Nice use of the theme and pretty cool pixel art. Well done!
Thank you.
I like the idea of taking boss weapon after defeating them and bosses are well designed. A bit more polishing and it would be solid
Thank you for the feedback.
Love the art and music - fun game to play! Really great entry - congrats!
Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed.
Cool setting and art. Fun but challenging bossfights, although the controls are hard to manage.
Thank you for playing the game, I will add an option for custom keybinds in the future, Thank you for the feedback.
The bosses are very cool, I like how many different attacks they have, and how there are more attack in the rematch fight. The boss are really challenging too.
The design of the boss are nice too, basically the overall visual are nice. Also I like how you start the game by jumping off the boat.
Anyways, cool game!
Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed playing the game.
cool idea and theme , it took me a minute to figure out i had to jump out of the boat lol overall good game!
Thank you for playing.
Love your theme and aesthetic. Very good music. Gameplay is challenging, but not very brutal! Very fluid controls. But, I have minor complaints about gameplay. I don't get why I need punch, when kick in overall better? And charge of special attack is very hard to notice.
Otherwise it is a great job!
The idea was for kick to be a fast attack but low damage and punch to be slow, risky and higher damage, In the midst of everything else I forgot to balance it out but a post jam update regarding the punch and kick balancing is in the works, I will also try to figure something about the special attack as well, Thank you for playing and your feedback.
I like the game and the bosses HOWEVER kicking is op lol. and thank you for readjusting the controls from mouse to keyboard.
Yes a little kick and punch balancing is coming post jam, Thank you for the feedback.
I love this world and visuals! Super fun!
JUMP OFF THE BOAT LOL
JUMP OFF THE BOAT
Thank you for playing, glad you like the art.
Interesting premise and bosses.
I like the visuals, though the character, boss and background having different pixel sizes are a pet peeve of mine.
Sound are nice and very good in telegraphing boss attacks.
Controls feel right, and I had a use for jumping and dodging, and appreciate that they're not only there for show.
Feels like a classic NES era action game, which I very much like.
I stopped at the First Of The Fallen boss for now, but intend to revisit the game and play it to the end.
Thank you for review and let me know what you feel about the game if you beat it.
I really enjoyed playing your game! The art worked exceptionally well, and the music complemented it nicely. Your take on the theme, where you take weapons from bosses and use them against the next, was spot on and very cool. The bosses themselves were well choreographed, allowing enough time to react to their attacks. While it would have been preferable for the attacks to be bound to the mouse, the controls were still good and the game remained very playable and enjoyable. Overall, great job!
I will add mouse, keyboard and joystick controls after the jam, Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed.
For sure my favorite so far too, very well polished. Great job.
Thank you for the review.
Very welcome, good job.
This is my favorite game so far. Controls where very nice. Difficulty was perfect for me. The ony problem is I wasn't able to use the special attack. At some point, I took the hammer from the first boss but... i dont know how to use it.
So, again... a very, very, good game. Sound, visuals, gameplay. Even the little lore was fun.
Thanks for allowing me to play this game !
Thank you for checking the game out, The special ability has a little bar that needs to be filled up before using it, it takes about 5 attacks to use fill the bar up, you can tell me more about the problem and I will look into it.
I appreciate the review and glad you enjoyed the game.
Me chilling on boat.
Advice: JUMP OF THE BOAT
Me: No, thank you! lol
Visual theme, sound and concept very nice
good and fun game <3
JUMP OFF THE BOAT
lol, Thank you for playing!
Nice game, i love the music and the visuals, great job ;)
Thank you for the feedback, I really love your game's music direction.
Great game, but I was bad at it, couldn't beat it. Love the vibe, art and sound. Good one!
Thank you for playing, Good luck for beating it, I believe you can do it.
I love the art. I feel like the boss attacks could be easier to understand. Great job!
Thank you for the playing and I appreciate the feedback.
Fun Game!
Thank you
Great Work! It's very funny.
I would like to be able to choose the special ability myself.
The final boss is very difficult. I give up!!
Nice job!
I was thinking about adding that sort of feature but I thought it would take away from the 'exchange' part of the game, I will add it post jam tho. Thank you for the feedback and glad you ejoyed. Good luck for the final boss!
lovely game! had fun with all the bosses
Thank you for playing.
