I loved your game. I found it challenging and intense, and despite some bugs issues, I finally managed to find the soul and score.
The game has a nice background story. The dungeon in particular was a fascinating experience and left me wanting more, the messages in each room in the game are great for motivation. I'm excited to see how you continue to improve the game in the future.
All the best for future updates :D

Thanks! I'm really happy that you had fun with this little title XD So far the response to this has been really encouraging! =D

Also wow! That's quite a score - I didn't know that was possible =P Did you rack up the time so that you could explore at a calmer pace? That was certainly a strategy I wanted people to use, but I didn't know the timer could go that high! XD

Edit: Added extra comments - Unless the commas are part of the bugs you're referring to. Regardless though, that's an awesome score! XD

I didn't rack up points; I just went as fast as possible, as you suggested. However, after you mentioned a strategy to follow, I took your advice. I managed to defeat the same enemy multiple times using the transition technique (specifically, the left enemy on the stairs level), accumulating a significant amount of 10-second bonuses and achieving the best time of 219.46 seconds.
I also encountered some transition bugs during my gameplay. I'm unsure why, but there were instances when the menu restart function didn't work properly, forcing me to exit the page and reload the game. I even experienced a situation where an enemy was able to attack me because I was trapped between the floor and an outside area, limiting my movement to left and right. The crawl area had the most issues with transitions.
Although I appreciate the fluid movement of the main character, I find it a bit unrealistic that enemies don't immediately strike. The player has to approach them within a certain distance before they start attacking. I could literally position myself above them, and they wouldn't retaliate. However, I do enjoy the fact that most enemies are easy to defeat, with the exception of the final one who delivers a beating.
It would be a welcome addition to have health hearts placed in empty spaces if you decide to adjust the difficulty level, which is currently well-balanced for the surprise factor.
Wishing you the best in improving your game! :D

Hehe I see, I see. I think the commas confused me, is all XD

Yes, all those bugs sounds right. I will do my best to fix these! Thanks so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. Will definitely try to polish it up more =D

You are welcome! Here are some other screenshots (yesterday I was not able to upload due to some technical error) to help you find the main transitions bugs I had, all the best!

This game is intense! Good job! :D

Backtracking through the map with new abilities and the great choice of music gave me some real Castlevania vibes.

It took me several tries to get to the boss only for him to beat me down. After a few more tries I got 122.12s: 122.12s

Edit: Got 96.54s! Got 96.54s

Awesome! Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you had fun! XD

Also great scores! Depending on the scores people share, I'm thinking of putting out a speed run video to show people the more obscured parts of the game =D Maybe after the MYCE showcase this Thursday & Friday =)

Hi interested players! 

Thank you for checking out my small jam game! =)

Please feel free to post your best time/score (with screenshot) on here! I'm super curious to see how long it takes people to beat this ~90s level! XD

Happy (RE)Running!
