Cool game ! Loved the diversity of mini bosses ! Though, there is something I didn't really understand, what decides if we can respawn or not ?
There is a little ankh looking thing in the bottom right corner of the screen, each time you die you lose a part of it. When it's all out you have to restart. It's not made very clear so i understand the confusion :D
Cool game! I liked the enemy variety.
I'm glad you liked it! I worked on most of the basic baddies <3
I liked the Zelda vibe of this game... Despite the bugs of being stuck outside of the rooms, that I know if consequence of the time constrains, this game is really great! One thing mechanically that I think could improve the game experience is to implement that the player could hold the shooting button (with a cooldown between each shoot), as we don't have bullets there is no moment when I don't want to shoot and the act of click click to shoot is not good since the enemies have a little lot of heath...
Thank you for your feedback! I'll let the dev guys know! Honestly i think that's a good idea :D
Good Game! but I ran into a bug. I was bugging outside the room
Thank you for playing our game! I'm glad you liked it! It was nice chatting with you for a few minutes today as well! I can't wait to see your next game <
Ty gl in the next jam!
Well I warped outside of the map.
The game is definitely buggy, but cool! Time constraints definitely can make gamdev hard so getting something like this is stellar, seriously. Definitely much better when the music came on. There's always that ghost following you? That made things difficult, but interesting at the same time.
Good job!
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Most bugs will be fixed in the update but I hadn't thought of the ghost thing much. With the whole random generation thing, it made ghosts spawn much more in number and in spots that are not so convinient. Still, it adds to challenge as you said! Thanks for playing!
Cool little game. Some screen shake when you shoot and hit something would've been good but the rest is pretty fun. There is nothing to say more about this, so maybe you can rate my entry too?
Thanks for the feedback! I'll rate your entry soon :)
Hey this game is a vibe. In the beginning, I enjoyed the gameplay, but then the music came on and it felt like a Halloween techno jam. Unfortunately, I bugged out when going into a room and actually went out of the area, but I still had a good time.
Sorry to hear about the bug... We're working on fixing it but that'll have to wait until the end of the rating period. Thanks for the feedback though!
A nice Binding of Isaac style top down shooter. I liked the character designs a lot and enjoyed weaving in the bullet-hell style gameplay. Definitely had an easier time playing with a mouse rather than the touchpad :P
The song that plays in the background is a banger -- too bad it doesn't play until the first restart, I really liked it :)
Thank you for checking out our game! We are working on fixing the music issue but that can't happen till after the end of the Jam sadly.
The other comments mention music but I didn't hear any! I like all the pixel art and animation though
Sorry to hear that! There was a bug where you had to die 3 times and restart the game (with the restart button) for the music to start... If you have time, I suggest you go back and listen to it, it's a bop!
les sprites et animations sont super jolies bravo et le dash et bien fait, il ne manque qu'une petite musique d'ambiance, well done
using google translate - thank you! we loved working on this game. The background music starts after you reset for the first time.
Merci d'avoir pris le temps de laisser une critique! C'est toujours amusant de rencontrer d'autre programmeur qui parlent le fran莽ais! Je vais 锚tre s没r d'茅ssayer ton jeu et de laisser une belle critique! Merci encore :)
Best music in the whole jam! Also, love the unlimited dashes. I think some particle effects would really boost the visuals.
god bless!! glad you liked the tune
Yeah like calliope said, this a fun game with a ton of variety. The fact that you spawn in basically the middle of the room after going through a door is pretty annoying though. The music is awesome.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and i agree our music guy did an awesome Job! We are planning on doing a few bug fixes after the end of the jam so I'll see check with the programmers about fixing that spawn locations!
I love the sprites and the music! its a bit buggy especially with room changes but overall its pretty good :)
Thank you! you can thank CloudyTempest for most of the sprite work. Also your profile picture is adorable!
