Loved the soundtrack
Great game! I love Zelda & this game does it justice. Challenging gameplay, ability unlocks, great music & excellent GB style sprites.
This is a great game. Really cool art and very well designed levels. I found the movement a bit slippery (not sure if that was just meant to be low gravity though). But all around this is a really great game
Good little dungeon crawler! Combat is simple but satisfying and the dungeons are well designed for the time available for the Jam. Good work!
Top 10 in the jam for sure.
Cool game. I could see myself playing a lot more of this. I'm tempted to agree with the comments, I think some snappier movement might help. Great job with the pixel art too!
Love this! I could see myself playing a full length version!
I see below from other commenters that the inertia on the player character is divisive. I also didn't really care for it.
Very evocative of the game boy Legend of Zeldas, super nostalgic to play. Lots of "gameboy soul" here for sure, other than the font used for text. Changing that to something more pixel gameboy-ish would help a lot to make it more cohesive, as it is it kind of sticks out because the rest of it does such a good job being authentic.
I think I found a bug. I went from the "secret station" to the bottom center planet and shortly after landing had this text at the bottom of the screen and couldn't get rid of it.
Thanks for such a detailed review. Apologies for that silly bug 🙈
All good! My game has bugs I didn't have time to iron out as well :)
The character inertia felt very weird at first, but I kinda got used to it.
Level design was great, places are distinct enough to navigate without needing a map (a map screen would be great though). Good work!
All elements of the gameplay and feel are very solid. The character inertia has pros and cons, but I like it personally!
I ended up playing it twice, because whatever weapon you pick up replaces your old one, so I thought I was softlocked when I couldn't defeat that one enemy in the top world you need the gun for... Turned out it was just hiding a bigger gun and I'd somehow missed the roll powerup entirely.
It's a really good game! Good graphics and music, with a nice variety of power-ups and weapons and little sprite details. The player was a bit too floaty for my taste, causing me to bump into doorframes and such, but otherwise it seemed to play well.
However, I found a possibly game-breaking bug where if you go through a door that was previously locked, it unlocks the door again and you lose a key. I was so worried the final artifact would be behind a locked door because I died on the buzzsaw room and lost my only key going back. (Thankfully, that wasn't the case.)
So overall, great job!
Thanks for reporting that issue. Definitely something that can break the game experience and has to be fixed. I’m glad you had a good time playing it, the issue didn’t spoil the fun.
Really loved the vibes this gave off, cute art and design!
I always enjoy zelda vibes! This one mostly reminds me of Anodyne!
It's a solid game! Good job!
Really fun!! I enjoyed playing it and the 'learning experiences' made me laugh. Only problem was the sun dialog. I loved the roll powerup. (:
Apologise for that silly bug. Thanks a lot for reporting it, it has to be fixed asap!
This one impressed me. Really old school gameboyish game. Good amount of features and a simple/fun gameplay. Congratulations! I think i found a bug, I don't know exactly how but the sun dialog keeps showing on my screen.
Nice catch! Thank for your feedback.
loved this game! really has a gameboy vibe
I really enjoyed this! Loved all the Link's Awakening vibes!
Overall game flow is impressive! Loved the transitions between planets :D
Really great job!
Overall the music and visual style was really nice, the controls felt a little bit floaty for my liking but overall you should be proud of this entry it's a very cohesive project!
You did a great job on this, I like that it was decently challenging fighting the enemies and great dungeon building.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.
