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:

  • Enemies don't telegraph enough
  • More feedback
  • Time to react to the plates of death :D

I got unlucky a few runs with no dodge, but overall good fun.

Well done and good luck :)

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.

Developer

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. 

Developer(+1)

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.

Developer

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!

Developer

Hello. Thanks for the feedback. You can change sensitivity in the Settings. Good luck :)

Developer

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 :)
