Good platformer with smooth mechanics! really like the dash mechanic with the refil mid air.

Good job!

I tried to load this but it just kept crashing my browser - looks like at least it's not a problem with everyone! The concept seems cool at least.

Love the art with the parallax effect, great work.

Nice, it controls pretty well and it's atmospheric. Sadly my controller has a lot of drift and it made it too painful to continue once I reached the spikes. It would be good to have a deadzone (an area where the analog stick doesn't register movement in the middle) and/or support for d-pad controls.

Nice job! Pretty challenging but not impossibly so, nice level of mastery that felt satisfying when I managed to reach the end.

Just a heads up, on the itch.io web build if you hold Ctrl and press W it closes the window, which could ruin the fun for a few people! The game feels nice to control so I hope you get it fixed so more people can see it at its best!

Nice. I got pretty far with keyboard controls but I could see this would be a lot easier if I could get my controller working! (maybe the web version can't do it and should download the win exe, dunno)

This game has a cool look and sound, nice style. The energy mechanic seems to slow down learning the controls, which are complex. Once you figure out the controls a bit the movement feels smooth.

Overall nice submission

Good mechanics though the difficulty was a bit high right from the start. I didn't feel like there was enough time to really learn mechanics before precise jumps were required. There were a few movement bugs but they didn't detract too much. The art is also very cute.

IMHO, the platforming mechanics here are well-honed.

Art and music complement the narrative perfectly!

I noticed that flying rechargers only respawn after the character dies, but not after re-entering the screen where they are located. Not really a problem, however.

hey! we're URL neighbors! i named my game "summoned" as well so the website has the URL for mine set as "summoned-2"! (i guess you beat me to the upload lol) anyway, your game is really cool! but really hard too! the keyboard is definitely not the best way to play this but i sadly don't have access to a controller at the moment.
