Uh wow, this looks amazing. Just watched the trailer and went through some of the thread; super excited about this now. Best of luck with the continued development! :D

I think it lost one. Pretty sure Alucard saw it outside a long hallway in Dracula's Castle. |

The idea is that he's looking at the background. It's kind of a tiny detail, but is it understandable?

Yeah, I saw it fine. It looks like he's looking into the background. Interesting boss design. Creepy. |

It is now. Probably more so in motion. |

As long as were talking tiny details, I feel like the big eye deserves at least as much anti-aliasing as the little ones. It has half as many greys. Or maybe there's a technical reason for that?

In my mind, the absence of a-a and the grey bar that reads upon the big eye reads as if its coming out from the shade. |

Looking pretty sweet! Keep developing the enemies - they're kind of the bread of the Metroidvania sandwich.

Graphics are superb, but I wonder if the hand would look better as a dark 'devil' red?

Cool.
The only thing that doesn't look quite right to me is that the hand looks like it's behind the little robot, so it doesn't make a lot of sense that the player should get any damage from it. Do you know what I mean? The hand appears from behind the platform, and then it also disappears again behind the platform -- so why should the little robot get hit by it?

What I suggest is making the hand curl into more of a palm-down position rather than a fist, slam onto the ground, wait, then reset. Could also form a strategy of beating them. Also, I think it would look better if the eye opening up took a little more time.
Looking good <3

 The levels and obstacles look quite engaging, great work! Where would you say the difficulty bar is set to? No idea, but I'd say that if you were able to beat Cave Story you should be able to beat ESA. Hard to say, testers seldom comment on that. The bosses are easily the toughest thing in the game.  Can't help but think the space person should have a rate of fall when jumping, or something else more signature. I've seen that exact jump so many times it's getting crazy, but just a nitpick. I'm not sure if I follow - since the engine is consistent throughout the game, I'd say it's to be expected that you'll see the exact same jump several times. Or did I miss something? Although the space person is so , I think he (or she?!) could use just a little more animation and definition in the final cut. I think it's important to squeeze every amount of personality into it that you can, so the player can better relate to the hero. Problem is, he's literally 4x7 pixels for the most part, and I'm restricted to 32 colours. I'll try to do something, though, he could probably have more animations. |

Some suggestions: *A squish/land animation when you hit the ground after falling more than your usual jump height, accompanied by a slight pause before you can walk again *A slight knockback from more charged shots (Not sure if you already have this?) *Small limp introduced when you're low on health *A small squash before jumping to lend more 'energy' *A knockback+roll from really strong enemy attacks? |
