Hi, I just played the demo. This is great! I love how the art focusses on the environment to emphasize the unkown, alien world. The soothing music really helps and the minimalistic sound design fits the small character(s) on screen. Speaking of characters, I especially like the teleporting 'grass' beast, the game isn't afraid to introduce interesting enemies right from the beginning which makes the world feel more real.
Gameplay wise the game is solid. The teleporting device and dodgeroll add diversity to the other wise pretty standard gameplay loop (which is fine). It's great that you can fiddle around with modules and find new ones throughout the world to keep it interesting. I wonder how far these kind of customizations go in terms of influence on weapon/character behaviour?
It might sound simple, but I really like how it started raining after returning from a cave area. These kind of touches make the game feel professional.
It would be amazing if the game featured a raycasting shader (casting subtle light/shadow beams from the background to the front) to add an extra layer of depth.
As you see there's not much feedback here, just positives. I did run into an error, though. It crashed when I tried to save the game. However that is what playtesting is for!
Good luck with your project.
