Hello!

I was a nice game all around, congratulations. It is ambitious, it was solid, and as other said, it just need polish in some key aspects to improve it greatly. Keep the good work!

Try to find the sequence break in our game :D

Hope this helps!

Seeing an emergent studio tackling such a challenging first project is always inspiring!

The platforming aspect was nice for the most part. I personally liked the ability to chain both the regular dash and the dash attack during the same jump. Wall running was intuitive to perform, but it would have been nicer to execute it on every surface and not just a set of predefined ones, as I think it would have enabled more freedom of exploration. Wall jumping was okay-ish, but I could never get it to work consistently and got very frustrated each time I was required to use it. Lastly, as others have already said, you should definitely add some coyote time to the jumps.

Camera didn’t feel that good honestly. Aside from the constant stuttering, depending on the angle it would also make a subtle up and down motion when running, which I found very annoying. Another much needed improvement would be to have the camera move ahead of the player when moving laterally instead of lagging behind so as to provide more visibility in the direction of movement. Also, the ceiling in a few rooms was too low and I feel this worked against the camera, as it would quickly zoom in towards the player and confuse me.

The enemy models were very nice, just as the player character and much of the environment, but as far as combat goes, they were just too slow and tanky to be fun to fight. After killing the first couple of enemies in the starting area, I basically skipped all of them. The player attacks could benefit from better feedback, both from a visual and audio standpoint.

Despite how it may seem, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy playing this. I imagine you’ll want to kickstart your professional career with this game or maybe another future project, so I felt the need to provide as much feedback as I possibly could to help you improve. It’s a very decent start and I really hope you get to achieve much success in the gaming industry!

The complete lack of a coyote jump, as well as the janky ledge grabbing, shoddy collision, and... enemies(?) made this a confusing, frustrating, but ultimately satisfying experience. As far as I can tell, I explored everywhere, and I found ways to clip through gates, jump around where I wasn't supposed to, and had a lot of fun doing so. That said, coyote jump, and more polish generally, would go a long way.

Wow, this is really good! I don't normally try a lot of 3D ones but this one is great, so good job!

I really loved the first playthrough of the game, despite its flaws, little bugs here and there and the combat (which i skipped completely after seeing how it is with the first two enemies), it was a fun and challenging platforming experience. But then you had to tease me with your time and i am too competitive to reject the challenge. I had fun trying to speedrun this game, but also a LOT of frustration, i had never wished for coyote time more in my life, and kept finding bugs that got in the way of the run, especially the inconsistent jump velocities and dash distances and the wall jumping/running not working sometimes as expected, so i would say every aspect of the character movement needs more polishing. the wall spikes were also a little frustrating, cuz you die just by touching them instead of just when they slam. Also the senstivity for mouse was really high, my hand hurts.

Anyway i wouldn't have spent so much time with this game if i didn't enjoy it so good job to the team. here's my best time. 13min

The game art model and animation are very good! and I like the character design as well.

The attack effects are very cool but it need some effect on the wall/enemy when gets hit.

The camera sensitivity is too high, Need the option to adjust the speed.

For the platforming,  Edge Grab really helps! but the camera need to fix the camera zoom level on some part.

Very promising game! I'm looking forward to it.

Very nice concept and graphics, but the controls combined with the relentless platforming made me give up quite quickly. Really need sensitivity adjustment and invert stick/control options.

It's a shame too because this is fairly solid, especially for a jam game!

I will have to come back to this only if there is a MAC build...my PC cant seem to handle the high performance of the style. It looks like quite a game, and I saw a lot of posts during the Jam that looked interesting. Let me know if there is a MAC build.....

Check out Chick-Magnet if you have the time!

Thanks

I sadly did not finish the game.

The visuals look really nice, both the character model and its animations. It's all very well done. The jump felt a bit abrupt and the slash appears just a tad too early, before the character really moved her arm, but otherwise the climbing animation is a nice touch. Overall the presentation is really solid. Great style.

But I did have trouble with the controls. The biggest problem was that the camera stuttered a lot. The character animations were smooth but the camera would only move in increments. It was all very disorienting and quite nauseating at time. The collisions seemed a bit finicky too and I'm not sure there's any coyote time, so I failed a few simple jumps and had to carry myself all the way over. In that regard, the jump from the moving platform to the rafters above the statue leading to the double jump was waaaay too difficult.

Combat lacked feedback. The first enemy in the game that I fought didn't die when I depleted its health (a bug?), so I was very confused. I kept hitting it but nothing would happen. Same with breakable walls: they take a few hits to break but there's no feedback. Saving was too big an interruption with the big location card appearing for a few seconds every time.

I quit just after reaching the double jump and failing the first few jumps over and over because of the camera. It's a shame because while I'm not big on tricky platformers, the way the 3D environment looped on itself seemed promising. With more polish, it could be a really fun game! ;)

Really great entry!  I loved looping back to the first room after the double jump and really appreciated that the game auto detected my input and swapped icons!

I think the platforming is a bit difficult, I'd probably give the player more air control, but the working ledge grab made up for it.  I'd give some juice and feedback to hitting enemies and boxes as well.  A little hit pause or making them flash when hit.  Can't wait to see more from ya'll!

Nice 3D metroidvania.

The movement was nice and snappy. Some coyote time would be nice, and I did slip off some edges every once in a while. It wasn't frustrating most of the time, but it made me resent seeing narrow platforms.

Mantling, Jumping, Double Jumping and Dashing worked as intended, but Wall Running did not reset my double jump or dash ability - seemingly randomly - and I gave up after trying to redo a section for ~10 times.

I stopped engaging with the combat after the first few enemies. It wasn't nice and it didn't give any rewards. On my first attempt, I started hitting a breakable wall, but since it gave no feedback (different sound, or hit flash) I moved on, only to get stuck and be surprised that I did indeed manage to break a different wall.

The maps and shortcuts were well designed, and it was enjoyable to explore them. But because the save points were plentiful, it negated any tension that was supposed to be built by challenging platforming and trap sections.

Hey. I realy like the 2D + 3D Art from this game. The controls are clunky imo (no coyote time, no jump buffer ect.) but the climbing works well. Overall your work in one month are good in particular you did not use any assets. cheers!

I really like the visual presentation of this game. A lot of effort was put into  it.

The fights against the normal enemies felt a bit tiresome, though. I felt like they had too much health. And you couldn't really tell when to dodge their attacks.
I would also think about coyote time and a map.

I feel this game has huge potential, though. If you add some background music and polish it a bit more, this could be a game you could sell.

Great game! I like the attack combos you can pull off. The levels & platforming is well designed. I would say try removing the mouse from the screen for better immersion.

i like this game

awesome, i love it

i do not see a webgl embed or download anywhere on the page. it sounds cool and i wanted to check out another 3d game from this jam, i hope it's just a misunderstanding on my part.

Hi, 

Very very nice I like the ambiance the sound are great. 

more indication on where to go and what to do after the sword :).

Something That I would potentially buy if it become polish,

also, 

I played with mouse and keyboard for the first play  I realise that the mouse pointer was going freely you can always do this to fix it : 

So I went with the Gamepad. 

Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
