Ranked from 28 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The player can fight enemies and traverse the level with an enchanted hammer that was literally built to scale. It gets the job done, even against scaled-up giant cats.

Development Time

96 hours

(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used
We used many Unity tools like TextAnimator by Febucci and Odin by Sirenix, which we highly reccomend. Everything else was made within the jam timeframe by us.

Nice art style, whenever I slipped off the edge though I fell forever!

Finnicky jumps but easily the most interesting world I've seen in this jam so far

Thanks for your feedback, and wow! Thanks for taking interest in our worldbuilding :D Would you like to explain a little more what made the jump finnicky for you? We’ll surely use your feedback to make it better in the next update :)

IhooldSubmitted121 days ago(+1)

I like the dark, gothic vibe of the art style. The movement was a little bit finicky to me. Good job overall!

RequieemDeveloper121 days ago

Thanks for your feedback :D Glad you liked it

Good mechanics and sound design! I did find a bug that when I fell to my death near the beginning, it was an endless fall and no do over, had to restart manually to continue

This needs to be longer! Really enjoyed playing it and can't wait for this to get further updates and continue playing. I especially liked the mice dialogs lol

I couldn't really figure out how to go forward but I still really liked the ambiance and execution of the game. Good job!

Submitted

RequieemDeveloper123 days ago

Unfortunately a big chunk of the game is missing, but we're glad you liked it! We will most surely post an update after the voting period is over :)

LemonL1keSubmitted123 days ago(+3)

I feel the game isn't complete, as I couldn't find where to go further. I was trying to jump downwards, which only led to me continuing to fall. But the art of the game is good, and the dark vibe is well presented.

Submitted

RequieemDeveloper123 days ago

Yes unfortunaltely we weren't able to make the last update on time (been awake for 40+ hrs, kind of thinking slow ahah). I'm glad you liked the art, and thanks for your feedback!

Metaphor7092Developer122 days ago (1 edit)

Thanks for playing!!

I liked the theme of the dark ambiance.

I got stuck at the magic circle. I don't know where to go from there.

I had to reset the game a few time because I tried to hit the magic circle and was falling.

Submitted

RequieemDeveloper123 days ago(+1)

If you're talking about the one suspended between two platforms you should click rmb or right shoulder to place an enlarged hammer there! Thanks for your feedback on the ambience, much appreciated!

nrodriguezSubmitted122 days ago(+1)

Thanks! I was able to get to the cat and win the fight!

Metaphor7092Developer122 days ago

Thanks for playing !!!

It's a shame that you couldn't update the game in time in the end, I can see how the gameplay ended up a little janky, but the art looks cool and the ideas are there! I'll keep an eye out for the updated version of this :)

Submitted

SNAKE but now it's a story of survival and motherhood in a post-apocalyptic world

RequieemDeveloper123 days ago

Thanks we'll make sure to put it out as soon as the voting period is closed. We're very happy you liked the art, as Metaphor has never done pixel art before and it was a big challenge for him!

NCraftersSubmitted123 days ago(+1)

The combat was a bit difficult to get the hang of (I think due to lack of notable damage feedback?), but I really like the hammer mechanic itself!

Submitted

RequieemDeveloper123 days ago

It was tricky to get it right and it still is a bit clunky, but I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your feedback!

IAMSTSubmitted123 days ago(+1)

loved it! you do have to avoid the cliffs though, or you will have to restart

Submitted

RequieemDeveloper123 days ago

Thanks for your feedback! I loved that you loved it :D
