HELL deep is your love? by Villanelle 2021-05-02T10:30:49Z ♥ 6
This is my favorite game from this LD. I have criticisms, but overall, I loved it. đ
Its biggest strength is its soundtrack. It's perfect. It's so good I'd prefer if this was more of a rhythm game; medusa heads floating (and visually "pumping") to the beat, enemies firing projectiles to the beat, levels scrolling with the music. I feel that everything you have currently (autoscrolling, music restarting when you die) invites this. I actually caught myself trying to move with the music and occasionally stand still and just duck to the beat. đ
The difficulty is also part of what makes it good, but some deaths feel kind of cheap. - If I've learned the level layout, I don't want to be punished by death if I take a leap to some platform the camera hasn't reached yet. - I'm not sure if the hitboxes are weird or if the zoom in when you die makes me confused, but at times, something left me feeling I shouldn't have died. - When you're slowed, it would've been nice with some visual feedback so that you know when it's safe to take another leap.
As for the abrupt ending, well... That's game jam games for you. đ
Great job! I love games like this, so I'm probably biased, but I hope you develop this further.

Seriously, wow. I live and breathe games like these, and I think it's super impressive to be able to pull one off in 48 hours.
So simple, yet elegant. A unique puzzle mechanic with short & to-the-point levels that each introduce a new twist. Small touches, like adding dummy platforms to indicate water level for levels that require it. AND THE MOOD! The rain! Ah! I love it.
The music, while contributing to the mood, can be a bit repetitive. But hey, that's nitpicking just to have something constructive to say. đ
I followed you on itch. Looking forward to whatever else you put out there and will take a look at your old stuff when I have some time over. đ

This is art. Possibly the best game of the jam.

I wandered the gallery until it ran out of memory and crashed. And then I refreshed the page and started wandering again.

Great game. Love the graphics and audio and it feels really polished!
The only thing I can say is that I'd preferred if you typed words (at least fake ones) instead of random characters.
