- really excellent art style and solid animation. Reminded me of axiom verge in a couple of ways
- interesting and unique room designs that were quite challenging
- the world design felt good as well
feedback for improvement
- a simple one on the map- marking your current place on the map, be able to zoom in to a large screen, and include custom map markers. the game is a little too challenging in my opinion, and one of the main reasons is the exploration. The rooms are pretty large and there’s a lot of things, so being able to mark things you missed would be helpful
- the one hit death is pretty brutal. I know the checkpoints are instant, but I think it just feels a little too punishing. Maybe 3 lives to start?
To be honest, those issues I had made me not get very far. The gameplay just frustrated me out of difficulty, in both the exploration and the platforming. I can tell there’s a great game here, just needs some tweaks
Thanks for trying it out, and the feedback. How did I neglect to add the "current room" on the map? A little embarrassing, but I was on limited time. I will add this in future.
As for difficulty, yep it does need a lot of balancing, but jam conditions doesn't allow much for that. I will be looking at that in the future.

Are you planning to implement a map soon? I want to wait for that if so
Hi samthefireball. Yeah, I'll try to get the map included today. It was planned, I just ran out of time before the deadline. Thanks :)
sweet, I’ll keep an eye out! If you think of it, could u comment when you do so I don’t forget?
That's done now. Make sure you download the version called "runDiomedes0.1f.zip" as that has the map and some bug fixes. :)
awesome! I played it. Here’s some thoughts
