Prison break is definitely the highlight. That + the cutscenes were really cool to see done in a jam. Good job!

I love this fighting style I think your game is really cool! I also enjoyed the music it fused really well also with the art it was really amazing :)

Great story  and nice art!   The time dilation was a nice touch. Fairly short but gets too the point of the theme and lore very well within the story.

nice short game but idk why a guy was trapped in the wall at the end of the freeing people cutscene

Cool game !
I really liked how you used the arena as a tutorial. The slow-mo was a really cool mechanic and fun to use. My only problem was with the hitbox being inconsistent with the visual, was a bit hard to tell if I was hitting or not since the only feedback was a lost of HP in the health bar (wich was a cool addition btw), would have been nice to have a different sound effect from when you miss and when you hit. The final battle was pretty cool too and the key was a nice way of including the lore.

Cool game, I enjoyed it.

Very cool characters and animations! I didn't really understand what the magic ability did, but I managed to complete the game, and have fun! :D

This was definitely a great experience! Thanks for sharing your game. The story was good, the gameplay solid (The sword magic seemed broken, but the time magic was cool), and visuals very well done. Sound direction was also on par! I streamed it here:

Thanks for playing our game! Seeing the playthrough in your stream puts a smile in my face, like just seeing live playthroughs always give the best feeling lol. The hitbox for the magic sword is broken which kinda sucks because it would of been an op ability to use as well.

I was wondering what was going on with it. I tried it a few times and it never seemed to do damage. I thought I either was using it wrong or it was broken. Either way it was fun!

I really enjoyed the mechanics and art that this game put forward! Starting with the art I love pixel art and whenever I see animations done with it I enjoy it, especially with the magic sword and time dilation abilities. The mechanics behind them are not new but still satisfying to do especially together against a group of tight enemies as they miss attacking you. I enjoyed the background of the exposition scenes although I did think they could have ended sooner as it would last even after the text had disappeared from the screen. Another aspect I would love to see would be some of the AI because at times they would not turn to hit me. Other than that wonderful work in such a short time by this team!

Thanks for playing our game! And thanks especially for liking my pixel art, I definitely came a long way in improving my art level. The infinite scrolling of the text screen is a bug we didn't have to time to fix, but I'm glad you enjoyed our game!

OKAY! Got a chance to play it.

Awesome concepts, I was a big fan of the music and the cute art style. Would love to see this game polished up with some more time. :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! We hope to polish some stuff in the near future since this game has some potential

It was a fun story and fun to play.

The only thing is that it was really big on the browser, I needed to scroll down every time I wanted to read something.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! Yeah to resolve that issue for now is to zoom out of the screen. 

Submitted(+1)

I wanted to play unfortunately I couldn't because how huge the game was on the browser :(

Developer (1 edit)

You can zoom the web page out (browser zoom, Chrome for example uses 'Ctrl' + '-'). Hope you can get it running :)

Very good game maybe if you added some more polish and some more story it could be its own full game. One issue was that enemies can attack if they have 0 health sometimes

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! We definitely plan to make a post jam build of this to really flesh out the gameplay, enemies, level design, and story.
