Ranked from 34 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
reality starts colliding and ghost Logorbs, or monsters start showing up. They cannot be damaged nor can they damage you hence they are NOT REAL

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes, aside from one character: "Red", a floating drawn by Modboy for our previous jam (used with permission of course!)

The core of the game was fun, I still think lighting needs some work and the controls feel a little sticky but since the rooms are so small it works.

Developer

Thank you! I kinda disliked the controls I had set up but I had to move on or else not do as much as I wanted to do. What do you mean by the lighting needs some work? You mean how when you exit a room it gets hidden from you?

I think it just needs some post processing to give it some Identity, add some of that and then make some areas stand out more then other. So the sword for instance, you could make it glow blue and then it won't look as flat. Also in a lot of top down games there are small circular shadows under the sprites to give them more depth, although that's more of an optional addition.

Developer

Thank you so much for this feedback! I am making notes of all this so I can add it in a post jam update :)

So satisfying finding the next room. I removed some Bugs :)

The game is simple and fun! The concept is quickly understandable. The character feels weird to control, since he defaults to looking down when not moving. Levels also felt similar. Otherwise, great game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I ran out of time to do side and up idle animations unfortunately. Do you have any ideas on how to improve the variety of the levels?

Nice game, enjoyable !

I had fun, but more improved graphics or post-processing would improve your game !

Good Job !

Thank you! I actually was planning to do it with my friend, who loves art and would be doing all the art but something came up so I had to go into it alone with no previous art experience. I hope to add some post processing and graphics improvements in the future!

Nice game, but make the player automatically look down when he is stationary makes the melee combat system annoying to attack from the sides or upwards, overall it's a nice game and the idea is nice too

Developer

Thank you! I was hoping to improve the combat system by having the player attack in whatever direction the last input was from but unfortunately I never got around to it

Cool game ! It's also cool that you allow to disable screen shaking.

Thank you! I really liked your game!

Good game, but also assign keys to attack. Because many people don't use a mouse and clicking on trackpad isn't that nice!!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I was planning to add controller support but unfortunately I ran out of time :( I will probably release a update sometime after the game jam with a few more levels, controller support, and some general polishing!

The game was fun to play like the simple art. only i can't hit to the back.

Would you like to try our game too? You can compete against all the players and put down your own highscore.
