Amazing game! I love the aesthetic. Great job!

Good looking game mate! We already gave a sneak peek in the Discord of the Game Jam!

There are just some things about the movements of the character and his attack that do not convince us, but in the complex is a very good game.

An advice that we suggest is to use a different font for the tutorial parts and the dialogues. Probably a Sans Serif font will be the best

Nice platformer with good-looking aesthetics. Good job!

the art is really good

Cool use of the theme!  I agree w/ Lanyard on the mechanics bit, takes a little trial & error to pick up what you were throwing down.  Not a huge deal, though.  

I love those parallax layers back there, but it's easy to lose appreciation for them with the character being fast-paced like that.  This is not a negative, just something I noticed because I really like how the lighting effect was done in that background.

Regarding controls, just FYI, it didn't pick up my controller.  It's a typical Logitech USB Playstation II-style.  Keyboard was fine, I just mention this because the game explicitly mentioned controllers.

Only other thing is I noticed you don't have to press a jump button for each jump, holding it down will repeat the jump.  Pretty minor, just slightly counter-intuitive to me.

And my favorite facet of a game, to the point I think it would make a good category--atmosphere =D.  Awesome job there, 'nuff said!

Interesting implementation of the theme through the use of the scales. Solid art and good sound! My only nitpick would be that the scale/time mechanics were cool, but it wasn’t really required to use them in most places which led to me simply using the sword for most encounters. Great game, nice work!

I like your approach to pixel art. I thought the sword swing of the protagonist looked especially clean. The other characters were all distinct as well. I think you did well bringing your vision of this mystical forest to the screen.

It took me awhile to understand the mechanics behind the Scales. Some deliberately designed areas that teach exactly how they work in your game and forcing the players to use them there could help ease players into an unusual system. Not that there's anything wrong with an unusual system, it's at the heart of all innovation of course, I just think it needs to be taught with some consideration.

I think the combat needed a few more "Player Verbs" to feel complete. Some kind of dodge, roll, or block would've given me a better fighting chance with these grumpy forest denizens.

Thanks Canoparia! Keep on creating!

I think that this game has room for improvement, but it's a good submission for a gamejam. The idea behind it is really good!

The idea could be solid and you already know the problems so I won't state them again. For these mechanics to work as a game your fighting system must be very very good. Like "Dead Cells" good.

I am not sure but I think you also waste a lot of time on key bindings. It is good to give those options but only if they don't take much time like the unity new input system.

I had many problems with these big guys and could not finish the game if there was not any bug in the game :)

enjoyed game , but maybe the key bind for jump and attack little bit hard to me but overall i enjoyed :D

Enjoyed it quite a bit!  Animations were very well done.  Combat is quite difficult, I think some stun or knock back on the enemies might help.  Enjoyed the unique gameplay mechanics and balancing the damage taken.

I like the characters and the animations and the retro feel.

I felt like the dryad attack was a bit punishing. All of a sudden I died without knowing exactly why.

It's a great start. Just needs a bit of game-feel refinement.

This game was nice, had to get me to think about combat more than just spamming the attack key and running away. I will say that sometimes the abilities did not activate when I needed them and I just died, are they on a cooldown? The time stop ability worked most of the time but the damage reversal worked sometimes and sometimes it didn't.

this game is interesting but a little tricky. i think spreading out the introduction of new abilities so the player had time to master them before adding a new one would have been helpful. also i would have appreciated a bit of coyote time; i am so bad at platformers haha -- overall, i had a good time playing it and it looks and sounds great! 

A tricky control scheme that could work if it was a bit more polished.
As said in Discord you could block the players in the tutorial until they have shown mastery of what you are trying to teach them.

I tried speedrunning the game as you can ignore most enemies, but I kept falling into the pit ;P

Great job !

Nice walking animation and the paralex effect is working really.

The combat could be way more polished, though, because right now you just pretty much spam the attack button. And J is kind of an awkward key for an attack action. But I like this entry, one can see you have spent a lot of time on it!

Cool mechanic. I think it would be amazing if you put a parameter on the UI to show the availability of the scale.

Gives an oldschool Zelda vibe. I couldn't quite figure out what I was supposed to do with the hourglass :(
