PSA: you can reflect enemy projectiles by blocking just before they connect with you, and it gives you a dash that makes you invincible too.
Movement wise I don't have much to criticize besides that jumping from wall to wall felt a little wonky; first you have to press jump and then quickly press what direct you want to move in, and if you don't then you character just enters a free fall, and if you press both at the same time it will sometimes result in you character not jumping at all. I think this could be fixed by making so just pressing a movement key will automatically make you character jump in that direction, reducing the odds of the playing screwing things up.
Another thing that should be added are sounds that let the player know their doing something right, like a sfx for when the player hits an enemy or pressing keys to escape a struggle snuggle.
And most importantly, a quasi tutorial would be nice, a small text box in the opening that lets the player know how to do things would be great; as a few people pointed out in the thread the player isn't given much in the way of directions on how to play the game ATM, heck I didn't know you could reflect attacks until I read the Read Me text document (and lets be real here, not many people are going to read those).
Really looking forwards to what comes next out of this (especially since I already found a secret area
), I honestly think this could be the next FotBS.
Oh hey gamedev, really liked what you've got here, the game is quite beautiful, music fits right in with the setting and is comfy in general, and combat wise there's good groundwork here for an H-Metroidvania. I do have a feel things I'd like to see to improve the game though:

The music is really good too.
I'll try again later.
Sopmeone know if this game has controller suport? Played on keyboard and even changing the controls some times the game looked kinda "buggy"
Like when you use your block and the protag starts walking left. (unlessI hold Right that way he moves to the right).
Wonder if him can block without moving.

Its just one level with one enemy type atm mate, no point in asking for a full save.
From my experience with the game, this is what I can note:
1- Artstyle is real nice
2- Moving feels very slow, could use a run feature or a dash
3- Short Range on attacks, which amplifies the slowness
4- The timing counter is cool. Excited to see what that will evolve into
5- Enemies could have more than 1 type of attack, maybe have something for when you get close to it

This seems promising
>the pixel art is well done and will hopefully retain its quality throughout the game
>Jumping height is... well a little bit too much I guess thou this is still beta so I guess you made it higher than needed just incase
>As the guy above me said, please a dash mechanic or sprint
>Enemy attacks feel way too slow although it might be because I am used to other types of games
Also, the lady's eyes from the banner remind me of Tanya's. I'll be waiting for her appearance <3

Ah ok
this game is really showing promise, cannot wait to see what else is added I also love that even the normal enemies have game overs, so I hope we see that in the future as well
and the art is just... damn!
In the ReadMe, it says that hitting F1 in the menu resets your save file. Since the game is pretty light in content at the moment, this should do for now.
ver 1.0b is available here:
No new content released though, from zolvatory.itch.io/:
A new update with bug fixes and quality of life changes. Please make sure to read the ReadMe and don't force the game to fullscreen resolution.
Bug Fixes
- Key bindings should now be definitely overwritten when changed. Disabled all old control themes and made a small custom UI navigation system that only listens to my own Input Manager. There is no blacklist for buttons yet, be careful which button you assign!
- Controls were still possible during scene, which caused problems.
Controls are now completely disabled during all transitions (Menus, doors, etc.)
- Player Character not sliding on the floor anymore after escaping the fairy.
- Climax animation should now loop properly
- Player air attack was lingering, now made shorter
- Not able to load a room multiple times by using movements during transition
- Player now takes damage when i-frames run out when inside the fairy.
- Fixed dialogue tree bug, it was looking for node when there is none.
- Fairy should now be able to count...although she will probably still get it wrong. Maths isn't her strong suit.
Quality of Life
- New check point system. Save rooms only!
- Down + Jump is now the way to go through semi-solid platforms instead of double tapping down.
- There is now a short animation of the fairy actually getting a certain something out of the main characters pants before starting.
- Gravity increased. This affects (wall-)jumping. Feedback is appreciated!
- Mashing when on the floor is now dual button (either left&right or attack&block). Can be swapped between in the controls menu.
- New dev tricks (press these in the main menu for certain effects):
F1 to reset enemy encounter.
F2 to reset player position to the beginning.
F3 to reset all keybinds.
F4 to reset everything (including your save file)
- When clinging to a wall, the camera now pans away from the wall giving you more sight! (When on a wall on the left, camera pans to the right and vice versa)
