I found this visually appealing and also the controls easy to pick up and use. I also appreciate the level or lore but the ability to skip it too!

Love the pixel art and the music, the dancer attacks was very difficult to evade idk  how to, i didnt know what the final boss attacks did or when to attack, but was very fun to play!!!!

The game is beautiful and the mechanics of spining inventory for different weapons is realy sick, the flamethrower is really fun

Beautiful pixel art, the limited palette is amazing! The gameplay and boss fights are also very well executed. My only complaint would be as other people have said that the third boss is too easy and I could easily kill it by just standing next to it. Congratulations!

Developer(+2)

Yeah we plan to do some more balancing, before we made it easier it was actually really hard, and we wanted people to be able to progress haha.. Glad you liked it!

The game is very good! The animation is beautiful, I loved all the attack styles! The music also fit well with the game. Anyway, the points that I noticed that can be improved is only in the damage balance that the bosses give, there are attacks that are very powerful and let me beat the boss so fast that they don't even have a chance to kill me because of their low damage. Other than that, I thought the game was very good! Congratulations on the game!

The art is amazing here, the choice of colors is intentional which is just.... chef's kiss. Music is nice. I'm glad you included volume sliders for sfx and music. Only nitpick I have is the ballerina boss had some performance issues. I love the variety I have for weapons.

Developer(+2)

Yeah we had the performance issues too on the web play, but as soon as we turned on our browser's 'HARDWARE ACCELERATION' it played out much better. Hopefully it helps you too!

The art in this game is absolutely MAGNIFICENT!

The dancing automaton puppet is so delicately animated! Well done for that! And the fight against her is really bewitching :D The music is really beautiful too!

In general, the boss battles are all very different and very interesting. My computer started to lag a bit on the last boss. Too many little robots, perhaps?

Anyway, it's a very nice game, bravo :D

Developer(+2)

Maybe it was the tiny bots?! Haha, Just make sure you have the Hardware accelerator enabled on your browser!

Pretty cool art style! The music is cool too. The bosses are pretty cool visually, but I think the gameplay would need some balancing, the fights are pretty quick and just a matter of smashing the attack button. Good work!

PS: I had some performance issues in the ballerina boss, maybe it was because of the web version, I've face something like that in my game too :/

Also, it feels a bit weird that there are no collision boxes in the main hub before starting the game (the barrels, crates, benches, and so on)

Developer(+2)

Yes, we definitely have some balancing to do, didn't get to play test much before submission. And we are aware our objects colliders broke before submission haha.. oops!

Regarding the performance issue, you want to make sure you have the 'HARDWAR ACCELERATION' enabled in your browser when you play WebGL games online. It might also fix your gameplay online.

Thank you so much for providing feedback and the play/rate!

Visually, it's really cool, and the gameplay is fun. Unfortunately, the melee attack deals so much damage that it's possible to just facetank the boss. Otherwise, it's really cool and challenging.

A dynamic and very enjoyable game! I really liked the ballerina boss — it was awesome how she stays in place but sends out waves in all directions. The only downside for me was that some object and ledge collisions felt unclear at times, so I’d end up running into invisible barriers without realizing it. Other than that, I really enjoyed the game! :)

Developer

Thank you so much for providing feedback and the play/rate! Yeah we didn't get to playtest much upon submission.

Fun game! Animations are very well done but the visual clarity is bad at some places, everything is so blue, some tiles are outline which makes them stick out for no reason. The player and the boss should deffinetly have some kind of outline just so they stick out more. The sprites are really nice tho!

Game was very fun, music and visuals are very good, but some decoration blends into the surroundings and thus create invisible walls.

The visuals are cute, neat gameplay, and two extra points for the eerie steampunk setting lmao
Though I must note, the Skip Lore button wasn't working for me.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Sorry to hear the skip lore button wasn't working for you, I just checked and it was working on the web build. Did you download and play or web play?

The art is pretty gorgeous, skills are bit hard to get value out of other than melee. music is nice bit louder than sfx, boss design is neat. Well done!

Developer

The volume can be controlled in the menu to turn down the music if needed. :)

The game is very cool ! The only thing I would say is that  arenas level design are a bit boring after 10minutes on the game. But that not a big deal ! Congrats to all !!

The art was really nice and I liked the lore bits tying the game together. I did find most of the attacks difficult or clunky to use, and spammed melee through every single boss fight. I think if the other skills were adjusted to be easier (or have certain benefits) to use, and bosses had more counter abilities against certain attack types (rn just chasing boss and spamming melee kills them all), that'd bring good variety.

Developer

The art is amazing, I can see all the love and effort that went into each pixel. I think the different attacks are not super balanced and I'm really only able to use either the short melee or the ranged gear, because the flamethrower and the big flame circle are extremely slow at activating and the first two bosses are really fast. Perhaps if you were able to move at a reduced speed during windup, it would make them feel a lot better to use. Awesome work overall.

I've beaten the game in just 5 runs, all bosses have different attack patterns I loved it. Visuals are also original and they look great. Nice work guys. And it's made in 1 month.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

I liked the music and the small introduction of the history. The game was easy but I prefer so than an unplayable game <3
