Also, I came across a bug in which I was stuck in a wall, and couldn't move (see screenshot). Other than that, this is a solid entry. I like the music and graphics a lot. This game has a nice feel to it. I also like the way in which the abilities change after a few seconds (hence the theme), and you did a good job of incorporating the different elements.\n\n![ld-game-bug.png](\/\/\/raw\/967\/21\/z\/473b0.png)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":742912,"author_name":"Yotamco","author_uid":"yotamco","epoch":1633554672,"text":"The music is really nice, as well as the graphics!
