A couple things to keep in mind for your next projects:
- Spikes are a bit too light against this background, makes it harder to judge where their hitboxes end. I could get through it without problems but I have good eyesight, just be more careful with the visuals in the future.
- I feel like a lot of people will complain about the save placements here. I certainly felt like doing so, nobody likes to walk to the first jump every attempt, especially in a precision-based game like this.
I personally didn't have much fun with this, but that's more on me not enjoying the essentials of a Hades-like. I do think this game distills the style in almost its purest form--the original Hades is frankly not that original of a game, though maybe in its time it was considered as such. Likewise, I unfortunately didn't see much broken ground in this one--there's not much to be wowed by here. On the contrary, by the final screen I was more annoyed than wowed by anything I saw--the jumps got more awkward in general, and I thought the 4.5 save to be especially annoying to do for a lot of the aforementioned issues.
But do take some of my words with a grain of salt, I haven't been the target audience for stuff like this in years. And until the last screen it was mindlessly enjoyable and I don't think there's anything outright wrong with that.

super fun hades-like with some pleasing visuals and good bgm (*for a hadeslike). save balance similar to Hades, mostly consists of generic jumps but it's still quite entertaining. unfortunately, you don't see many new hadeslikes nowadays, so there won't really be more like this. last save is the hardest - again, in true Hades-like fashion
