The graphics works well and I like the speedy movement / jumping, although I would have liked more checkpoints! Here's a video of my attempt at timestamp 2:15:00
Thank you! There is a checkpoint in the forest scene but I think you missed it because it might have blended too well with the forest elements.
Wow the jump and move ment are really fast here ! It was hard to get used to in the begining but it kinda fits the game. You choose nice assets, it looked very well especially in intro cutscenne. I felt strange with camera work when you change the direction, i think its worth to consider if you maybe change the speed of camera change or put character in center verticaly;) Anyway good entry
Thank you! I will look into the camera movement and player controls.
Movements are super tight and precise, which feels right in the context of this game, kind of felt like a de-rezzed Hollow Knight style game.
One thing I don't like is how many friendly creatures this game has as enemies, I almost just want to stroll through the forest with the woodland friends haha!
If you keep working on this please let me know, would love to see how this feels with sound added!
Thank you so much! I’m still considering if I should continue this game in Unity…
Very nice! You've done a good job sourcing some really nice art here, although the pixel sizes are a bit all over the place. And something about the combat feels pretty good to me; maybe even some of my favorite combat mechanics I've seen so far in the jam, to be honest.
The movement is kind of insane. Starting to run, switching directions, and jumping all seem to take you from 0 to 1000 in the blink of an eye, which might also be why the camera movements are sometimes sort of jerky. Definitely a bit disorienting, although I do really like how gigantic your jump is; there's something super fun about that.
Overall, however, it's pretty fun! I'd be interested in seeing what you do with it!
(Although I really didn't want to kill the bunnies... I didn't even know they were enemies at first, haha.)
Thank you so much! Your feedback is much appreciated! It wasn’t easy to source for suitable art assets, much less with the same pixel size. But depending on how the situation with Unity goes, I might have to continue this game in another engine.
PS: If you don’t want to kill the bunnies, you can jump over them lol
I was captivated by the forest life graphics. Meeting my end at the hands (or wings) of a butterfly is a moment I won't forget anytime soon! The combat mechanics were both smooth and responsive. Kudos on a fantastic submission!
Thank you so much! I wish I had more time to work on this game to reveal how things are not what they seem (and the butterfly was not actually a butterfly lol).
Entry cutsence looks great, like it so much. The idea of getting abiblies after beating bosses is also cool. Have some issues with camera. Would like to see your game further progress!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
lovely art, the character controller feels like its on drugs, lol. Good work, keep it up
Thanks! I hope that was a compliment for the character’s controls 😆
lol no, rn it feels very clunky but great game overall
