I'm so excited that you're all playing this. We've been working hard with Bombservice to get the game out. So glad to hear everyone is enjoying it!
It's VERY 'Vania.
I've played for just over an hour and I have like nine different places I can go and five different places I can't go because the door opens from the other side or is locked with a key or mechanism I haven't found yet. There's a map screen and it looks quite a lot like the Symphony Of The Night one, stylewise.
There's also money and items you can buy or find, like one that lowers your chance to get inflicted with status ailments, and your typical Raise Max HP stat upgrades, which tend to be behind punchable walls. I haven't discovered meat inside walls yet, but here's hoping.
There's also a Dark Soulsy influence with the save points, which not only replenish your health, but also max out your healing items, initially to three but later to more as you get upgrades. Also, there's a greyed out Warp option so I guess there will be a teleport between save points functionality later.
Standard enemies are more brutal than bosses on average, but there's a fair few feisty bosses too in all shapes and sizes.
Beginner tip: Try not to fight everyone right at the beginning, the shield peoples in particular are brutal and will own you with their sick moves. Just jump and/or roll past them because you are puny at the start. I feel like I was bashing my head against a wall for the first ten minutes but once I overcame the hurdle of my OCD telling me to kill everything, progress came swiftly in all directions.

Well I got the bad ending, gonna have to try again.
don't tell me that's what happens if you kill the uguu bug
I'm not familiar with this series but 4 looks interesting so I started from the beginning. Just finished the first game. It's definitely a bit rough but it's likable. Feels very much like a Cave Story fangame.
Part 2 is a lot better so far.
I'm running into a weird issue with both games where the action occasionally slows down. Like there's too much stuff onscreen in an NES game. Only happens in fullscreen. Any fixes? Besides switching to windowed and back again.
We're watching the thread for any feedback you may have about the game. Anything you think we should fix/update/add/improve, just let me know. I'll pass all feedback on to rdein.
Also, if you just wanna tell him you love the game, I can pass that on too.

a vania for 10 bucks?
i'll bite, how long is this game?
Any 21:9 support by chance? Games looks really good and will probably buy it either way. 21:9 support just seals the deal for me. It was great that Stardew Valley has support for it.
Was wondering if this has different weapons and subweapons, or equipment/gear to use? Do you learn new attacks and powers?
Also I saw mentions of a NG+ mode. What does NG+ add/change/carry over? Mainly curious about replayability
Just played for a few minutes, but man, the combat feels super tight. The dodge roll, seamless switching between melee and ranged, the heft of your attacks and the fluid smooth animations. Yeah, I'm going to enjoy this a lot
Congratulations to the winners of the raffle! I hope you guys take in all that Momodora III has to offer, and later hit up RUtM when you're ready.

I loooove this game so far. The combat and platforming feels great, but the biggest thing for me is the despairing atmosphere. I was not expecting the game to feel so... lonely. I love the sparse dialogue, minimalist music, and desolate world design. Basically, my only gripe so far is that I don't like that boss music - that snare sample, argh.
The music in the subterranean grave area, though... so cool!
Their both available for free at their site: http://www.bombservice.com/games.html
Looks interesting but it's too moe-blob for me...I have too big a backlog to rush for this.
