It was a little short, little easy, lemon-squeezey

First of all completing a game in general is impressive. It takes much dedication to see anything finished regardless of how big or how small.

Now onto some of my criticism. Having played the game all the way through and being a horror-game fanatic, I'd like to point out that this is not horrifying at all though I felt like it was trying to be. Perhaps the direction was to be odd or discomforting, but the entire time I felt like it was only quirky. And not intentionally, but the bad kind of quirky. The controls felt too stiff or too sensitive in movement, and why did you bring in a gun? Rather that's not the problem so to speak but the power you give the player with that type of weapon really lowers the challenge factor.

Enemies weren't really well addressed. I wasn't sure who was my enemy or who was only there for kicks and giggles. Same with the scenery. There were many occasions that I was stopped dead in my tracks due to a black tile which I thought was just the background. One instance I was walking down a short corridor and I couldn't even tell when the floor began and the walls ended.

The "story" felt like it was written by a teenage girl who feels like she's full of clever wit and hormonal angst. None of the "poetry" even made any sense. One she says that "we are flame" for the sun and then mentions that "we will pay for what I've done." Earlier in the game she mentioned flowers. Either Gyossait has the attention span of a newt or she can't make up her mind what her true motives are.

I feel like I pointed out all the bad things. I'd like to mention some of the GOOD.

The art was fantastic. (Except for the last boss in my opinion with the flash Atari-esque bullets flying at you....) Whoever lead the art design has great potential and I like to see more. The level design was interesting but I felt like a little too easy at times (and others a bit confusing). The music/sound effects were, I think, the highlight of this little game.

All in all this had a lot of potential but, for me, felt like it didn't entirely reach it. Nothing stood out as a game but it was still a good way to pass the time. I do hope you take my criticism as constructive (as a player) and I hope to see more work from you soon (especially if it's in this direction).
