Great job! I found myself playing it longer than I thought I would. Just wanted to unlock all the skills! I didn't get that far, though :(

I played through the whole game under casual! Fun concept, and the theme fits, as those genres are pretty tough to combine. I did however feel that the game was moving too slow, however that might be because I chose casual, which if that's the case I recommend a third option that allows the speed, but not the hardcore aspect of losing items.
Solid level design and metroidvania upgrade progression! Sadly I missed one star, but finished the game 😄👍
Super fun game and cool idea. Physics were weirdly floaty but fine once I got used to them.
Thanks for the game!
This is cool little game, a little music and sound would have been nice, though :-)
I like the mechanic, gaining abilities by picking up items.
The graphics are simple but enough to let me know what to do. It seems to me that you put your time into the nice character animation and items and had no time for the level, am I right? :-)
Overall a nice game, great job!
@gonutz Thanks! I always leave sound and music until the end, and then I'm too tired for that stuff 😓
Actually most of my time went into the level layouts and implementing the different abilities, but I wish that I had added more decoration
Nevermind, it is a game jam and in the end you always have to put your focus on one thing or another. In LD 39 I focussed on graphics and animation and had only minimal gameplay. In LD 36 I focussed on gameplay and good puzzles and got a cool game but the levels looked very square :-)
This time I am actually very happy with my mixture of graphics and gameplay, I had considerd making a real jump'n'run shooter but settled on a simpler game. That gave me the head room to create both a solid, bug-free gameplay and cool animations. The more you practive the better you get :-)
Not bad! Casual moves quite slow... The system of hearts wasn't intuitive. I collected them, but then when I got hurt, they were still there, but just the number went down... When I saw the obstacles change after gaining a new ability, it made me want to explore more.
@heyycap I see what you mean. I wanted the display at the top to display your collection progress, but I guess displaying hearts like that has a different meaning in gaming. General question: Is it too late now to increase the speed on casual? It's not exactly a bug fix, but it's going to be one line of code that really improves the experience
a very good concept, i miss one of the blue orbs, maybe the controls are not as thigh as a metroidvania or a runner should be, to really feel the pressure, but the concept in general its very good, with a little bit of polish on the controls, and the scenario will be a great game... good job dude
@beren5000 thank you so much! I know that the animations, physics are pretty wonky, and sound is definitely missing. Despite all that, it's great to hear that the concept seems to have legs.
interesting and fan mechanic and so fun and strange hero jump animation but too hardcore angel physics ('-')
Good work with the theme with integrated combination of genres. Jump controls are a little floaty (jump is hard to get right). Nice job
This was actually quite fun after I gave it a second chance and ended up spending a lot of time playing it. wanted to unlock and find everything. Good job!
Oh hey I beat the casual mode https://i.imgur.com/OYVyvnU.png
Not even going to try the hard mode. It was already difficult to a point of being a bit frustrating for me at times
It's a cool concept but other players will probably enjoy more than I did, since I tend to be bad at runners and other reflex games. Kudos for including different difficulty levels though! I appreciated that I could play on a setting that wasn't too much for me.
Nice entry and cool level design ! A little bit of sound would have been nice, to reinforce the mood you want to install. The mechanics are simple but effective ! Well done :)
Very cool idea. The character comes off as a bit floaty, but the mechanics are cool and I weirdly like that you turn into a ghost and keep going while waiting for your life to come back. Turned out really well, nice submission.
