Great Game

I was expecting a conventional metroidvania, but this gem came out that I really felt was very short

Not playing,but screenshot alrdy. say no

The game looks nice and it reads nice as well but 1 thing that already the screenshots make me think I won't try this game is: The HUD and inventory textures are really disturbing the eye. It's hard to see the values and read the texts with that spiky/wavy textures around and in the background. @Devs: You really should consider changing them to something less intrusive.
