such UI but the background environment changed accordingly to the character's health. Good game. Was a bit hard to avoid the projectiles, but I mastered it after a few more encounters.

very cool aesthetics, and i love how the dynamic color palettes and music are both used to reinforce the tension of the premise, but i think the gamefeel could've been improved a lot (jump feels very floaty, navigating the curved terrain felt kind of jank, and the projectiles are thrown  at a very awkward speed relative to the player's size/speed). still, i think there's some fun to be had; especially once you realize that you're encouraged to balance reducing damage with killing enemies to extend your timer, there's an interesting push-and-pull in the moment to moment gameplay that gives the whole thing a nice texture.
