I feel like it was intuitive, i liked the art style, the music was great and the game was fun!!\nI think there are a couple opportunities to take the sharpen what you have even further:\n\nFirstly, the music is really really awesome- it reminds me of FFVII to be honest. I like it a lot. I think balancing the volumes between things like steps and the voices could help with immersion a bit. Additionally adding cool sound effects for things like transforming into objects, untransforming, and a death sound maybe would help add some juice. Additionally, the music restarting every time i die broke the immersion a little bit, so it might be good to make the music run independent of the scene you're in (DoNotDestroyOnLoad() would help with this)\n\nSecondly, in regards to game play - covering the same ground multiple times can be often frustrating for players. If i figure out how to get past one enemy and get stuck on another later in the level, i want to be able to zoom past the first and get to the second quicker. given this, i think some sort of run feature might be really helpful for making the gameplay even more solid.\n\nThese two things could help a lot, but i mean your game is really really awesome as is :) \nThank you for making it- i enjoyed playing.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":669021,"author_name":"Fadex","author_uid":"fadex","epoch":1619658655,"text":"I like the idea of changing yourself into something else to hide yourself.
