Very cool graphics!)
Wish I could've gotten the intended experience, because other than the bugs it was really cool :). Awesome take on the theme!
It was tricky to get the coins in the machine, I had to jump and drop the coin at the right time for it to register as being in there, otherwise it registered as me picking it up again. I think I would have preferred it if when I jumped into the machine with the coin in my hand it registered as being collected. Also it would be helpful if we could slash while jumping, sometimes I was stuck in a hole that was too deep and couldn't get out. (Although I did figure out pretty late that double jumping exists).
All in all, I thought it was super nice! :smile:
Pretty good game!
The combat controls don't feel very responsive, I'm never too sure if I'm hitting an enemy or getting hit. I also feel this game is in serious need of the ability to attack while midair so you can make more pathways, or otherwise get over a ledge that is just too high. Also, what does X do? I've noticed it hurts me, and doing it enough time gets me killed :S. I also noticed a bug where enemies would sometimes disappear, I suspect your enemy's and background layers are conflicting (didn't affect my gameplay too much).
Besides the combat mechanics, the game was pretty solid!
