Fun game,I loved artstyle.

Very impress with art and music. Controls is also not bad. Camera following needs more smooth tracking. UI is good too. 

Submitted(+2)

I'm in awe you were able to make a game this polished within a week. Loved the concept of the game. Great job! :)

Wow dude, really liked this one. The karma mechanic is really nice and creative! Good job!
I would prefer the sound effects to be more balanced tho.

The game is very good! I really liked the atmosphere. The sound and the art looked very nice!

Really good game! The only problem I had was that the camera movement feels a bit weird.

I really liked this game. I'm impressed with how much was implemented within only a week! Graphics look amazing, gameplay is simple yet fun, and the concept of karma affecting the next cycle is great. Only issues I had were the final cutscene with the bird was too slow and I almost closed the game because I thought it was bugged and some of the dialogue was worded a bit weird, but all were still understandable. Overall great game!

Developer

Thanks for feedback!
Great to hear that you're like our work!
When it comes to cutscene I agree the truth is that the second half of the game was a bit rushed bsc we were low on time.

Love the art and graphics but accidentally soft locked myself when I picked up the sword without interacting with the vines first.

Developer

That’s wierd. There is no need to interact with the vines first. When u picked up sword you just need to attack the vines by pressing [H] on your keyboard or (X) on xbox controller. I checked it just now and it works correctly.

Submitted(+1)

I thought i needed to interact with them, thanks

Submitted

The dialogue is very charming!

Developer

Thx! I like to think the "dubbing" add a lot to that.

Being bad is surprisingly harder than being good

Developer

I wonder what was harder, killing NPC's or not rescuing poor bear?

You have done an amazing job for a game made in only a week !

Glad you enjoy it!

So much stuff in this game made in only a week! This is a really cool game and I loved the concept! I really like the atmosphere/art I do think that the combat needs work as right now its a little bland and kind of pointless. The other thing is that aiming the grappling hook is really difficult this meant that I could not beat the game because after I died to the boss I did not want to use the grappling hook and go all the way back. Other than those few things this game is really good especially the karma and cycle system.

if you could rate my game that would be awesome!

Thx for so long review! Can you tell me more about why you had problems aiming with hookshot, our testers really like this mechanic I also didn't see any other people talking about it so I'm curious. Maybe something glich in your game or something.

Submitted

The mechanic was nice but it was somewhat difficult to line up the with the grapple points because the character moves little fast. It might just of been me being bad at it.

Developer

Oh, okay that for feedback! ^^

So much content for a game made in one week. Really cool idea and game.

Developer(+1)

Thx, glad you like it! ^^

The artstyle is reminiscent of Don't Starve to me, great game!

Developer

That's actually pretty accurate, we were aiming for a graphic style that would be a combination Don't Starve with Hollow Knight styles. 
Great to hear that you had fun playing our game!

Submitted

Very beautiful art! I love the atmosphere :)

Developer

Thanks, we were working a lot on art, level design, sounds, and music to make a great atmosphere!

Submitted(+1)

the art is giving hollow knight feels! love it^-^

Developer

Thank you! Glad to hear that you like it :)

Submitted

This is so polished! I don't even want to know how much time you spent on this XD

Developer (1 edit)

Definitely too many sleepless nights xD but I think it was worth that effort :) We’re all proud of final effect and glad that you like it :)

Developer

I don't think I sleep for more than 20h this week to be honest, soooo yea, love to hear people enjoy our game! ^^

Submitted(+1)

Developer

Thank you, in the name of our music composer :) I’ll pass it on to him!
