Goes to show there's a lot to do with two buttons. I mostly enjoyed playing to the end, and this is one of the more memorable entries altogether.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>To help you work on this more, maybe, here's my two main gripes regarding the gameplay:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1) The reaction times required are occasionally a bit overwhelming. It sorta feels like playing a debug fast-forward mode that you got used to during development, and which you never slowed back down for the poor players who are just taking their first look. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>2) The skills aren't really explored to their fullest extent. I guess this is one of those things that feel &quot;off&quot; to me about many modern Metroidvanias. You only get skills to reach the next area - as a new key to a lock - not as a new degree of freedom that allows your character to explore more. This can sort of be excused considering it's made in a weekend, but I'd like to see you play around with non-linearity more after the compo.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, the audio does get on your nerves after a bit. Actually it seems out-of-place right from the start, mood-wise. It's just there doing its thing but not really complementing the gameplay."},{"author_name":"YinYin","author_uid":"64352","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 4:17pm","epoch":1450541520,"text":"My thoughts on the ^^AS checkpoint: please kill me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Both before and after finally reaching it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My verdict: it does absolutely not work."},{"author_name":"JaJ","author_uid":"5496","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 6:33pm","epoch":1450549680,"text":"YinYin: Did you actually manage to get up there without finding the required powerup?

And whenever I once again died down there I re spawned but was still turning half of the time thus falling off to the left again ... (and seemingly no way to kill myself to quickly re spawn up top)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Now that I think about it I should have probably gone back with the wall jump, but at the time it felt like there was only going forward.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I may give this another try, but even till that point it wasn't very fun with a double tap turn. I'd much prefer button hold\/release combinations, but maybe these are taken for upgrades further down the road.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really with those button restrictions and auto movement it's more like a tangled up runner than a Metroidvania.
