Like the art style and gameplay mechanics

Fun little game, music is good, and I really like the skill machanic. but I think the game could really improve it it had some animations, like the player shooting/swimming. I managed to get to level 5!

Fun game. keep it up♥

Interesting idea. I liked the art. A little more variation can be added. Good job!

Can you try and rate our game ?

Innovative idea. Needs some animations and finished assets, but great bones so far!

The idea is very creative. The movement is smooth and nicely done, I love it :3. However, I don't know if it's just me that I can't fire with my mouse?

Also, I'm impressed that you randomly change your map, that's fun!

Developer

thank you. seems like it is not clear for most people, but you need to generate skill by pressing 1 2 3 4 buttons and then you can shoot.

I liked how the music increased in volume, building up the tension. The visual aspect has some flaws, especially regarding the character's lack of movement when it moves.

I liked the graphics, the UI however was a bit disruptive. Good work!

The rune combination idea is great and that you generate random caves and runes at every start. However the I do not know how to solve this rune. You can not insert empty places so idk how to solve this. It's also a bit unfortunately that there is no music


Developer

seems like the game becomes too complex for game jam or I needed to make a tutorial) you need to up your rune level then complete code will be shown. Thank you for response.

So killing more enemies is needed?

Developer

yes, they drop experience

Nice game! the artwork looked pretty nice, though it would have been cool for the player to look in the direction it was facing, the skills and objective was a little confusing but overall it was cool design, good job!

Cool theme and environment. It was a bit difficult to know how the different combinations of skills affected the attack and when one combo would be preferred over another. I would consider adding some ambient background music to really push that ancient underwater ruins vibe.

Like Metroid in underwater setting

Interesting but it's not easy to know what to do.

Also i don't know if it's my fault but there is no sound

I did play your game but it was difficult to understand what to do. Also I didn't understand when he was shooting. 

Developer

You need to generate skill sequence by pressing 1234 then shoot by mouse

Ok, I will try.
