It's amazing!! good job dude, definitively this is a gem 🔥
Awesome tiny little game, works perfectly as a break during work!
Great boss design as well.
What a great little game! I did get much use out of the shooting ability but I made use of all the other mechanics. Just the right difficulty too and I enjoyed the story. Great job!
Thank you!
this is a great homage to HLD while also being it's own thing. it controls soooo well. and the music+graphics+anims are great. your devlog on small things resonated with me as well too, and the metaphor of the fissure. great stuff, glad you are creating :)
Thank you for playing! I’m really glad the devlog resonated with you as well.
this is quite impressive! Very good signalling the bosses' attacks in advance
Thank you!
