Its a fun game although controls are a bit frustrating. I loved the graphics, good job. the level design is good, and the hard controls make it like a puzzle game in which i have to find the safe path

overall, Great job :D

feel free to check out my game

Developer

Good game! I like how the movement synced up with the music and made it almost a rhythm game. Short and simple :). Although I'm not catching what ties into the theme of duality. Could it be that the game is a rhythm game as well as dungeon crawler? Either way I enjoyed your game.

A fine experience where the story was integrated nicely with the mechanics! I can sympathise with the comments on how brutal it can be to move slow and be forced to return to the start, but it also relates this dream like world.

Well done! The whole dream/nightmare theme was enhanced with the music and animated visuals.

Thank you so much for taking the time ! It's really appreciated

Hum this is a harder one than other games i tested so far.

I really like the idea. And i had fun finishing the lvls but :

- its too short for sure

- the movement are super anoying (this little gap before you can move again)... hyper frustrating

- the visuals could be a bit nicer

- I didn't pick the duality theme ?

Hey thanks for taking the time ! The whole reasoning behind the movement mechanics is to make it involved with the music as much as impactful as possible. If you noticed, each movement creates the a sound that incorporates with background music. I could see the possibility that we would need to refine the mechanics with no doubt, but I believe the dream like mechanics work with the game's statement as a whole. Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate it :)

Dislike

  • Tile-based movement when everything else is not tile-based moving, also it starts fast and gets really slow before you can move again

Thank you for taking the time ! Cheers !

Never really expected a slow, tile-based bullet hell to work so well but this was surprisingly relaxing to play. Especially loved the music playing along when you moved, and definitely loved that even if you got hit (which I did a lot ) progress wasn't completely reset.
