Another game using Dante's Inferno and elevators! Great minds think alike, clearly. The art and music are great, the characters are funny and the little costumes are hilarious. The demon is hot 10/10. My one issue is that the minigame feels way too long- there's a lot of dead space between segments.
This is amazing! Like another commenter mentioned, I can't restart by pressing enter, which was frustrating. However, otherwise? This is AWESOME. The music is great, the style is adorable, and the little "you beat the level" jingle is *perfect*. Very impressive game!
@seafishelle, I'm glad you liked it! I handled a lot of the writing so it makes me happy to hear that you found it amusing.
The hearts across the bottom are supposed to prevent you from just camping on the floor, and to make the fight a bit harder. We probably needed to do more difficulty playtesting, based on these comments lol. They appear after you damage the boss with one broken heart.

I'm glad you liked it. We probably should've scaled back the difficulty, but my sense of how hard the levels were was getting pretty biased after I'd been playtesting them for a while. I could've sworn we do have a variable jump height, but it could be pretty finnicky. Regardless, I appreciate the feedback!
@willh-d,
Thank you for your feedback! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed it. The dialogue skip is something we definitely would've implemented if we'd had more time, because I think you're absolutely right! It ended up being somewhat of an oversight on our part, but oh well... Hopefully it wasn't too frustrating...?
Itch.io seems not to be working. I'd love to give this one a try but it's currently unplayable.
Edit: Awesome, going to check it out now.
This is beautiful. I love the atmosphere. There's a lot of emotion in this short game, and it feels very lovingly polished. The character designs are great, and the story feels very sincere. This is a really neat take on the theme, and I really enjoyed playing it. This is impressive.
My only issue is that I was really confused on what exactly would take me to the next area (flowers seemed to be the right one) but I didn't know what the other things seemed to do.
This is exceptional. Well done. Very polished, very neat idea. Controls are simple and clear, and everything seems to make sense. Graphics are awesome. This feels like more than a Game Jam game.
This game feels very polished and it looks great. Graphics are nice, and the mood is good. Controls are clear and simple, and everything works well. I think the only issue I have would be the pace. It feels a little bit slow, but that's probably more my lack of patience rather than an actual flaw.
Wow! I am super impressed by this one. It feels very polished, movement is great, and it seems like one of those "easy to learn hard to master" type games, and I like that a lot. Mood is on point (I LOVE the big monster guy), and this all around feels great to play. Seems like you guys definitely know what you're doing!
Really excellent submission. The mood is amazing, graphics are excellent. Only thing I would say is that the jump feels really short. Otherwise, this is awesome.
