cool game like the atmosphere but most of the times I don't know where to go. Also reflecting the fly is a cool mechanic, was looking forward to find other enemies to actually use the sword but didn't find, after clearing a whole cave section there was just a cliff with thorns. But would like to see what this develops into
Thanks! We're currently developing enemies and making the map more.. uhh.. cohesive? Looking forward to sharing the Steam demo with you in some time :)
Cool game! It's got nice vibes with great art; good job!
I have only 2 real issues:
1. The jumps feels too floaty; maybe consider making the gravity when you fall greater than when you jump? (It's a common trick in platformers; you can check out this video talking about it here)
2. The running attacks look weird, mainly because the legs don't move even though the character is still moving. The solution to this is to separate the player sprite into 2 parts; the body and the legs. (Again, you can check out this video talking about it here)

Good luck with continued development! :D
Thanks for the feedback! It's very useful, we'll work on that :З
