A very cool game. I loved the fire particles and the shaders you used. combat was a little off. but I enjoyed anyway. I could get ahead of the robots. whatever I did, just kept dying to them. looked like they were respawning. Great Job man
Very nice! I like it
This game is my JAM! I love anything first person medieval combat focused, and I had a lot of fun with this. Also it is such a unique concept! I would love to see this project developed a bit more. If I may make some suggestions, I would love to see the controls tightened a tad bit and also (just a small thing), the sound effect you used to indicate that you hit an enemy is a sound I associated with a blocked attack, so at first I was confused if my attacks were going through or not. I could see this game being a super fast paced Quake-esque game but with swords. Definitely one of my favorite games from this jam. Nice job!
Oh, thanks for the feedback. I am extremely pleased to hear this. I will try to take into account all the wishes about the game and improve it as much as possible. Have a nice day! :)
It's like the Doom music kicked in! Wild.
Nice! I love the music change after you beat the big guy with the axe. Also the height my guy was jumping he should be in the Olympics. Fun!
That was a cool little surprise at the beginning and I thought the matrix-y walls made for a crazy exciting energy alongside the music and enemy designs. Something was really hurting my laptop through. Wish I could play on my main desktop, but I had to pack that away. So yeah, got some crazy choppiness after a while. Still had a good time while I could.!
Reminds me of quake 1 one of my favorite games ever. Good Job!
I wasn't quite sure what to do but otherwise it was fun to play. For the most part I just ran past everything. The combat was a bit weird to get used to.
Quite a lot going on here - but I enjoyed it for what it was. Could have some more touches of enemy telegraph and cooldown though. :)
You guys took on a big challenge. This game has a lot going for the timeframe. The hit animation reacts very fast, which is good. Movement was alright a bit clunky.
The bottom info for the keys show a lot of "???" Either you want the user to guess what it does or it does not do anything. If latter then just dont show the "???" at all. Blocking would be a nice addition. Some hurt visuals.
A very unique game!
The athmosphere is cool, it remember me a Matrix movie (the 2nd) blended with a souls :P. Nice job! ^_^
Quite hard imo. Something weird happened when I jumped: I was standing on the enemies. They couldn't hit me and I couldn't hit them.
Hi! Thank you for your feedback! I will take into account your wishes and will improve the game in the future. Have a nice day :)
Nice game, a little bit to hard for me but i suck on these type of games. Liked the music and game feel alot!
Very good game I liked the visuals and the mechanics are so good good job :)
Fun game - the boss is brutal haha, liked the fact that it was proc gen and had to find cool moves. the plate throwing was hilarious <3 Mouse sensitivity was ok for me, but I have a high DPI mouse.
The music was great and I also liked the scifi vibe, when I first started I was confused about the hacker stuff :D:D
Potential improvements:
I got unlucky a few runs with no dodge, but overall good fun.
Well done and good luck :)
Hi! Thank you for playing and the feedback! I will definitely take into account all your wishes. By the way, an update will be released tomorrow that fixes some bugs and makes the game easier. Have a nice day :)
I will look out for that <3
Although, I think the update will be released today, because I finished it!! I need to write to a friend
Hi! We have released an update!
Hmm, bosses plates are almost one shotting me :O
also I like this:
Can't kill what you can't hit :D
These are Easter eggs for the resourceful :) We can reduce the height of the jump
I'm not sure if it was just me, but when I went to turn the character to face in the right direction, it wasn't reading my mouse and I've been playing games fine all morning with it, so I'm not sure what happened but it made the game unfortunately unplayable. However, I liked the looks of it and I look forward to playing it when I can, I will check back in the future.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback! Try going to the settings menu in the main menu and increase the sensitivity. Good luck )
Oh ok!! Will do! Thank you. I was sad I couldn't give it a proper playthrough. I'll go back now and play with the settings.
If it didn't help, write here again, I'll try to fix it.
Adding a setting for the sensitivity was a nice touch. Would love to be able to see the boss healthbar.
Hello! Thanks for playing! Thank you for your recommendations, in the future we will definitely add a boss health bar
It reminded me of classic Quake for some reason, and I am all for it.
got some issues with mouse sensibility, I currently have a controller plugged in maybe something to do with that?
Great work tho.
I don't believe it is caused by a controller, it is very low by default. Actually you can adjust mouse sensitivity in options. I made an update that renames options to "mouse sensitivity". There is also a neat option to test it before launch). Thank you for playing!
Hello. Thanks for your feedback. You can change sensitivity in the Settings )
came back and played a bit more, nice twist after the boos fight and great music.
I'm very glad that you like it :)
That was tough, like a classic Souls game. I was playing on a laptop with a touchpad and the ‘mouse’ sensitivity is very low. I could only run in circles to dodge or retreat. I reached the boss but, of course, ~~DIED~~. Great game!
Hello. Thanks for the feedback. You can change sensitivity in the Settings. Good luck :)
Thank you for playing! Mouse sensitivity is really low by default but can be adjusted in the options. After your review I tried to make this information more obvious. We really appreciate your review!
I loved the theme and the music was top notch... good luck with the jam :)
