Cool game ! Loved the diversity of mini bosses ! Though, there is something I didn't really understand, what decides if we can respawn or not ?

I liked the Zelda vibe of this game... Despite the bugs of being stuck outside of the rooms, that I know if consequence of the time constrains, this game is really great! One thing mechanically that I think could improve the game experience is to implement that the player could hold the shooting button (with a cooldown between each shoot), as we don't have bullets there is no moment when I don't want to shoot and the act of click click to shoot is not good since the enemies have a little lot of heath...
Well I warped outside of the map.
The game is definitely buggy, but cool! Time constraints definitely can make gamdev hard so getting something like this is stellar, seriously. Definitely much better when the music came on. There's always that ghost following you? That made things difficult, but interesting at the same time.
Good job!
Cool little game. Some screen shake when you shoot and hit something would've been good but the rest is pretty fun. There is nothing to say more about this, so maybe you can rate my entry too?
A nice Binding of Isaac style top down shooter. I liked the character designs a lot and enjoyed weaving in the bullet-hell style gameplay. Definitely had an easier time playing with a mouse rather than the touchpad :P
The song that plays in the background is a banger -- too bad it doesn't play until the first restart, I really liked it :)
The other comments mention music but I didn't hear any! I like all the pixel art and animation though
Best music in the whole jam! Also, love the unlimited dashes. I think some particle effects would really boost the visuals.
Yeah like calliope said, this a fun game with a ton of variety. The fact that you spawn in basically the middle of the room after going through a door is pretty annoying though. The music is awesome.
I love the sprites and the music! its a bit buggy especially with room changes but overall its pretty good :)
