pretty cool game. have a really nice NES game vibe. especially with the music and graphics. it would have bin nice to have health bar for the boss but besides that no complaints. also friendly goblin is best goblin. great game so great job.

Thanks glad you like the NPCs! Yeah the boss is really unpolished, there are a lot of things that i wanted to add to the boss but i was just too lazy to learn how to do them, im using a framework that i haven't made a lot of games in before.

I want cloackgiving goblin to be a reacorring character in your next games. Best NPC by far haha

But seriosly, the game was very neat!

The pixel art is very small but it has a lot of detail. The animation when you hide is really smooth!

The gameplay was fun but a bit too hard for me. I think the jump felt a bit too floaty and some bats were a total pain to deal with due to how they were positioned.

The story and characters were simple but really lovable. (I wasn't joking about my first statement :D)

The music was really nice. Dream-like in a way.

Overall, it was a nice experience! Good job ^^

Thanks so much for the compliments and for playing! Lol the Npcs do give some life  to the game. The bats are supposed to be a pain to deal with lmao, i made it that way so that people wouldn't realize how painfully short the game would be if not for the difficulty lmao.

Developer

nice. this is fun and it has a smart interpretation of the theme. also the music and art style fit the game really nicely (btw is the framerate limited in the web version because from the screenshots its getting 300+ fps while on the web version its 60 fps?)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing the game! On the web version im pretty sure it limits it based on your devices maximum refresh rate, i dont know how to change this but you probably have a 60hz monitor if i were to guess.

Pretty solid, but tough platforming. The full-screen mode doesn't really work that well, though. Graphics were pretty good, and the sound fit nicely, though it took a while to load in.

The two biggest issues I had were that the game hangs for a bit when you enter an area for the first time, and that the boss doesn't really have a lot of feed back. I don't know whether I'm damaging the boss or not, and how much health it had left. I wasn't sure if I was doing anything right.

The ladders also felt very weird for me, I couldn't really get why I could/couldn't land and climb on a ladder when cloaked or uncloaked.

Quite good overall, though.

Thanks for playing the game! Yes i agree the boss could use some work unfortunately i didnt know how to make it flash green i mean fully every pixel green in bevy(i am very new to the engine) and if i had made it tinted it would have broken the 4 colors limitation. The delay before a room was intentional so the player didn’t accidentally catapult to their doom in certain levels. I guess it counterreacted and made the game seem a bit sluggish. other than that thanks for playing my game and giving me feedback!

oh and it would have been too easy if the player could climb ladders while cloaked as you would bypass whole sections of levels. Also it wouldnt really make sense climbing ladders with a huge ass cloak draped over you lol.

Submitted(+1)

It makes sense, but I don't think it was that accurate to the cloak state since I was trying to climb while taking off the cloak ig?

Developer(+1)

lol i probably should have allowed you to climb the ladder while taking off the cloak to make the game a bit easier ur right. but i mean can you really climb a ladder while you are occupied taking off your cloak?
