Rated! Overall great game! Felt like movement was a bit fast. 

Please take  a moment to help rate mine! Thanks!

Developer

Thanks! Your game is great too.

I really liked the first room-area, but due to a bug saying the WebGL context was lost, I was unable to get any farther than that, even after 5 reloads. :/ I'm so sorry!

Wonderful! Very cute music and character.

Some critical feedback:

  1. Work on your menu UI. I assume that you didn't have as much time set aside for this. But just a small amount of polish for the menu would make people have better expectations for your game. I was expecting it to be blegh based on the main menu, but then my jaw dropped when I saw your artwork! The cover of your game is important.
  2. The player movement was a little too chaotic for me. Maybe if I was playing with an actual mouse instead of a trackpad it would be more comfortable. But the sword swinging felt a little unnatural. I suppose it is similar to what BTP did in the paintbrush game, but for some reason I have an expectation of a sword handling quite differently.
  3. Some bugs in the game -- the narrator told me that the gate was open when I had only retrieved two of the three the objects. I went down to the original hallway but it was closed. I think that there was an issue of what happens when you start playing the game without clicking through the narration. You should make it so that when the player dies, the narrator does not restart their explanation (even though it was charming dialogue)!

Overall, I enjoyed playing this game, and got excited when I [SPOILER ALERT] saw the game developer (you!) sitting in that room. Good fit to theme.

Congrats on your entry!

Thank you so much!

Cool game! The graphics and combat system are nicely done. Movement was slightly too fast and the music got a bit annoying over time.
Overall good job!

Hey there, I wanted to give you my honest review about the game you made. Please do not take anything personally but use those feedbacks to improve your next games!

First: it crashed twice, using WebGL. Playtest, see if everything is going as expected before publishing. It is very important.


Then about the game:

  • Character's movement is too fast.
  • Music looping is bad, we can hear the cut. Also, music is very stressful to me.
  • Sounds are present but I would like to get various effects when doing things or getting damaged.
  • Pixel art is not bad at all. However your UI is sometimes overlapping when playing with the WebGL player, same: do some testing!
  • Fighting mechanics are very simple. It works, it could be better but anyway, it works.

I personally didn't enjoy it much mostly because of the crashes and the music, but it's an okay start if it's your first game, keep going.

Good luck!

Developer

Thanks! I know it is unpolished. After this  jam i will make a version 2 of the game

Developer

Thanks!

Nice game - like the pixel art and sword mechanics, though the movement is a bit fast. well done!

Developer

Thanks!

it is good but what i would change is the movement maybe just make it a little slower and the music is kinda boring (no offense).

Developer

The game idea is simple and fun. The graphics and the story is pretty good. I Especially liked the ending, it is really funny. The music is okay, but it gets a bit annoying. The movement controls is overall okay. The fighting system is also okay, but I found it better just to avoid the enemies.  Overall a good jam game. AND YOU ARE ALL BREATHTAKING! 

Developer

Thanks!
