For anyone struggling with Phase 2 and the parry mechanic, try utalising the dash to dodge under low projectiles and keep watch of the cooldowns- if you miss a parry its easy to spiral so focus on avoiding damage by using the plate platforms!
Loving the neon vaperwave aethetic, and the choppy movement was very satisfying - felt like old coolmath games like run. However, sometimes I felt a little lost in the map, especially for the 6th state, some direction signs might've been useful. Similarly, the white font could be diffucult to read at times, maybe adding a drop shadow or background to them could've helped a lot? Also after dying it would be easy to fall off the respawn playform suddenly and lose a second life, some barriers or a respawn stutter could help a lot. Anyways, I hope this doesn't come off as too critical because overall your game was amazing and I really enjoyed playing it!
Whilst the movemennt felt a little clunky and the attack mechanics were a little confusing at first I still enjoyed the final boss fight and the little twist related to it! The sprites, while simple, were very cute too - i liked the cat!
The art was nice, I liked the brain and neuron theme, but I couldn't understand how to get the game to work and would get blank screens... I'd be happy to try again if I could get some pointers on how to play since I didn't really understand ^^;
I love the mood you created, got me pretty spooked at the start! Although, I felt a bit of a lack of direction in the game and was unsure if i skipped over things at time - the end screen felt quite sudden. I liked the end message about controlling fear and the gameplay reflected that with the spiders (spooky as they were) being harmless.
Thank you!!! I think the level design gave our programmer depression lol, I'm so happy you liked the cutscenes tho! Thanks for the feedback for the diaglog text tho o7 UI is so hard TT
Thank you!! I grinded away on that art like it was a full time job lmao, we kinda overscoped the story a bit so a lot got cut but hopefully its all good exp for the next jam!
