My learning goals for this game were: Improving platforming control skills, using sprites masks, melee attack, double layer tile-maps, dashing, check points, patrolling enemy that chases once player is close enough. *all missions complete, except check points and dashing :)*

Very cool game! Maybe add a few more checkpoint and don't repeat the voice acting after you've fallen and respawned, that was a little annoying. Keep up the awesome work!
Incredible work! Keep it up!
Can you please do a Mac build?
Hello! I will try~ but in the current build of the game, if I build a mac version it fails :( I will try and figure it out.
that was fun! and I really liked the revealing effect.
What's the difference between the two executables?
Hmmm I think the one without an image icon is from an older build (before I named the game haha) I kept building in the same folder, probably a bad idea.
Legit was engaged by your game. Especially once I got the high-jump boots I felt like the combat became more fun and acrobatic. I could jump around the enemies more easily.
Music would have been a nice touch but I understand there are time restraints.
Overall an extremely good entry :)
Thanks for the awesome comment! I'm super happy you felt engaged~ I too like the movement with the boot upgrade. I will use them in my future big project for sure! Thanks again~
Played and finished the game :) Really well done, I like the mechanics of the bosses especially, it made me feel as if I was playing a sort of 2d zelda game. Too bad you couldn't implement checkpoints in time as it would have made it less frustrating to die ^^
Thanks for the great comment! I definitely need to figure out check points haha. I'm happy you played~
