Really great game with a ton of speedrun potential. Would love to see a little speedrun contest for this. As for the game overall:
• The controls are easy to understand but tough to master.
• The level design has a solid degree of progression and each section will have you approaching it differently to figure things out. Especially in the later levels.
• The story, while simple, does a good job of giving you a reason to continue through the game.
• The art for the game is all solid and fits the overall tone/feel the game set out to have.
• The music sits nicely in the background and doesn't pull your attention away from the game. It acts as a nice companion as you progress through the game.
• The game is the perfect length, doesn't overstay it's welcome and is just long enough to feel like you really achieved something making it out of the dungeon.
• The controls aren't frustrating which is something I often find with any game that uses your mouse for setting strength and direction of your movement. With just a minute or two of playing you can pretty predictably move through the game but the potential for mastery is there if you really want to go for faster completion times.
Overall this was an awesome time killer and I recommend checking it out if you like a game with a challenge and seeing how fast you can complete a game.
Great job!
I'm really glad you liked it!
Can you beat the game without using A or D?
Almost certainly not...
... right?
