I went full speed build so i kinda just had to dodge other reapoers, the spamming e felt kinda annoying so i just didnt even want to try it. \nThere is nice feedback when collecting souls and the direction indicator is nice. Too bad there is lot of things sometimes hidden behind buildings. \nWould have enjoyed more if the audio was more looped and not so clear cut in middle, but it really elevated the athmoshpere.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1168889,"author_name":"Chris Halligan","author_uid":"chris-halligan","epoch":1759867765,"text":"Loved the sprites for the ghosts!

The world also felt very populated with particles and lots of people running around! \n\nI think the fire pits that killed souls had to big radius, and I think it would be nice to actually have it visualized. It took me a little while understanding what was going on, so maybe a circle around them would have made it clearer. I also thought the fighting souls was too hard, I think I raised the fighting ability twice but still had trouble mashing fast enough so I just avoided fighting after that. The music were really nice, but I think the loop could have been just a little bit longer. I also felt I could hear where the cut was which pulled my attention alot to it. \n\nBut I have no doubt you'd iron out the quirks if we just had a couple of hours more.
