Really well done character controller. It gets a little monotonous eventually, but is great overall.
Cool. I liked how responsive the combat was. :)
this is a really awesome entry the combat is fun and the dashing in satisfying, well done
fun game, I loved the dashing sound, very satisfying.
The game is very interesting, especially the dubbing is very cute, the boss is always an axe at the end, it is very decompressing to play, I like it very much, I hope you can also play my game and give us some suggestions
Whoa whoa whoa, how cool is this game! I enjoyed it a lot haha, I imagine playing this on my free time. This is fantastic. Well done ^_^
Daaaaaaamn, that's a lot of work ! Congratulations, that was a really polished and complete game, in only one week, that's impressive ! The art style is really good (3 environments, really ? Wow !), the music fits perfectly well and the sounds are hilariously good ^^ ! The gameplay is enjoyable, the dash is a really nice addition and makes the whole game very smooth =).
For doing such a quality game, you seem to be invested in game making, so let me expand a bit on what, in my opinion, you could improve in your game (and what to check for the next =p). Keep in mind that this is an awesome entry, and these are just some little suggestions for going a step further =).
My first little concern is about the level design. There are a lot of levels, some of them introduce new ennemies, which is really good and makes me want to see more, but some other levels feels more like "fillers". I think I would have enjoyed less levels, but more new mechanics in each level ^^ (and a bit less backtracking).
The balancing of the game is also a little issue. In general, most enemies can be killed just by spamming the bat (even the clown, that you can kill in 3 hits before he releases his attack). Enemy design like the mouth or the key where interesting because they needed to use the dash at a good timing (either as a gap-closer, for the mouth, or a evade tool, for the key). I would have enjoyed a more "beefy" clown that couldn't be one-cycled ^^.
Finally, I can understand why, in a sense, this respects the theme (the whole "it was a dream" thing), but I really enjoy when the theme influences the gameplay, and not only the story/graphics of a game.
Ok, I'm always worried when I leave comments like this, because there is more text for "what can be improve" than for "what is good", so let me repeat myself : these are just little hints for you to become better, but, in its current state, the game is REALLY good. You worked hard and it shows, so congratulations. You can be really proud of what you've done !
Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough review!
Fun game the art style was really awesome!
A little man with a bat. What more could you ask for? I loved the sound effects and music. Well done :o
Thanks for playin!
Very nice art! I like the style with the things popping up that look like of like cardstock sets, and the ground is so pretty as are the swaying plants.
Thank you so much!
Very nice visuals! The game was surprisingly difficult too, which I don't mind. It didn't run terribly well on my Mac, so maybe adding a few quality options would help. You could also maybe do a bit more with the dashing mechanic, as it has a lot of potential.
I love the little details of this game though, the enemies were cleverly designed and the level design made sense too. So good work!
Thank you for the thoughtful review!
love the art style! Also, love how the clown telegraphs his attack. good stuff
Thank you!
The dash is pretty satisfying! I liked theming around dream elements!
Thanks!
TY!
cool game, even though I didn't really get how it was supposed to fit the theme it was really really fun to play. The graphics was also great.
love the color scheme and creativity but the game needs a lot more juice. i would add some camera shake and better hit sounds.
Thank you for the thoughtful response!
It was fun although it didnt fit the theme to well
Aw dang, did you make it to the key room? That's where we were attempting to communicate the theme. Thanks for giving it a shot!
yeah I did was that like meant to be a dream at the end I was spam clicking and I think clicked off of the end screen
Just curious how far you made it, thanks again for playing! I'll give yours a play/rating when I'm back at home.
I went untill it sail something like Its a new day and then it sent be back to the start
oh nice, that's the whole game!
Amazing work! I wish it was longer, ha-ha.
yeaaaa, me too. I had to sacrifice more levels to make sure the current levels worked ok. Thanks for playing to the end!
Mine is short too, it's better to have something short but whole than something unfinished. Here, you can take a look and maybe leave a review: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418609#post-5478831
