Your game felt good in terms of controls, and I enjoyed playing.\n\nAfter I figured out that G replenishes soul, I managed to progress more quickly. I'm impressed that you managed to incorporate a boss battle at the end of the level, given the short time limit!\n\nOverall, cute idea and fun gameplay.

Your game has a some great ideas and I think there's a lot of potential in it. Losing health on shooting was clever and well done. It created some careful decisions on when to shoot and when not to. I also liked the fact that shooting enemies is how you get your powerup since that meant there was a reason to shoot stuff rather than just run by it. I had a few problems with the game. The jump felt a little too floaty, the enemies bugged out a few times and ran over the void, and the final boss was super easy once you popped your powerup and made sure never to shoot on low health.

Knowing the special ability compensated for some of the more frustrating behaviours in this game, particularly regarding the enemy collision. It seems like I only sometimes lose a sliver of health when I run into a green ghost face-to-face, while other times, I almost drain what seems like half of my health. Just being near an enemy often inhibits my ability to jump, and my collision with an enemy on a ledge would cause it to walk off said ledge in a straight horizontal line and sometimes twitch a bunch of times before walking back and resuming its normal pattern. It was quite funny to watch. :joy: \n\nAnother issue I had with the game is that the controls are kind of unintuitive. I found myself messing up a lot when I first played because I kept positioning my finger over the W key to jump when you really had to use the space bar, which I believe works better for games with mouse controls. That being said, I think it also would have been ideal for the shoot key to be mapped to a keyboard key rather than using the mouse, since the game doesn't have positional shooting. All keyboard controls would work better for this sort of game and feel more comfortable all around.\n\nBut despite my quips, I think holding out to the end of this game was worth it. That final boss was terrifying! :rofl:","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Team-on","author_uid":"1097780","time":"2019-05-01T00:16:11Z","epoch":1556669771,"modified":1556669771,"text":"Congratulations with your first LD, hope that it was fun.\nGood realisation of platformer mechanic and boss fight","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Riddhee Dutta","author_uid":"1082307","time":"2019-05-01T17:31:33Z","epoch":1556731893,"modified":1556731893,"text":"Great Game Man hope you had fun making it.

I really liked the special abilities and the overall style. My biggest problem was just that when you jump you can no longer see the ground, which makes it really hard\/impossible to judge where you are and if you'll land on ground or in a gap and die! :) Loved the boss and lighting you added. Again solid entry, hopefully you'll keep entering LD in the future, I'd love to see your progress.
