Description

Thought I would post this and get some late feedback from everyone. This is my entry for this year's Stencyl Jam. This version is not finished as I am still working on the ending sequence but most of the game is there. So give it a try and let me know what you think or if you find any bugs or glitches. I already know of some glitches but there isn't much I can do to fix them.

All looks fairly good.  The style has been very strong since you started the project, and the music is no exception.  However, I have noticed a couple of things: 

First, it's easy to jump over the speech events, thereby bypassing dialogue.  I actually didn't realize the villagers were trying to speak to me until I accidentally landed in the right place while moving from A to B.   Now in a game like this, that might not matter tremendously, but I thought it bore mentioning.

Second, I believe I have found a glitch: while playing through the third or fourth level, I fell into a spike pit only to insta-move into some pygmies upon respawn because I'd been holding down the directional button like an idiot.  That's not the problem.  The problem is that when I died that second time immediately after coming back into the world, the game flickered momentarily, then just sat there playing animations and music without actually respawning Kroma in the room.  It continues even as I type.

Minor issues aside, though, I really like how this game is shaping up, and I'd say you've made a ton of progress since you first posted this one way back when.  I look forward to seeing future developments.
