The game is beautiful, especially the not-a-hero animation. The music fits the tone of the game very well, and adds something to the story.
The only problem I got with the game is the randomness that sometimes doesnt give you any chance, especially on the last part ; the hitbox of the big monster goes very high, but mostly, if they appear on the wrong side of the screen, you dont really have a chance !
I would have loved it if instead of shooting arrows non-stop, holding the click would have allowed us to charge the arrow and deal more damage (arrow would deal 2, but takes 1,5x the time needed for a simple arrow for example) ; it would have added a risk/reward mechanic, with arrows you absolutely don't want to miss.
Anyway, it was a great and immersive experience. Thank you for that !
Thanks for playing and for the review.
Indeed, the randomness is a problem, but it is doable, I hope you got to the ending screen!
Very nice idea with the charging, I’ll keep that in mind.
Oh don't worry, I had to try 2 or 3 times but I wasn't gonna let the game beat me, I did get to the ending screen !
