I really liked the aesthetic you created, and I think the mix the art style and setting work super well together. I particularly liked the character models. I think the game might be a bit difficult, as I couldn't make it past the first level, but that might just be because I suck

Developer

Glad you liked it, most players found the game difficult. I will work on improvements to be able to be a little more fluid. Come check it out later. Thanks for playing!  :D

I can see you put a lot of effort into this game . love the intro and  the overall look and feel of the game is well presented. the sound effects and music and well done. The only comment is the game is unforgiving  but that might be just down to lack of practice ;-)  Well done

Developer

I'm very happy to know that you enjoyed playing! Thank you so!
I will make some adjustments and hope that you will come to play again later.  :D

Gotta say, that opening scene was well done. I did have problems with the first level, which is it didn't explain the fog below rises up and kills you. I was pretty confused to why I was dying and simply blamed the poor scorpion(_he didn't deserve the hate_). Also there's a bug where if you jump to the side of a block, your player sticks to it(I'm not sure if this is a feature, but the movement felt weird). Also, I have a problem that the enemies can kill you when the time stops. It was pretty annoying because sometimes when the there's only 3 blocks of space and the scorpion(maybe the hate is deserved) stands on the middle, you wont be able to pass through  cause of how thicc that boii is.

Other than these reasons, I found the game to be very fun. The art work and the audio was really good.

A suggestion, just for the memes, I would sell a Sakura skin for 0 cause of how worthless she is.

I hadn't thought about not killing the player when the time stopped. I have noted your observations and will implement these improvements, if you wanna come later and try this new feature, be my guest. Thank you for playing and for the feedback. :D

The submission was very enjoyable, I had a bit difficult with the jumping time and seemed a bit unresponsive sometimes, but that could also be that I sucks in that type of genre.

I liked the initial kinematics and story that is not common in a game jam game, and you had done a lot of levels and buyable characters, so there is a great work behind.

Very good work!

Developer

Glad you played until the end! I'm really happy to know that you enjoyed playing our game!  

Thanks for telling us what you think!

Just from the character designs(Naruto and the Jerusalem Crusader), I really want to try this game. Hope you can release a mac build.

Developer

I will be working on it soon my friend. Thanks for your feed back! :D

Developer

Try to play now, it's a MAC version.

Quite a challenging game, the jumping was so unforgiving :D I liked the whole look of the game and the music was picked perfectly.  Great work!

Developer

Thanks man! I am very happy with your return, good to know that we did a good job! :D

It felt really cool stopping time, especially with the color change. The music had me nodding along and the visuals have a unique charm to them. I definitely fell a lot, so that's some challenging gameplay there haha. Good job!

Developer(+1)

It really has a certain difficulty and if you don't get the right time to stop time, you end up missing hehe

I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you very much for your feedback! :D

I liked it! Nice visuals, great models, cool unlockables (I genuinely chuckled when I saw Naruto) and great choice in finding the right sounds and music. Finding what suits your project needs is not always a given when you scour on freesound.org. Kudos to the team

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! The naruto was a case of easter egg, because in the story, Tomas is dreaming, I had the idea to put other characters, because in the dream you can be anything you want, hehe. And I'm a Naruto fan haha

Thanks Kitarraman! :D

I really enjoyed playing, even though I fell to my death more times than I counted. Animations and models look great. UI is clean, and music is very ambient, love it! I really enjoy the prospect of unlocking a new player model with in-game currency. Really nice touches.

Developer

We are very happy with your comment! Thank you for taking the time to rate us!
