My thoughts are overall positive if we take the game for what it is - a demo made by a small team that wanted to do something creative and make a game. The art is very pretty, and by far the strongest part of the game. The screenshots on the store page speak for themselves here. However, it feels like there's some rather important polish that the game's lacking. The best example of this is probably the player's attack animation. The claw FX and model's swipe animation are disconnected - but perhaps more importantly, animation's a form of acting, and the animation doesn't tell the player as much about the character's style as it could do. In fact, "the player character in a video game" is the impression I get from the player's art/model/animation in general. There are more examples of lacking polish elsewhere in the game, but I don't want the review to be full of nit-picking that will put people off despite my positive recommendation. Every project needs to start from somewhere, and this is currently in the demo stage. The concerns I have are more from a production standpoint. Polish and detail take a lot of hard work and craftsmanship. There are many more levels to make for the full release, which is no trivial task - but I want them to be built from a solid foundation/set of gameplay loops. With all of this said, I did finish the demo, and I encourage others to download it if you think it looks interesting from the screenshots etc. If and when the full release comes out, I'd be interested to see how it's changed.

I really like the core idea behind this game, and that's exactly why I wanted to leave some constructive feedback. I believe it has a lot of potential, but at its current stage it still needs more polish. The combat mechanics feel too simple and lack impact, which makes battles less engaging than they could be. The soundtrack also feels quite generic and doesn't contribute much to the atmosphere or immersion. I think stronger audio design could make a huge difference. The level design was also confusing to me, and overall the game felt more like a very early demo or a basic tutorial rather than a complete experience. The menus aren't very intuitive, the color contrast could be improved for better readability, and I was disappointed to see that DualSense controller support is currently missing. Another aspect that stood out was the main character. The animations and overall presentation didn't make the character feel alive or responsive. Instead, it felt more like controlling a paper cutout than a living character, which made it harder to connect with the gameplay. Despite these criticisms, I genuinely hope this feedback is helpful both for other players, so they know what to expect, and for the developers. I truly want this project to succeed because the concept, artwork, screenshots, and trailer caught my attention, and I can see the foundation of something really enjoyable here. I wish the development team the very best, and I'll definitely keep an eye on future updates. If the game receives significant improvements and adds Brazilian Portuguese localization, I would be more than happy to come back and give it another chance.

Cosas buenas: - Visualmente me gusta, se ve bonito, y el diseño sonoro está bien. - Los controles son responsivos y fáciles de manejar. - El plataformeo es interesante, me gustó el uso de las diferentes habilidades aunque a veces cuando te daban a elegir entre una u otra para avanzar por un camino diferente apenas cambiaba la experiencia. Cosas malas: - A veces no se puede ver bien hacia donde saltas (saltos de fe donde no da tiempo a reaccionar). - Los diferentes tipos de enemigos apenas se distinguen, y las plantas que te ralentizan las confundí con espinas. - El feedback visual en la barra de vida a veces era imperceptible, no sabía cuanto daño recibía. Como juego hecho para un trabajo de universidad está bien, cumple con su cometido, pero sería interesante mejorarlo y expandirlo de cara a futuro. 3 estrellas de 5.

Magistral.
