There is so much to love about this game, but the controls are so bad I just can't be bothered with it. Having your character idle for 5 minutes to regain health is a bad mechanic. Starting over from scratch after every death is not fun. I'll check out this devs other games though because the style is amazing.

Super awkward movement, you gotta do a 2d jump n run with mouse only which gonna take a good while to adapt to, but even after learning it it's still hard to just move, stop where you want to between these spikes, climb ladders up and down and jump when these damn archers shoot their arrow. The concept is a cool idea. Start as an angel with godlike powers and debuff with every level completed. Mastering the higher difficulty with the debuffs is challenging and was good fun! The levels seem to be randomly generated and it's possible that you fall into a pit where you can't come out anymore without the wings, which is bad, but happened to me only once. Refreshing game idea! Well executed! Recommended!

So, overall, I really like this game. I love the concept of progression meaning I have to relinquish an ability or immunity, gaining mortality as I descend. I love the music and the art, from the glyphs to the angelic designs transitioning to forest and lions/wolves/humans being what attacks me. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll be able to finish the game. Other reviews have pointed this out - while I'm pretty used to dealing with mouse only controls, and have been able to make it work for most of the game....once the only option left is to get rid of your 'Death Touch' ability, I have hit a huge wall. As the motion needed to deal damage also moves your character nearer to enemies, it basically ensures you take damage continuously as you attack - and since most enemies are faster, or able to jump further than you, if they can't outright fly/shoot projectiles, getting away from an enemy after attacking is also pretty hard. I'm going to keep plugging at it and trying to finish, see if I can find a way to actually make it work without Death Touch, and overall I've still enjoyed this game plenty - The concept, the presentation are all fantastic, and it's fairly short, enough that I…
