Simple but really fun idea. Loved the graphics and the fact that dialogues were incorporated with voice. Congrats on the great submission 🎉
thanks for the lovely review
I liked a lot this game. The bosses are a bit difficult, so maybe adding something to restore health would improve the game. Despite of that, nice music and visuals, and also great gameplay, it feels really smooth, good job!
thanks for the nice feedback. :) I'm glad you liked it.
Wow this was amazing! Art was beautiful and sounds were great! Took me many tries to complete the second boss but I got there eventually. Wasn't sure if it's a bug but I kept having to restart since I'd run of shurikens and no new ones would ever spawn.
yeah that is a bug. The boss should drop them.. I'll be adding the third boss and fixing the bugs after the jam ends. Thanks for playing.
This was amazing, definitely in my tops for this jam! I loved the theme, story, and overall aesthetic of the game! Look forward to playing more when you update in the future :D
aw thanks for the amazing feedback :)
Awesome game!
Would like to see the full game In the future! :D
I'll definitely be finishing it and uploading to itch soon
The audio and visuals were super good and I liked that there were 2 weapon types overall it felt really awesome. The second boss was super hard though with how strong gravity is. Great idea for the theme and the instruction banners were neat as well.
thanks for playing and I appreciate the feedback. I had to rush through the game to get it done on time which meant boss 2 wasn't finished. I'll be making updates once the jam ends.
I like the old super nintendo vibe the game has! Great work!
thanks
Hi. Cool idea about father who protect his daughter from nightmares. I liked it!
thanks. I'm glad you liked it
nice game
thanks
Love what you've done to the theme, and the assets and audio. I had fun exploring the rooms and it really feels like I'm preparing to fight every time I'm in the dojo. Great work!
thanks for the nice feedback. I'm glad you liked the game
This game is awesome! The second boss was tough until I realized I could restock on shurikens in the dojo haha! Great work!
Im glad you liked it. The second boss should drop them but there is a bug that stops it some times
loved the asian asethetic! if only I couldve protected my daughter irl!
I'm glad you liked it ❤️
Really nice game! Fits the theme well.
thanks
Nice game rated it, pls check out my game also if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
RATED!, can't wait for the jam devlog on this one! great job! :D
thanks cedric 👍
Great game! I really love it, and also I like the detials of it including the art and the voiceover, great job!
thanks 👊
Bonus points for voiced acting! Loved it - feels like a very complete concept that could easily be turned into a full game. The sword strike was a bit loud/needed to turn the volume down a bit, but other than this it was a great experience. Hope you get more ratings because this deserves to be ranked and Im sure it will rank very well.
thanks for the kind feedback :)
I'm pretty sure I played your game in a wowiegamejam before! I know for sure I follow you on twitter for game dev xD but ignoring that, I'm obsessed with how good those first few moments are, the visuals/voice acting/controls all of it set up such an amazing impression. The gameplay was great and this is definitely one of the games I've rated the absolute highest, my only complaint is the final boss fight I had to have exactly the right amount of throwing stars to defeat in the second phase or I had to jump off and restart. I spent a total of 3 minutes waiting for more ammo to drop and it didn't and this happened twice. Does this ruin the game? No not at all, I really really like this game and how it feels and just dang. I love your pixel art so much yo!
hey thanks so much for the wonderful review. My entry to wowie was Android negotiator. The second boss has a bug that stops it dropping star refill unfortunately so sorry about that. I completely ran out of time 🤦♂️🙉 I originally planned to have 3 bosses and that second boss should have 4 states... I'll finish the game after the jam is over 😆
Great game, love the art and how you made the dojo room as a little tutorial to get to know the controls. The first boss fight felt a bit long since the boss was invincible so long. All in all, well done!
thanks for the lovely review ❤👍
Wow this is an amazing game, love the interface and fun to navigate. This is awesome overall. Congratulations for a nice game :)
thanks for the kind review.
