Nicely done! It's simplistic but not in a negative way, it's focused and easy to pick up and learn. The game is quite polished and cleanly-designed. (It's also definitely a bit on the brutal side.)

The Soul mechanic is very nice and presents a good risk/reward dilemma. I also like how the Soul still hurts foes when zooming back to you if you let go of the button, which can definitely come in handy at times.

I do have a few bits of feedback, though:

  1. The game would really benefit from music (and could use a more interesting game over sound effect).
  2. Saw blades could have their collision radius decreased by a pixel or two. It feels like they just have to slightly nick you to kill you.
  3. It would be nice if there was a distinct visual effect for a near miss, perhaps maybe a ring pulse or the edges of the screen turning pink and jittery for a moment.

My results:

Thanks for the feedback! I'm still working on a few things so it's likely I'll implement these.

Also, I struggle with sfx in pico-8 so if anyone knows of someone I can collaborate with I'd be eternally grateful :D
