The smear effect for the transitions worked really well.\n\nI didn't get a ton of use out of the extra powers, since the movement pattern of the enemies made Grief almost always the best option. However I did make a couple cool shots with Loss, and unlocking Hope was pretty cool thematically as a protective ability.\n\nAfter figuring out how to abuse the enemy movement near the end, it became a little easy to win by just walking into a corner until the enemy movement lined up with your position. Perhaps adding a movement counter or a timer would have made the latter levels more challenging.\n\nOverall, great work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1126422,"author_name":"BangKerpow","author_uid":"bangkerpow","epoch":1744074243,"text":"@jiri-hysek The credit for the animated background goes to you.
