Very nice art, and concept!

Developer

Thank you for the comment!

Love the color palette and art style! Seems like some UI stuff needs worked out. I noticed the damage numbers appear underneath certain objects instead of above and it's actually a little hard to see the black text over the abilities. It may need an outline of some kind. 

Overall, nice job! And congrats on submitting to your first jam!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I really enjoyed the palette too. I agree,  I will have to update the  U.I and Tutorial. Thank you again!

Submitted

Nice colours and animations, especially for a first try with pixel art. I think some sound effects would be very good (walking, attacking, taking damage). Those should also make the short background loop mentioned below nicer to listen to.

Developer

Yeah, It is true. I lacked a bit on the sound department as I focused too much on making a grid game.  Thank you for the comment!

Submitted

I really like the color palette and the perspective you created. I really enjoyed it. I would love to see it fleshed out with additional mechanics. Nice work. 

I loved the idea and the art! very good game and I see a lot of potential.

Developer

Thank you so much! I intend to make more games like this, especially turn-based!

Submitted

Well, it's surely looks sweet, but gameplay is quite simple. It would be nice to add some variety and make UI more intuitive.

Developer

I agree. The core mechanics took me too long to make them, I could've added a few more things, that's for sure!

The artstyle is amazing, it's really aesthetic and the color palette <3
At the beginning the game was pretty confusing, and as someone here said, UI is pretty complicated. Overall I think it's really cool!

Developer

Thank you! This was my first-pixel art game, I started learning pixel art during this game jam so I am quite happy to see your content towards tit! I understand about the U.I, but still learning. Thank you again!

Submitted

The color palet is so cool! These kind of colors are my favorite, I don't know if hyper light drifter is one of your inspirations but it gives the same vibe. One thing I have to say, is that the game looks cool and the systems interesting, and probably very fun if you understand them, which I don't. I feel overwhelmed by how many actions I can do. A tutorial would be nice in the future. Still, good job ! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I agree, I love these colors as well! I never heard of hyperlight drifter until now, but after a quick search,  I can tell that I will like that game. That is true,  I need to practice a better tutorial specially for turn-based games as they might be a bit complicated at first. Thank you again!

Submitted

Nice artwork and fun to play, but UI is very complicated for me. And I don't understand if I have move left or not. Music is too short to loop. Other than that it was fun to play.

Developer

Thank you for the comment. I agree, the U.I is a bit complicated without a proper tutorial. I do not understand the part of moving but I am glad that it was a bit fun to play!

liked this game:) I may have ran into a bug with one of the healing goo spots but thats ok. i think the concept is nice and the music was nice to listen too. It felt like one of those old nickelodeon games that they used to have.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the comment! This game does have its fair share of bugs and with time I do intend on fixing them for other projects! I am also glad you enjoyed the concept, I intend to focus on  isometric-turn based games

Submitted

Game is very pretty looking although it's hard to tell what my health is, the gameplay is a little repetitive after a bit especially with so many enemies but overall a very fun concept and lovely style :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the comment! I agree that gameplay is a bit repetitive! I focused too much on the core mechanics and did not have time for the fun stuff. However, I plan to improve on that! Thank you!

Great classic presentation and fairly easy to pick up.

PROS: 

  • Loved the pixel art, especially the color palette.
  • Interface was nice and intuitive other than the symbols for "e" and "t" not being too clear initially.
  • Objective is explicitly called out in the pre-game cut-scene so you're immediately guided to what you're supposed to try and do.

CRITIQUE:

  • Volume control or mute button would be appreciated since the music loop did get a bit old with the level lasting a long time.
  • Control labeling wasn't too clear for some controls as mentioned above.
  • The enemies look like "orbs" and the objective calls out the orbs so might want to better distinguish things you need to defeat vs things that could help you but aren't necessary to defeat.

Hi! Thank you for the comment and criticism.  This was my first time doing pixel art so I am quite happy you enjoyed it. I agree that the music might be a bit repetitive after a while and a sound menu would be good. I intend to implement it in my future projects. Control labeling and objective calls it is something that I definitely should have made a tutorial specific for it. I will try my best in the future to create one solely for learning the mechanics and enemies. Thank you!

I like the pastel colour but probably better if you increase the contrast for the text or any UI above the game.  This is really good for a first game jam.

Developer

Absolutely true. Thank you for the criticism. 

Submitted(+1)

The art is good - just maybe use other colors? So the different buttons and tiles stand out from each other? The controls are also kind of strange and I don't know how to move the camera and can't continue the game after killing everyone in one place and not being able to move the camera. But this is a great game!

Developer

Thank you.  You can press T for the tutorial, it explains how the camera moves as well! Thank you for the comment.

Exceptional pixel art.

It was a little difficult to see the keys for the actions.

Developer

I agree.  Thank you for the comment!
