The gameplay though needs to be improved.
- I could buy directly nearly everything in the shop.
- Why do we have to click 8 times on space to get all the souls ?
- I expected each level to be harder but it stayed always too easy
Well done on the game that you made in such a short timespan! 🎉
The game is simple in it's mechanics and has a shop system which is great! I don't really know how you lose the game but I guess its nice to just play it!
Great art, and tileable water textures!
I wish there was a button for picking up as many souls as you can carry just because it gets annoying spamming space all the time.
Also I don't quiet undestand what the speed upgrade does in the shop since you just move as fast as you press WASD...
Overall great game and well done on all the effort you guys put in!
