Made it to day 8. A lot of the designs are really cool. The player character and the bandits have really unique and characteristic shapes. I'd encourage you to be even more brave when it comes the design of the other objects as well. Are they hand drawn?\n\nThe game system is quite simple and creative as well. The dash is a cool idea as it is a nice multi purpose mechanic (movement and attack).\n\nIdeas for cleaning up the UI: Get rid of the day counter and show the day at the beginning of the level in the center for a second or two. Show souls and required souls in the form of a progress bar. Turn the timer into a little clock that runs out (or at least a clock icon instead of text next to the number). Would raise the tension if it's highlighted when you're about to run out of time.\n\nA little more feedback for when you gain or lose souls would be great. At first I didn't really understand that I lose souls when I touch bandits. \n\nOverall a very creative and enjoyable game. Good job you two.
