It feels really polished. I would say the it felt difficult at times to go exactly where I wanted. If the player moved along the grid more precisely it would be easier to navigate. For instance if the player felt like it stopped at the center of each floor piece. There is a bit of deceleration to stop which can be difficult to manage in such a cramped area. All in all though I think you guys did great!

The game is pretty tough and it can be hard to hit enemies without taking damage or dodging, and I would sometimes get insta-killed by a falling object when it looked like I wasn't underneath it, but other than that I had a of lot of fun with the game.
