Oh man the first impression was "Wow, i like this a lot", the art and the animations works perfectly, i liked the way you have two differents attacks if u double jump.
I dont know if the game isnt finished or what, but the first boss only did the pathing, didnt attack, and when i killed it nothing else happened.
Anyway, excelent artwork and sounds effects
this game is quite polished and the art and animations are amazing! the boss is a little too easy and doesn't really provide a challenge at all, Overall a very good entry with a very strong art style! Good Job
Great art! I loved the detail of having a different animation for the mid-air attack during the character's second jump. Would have loved to see some feedback when hitting those "practice target" jackets during the tutorial, I felt I was doing something wrong there at first!
If that is just a rudimentary project (as mentioned in the hello.txt file in the download) then I *do* want to see what you consider a completed project to be like...
The background in 2D art and animation is certainly in plain sight.
Great animations!
A good tutorial as well, something that's often overlooked.
The sound effects could have been better, and also it wasn't clear to me that the game ended after the first boss (I was still walking around in the level looking for something to happen). An ending screen would be nice.
Congrats again on the animations!
Nicely done! The animations were so good! I really didn't like the jump sound. But the rest of it was really great. Nice work!
Absolutely beautiful art. I love your style. Your animations are the smoothest I've seen. After defeating the first character, I was left ready for more! I would've loved to see what could have been done with more complex boss mechanics.
Fantastic art and animations.
I do think there needs to be a bit more substance to the boss battle mechanics and perhaps additional bosses would have been good too.
First thing's first, absolutely incredible art! From the environments to the character animations, all of the art here is really well made and the animations are so smooth. Audio-wise the sound effects and music are also really good, so lots to be proud of with this! I really just wish there were more. The single boss with one attack that also dies fairly quickly is really the biggest problem I think I have. This isn't to downplay the work at all, as what is there is really great! I just think that the art and effort already there could have really shined with just a little more to show, even if it were just a few more moves for the boss. Regardless, this game is really memorable and if you ever updated it with more content I'd absolutely play it!
wow great animation, looks super professional. i got stuck after beating the first boss so I'm assuming that's it - would have liked to see more
Amazing graphics but lacking gameplay, that's the best way to describe this game. The character design is reall cool and so is the attack but there's only one boss and all it does is bounce around the screen, after that the game is over. I wish to see more of this character
The animation are incredible! You have a real talent here!!! I'm not gonna lie i'm a bit jealous! The graphics are great too!
in term of Gameplay and game design it needs some more work.
Character animations are nicely done in this game. I also like that little pause after the attack hits too.
But the first boss is not too hard to fight and that may not be your intention.
Music/ Graphics/Animation 10/10
Gameplay is super Janky, the control are not very responsive, the game doesn't have any transition from screen to screen, and the first boss fight, that seems to be the only one" is super simple and easy. I defeated the boss like 5 times in hope that the game was bugged and that the new boss was supposed to load, but the game just softlocked there everytime.
Is such a shame, because the character animations are so good.
If the devs keep working on the game after the Jam ends, I would love to see what the game can become
I have mixed feelings about this one. From one side- art style is really cool. Love the character design, and animations! Controls are simple and responsive, and you utilized the jam theme really well.
Then first boss comes, goes down after three hits, and then... nothing happens? I can return to the hub, but nothing changed there. I can restart the fight, but it goes just about the same.
I mean, it's a pity, because the game looks really cool, and in my opinion has a lot of potential!
