Super polished and fun! Good one!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Love the artwork for this game first and foremost. Controls were good and bosses felt fair. Last boss took some getting used to but still beat it in the end. Only thing I'm not sure I like was the limited attempts. I never lost all of mine in my playthrough, but I assume losing all your attempts restarts the whole game, which would just be aggravating and not provide a real gameplay benefit.
Yeah, losing all your attempts resets the whole thing. We thought about making you continue from the same boss, but in the end, the idea was that if you lost, you may go: "Okay, I don't like those abilities/Those abilities suck", and try out different ones. Glad you liked the game!
Wow! Really impressive that you manage to finish the game in only one attemp, nice job!! Try the Hardcore mode if you have time so you can see the mechanic, doing progress thrue the attempts and switching the build.
The game was very fun. The tutorial helped a lot. I loved the art.
Thanks! All the art is from my partner, Frostyburguer, glad you liked it!
A bit difficult, cool game, I loved the ciperpunk desing, good tutorial
Thank you! We're glad you liked it!
Thanks! We put a big effort in have a nice tutorial :)
Visually stunning, even more so when you think of the limited time. The game played really well, it was smooth, maybe the falling down speed was a bit too fast, but that’s nitpicking really. It was pretty challenging, but after you got the hang of the first boss especially it lost a bit of the magic. Nonetheless, this game was really good, professional quality polish, and I was really impressed that it was made in a month.
We tried to keep the first boss really simple so everyone could beat it and see the exchange mechanic. But yeah, due to that, it can get a bit boring. Still, we tried to keep the other two more challenging and entertaining, thanks for your feedback, and we're really happy you enjoyed it!
I had a great time playing the game! The art seamlessly blended with the steampunk vibe, creating a visually appealing environment. While the first boss was enjoyable for the initial minutes, I noticed it became somewhat repetitive over time. Nonetheless, the music was a standout feature, adding a fantastic element to the overall experience.
Although I couldn't quite discern a clear application of the theme, the game was still a delight to play. Overall, it was a positive and enjoyable gaming experience!
Yeah, the first boss can get a bit repetitive, it's supposed to be the "simple" boss. The application of the theme is how you exchange your abilities with the bosses after you beat them, sorry if it wasn't quite clear ^^"
Definitely a tough game, easy might need to be a little easier! Boss designs are good. Art style is fun to look at and definitely a strong point, good work!
Thank you! Yep, we had a really hard time with the difficulty. We tried to tone down the difficulty a couple of times, but we couldn't quite tell if it was too hard since we had so much practice playing the game ^^"
Definitely a related problem to have, the best advice everybody gives is to play your own games, bit of a doubled edged sword I guess haha
Incredibly polished, impressive art and animations, it all came together great! It was tough but a lot of fun! Great game!
Thanks! We had a hard time balancing the difficulty because we had played it so much, sorry if it was tough ^^"
That was really hard! The art is fantastic, and the exchanges are meaningful and really well implemented.
Thank you! The art is from my pal, Frostyburguer, he's done an amazing job!
