I couldn't open it at browser
It doesn't work for me either on Firefox (all unity games don't work for me), you might want to try a different browser
I could not experience this game at its full potential because of gpu limitations, but this is pretty cool. The environments and effects are gorgeous, and on top of that the gameplay is fantastic. It is incredibly satisfying to hit an attack right after a parry. I need to upgrade my gpu for sure. Great work!
Welp, it's a yollie's game, we're all cooked 😔 lol jokes aside, this really shows the power of juice in a game. Literally. One might look at it and say yeah it has great polish & simple but under the hood it does so many things to make it look simple & effortless. And what can I even say about the VFX, yollie you wizard. Love the artstyle too. Great great fun and you lose time when you catch the rhythm. I do wish the UI was less 3D red blue as that was hard on my eyes but maybe that's just me. The batman arkham games style combat is nicely captured (which is a great choice of combat) but there are moments where it breaks the flow as there might be a cooldown possibly? Overall, great jam entry!
Okay, I finally got a chance to play on a proper computer so I was able to give this a solid playthrough.
Lots of fun as expected, it still blows my mind the level of quality on this game.
I do have a couple pieces of feedback on gameplay:
Really amazing entry. I think if you put a little more work into this, I could easily see myself buying it on steam for a couple bucks or even more!
The game looks stunning,
Love the gameplay, it's very action packed.
Should perform better as a downloadable rather than a web build.
A very polished game, but very, very hard to grasp what is going on! Without a good tutorial or a good page description it took me too long to understand how it works, and even then I didn't really enjoy it a lot :/ It didn't help that even in low graphics settings I got a bit of lag (i have a weak laptop lol).
Absolutely incredible visual effects, and the music is amazing as well!
Unfortunately the frame rate is still quite rough for me even with all settings set to optimize for performance.
I hope to give this another try once I get back on my regular PC with better specs later this weekend, looking forward to it!
Very Nice! Great Job!
Very beautiful entry! The VFX were very impressive although maybe a bit too much during gameplay. I turned down all the settings but there were too many flying colorful bits that made it hard to see what was going on sometimes.
When you attack one enemy its fine, but when you are surrounded by multiple enemies and parrying and dodging it gets hard to tell whats happening. I found myself having a good time early in the game but then quickly struggling to keep up due to the sharp difficulty curve. Once the hammer guys appear its basically over. The timing to parry their attacks is very difficult and their spin attack is deceptive because unlike the other enemies, it damages you without the red indicator on the ground (as they’re spinning). While trying to focus on the timing of the hammer guys I usually just get shot by a ranged enemy from far away, or I die to the spin mistaking it for the normal hammer attack.
Maybe adding some low cover to the environment would help and add strategy as you could lead enemies away from the open when there are too many ranged attackers. The cover could even be temporary like shooting stars or something that randomly land on the ground and break from attacks.
The music, UI, and overall presentation was exceptional and I especially liked the Kingdom Hearts style meter.
The visuals are really beautiful gorgeous! It took me a while to realize there was an option to lower the graphics to run better. I was playing with everything lagging, 😂
Bro need I even tell you, this is an amazing entry. Font chosen is a little messy to the eye as far as actually seeing what my high score was - but the whole vibe of the game feels really good. Super satisfying when you get that parry off on the ground-pounds.
This is really well done! great use of VFX. Nice Job!
Good Graphics, Good Sound, Well Done Guys!
Visuals are awesome. Artstyle is eyecatching. Smooth gameplay. Loved it!
Wow super great visual effects. I had a little bit of difficulty at first understanding how to defeat the cube guys that slam the ground. I was able to eventually kill them and keep progressing to harder and harder guys, but I think there is some mechanic in there that I didnt fully understand.
Great score chasing concept!
You press RMB to parry! You can also press space while standing still, but parrying some attacks instantly force an opening on the opponent
Ah, ok that makes sense. I saw the tooltip for RMB, but it didn’t feel like it always worked, but likely I just wasn’t timing it correctly as I didn’t understand it was a parry move. Thanks for the info and great job again on the game.
I really liked the visual effects, and some enemies have different mechanics for defeating them, but I have two points that could be changed in the game that would help it improve:
1 - Focus on performance. It was causing lags during gameplay.
2 - Reduce the blur even more. Over time, it hurts your vision a little.
I believe that this will help the game to get better and better.
we thought of this! Go to the menu, turn off motion blur and turn on low quality mode
Great looking game!
Great game
I like the part where I get to punch a head
Fun game, gj to everyone involved!
