How does your game fit the theme?
You don't have any progression through the game and when you die, you just restart with another character, trying to do better than the last time but with different debuffs

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, i just didn't make the music, it's from a pack made by xDeviruchi

Really cool concept, though the game wasn't explained super well. Once I figured it out though it was fun! One thing I would change is manually setting the first playthrough's debuffs to ease the player in - loading up the game and starting with colourblind, warped screen and vingette all at once made it really hard to figure out what was happening and how to play.

Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback ! I'll try to make a tutorial level to explain the player how debuffs work and everything.

Submitted

This was pretty fun! I really liked the camera look it was very cool great job!

Developer

Thank you !

Submitted

It's an interesting concept. For some reason, I am guessing resolution issue I wasn't able to see the whole screen, just like an oval. So I didn't see most of the HUD. I like the uniqueness of the game, however I did started making me dizzy after a few minutes of gameplay. Cheers!

Thanks for testing the game ! The vignette that hid a part of your screen was a debuff on the player. It’s when he’s sighted. I made it look better in the next update thought.

Submitted

Neat game! Sound design was nice. I liked the paintings of the tree from terraria, and the bullet dude from gungeon! I thought the post processing effects were cool, although slightly overblown... The combat also felt clunky. I felt like the sword range was too short. Overall, nice game!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! I’ll try to make the combat a bit funnier and adjust the sword (and axe) range too ! Also thank you for rating my game !

Submitted

There was only a Windows build but I was able to play on Linux using wine! The art was good, but the  effects were kind of over the top though. 

Developer

Yeah i nerfed some of those debuffs in the next update ! Thanks for rating my game and for your feedback !

Submitted

I love the art and how the background is rolling while jumping. You could add some hurt effects so that the player knows when he hits and get damage.
Overall cool little game :)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, I'll do that in the future !

Submitted

I like how you interpreted the theme into this cool game, also the character designs are very appealing

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it ! I may add more of them in the future (female characters for exemple)

Submitted

The music and looks are really good. I also liked that you implemented many different characters for the game. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! What could i do to make the game a bit funnier thought ?

Submitted

Maybe add a few new features, like a type of enemy that's completely different than the others (e.g. an agressive enemy that directly moves towards the player when in a particular range) or more unique weapons for the player. Also, good particle-systems can really help to make things like attacking or taking damage more interesting. 

Submitted

Quite a good combat game for me 

Developer

Thanks ! What could i make better thought ?

Submitted

Nice work overall! although there was a bug where the slime's hp increased slightly before it was killed. 

Developer

Hey, thanks for your feedback. When there is a pink slime close to another slime, it will heal it (that's its function, but it cannot damage you.) I'll try to make it more clear !

Submitted

Nice mechanic!

i forgot to say something,  sometimes when i play the game it turns into black and its shades so actually it doesn't show if the slime is pink or not

Developer

Yes that's when you're colorblind ! I added a screen to show the player what he's affected by so you're not too confused when the game becomes gray and looks weird haha. I will only be able to put it in the game in 2 weeks tho.

Submitted

Nice little combat platformer! Liked the music selection and the pixel art. The game was fun, I just don't know why it was black and white and like with fish eye, I couldn't see my health or timer, but photos of the game showed it in color, so I don't know what happened.

Developer(+1)

When you start the game, debuffs are applied to your character. In that case, you were sighted, colorblind and myopic. Every "eye" debuff combined haha. In the future update, there will be a screen showing your debuffs so you can understand easily why your vision is like that.

Thanks for rating my game !

I like the music and the respawn. The changing character randomly when the player dies gives the feeling of a new life. Although I found a bug, sometimes some slimes don't damage me and instead of them pushing me around, they just bump into me though it's funny when that happens. 

The debuffs are exaggerated. You should it a bit 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback. I "nerfed" the debuffs for a future update and i fixed the bugs with the slimes. Happy you appreciated the game !

Submitted

 Slimes have weird gravity, so I saw a flying slime haha. Although there's little bugs, nice game! I like your art style. I think it will be a better game if you keep developing this.

Developer

Yes that's what i plan on to do, and the bug with flying slimes is fixed haha. Thanks for your feedback

Submitted

I like the art and music! Nice work. I think it would benefit a lot by having the enemies be knocked back when you land a hit - then you wouldn't need to chase behind them to kill them =D

Developer

Really great idea ! Thanks for sharing it. Have a great day

Submitted

You should pay more attention to the confusing bulge effect.In the gameplay, you need to balance the HP of enemies and the damage inflicted on the character.Good luck to you!

Developer

Thank you for testing my game, your feedback will help ! I'll try to change that in the future update

Plays very smooth, but those slimes are pushing you, like they dont have to =) Overall I love how polished this game looks, but fighting enemies could be a little boring. Good job! =)

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! I'll fix that in a future update.

Submitted

good game bro

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! What made you like it ?

Cool game, had a lot going for it. was a lot of fun exploring the map finding items and even a new weapon. there was even reference to the bullet enemy from enter the gungeon. sadly there was not that much to do. but you know it's a game jam, all games are short, also background music was great.

overall, great game. keep it up♥

Developer

Thank you for your feedback ! I know that the game is a bit empty, I’ll try to add a bit more content as soon as i can to make the game fun. Have a great day !

Submitted (1 edit)

You have a very interesting interpretation of the theme!  It was a little  hard to see things on my first run through, not going to lie you went a tad overboard with the post-processing  lol (Pesky de-buff). But it's a solid entry, great job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it ! I’ll try to make the debuffs a bit less annoying and add more of them.

Submitted

Just... what I need to do? Whole point of game is to prove me that my life is pointless? :D

Developer

Your goal is to have the most points possible with a limited amount of time and debuffs. Saldy i know there is a bug with slimes but i can't fix it because of the jam. Did you like the game thought ?

Submitted

For me it was quite pointless. I just need to kill slimes? If you create games you should or give a player high purpose, or make process itself satissfying, and for it wasnt. Try for example give a little more dynamic to game, make an andanced AI for enemies and more complicated weapon, such as ranged weapon or something. Also you could use age for gameplay, for example with age player becomes slower and weaker, but has more weapons.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for your feedback, i'll try to implement that into the game ! I was running out of time so some of the cool things i wanted to implement aren't in this build.

Submitted

Please rate my game also!

Developer

I’ll do that, have a great day
