Ranked from 15 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?
There are 'illusion' or 'hallucination' enemies in-game. Trying to attack them will damage the player.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I can proudly say that every bit of art and music for this game was made 100% by me. The code is 99% me, as I did not write the point-at-mouse code for the player's sword.

I’m surprised by how well you all rated this. Only 15 ratings and most of them are above 1,000th in rankings. Much better than what I expected for my first time, and apparently the music was better-received than I thought. Thanks so much everyone! :)

Fun Game! But i needed to read the description to understand the gameplay. Also the hitrange was sometimes unclear.

Love how you can get a few more stabs after you die. could do with a different sound for the fake enemies.  great work!

Uhh I forgot about this gamejam so I guess I'll just be the only one here that's commenting but didn't make a game but this is pretty neat. Much better than anything I could make on unity ;)

Developer

Thanks! I’m sure you’ll get way better pretty soon though, considering what you do with Scratch (you might just need a bit to get used to text-based coding).

Here’s a basic idea of the song you requested on Scratch. The URL was too long for a comment and I’m guessing the Scratch team wouldn’t want a URL-shortener link on their site, so I’ll have to put it here. https://jummbus.bitbucket.io/#j5N01en310s1k7l00e07t1ga7g0fj07r2O_U00000000i0o534T0v0pu00f0000q0l320Cagd030w2h1E0T1v0uu01f0000q0B1710_aid230A5F4B6Q0001PecaaR0000E4b262963979T1v0mud7f194q0717a71d350AcF8B7Q047bPf422R0000E176T4v0puf0f1a0q050Oa1z6666ji8k8k3jSBKSJJAArriiiiii07JCABrzrrrrrrr00YrkqHrsrrrrjr005zrAqzrjzrrqr1jRjrqGGrrzsrsA099ijrABJJJIAzrrtirqrqjqixzsrAjrqjiqaqqysttAJqjikikrizrHtBJJAzArzrIsRCITKSS099ijrAJS____Qg99habbCAYrDzh00E0b0y8000000000cN8P0000014h8y8000004h400000000p23mFxW0uw7lwgWkE7oEzQ1Wwtik3EkxW0teyfi7F1O0tkeClS6fIp4qouMfg7Ekyuyfg7Ekiuyfg7Ekiuyfg7E0kOfi9zW2ouBweiNjar6xJdFyCgSmMSuNFragGFB-DQpIebo3AILBdzgSCQOSgSmMSuNFruznUJjeDk2pQUw2ChW1cvlj3MapvBu9YjUDNfyv2D5e9YiUgURNeMPQvg6000

I probably won’t end up making a full song, I just wanted to help make the general motif of the main theme. Let me know what you think!

sounds great! I can definitely build off of this; thanks :)

Great art style! I like the concept, but it was hard to figure it out without dying and memorizing. Would be nice to have visual clues or a tutorial to warm up the player. 

Submitted(+1)

Great Game, Really loved the graphics! Wish there was more levels tho.  Awesome work!

Submitted(+1)

nice game!  I like the art  and controls,  the gameplay was fun and challenging especially the slime that seems to kill the player when hit , took me a while to figure that one out,  good immersive experience and nice replay value, great work! congratulations!

Submitted(+1)

The music and graphics are really good. Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)

Submitted

Nice work! I enjoyed playing the game. It took me a little while to figure out which of the slimes were transparent, but once I figured it out I enjoyed playing this little game. A little more feedback when you take damage and when you damage enemies would have been cool. Good job.

Developer

Thanks! I tried to make them a bit hard to distinguish for a challenge but with such small life and restarting the game being so tedious I guess it just ended up being annoying. I assume you mean knockback when you say feedback; Yeah, that honestly would’ve been much better than them just stopping for a little bit. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Good job in the game! It's short but still works :) I love the cute slimes hahaha. Some feedback though, probably reduce the size of the colliders of the enemies because I can see that the slimes are damaging me at the sword range. The way it reduces my life is also too fast, maybe set some delay to it :) But still, good job! :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I hadn’t realized that a delay between taking damage would’ve solved the quick life reduction; Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Too short man, but a nice idea :)

Check out our game too! :)

Developer

Thanks! I wanted to add more levels (maybe even randomly generated ones) but it turned out that I just couldn’t make myself work on this for enough hours to make it happen. Hopefully if I end up making a full game out of this it’ll have that.

Submitted

yeah random would be cool! Also i didnt get the "fake" slimes. Why are they hurting you, when they are not real? (I dont mean when you attack them)

Developer

I think they originally didn’t deal contact damage, and in hindsight I don’t have a clue why I made them do so. I guess I thought it was too easy if you could walk through them, idk. The idea “story”-wise was that getting close to a hallucination would harm your sanity or something.

Submitted

Yeah, thats what i thought and kinda accepted that. I personally think that was a good decision :)

Submitted

Nice sound and visual! I didn't like that much the game because of the colliders that remove you 2 lifepoint in the sametime and no feedback for this. But pretty good job! Continue

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I hadn’t noticed the damage issue myself, and I guess I should’ve worked more on taking damage in general (like making a “hurt” animation, maybe knockback for the enemies, etc.) Glad you liked the sound and graphics! That’s really the only part of the game that I’m proud of since gameplay design doesn’t seem to be my strong suit.

Submitted

This game looks good and sounds good and its pretty enjoyble, great job! 

I suggest the following:

-Player gets hearts somehow(add a chance that an enemy can drop a health regeneration potion or something/or maybe regenerates after awhile)

-Different weapons (maybe a shop to give a player goals to achieve)

- Some helping creature representing your subconsious mind deafeating the troubles with you


Thats all :) Thank you for making this awesome game!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked this, and thank you for the suggestions! I’ll try to implement these when I (hopefully) make this into a fully-fledged game.

Submitted

I think your game is quite cool, but I think it would have been a bit better if the slime attacks had cooldowns ^^

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I personally thought the slimes were too easy, but I guess that’s because I had to play the game so many times during development.
