After some feedback about "floaty" player movement, I've iterated by adding some dynamic fall recoil and making jumps stop more responsively.

Very inspired by Momodora RotM and Hollow Knight

In the first act of the game, you can explore shops and houses. While I’ve done the basic layouts, decorating these spaces is beyond my artistic skills.

I'm reworking the whole initial sequence reducing the text to minimum and making it more visual.

For now, have a few seconds of the new initial cutscene.

Last month I added a small label to the save animation, and also changed the in-game cursor so it can be more visible now!

I also learned how to zoom videos in my clip editor.

Completely reworked how player jump and fall velocity/acceleration works, so the player is now more precise.

An error I made in the last builds was to add too much blur to a pixel art game (FOD filter, on-hit, foreground decorations, etc).

Those blurs are now optional in the settings.

I added a very small frame-pause when player does critical hits and when an enemy dies.

Also added a hit vfx on player (I just noticed the player never had one)
