Amazing art. I liked the light mechanic, using it to make platforms and move/control creatures. Most of my attack weren't touching the enemies though, and the cooldown after an attack lets the enemy hurt you, I think it should be faster. Great game!

The graphics were especially pretty. The lighting effects really gave off a neat feeling of the environment itself. I was having some trouble with the platforming, but once I got a feel for the physics it worked quite well. Great job!

Developer

Thanks! We gave a try to the new unity 2d lightning system and it turns out to be pretty cool and easy to use :)

What can I say it very pretty and has really neat mechanics.

This is one of my favorite entry! I love the animations of the character and the overall art direction (the spawning point is so beautiful). The gameplay is very interesting and the mechanics seems well think! I would have loved spamming "X" button instead of waiting between two hits ^^ But it's some nice work already done! And the mood is incredible!

Developer

Happy to hear you liked the game ^_^ Yeah, attack timings definitely need some work, thanks for your feedback :)

Beautiful artwork! And I love the Mantis mechanic. I stumbled on it by accident and had one of those great "ah-ha" moments.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! We are happy you liked the game :)

This game was extremely fun! I loved discovering new uses for the glowy thing (in particular, the grasshopper thing was genius). The visuals are gorgeous and the music is atmospheric. As far as areas of improvement, the only thing is the keyboard controls, as I keep finding myself accidentally hitting the windows button, but that's likely just a me problem. Very solid game!

Developer

Many thanks for your feedback! ) Keyboard controls are really could be better. We were kind of concentrated on gamepad support at some point and just left them as is))

I really enjoyed this one! 

One main mechanic used brilliantly in different ways. The level design is also very clever! 

Great Job! Hopefully we will see more of Shell Life in the future :D!

Developer

Glad you liked  the game, thank you for checking it out! Yeah, we are going at least to polish what we have after the jam :)
