Awesome game! The art is impressive and the music goes well with it. This game has a good learning curve and the instructions are clear to the player which makes the mechanics easy to understand. The gameplay is appropriate with the theme. This has good replay value. Overall I enjoyed playing this game, congratulations! keep it up!
Thanks for the extensive feedback, we are glad that you've enjoyed it <3
I thought the dash was also going to be building little platforms for my archdruid. Then it would have had three functions! Just an idea. Overall enjoyable to play! Defend the forest!
Hehe, we actually thought about it during development but decided to stick with only one mechanic, thanks for the comment <3 Defend the Khukhas!
Good game. I've liked the story and the combat mechanic. Congrats!
Thanks a lot <3
Nice game. Dash mechanics sounds cool but the should be more playable with aa gamepad, I had hard times with my keyboard. Some of the arts sounds AI generated and does not fit the artistic direction of the game so it looses in consistency, Am I wrong ?
Yeap) We only had pixel artists, so all other art is generated. We should use all technologies to make the game) Thanks for the comment <3
great game! love the story and looks amazing! khukhas are cuties:3
They are <3
I didn't get to the second level- but I had fun playing! the dash mechanic was nice, and the scale of the characters on the screen was perfect for this kind of game, well done!
Thanks for a nice feedback <3 Pitty that you didn't try the second level, I personally like it's "threes on fire" mechanic)
Wow, creative combat mechanic and super pretty art! I enjoy the story and setting, too. Awesome work!
Thank you! Also, congratulations on your submission! had tons of fun with it especially trying to climb the leaderboards xD
Well done :) I'm terrible at it, but I like the mechanics. Would be nice if it saved between enemy waves. Also would be nice if there was more obvious feedback when getting hurt by your own gas - having that disabled in the tutorial was a little confusing.
Ahahahha yeah, it's a bit hard) We thought about saves for easy mode after the game jam submission, but agree it would be nice to add for some users) About hurt indicator, we wanted to add a camera effect after each hit, but there was no time for it. Agree with all your points <3
all good. Excited to see where you go from here :)
if you looking for camera shake, dotween (free on the asset store) has a good and easy-to-use shake that i've used a bunch
Wow! This was very very cool! I didn't make it very far, but I love the art, the dialogue, the world building, and the mechanics. Felt unique and fun!
Thanks! It does have a bit of a difficulty curve haha but we're glad you had fun :D
Love the game! The sound and music are nice and matches the theme. I also enjoyed the graphics and gameplay. I made it through several waves!! Also like the Bestiary card/info you provide. Thanks for sharing and congrats on completing the GameJam!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and congratulations as well for completing this game jam!
awesome game! I don't have the perfect keyboard setup for the controls unfortunately but still managed to play it kinda fine. Have to try it again with a proper keyboard tomorrow :D
Thanks! It takes some getting used to if you use wasd more but you'll get the hang of it ;)
Cool game, the art is great well done!
Thanks a lot :)
Nice game.
Nice game.
Nice game.
Thanks!
The theme and mechanics are very cool. I very much liked the bestiary as well, very charming. I personally would have preferred WASD for movement, Space for jump, and Shift for Dash, but there's nothing wrong with the presented keyboard controls either.
The text is all dots for me, which I took to be a quirky "He is a primordial being that speaks languages we don't comprehend and also likes to hum a lot" but the preview images show dialogue in those spots. I was particularly confused when the game over screen had only dots for text lol. I see that others have had this problem on certain browsers, so I can confirm this problem can occur on Chrome.
Overall, even with the browser text bug, I'll be rating this one pretty highly, great stuff.
Thanks for the interesting review!
Honestly, that's not a bad interpretation haha, I wish we had thought of something like that for our story! Unfortunately, that is a bug with the Webgl version of the game when played on certain browsers. So if you're interested in reading the dialogue you can check it out in a different browser maybe! :D
This is a really nice game! I enjoyed the dash mechanic to destroy the enemies in poison gas. I had to switch browsers because for some reason the dialog was only showing punctuation when I ran the game in Opera, but it looked fine on Edge. Thank you!
I'm glad you've tried a different browser and left a nice review. Thanks <3
Controlls actually feel responsive, i like that. As others have already mentioned, if you go into the poisonous cloud left by the dash, character starts playing one animation forever, so you really ned to fix that. Bugfixes, thank god, are allowed after the fact.
It should be fixed now, thanks for your comment <3
Good to know!
Excellent interpretation of the theme, unfortunately I encountered a bug where the character would change shape in a loop without allowing you to move or do anything.
Overall I enjoyed the art the sounds and the story.
Nice work
Hello friend) We're currently trying to fix the issue with displaying dialogues/ UI. On some web browsers fonts are not working correctly that's why it freezes the game(
The bug with the trail should be fixed! Thanks <3
reaaalllly epic!
Thanks for your comment, appreciated <3
