Wow, the art really stood out to me in this game! It was a fun playthrough.

I like to give everyone a bit of constructive feedback. For your game: I noticed the countdown timer went below 0 before I won. Also IMO the candles shouldn't be able to shoot you when you can't see them onscreen.

Thanks for sharing your game!

Nice work. Great art. Great sound. Smooth gameplay.

Like someone else said, I wasn't sure if I won, or what the gold was for, or if I was supposed to shoot them all, or just wait out the clock. Maybe a quick indication of the goal at the start of the game.

Nice work though. Very playable and enjoyable.

Thanks for the feedback, friend!
Many ideas had to be simply discarded due to the deadline, but we tried to make a playable prototype.

This was our first work, both jointly and individually.
Besides the artist, he is the dark lord of pixels!

The sprites were really neat! The big candle creature was especially unique and I would've loved to see that expanded on with weird candle creatures! :)

Enjoyed the game. Here are my notes from playing:

  • Liked the art work
  • I wasn't sure what my objective was. Is it collecting more gold, and killing all the things before the time runs out, or is it just the first wave?
  • The enemy range is way too far. I had some enemies shooting me even though I couldn't see them on the screen
  • Would add polish when the boss spawns. Sound, or screen flashing, or font on the screen.
  • Not sure if I won, I got to -1 time and the game took me to the menu

Very impressive for your first game and nice to see you were able to submit something. I'm sure you would have added more with more time.

thank you for your feedback and your time ! it's a pleasure !

We had some difficulties with the division of responsibilities and communication between team members. And due to this there was not enough time to solve fundamental tasks :)

The most astonishing game here, it looked sooo good! It's sad that you didn't manage to fully finished the game, but in the current state, the game looks very good. Really excited to see how the game would look like if you had more time for it.
