The Cave shooter you always wanted. Originally planned as a metroidvania that got harder the longer you play it.

Graphics and audio was good though!
Apart from that it looks really good, and atmospheric but might need adjustments in the controls as they feel too slippery.
Great job.
Edit: I forgot to mention this bug I encountered where if I went up to a locked door and pressed up to enter I got locked there and had to kill the game.
It looks visually very nice and there's good audio to it, but I got frustrated with the game play.
The 3d down-resing is a cool look, and I like the character design. The typing sound was really good. Lots of juice and shooting/other actions have a nice amount of feedback and feel impactful. Great accomplishment for the amount of time!
