Controls felt alright, too, but there were some issues with the collisions that added some unfair difficulty to the already challenging platforming (I'm perfectly fine with the game being difficult, but for example, on the second level a collision from the bottom of a platform would slowly drag the player and move it on top of it).\r\rStill, I really liked the concept of gathering memories.

The idea came really late and I struggled on how I would approach my idea, so this turned out to be just a concept.\r\n\r\n\"Even monsters have the chance to repent...\"\r\n\r\nMy take on the theme is about when we don't \"tame\" the monster inside us. When we work too much and neglect our family, when we don't try to understand the other side of a relationship, when we distance ourselves from our friends, when we abandon our children, when we drink too much and let the monster consume us.\r\n\r\nAs a game, this is just your usual clich\u00e9d platformer. The idea is to collect fragments of memories related to the cutscenes, revisit the past and summon the mirror, so you can look at yourself and repent the bad things you did in life.\r\n\r\nDoesn't have a happy ending. :)\r\n\r\nThank you for reading this and playing my 2nd LD game! ;)\r\n\r\nSorry for the unfinished business and some bugs. >_
