Really cool game, great graphics and atmosphere. The controls were fairly good, and the gameplay was smooth.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I do have a few qualms: I'm not a huge fan of extra lives (though that could be considered a personal opinion,) nor of the Sonic the Hedgehog style &quot;touch them and you explode&quot; spikes. The boss also seemed rather difficult, in a frustrating way -- I thought it took WAY too long to kill him. And I admit, I'm a little disappointed in the lack of an ending, or even an ending screen; unless it bugged or something went wrong, when I finally killed the boss at the end, I was just left in an empty room that I couldn't leave. After the difficult fight, I was hoping for something, if only a &quot;congratulations.&quot;"},{"author_name":"TeamKawaiiju","author_uid":"65838","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 3:59am","epoch":1472529240,"text":"Very addicting gameplay and very fun mechanics.

Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) \r<br\/>So we can include also your game in the video ;) \r<br\/>p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I haven't had this issue so I'm not sure why it's happening!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@steph88 Thanks. We'll look in to it!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Dimatt Thanks a bunch. The main goal is to teach the player how to play without telling them. We didn't know how to teach the player about the dash, though, so we fell a little short. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@TeamKawaiiju Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I recommend playing the newest build. The boss is actually fun now!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@jayemjee Thanks! While I'm also not a huge fan of extra lives, I feel that they really did the job well here. You should try one of our older games -- they're completely unforgiving.  We were honestly going for a Megaman feel with the spikes, but I can see Sonic, too. Same difference. Sorry you didn't like them! The boss is fixed now, though. We put him together in the last hour of the jam and didn't get to do near what we wanted. Sorry for the disappointment, but he's fixed in the newest version if you want to give it a shot! :)"},{"author_name":"BoxedMeatRevolution","author_uid":"47669","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 2:56am","epoch":1472611860,"text":"That was really fun, but I wish the lives worked in a different way. After getting to the boss the first time, I died and had to start from the very beginning again to beat the boss (which was pretty frustrating). Overall it was super fun to play though (I really liked the blobby enemies that chased you through some of the platforming parts)."},{"author_name":"starlightzone","author_uid":"111227","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 3:39am","epoch":1472614440,"text":"A lot of fun!

I really liked the movement: everything felt super tight and satisfying, except for maybe walljumping because there seems to be a small delay between touching the wall and &quot;hugging&quot; the wall. The whole metroidvania feel was also executed very well, e.g. figuring out where to go after getting the double jump.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>One of the more frustrating things was how dark the game was: dying because you don't know what's beneath you always feels kind of bad, especially combined with lethal spikes. Also it was kind of weird seeing the bullets flying through the dark; I think it would feel a lot more natural if they faded into the darkness, or if they illuminated a small area around them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also wasn't a fan of the blue blob things chasing you around. I think they can make short sections of a game exciting because you have to move fast and dodge (the part where you had to shoot ~6 charge shots at relics on various platforms was very fun), but when they're constantly chasing you, it just feels annoying.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But my complaints are mostly minor polish issues anyways.

Super polished, finished game! Very good job.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I just found few small things I would fix. First one, I had my mouse visible and the buttons didn't respond to my clicks. If you want to control your game just with keyboard, hide the mouse. Second one, just add some effect after you click on New Game.
