[MEATBALL the MITE]

THIS IS AN AMAZING, STYLISH METROIDVANIA!! i instantly knew i was in for something special when i saw the first animation of the characters sprite. amazing work!!

UPDATE: ive now 100% the game, getting all items and saving Noodle! that was as fun as it looked, and i appreciate there being a 'good' and 'bad' end to encourage 100% completion. <3

i finally beat the game and collected all the medals. i have to say, this game is fun! it is very original, and i enjoyed most my time. however, there are some... glaring issues.
1 being the poor accessibility. for example, there is no option to change controls (huge issue when using Ctrl and W on a web platform). theres no options at all, actually.
and then 2, my biggest gripe, being the difficulty. i appreciate how you handled the stats, but once you max out recall it is very easy to cheat my way through the rest of the chimes. but before that, the game is fucking brutal with very little hand-holding. kind jarring :c

gotta love an EarthBound shoutout tho, always glad to see MOTHER in any form <3
but yeah, overall, theres some big issues but its not SO big that it hinders me from enjoying the game thats there. still, hope it can be patched at some point if its staying on the site, so everyone can enjoy it as well :3

OOH OOH FUNCTIONING BULLET HELL ON NEWGROUNDS, IT MUST BE MY EARLY BIRTHDAY
its so prettyyyyyyy, too, its not much but the simplicity is enough for me

its fun, but a bit janky! its hard to determine the hitbox of your mouse sometimes. i think making the game override the mouse to match the hitbox more would bump this up to a 5, tho!

[Heroes of Pico's School]

waow.. its so pretty, ESPECIALLY by Pico standards
also the gameplay is very fun, but still THOSE VISUALS
amazing job

[APOLLO]

cute! some of the parts feel a BIT too hard, but regardless it was a cool platformer! i found your secret room btw, easter eggs are always fun!
