Very interesting concept and very hard as hell itself lol! One of my favorites for sure!!
Appreciate the effort that you put it all into context, and combined greek mythology into the theme ;) It's actually a very fun game, despite being constantly rushed to think ahead and actually move ahead before the blind lady catches up and stabs you in the back, or idk what happens when you 2 touch... Is that necessary? To make you keep planing and moving ahead? The audio fits the pixel theme and the hellish atmosphere.
Great audio and I found one bugs. If in dialogue system you press space button when the sentence is not over, all word would be messy. But Thats not problem in this jam. Very like your audio and graphics. But how to use WASD to control another. I try but everytime he die very fast. Any way Great idea and game design. Rates now. If you have time, Hopes you can play my game in this jam. Although its not very complete, I just want to get your comments for improvements later.
Tried downloading it, but I cannot open .rar files, sorry :(
Wow, this is a really cool game, one of the best I've played here, all 5/5.
However, I think it could be improved as the game feels too hard because the character are often got stuck at the edge of a wall, and the health are a bit too low.
And I've found a bug (maybe)... that you still can move after the game is over._.
Sorry for my bad english. Good job on your game!!
I was thinking about implementing checkpoints so you dont have to start right from the beginning once you die. You think this would help with the difficulty? Thank your for your bug report, I will look into this too. And thanks for your feedback and rating overall :)
Phenomenal! Absolutely amazing game with a very very nice game concept. I really like this game here and i am sure many people will totally agree. Worth every single star.
Interesting mechanincs and story. The gameplay is good, but the controld felt a bit too sensitive. I think the music could be improved(It didn't feel as dark as the rest of the game) and sometimes the woman got stuck in walls. Otherwise a great game.
Really nice game mechanics. At times though I was having a problem with the lady getting stuck in places. But over all a good game and I enjoyed it. :)
I had some fun playing your game. I like the gameplay and the characters. Good job!
A very solid entry! I like the story and the graphics are well-executed. :)
I'm not 100% sure if the vibe of the audio really fit the mood of the underworld, since it was pretty upbeat and kind of funny but it was entertaining to listen to!
Very interesting mechanic, though in some cases it was annoying when the woman would get caught on the edge of an object and then get pushed to her death >_< However I think the implementation of health went a LONG way in making this game a bit more forgiving, since much of the game relies on knowing what's about to happen in advance, and the further you can get, the better you can plan for it in the future.
Very well done!
I really liked this game. Great game idea and implemented very well. I liked the graphics and the sound as well.
So much fun to play.
I haven't played all games yet but this is one of the best! I like everything here, idea, gameplay mechanics, simple graphics and creepy soundtrack. And it's damn challenging and fun ad the same time! Keep it up!
Hey hajsman, thank you so much for your words. This means a lot to me :) I am happy you liked it this much!
