One of the my favorite games in the jam! This was my first game jam, could you give me feedback on mine?

Submitted(+2)

I can fully support the opinion of Jorava.

You guys have created a very high quality game and created all assets by yourself! That's desevers an extra plus.

Well done!

One of the higher quality submissions! The gameplay was great, using stealth and speed to avoid and defeat enemies. The graphics are excellent, and the music is good, too.

The mechanics support both a rushing and a more cautious approach. The boss fight didn't really match that, it was all about speed and repeating the same sequence of actions. It would've been nice for it to support different styles, too. The rifts didn't have much of a role, I barely had to use them due to other hiding spots.

I really enjoyed Rift, i played it in a stream and here's what i liked : 

-The art is SO good, it reminds me of Celeste a bit, and also hallow knight, i think it's a mix of   both in a  7 days game version lol.

- The ability to hide is so cool, it adds a lot of fun.

- The game mechanics fit so well, it's smooth and easy to controle, i got used to it in two or three attempts.

What needs to be improved :

- The hiding ability needs to last much longer i guess, maybe make it as long as the the bar showing the energy and reduce the refill speed.

- I couldn't pass third level , i start with three lifes and some enemies consume them all with one hit, which can be annoying, i tried running to those ice blocks without killing anyone but always arrive with a half to 2 hearts, and here is a good spot to put something to refill your health, because then comes a lot of enemies besides the previous ones !

- The theme is not well hit thou

it's really fun and kept playing it a lot!

Thanks for playing!

About the hide ability: we hoped that through a bit of trial and error players would see that overhiding or being overaggressive, were both inneffective ways of playing the game. We wanted the player to have to mix it up, a sort of "hit and run" style of play, strategically moving around and attacking certain people to get through to the next area.

In the tutorial room, on the ground it said that each room needed a key to open the door to the next room. This was to prevent the player from just running straight past all the enemies like you attempted haha!

Also the enemies don't actually one-shot you. Just some enemies shoot multiple projectiles from one spot, and if you stand on that spot you end up taking a bunnnnch of damage(apparent one shot). In fact each projectile itself does about 1 or 0.5 hearts of dmg.

This is from my previous comment but here is why the game is related to the theme: “the main character’s skill set and mechanics are based around portals and dimensions. He has the ability to portal to different dimensions(space bar ability), hide in the rift(hole in space) and has a portal-style attack.”  

Glad you enjoyed it atleast, and thanks for the feedback!

So far one of my favs of this game jam! Everything is awesome! The only thing I have to say is that you could underline the "holes" theme a bit more :)

One of the best games so far. The enemy position switching is a little to fast tho at least for my taste.

Submitted(+1)

The game is pretty good. The boss section is the weak part as the stealth power are usesless against him. And any of his attacks can kill the player from full health, but the second phase is especially so. 

Still good game.

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Glad you somewhat enjoyed... the boss actually in the first stage did half a heart, and the second stage did 1.5 hearts per projectile. It appears to oneshot when you get hit by multiple projectiles at close range.

Such a beautiful and well executed game, loved the stealth mechanics!

The art is perfect, I loved every single part of it.

The music was a good addition to the game, only on the boss fight that it doesn't fit, maybe a more intense one would be better. 

The sections on which the enemies were placed were well designed, giving different ways to advance. But I have to say, maybe the boss fight compared to the rest of the game is a little bit too hard.

Overall a very fun, beautiful and addictive game, can't wait for more updates! Congrats!!

Nice one! I like it! Wish I had time to play more :D

Submitted(+2)

Everything was so seamless, the tone was perfect and consistent through out all of the "pillars of design". Would have loved a ranged attack, but that definitely falls into the "personal preference" category, great job!

Maybe you could explore the "holes" theme a little bit more , but I liked it!! Very interesting graphics and music! Enemies were well designed and the boss was difficult but rewarding! Nice job!! :)
Here is our game, please consider rating it too ;)
