Game feel, art direction, etc. The main gripe I have is that the witch can very easily and quickly corner you and you have no recourse.\n\nIf you had some way of escaping or temporarily disabling her, it would go a long way here I think. Maybe if you could just go through the doors, that would provide a soft \"reset\" to get you away from her and try the approach again. It would also add some nice tension between deciding to go for the potion or scrambling towards a door.\n\nThere's also a long term design problem (eg, what to do after getting the potions) but I presume you had more plans here, but ran out of time.\n\nOverall, really cool entry that just needs some more time to bake.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1187108,"author_name":"kaliuresis","author_uid":"kaliuresis","epoch":1761031722,"text":"Nice platformer.
