Nice art, kinda buggy and janky hitboxes and awesome visuals.
It was fun and the art was really good! I had a good time playing this one! :D
please check out my game to
really good game love the story and the art good job
very great game, i liked the art and design, good experience
Love the art in this! Though the gameplay felt a bit too intense all the time. You had this lovely world and map that the player barely gets to explore because they have to race to the statue and then stay there to protect it. Also would have been cool to see you use the shield to reflect light and deal constant damage rather than spam the fire button, and I couldn't get the hang of the melee attack without getting knocked out.
But there are a lot of things great with this entry, the design of the characters and the art, sfx and music ties very well together, and there is a nice base with the gameplay that shows a lot of potential. If you manage to find a good balance with the pacing then you could have something great here. Good work team!
Cool game! The art style and the color palette are really enjoyable. It took ma second to figure out what I had to do though. I think it might have been easier to catch if you spawned closer to the statue/tree
Art styles fantastic, really pleasing. Gameplay was fun too, nice work
Nice graphics! The lighting effect looks good :) Shield bash anim really nice and good character design and anims too. Couldn't figure out why I died when what seemed like hitting invisible walls, was confused about how to play until I found the center statue you have to defend then it all clicked! Might have been easier to understand if the player spawns there. UI and color scheme are top tier 8)
Thank you so much! Yes, we discussed about that but we felt like it was nice to explore a bit around the map before you find the tower and get to the action, but it is a good point! Maybe with a little bit more polishing we could make it so its easier to understand. Thanks a lot for playing and glad that you liked it!
I love the art style you used! Your concept using the prompts was really well done as well! The gameplay feels nice and smooth! Overall a super fun game!
Thank you!! :D
