However, I loved that you could attack while 'falling'. That was probably my fave bit.\n\nOtherwise, a nice, short-and-sweet RPG.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Norris Eldridge","author_uid":"1077464","time":"2019-10-07T00:03:12Z","epoch":1570406592,"modified":1570406592,"text":"Yeah that's very true @davidsheadgames this one doesn't super fit nicely in that Start With Nothing theming. I probably should have looked for ways to make it feel more like you were in need of items your didn't have. Had I focused on that a bit more I think adding some basic item collection \"puzzles\" or something like that might have been a good fit.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kazatan","author_uid":"1161119","time":"2019-10-07T00:24:20Z","epoch":1570407860,"modified":1570407860,"text":"I liked the feel of this game. It felt like the controls were slightly off, but it might just be the movement speed or a slight animation thing. I haven't managed to kill the void boss :cry: \n\nGood work on this though.
