P.S.

I'm a beginner game developer. My dream is to create and publish a game that will give players a bit of joy. This is my first game I ever made. It's designed with 16 colors, just like on the C64. My inspiration was one of my first games I played 30 years ago on an AMIGA 600 computer and an old Polish fairy tale about the devil Boruta. I modified the game's objective (you have to lead the devils to the portal, defeat them all in the last 9 levels, kill a Boruta`s and reach the exit). I also added RPG elements – a simple plot, fighting demons, collecting items, crafting items, character development, and skills. The only things left from that game are the method of leading the devils to their destination and the simple graphics. The game has 44 levels, I'm currently learning pixel art and animation to make transition videos between important moments of the game. As I am just starting my adventure with game development, I will be grateful for any feedback. Please list at least one thing you liked and one thing you'd improve or remove. If you find any bugs, I'd appreciate your reporting. Thanks!
