I really liked the art for the game and the screen shake feels good. Though i found it a bit confusing  on what i was supposed to do also could have used more sfx and music in the background. I can see this getting much better in the future with more time keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you! Don’t worry, we continue to improve our game . Come back soon for the complete version ^^

The game felt more explorative than feeling any threat from enemies, not sure what unlocking chests were there for, I'm assuming you were to award the player when opening them. It took me a while to realise the empty key at the bottom was part of the UI and not on the map itself. The squid was the best part of the game and I wish there was a more of challenge like this throughout the game but still decent effort made so far especially in the graphics.

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing ! As for the chests, they are not finalized, there will be rewards. Also, for the user interface, it will be modified in the next version. The rooms will have riddles and the bosses will have more attacks.

This has a lot of potential, could use some music and boss fight music. The fight seemed a bit dull and easy as you could just sit next to it's face and shoot. I would recommend adding more different attacks too to force the player to move around. The UI was a bit confusing too. Aside from that the visuals are great! It feels like a cuphead boss fight and the squid design and art is amazing! The controls felt balanced too.

So nice, just needs some music and more content. It plays soooo nice I spent with it way more time than I expected.

That squid is insane!!

Nice visuals, I was confused with some stuff like the UI or what the pick ups do, and the point of opening the chest. But I liked it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks :) the finished version coming soon : improve the UI, add features we miss in the jam etc.

Great look of the game, didn't understand why you need to open chests but i liked it

Developer

Hi, thanks. The chest is for next feature. This game is not really ended now. We will post a last version few day later this jam.

The game plays very well! I liked the sounds employed, however I believe losing the oxygen resource does not affect the player, though I liked scourging for oxygen and energy packs through the level.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing :) Yeah oxygen is a not finished feature ahah but after the jam we upload a finish version of this project :)
