This game is really cool! I just have a few nit picks:

- The movemnet is really finnicy. It is really fast, but when you start it is really slow and then excellerates, and this makes it quite hard to measure a jump. I think decreasing max speed and increasing excelleration would help.
- It is hard to tell what is damaging you a lot of the time. A lot of spikes just look like they are decoration.
- The gray scale is a cool look, but it might be better if there was a little tint to it. Blue in the darker colors and yellow in the lighter is usually the way to go, but I don’t know much about color theory so take that with a grain of salt.

if you talk to the old dude, you go into a building while the dialogue plays, and the old man then falls from the sky when it’s done.

This is giving me really heavy hollow knight vibes from the title screen to the character design

Even the sword anim, if you keep the sword you should lengthen out the sword strike a bit

I feel (this might just be me) but it would be really fun to have a massive hammer as a weapon
