A cool game  with a lot of potential to add new enemies and mechanics, the art style is lovely!

Developer

Oh, hi! Nice to hear your feedback but the dev team behind this split up so we can't continue development

A little top down arena shooter, where you chose your load-out before the round starts. Cool.

Summary:

Adherence to Theme 
  • You pack your bag before the round and are stuck with it for the match. Makes for interesting Gameplay but could've incorporated the theme just a tiny bit more.
Game Design 
  • The different items where quite fun to use / explore
  • Some item combinations where vastly superior to others, to the point that I could not lose. -> I think the potion cool down is a little too short.
  • 2 enemies who behaved quite similar, it was easy not to get hit. Didn't quite hit the sweet spot in terms of difficulty for me personally but I can see why it was designed this way.
  • For the future, some different enemy types, who are affected differently by the weapons would be a welcome addition!
Originality
  • It's an arena shooter. Yes it has magic weapons and on top of that bonus points for having the load-out mechanic, which gave it replayability.
Style
  • The sprites looked clean, enemies and player where easily distinguishable from the background.
  • The background looked a bit tiresome at some point, too much repeat in the pattern. A little less detail is often times more in pixel art.
  • The music and sound effects where fine but could use a little more time in the oven.

Overall:

Cool game, cool concept. Played it a bit safe but overall, quite fun.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. We will take that on board and build upon it for sure :). This is my first game jam , had fun working with this group. Since finishing University, i've been looking to build the skills I have learnt as well as build up my portfolio too :D   

Developer

We've taken this on board and enjoyed your feedback. We hope you continue to play the newer updates coming out

The only good thing about this game is the style (5/5), the rest is bullshit and 1/5

I really love the style of this game feels special

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you feel that way. We spent 99% of day one compromising on ideas and ended up with this style, so I hoped it was worth it :P

Very well done, its a Great Game made in 48 hours.

What I found in game that can be improved (Regarding your post): 

- There were no collisions on borders of map,  I could go beyond the map.

- Enemies killed (Wolf) kept going downwards as if a small amount of Y force was been applied to them.

- The Music Background should Loop

- The cool-down for the mp hp and speed were to small,It was easy to stay alive because of that.

Overall, was a great game made in a small amount of time! Great Job :)

I enjoyed playing it for like 5 minutes, but didn't feel like it was getting harder so I got a little bored.. Nice game though!

Developer

Very good game. Would have loved if it had some ending. And as JasonDavey said, difficulty does not seem to escalate.

Running diagonally helps a lot.

Developer(+1)

Hi, the ending is when you die. The team here at CRYJP Productions are actually working on a story mode for the game and increasing difficulty for the current gamemode

Great! Feels pretty solid overall. Art and audio are nice!

Also fairly polished - all of the menu transitions etc work well.

Only had a couple of small issues:
• The aim gets a bit dodgy when you're pointing almost directly left/right
• The difficulty didn't seem to escalate - would have been nice to ramp up the spawn rate, as I felt I could keep going without getting hurt quite easily
• Would appreciate an in-game indicator to show which items are mapped to which numbers

Overall, very impressive!

Developer

Thanks Jason!
