First off thank you for enjoying the game enough to play for over an hour! that is really something wonderful to read.
I am a huge fan of using a gamepad controller so kudos to trying it out that way. i played it with my mobile iphone and used tilt controls too haha i try to make my game versatile.
i play a lot of darksouls games and i think telegraphing is very important in combat.
yes i am very happy you liked the upgrade sphere grid system. when the moth maiden is fully upgraded she is very quick.
yes this is a bug i experienced too where the glasses mechanic failed and the blurriness was no longer present in other nights. im sorry i didnt have enough time to fix this for the jam.
again very grateful for your heartfelt review. i will take these words of wisdom with me moving forward and aim to craft better combat systems and better UX Ui interfaces for easy back buttons and better keyboard controls. I love halloween so this was a blast to make.
