Wow you absolutely crushed it with the visuals. Impressive work. I would totally play this again!
I'm sorry but this game is really buggy! it happens in the battle. i cant kill the last enemy, my attack wont work. and somehow invisible walls appear in the field in battle. i have restarted 2 times and every time this happens in another battle.
the graphics and the music is great but i'm not really a fan of the game play.
i wish i could play it to the end. but i've already spent too much time restarting the game.
Best wishes, and hope you fix the bug later after the jam
Thanks for your feedbacks! I'm really sorry you had this bad experience.
I changed the combat system a bit late in the jam and had not the time to fix all the bugs. Now that people mentioned it I should have definitely added a restart button to ensure a better experience.
I think my scope was too big :) Next time i'll make sure to have enough time to properly playtest and bugfix!
Blown away by the sheer amount of content here, considering the attention to detail!
Besides a few bugs and exploit's here and there. This was great!
For instance, boss can be easily defeated by going to the shiny door at the top of the level where he can't jump on you and then you have more than plenty of hp to just spam attack and win!
The level of polish for a jam is insane - well done guys! Great gameplay, sound, art and setting. Loved playing this - showed me a lot of things I could have done better for my own game.
I like the visuals and audio. Its higher quality then I expect for a jam. But I had to restart 2 times because of bugs.
At first one, an enemy stuck inside me and follow me everywhere. When I move on single directin I managed to make same distance. But when I hit, it takes no damage. Enemy cant deal damage too but anmiation plays.
In second one, after killing the boss I entered the bottom-right door which leads to complete darkness(brown you used in game). There wasnt even character and nothing works so I had to restart again.
Also, not game breaking, but Jack can give infinite money.
(I understand that its hard to properly debug a complex game like this during game jam, but at least having a way of loading last checkpoint would be nice. Like holding down select.)
Thanks a lot for your comment and for playing up to the boss.
You are totally right I should have made a restart buttons.
I'm terrible at Necrodancer.
But, this game has some real soul, the music's quite nice and the graphics are real clean.
Goodluck with the jam, I'm sure you'll do great.
Amazing game! Great concept, pixel art and music are on point! Very good job!
