"Sometimes you take a chance on a demo and it just grabs you, and that’s what happened with me when I played LUCID, an upcoming precision platformer that’s also a MetroidVania."

It was great talking with you Adam!
Thank you very much for playing LUCID, really glad you enjoyed the Demo 🙏🌸

Sometimes you take a chance on a demo and it just grabs you, and that's what happened with me when I played LUCID, so I spoke to the developer about it.

Super Metroid being such a big influence to me and LUCID, watching players perform sequence breaks fills my heart with so much joy 🥰🌸

This is my exact sentiment.
It allows the imagination the freedom to fill in the gaps.
Making the artwork that much more engaging and participatory.
