The game is aamzing in its simplicity. It's a really simple concept, but super fun and hooks one easily. The chill music supports that very well too! A little bit more clarity would've been great (e.g. explanations for the different enemy types).
- the walls are very difficult to distinguish from the floors visually - the wall collision is very finnicky and difficult to figure out - the hammers have a weird attack and aggro range. I couldn't really figure out how you are supposed to work around them
Overall it's a nice try but it's very difficult to figure out how the final gameplay is supposed to work.
Cool idea with a nice atmosphere. Somehoe the enemies stopped spawning for me after I passed through the gate for the third time, so I got stuck. It get's difficult pretty quickly, and the slower movement from picking up meats is a good risk/reward factor. Nice entry!
A funny simple concept. It's a bit difficult to visually figure out which lane the coins are on unless you focus quite hard on the shadows. Same for the enemies.
Some wonky collissions and confusion about progression aside, I think the game succeeded in setting a gloomy and unsettling atmosphere pretty well - the art and loneliness paired with the music of the first area is really good for that. I also really liked the animation of death spawning his pen. Great first try, I'd say!
I really like the graphics and the music! The controls should be included in the game more specifically, at the beginning I just jumped into the Lava, not knowing that I can use the Hook with both W and Space. Once I got it down, it was pretty fun and challenging. Some obstacles or special pickups could make the basic gameplay a lot more interesting with minimal investment.
