even those first two spikes after the healing chest was hard! i also wish you could charge more then one spell at a time. wayyyyyy too hard. i finally got to the first lava floor but i can barely get past the first bat. wish there was an easy mode or something for more casual players like me. cute graphics tho

I've delayed the rat at the double spiked until after you get your first potion. I also changed the healing salve to a full checkpoint. I also added a checkpoint in the lava area, and made the spike jump in the lava area a little easier. 


Thanks for the feedback, if there are other issues I can try to accommodate within reason. Enjoy!

This is a difficult, yet fun game.  The character Goober the Goblin is very likable.  I enjoyed this game.  I'll try some of your other games someday.

Are the rats supposed to be able to hurt you while they're frozen? The game's good, but it's hard. I dread the boss fight.

Nice difficult metroidvania! Weapon system was very unusual. One short thing though: i'll like to know if my attacks on the boss does something to him. It's a bit confusing when my bombs strikes theirs. Can't wait to see next Goober's adventure!

I can try and squeeze the code to get some visual feedback in there when it gets hit. Thanks for playing and for your feedback. [should be resolved]

Hey, I finally got around to starting a playthrough of your game, looking really good so far! Difficult, but fun! First video is up just in case you care :)

Nice! Thanks for the LP, I gave it a share. Looking forward to seeing that win screen if there will be a part #2.

Hey again, just thought I'd mention that part #2 is up now, it got a little more frustrating this time but I did eventually finish it!

too hard, getting past all these enemies without a weapon is annoying.

soemhow made it to the ice potion but back from here?
impossible!

where is the 'star'? just beat the first boss, but got nothing despite the implication that he had a star on him. (or is the door not functional yet?)

Check to the right of the entrance to the waterfall area

Edit: I guess I could put a skull or something on that gate to make that more apparent. I'll patch something
