Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • There is something here for sure. The mechanics of the game are not well explained but understandable. The main issue is that the objective of the game is not clear. The there is followed a little, as there does not seem to be any fighting of the dark, you simply run until the darkness gets you, or you find someone to save(?). If you find a way to explain the objective of the game game, there is potential here. Side note: when there are too many objects on screen, the game tends to suffer performance issues.

I'm really bad at platformers. The game is great, the music and sound effects are great. Sometimes things are a bit confusing, it's hard to tell what's going on. Anyway, it's a good game. Great work!

I had a blast playing this game! :) Sprinting and running through the level was genuinely fun and kept me hooked. It’s a bit of a shame that the browser version doesn’t work, but the experience was still worth it. Overall, it’s a game that’s easy to jump into and enjoy—hopefully, a fixed browser version will be possible in the future!

I see what you were going for - This is a neat little NES-like platformer with a lot of little quarks to figure out.

I had fun. :)

a strangely working platformer. the game window in the web version does not work correctly, and the bat spawner is buggy, it just generates a lot of bats, and it is impossible to dodge it!

html version is bugged. Please play at exe instead

I'm a little bit confused by what's happening here. The tutorial was great, with decent platforming, and general mechanics, and the music is amazing. However, once I got to the main game, I was a little overwhelmed, wasn't really sure where to go, and my light ran out so fast, that I never beat anything (also collecting the blue things didn't seem to restore my light). It's a good idea, but I think it could use a little polish, and a slightly more gradual difficulty curve.

html version is bugged because of disexperience in porting. Play at exe vers instead

I downloaded the game and it was fun  :)
It's a pity, of course, that the browser version doesn't work.
I enjoyed sprinting and running through the entire level.
You really managed to add a lot of interesting things to the game. Keep it up!
p.s. sound volume too loud

Developer

thanks for feedback!!! sorry for volume, it's the last feature i've added and i've not equalized all sounds better

I liked the tutorial a lot. The main game felt a bit odd in that the first level is just rushing through and then there is a massive difficulty spike for the second level where I didn't know where to go. The gameplay is fun, but there was lag. It wasn't all of the time, but often enough that it was noticeable. The sound was fun and I like the idea for how it handles the theme. The randomised areas are cool.

Developer

thanks 4 feedback. level are differents if U play in browser or after downloaded .exe ( i suggest to play real game with .exe
the real game have always a fixed spawn or starting point for Character, and his friends spawn in random position so U need to RUN throught passages and floors to find Friend before enemies kill U or light fade out

Submitted

There is alot going on and I dont really know what's happening... It's pretty alright tho

Developer

after main text u could choose to play a short tutorial, u have found it?

Submitted

I have but it's alot to take in at once for a new player

Developer

tutorial is a safe mode without loss of light and death state
