Sup Zebedy! I just played the latest Demo version of PiN the Guardian Spirit, and thank god you added the controls at the start of the game, and like I said before, this game has strong Rayman Legends vibes, with the zip line mechanic to the item collecting, and the speed-based movement along with the combat perfectly flowing with the gameplay really shines through! And I love how the first level of the game is also a tutorial section on how to utilize PiN's basic moveset, like on how to do melee attacks, techniques, and dashing, and I really love the jammin' music you put here!

Also, if you have the time, could you maybe add a starting cutscene to the game, or maybe a wall of text explaining the story of the game, because when I got a little bit further to the game, I saw some dialogue take place between PiN and some yellow light companion (I’m not sure what its name is, sorry.), and I got a little lost now that I know that there’s a story in PiN the Guardian Spirit, but it’s not really explained all the way. I would consider adding a cutscene so that if players even care about the story, they’ll know what’s going on in PiN’s world and also keeps the narrative of the game flowing.

Keep going, and you can make something truly special with this game! Also, love how you're focusing on community-based feedback to fix and improve your game! And as always, you and I keep in touch on each other's games!! ❤️🎮👾

Hey Zebedy. Not sure if you read my comment, but here's what I said: "

Your welcome again! Also, I have something to tell you. Recently, in the Godot Forum, my account is currently temporarily on hold because of a flagged post that was removed by the staff in the post "Looking for early feedback for my game" by FreakyGoose (Here's the link: https://forum.godotengine.org/t/looking-for-early-feedback-for-my-game/118786 ) and it says by step system that my post was off-topic, and here's what I said: @FreakyGoose , this is awe-inspiringly **OUTSTANDING**, and very much looks like something from the Hollow Knight devs themselves, Team Cherry.

The visuals, the combat, the atmosphere, the animations, true love, care, and effort was put into this project, and it shows in every single aspect.

Can’t wait to see how this turns out in the end! Keep up the good work, @FreakyGoose and the rest of the team!

Also, @FreakyGoose , could you take the time to check out my devlog about my 2D platformer I’m working on, Juicy the Orange (Here’s the link for the devlog Godot Forum and my game page on itch.io: https://forum.godotengine.org/t/currently-working-on-a-2d-platformer-devlog/123473/29, and Juicy the Orange by Joshington , and you could also consider liking, commenting, and suggesting ideas on my devlog, and also consider following me on itch.io, and plus, I feel like it would be worth your time, since this is a HUGE learning experience for me using Godot 4, and I love to see how I vision it in the end! Thanks for sharing and checking out if you do!! ❤️🎮

So, unfortunately, I can't update my devlog for Juicy the Orange nor make any replies on the Godot Forum until 'm allowed access to my account again.

But, I'll still update my progress on itch.io, and it can be viewed by the world there! Just wanted to let you know about my situation, and I hope you still keep in touch and checking out my progress on Juicy the Orange, and all the best of luck on PiN the Guardian Spirit! Thanks a bunch for taking account of my suggestions about the options and controls!!! ❤️❤️❤️🕹🎮" 

Simply WOW. Like, this is Rayman Legends type of quality. The music, the visuals, the art style, even right down to the gameplay is a console-quality craft of an indie game right here, and the fact that this is being made by ONE person is just inspiring. Definently an A-list indie game right here and there in every aspect in the visual department, IZdbe.

Can tell it's Rayman inspired without having played Rayman. The visuals are great. A couple gripes: 

• The parry seemingly makes the normal enemies miss their knife throw.
• Some spots where the level doesn't line up well (The upwards bouncing mushrooms tunnel is misaligned, The cliff above the two ziplines dumps you in a pit instead of onto the zipline...)
• Jumping off the ziplines making you fall instead of jumping killed me a few times. Maybe also add a grace period where you can't jump off; I'd always miss, try to double-jump onto the line, snap to it, fall off.
• The dagger lock-on would often either not activate, or go for a farther target. Maybe add a indicator for the lock-on target. 
• Add controls to the game page, until they're in-game. Had to try every key. 

But overall very promising, and I look forward to your future progress!
