holy! loving the art! and the production value of this game is that of a released game! nice

Submitted(+2)

Art is amazing so the rest of the game! However stamina system despite being smart was also kinda annoying, focusing 4 bars and overall action was tough

Submitted(+2)

Really great game :D usage of ctrl was a bit problematic but I love the idea of interchangeable characters :D I think I got a small bug - at the begging while archer was on I could move faster (which have a lot of sense - brawler seems stronger so he can run faster with archer on back) but after few levels and some quick changing for some reason it started to work in exact opposite way. I had extremely fast brawler and slow archer :D

Haha anything can happen I guess :P.. not sure what might have caused that!

The game is pretty fun and challenging! I really liked the polish in this!

Submitted(+2)

very clever but it's the controls are a bit difficult to play, so I didn't make it to far, but it's great for 48h, well done! Can you also play my game so I can get feedbacks please!

Submitted(+2)

omg this is pretty fun! great art too! i think you could add some indication that the stamina or strength is running low? and also i accidentally close my tab when i was using ctrl to attack opps 

Developer(+1)

Yes using CRTL was a mistake... but cant change that now :P (you can play with a controller though!). The stamina running low is indicated with a switch icon in the bottom right... but that might not be super clear.. we wanted to add more animations for it but time ran out!

Really neat take on the theme! The gameplay is very fun and the art is stunning. Great job creating all of that in 48 hours!

Submitted(+2)

That was nice! Cant even find any roughness in the game. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!

Submitted(+2)

Big fan of your youtube channel! ( would love to hear what the failed idea was :D)

- Love the implementation of the theme

- Great art

- same issues as mentioned below ( UI bars cumbersome to keep track of, browser commands overlapping with WASD + ctr input)

Developer(+1)

Thanks nugget! We we're toying with the idea of a diorama style city management game where you could toy with world parameters (with many knobs) to try and make a hero rise.. still like the idea but in 48 hours... nah

I really like this take on the theme, and the game was a blast! I did have a couple issues.

  • On keyboard I kept accidentally bookmarking the page and closing the tab because the controls happened to match with key binds in my browser. I did switch to controller and I had no issues there.
  • I also think that the game could've been presented a little better. It wasn't super clear at first that some enemies can't be hit by one of the characters. And it felt very clunky having to look up at the top of my screen to see my stats.

Thanks for the feedback!

Really nice way to use the theme! Loved the graphics and music as well.

Submitted(+2)

This is a very elegant design, and you found very creative ways to play with it! Bravo! My only issue, is that it's hard to keep an eye on the different meters up top, so i'd prefer if they were close to the characters on screen, and perhaps a bit more differentiated. I certainly found that bit frustrating.


But for 48 hours? Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Movement speed is quite slow, however graphics look nice. Sometimes I end up confused in the middle of fight.

Developer(+1)

Don't forget to reverse roles often! Speed gets slower and slower over time when you don't switch!

Submitted(+1)

I had the same issue with CTRL + W closing the tab, fortunately arrow keys are fine so I was able to play and what's here is really good, amazing visuals and a really great swap mechanic, I like how both characters effect stamina/strength of each other

Developer(+1)

Yeah heard that before... if you not properly focused the browser does that... stupid oversight on our side!! BTW it also has full controller support!

Submitted(+1)

I ran into some issues with full screen for my own game in during the jam, whenever I went full screen the players eyes on the main menu would disappear lol 

Submitted(+2)

Really nice looking art, and love the duel character setup, but I had an issue with controls when using CTRL to attack while moving, as CTRL+W closes the tab in the browser.

Developer

Oh noes! Thanks for playing anyway!

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! Looks great and is well executed :)

Personally had zero issue with the controls, being able to just play with my left hand was actually good!

Developer

Awesome!

I really like the art and sound, the switching of the characters is really cool but the controls are quite hard for me. Nice game :3

Developer

Thanks for playing it and checking it out!

Submitted

This game is good-looking! I enjoyed the visuals and the switching of the characters. Only downside is the controls which is really slow. Great work overall!

Developer

Thanks! Roy is an amazing pixel artist indeed!

Submitted

Its so hard for me to play, but at the same time it so fun! I especially like how you understood the jem's theme, you just literally added a role-changing feature! Brilliant

Developer

Thanks! We had a lot of ideas but this one felt the best :D

Submitted

I love the Idea, but the controls could be improved cause its very confusing at times.

Developer

Thanks for checking it out anyway! Tweaking and making things perfect is always hard in 48 hours right!
