Cool boss fight! Took me four tries to defeat the boss.
On the second try I got stuck underneath the boss (before I learned that space was for dodging) and died less than a second later due to all the tick damage, so maybe a knockback or something when the boss lands could solve that problem.
One thing I didn't like was that the projectiles the frog sent out didn't disappear when they hit the player. I would've liked them to disappear as I already have been hit by it and don't want to get continuous damage if I'm not able to dodge away somewhere safer.
I really like the art style! The gameplay reminded me a bit about Titan Souls and this has the potential of being in the same "boss rush" kind of genre. A solid prototype!
I considered removing particles or giving invincibility frames after getting damage, as my testers mentioned that too, but after all i just left that. Knokback is a cool option to consider. Thank you for kind words !
Really cool game and love the graphics!
And i love that u liked it !
This was so cool! Very inspiring too. I think focusing on a single boss battle with a "two" themed opponent was a great idea.
Thank you very much again <3.
Wow man, you are really on to something here. I don't think it fits the theme strongly but the quality and attention to detail for the game is crazy(the water effects!!). I was immediately hooked into the world and wanted to go and explore it! I really hope you continue with this project and bring it to completion. Great job! :)
I wish i get so lucky to do this ! Thank you very much and I'm really happy u liked it : ).
Cool for a beginner and I think I found a bug, even if you are standing away from the crab you can damage him if you click on him
Doubt thats the bug, melee range is just pretty big : P.
Nice, I recommend adding an animation that shows how your slash is travelling and when it collides with the crab, it finishes
Good idea, sadly didnt really have time for that during jam, im glad that the rotation is counted correctly :D
nice design but i think have to work a bit on colliders and hit effects. its a bit hard to feel that damaged:)
If u dont get hit u dont get damaged at all : ). Thanks for playing!
Killed him on my third try, really fun and fast paced game. But i didnt see any relevance to the theme at all
Glad you made it. Thanks for playing : ).
Would you mind trying out my game?
Ill play every game, but im doing random order atm so no one is favored.
The game looks pretty good, but the Goulash throws a bit to much projectiles in my opinion.
Well dont tell that to me but try convincing him instead.
So I started the game yesterday on TV first, bad choice for such a fast-paced title! Today I tried it on PC and finally managed to defeat Goulash. What a paprika inflated joke. I like the art, especially the details like animations and reflection. Where do you plan to release your "flooded world" game? Sound like a nice concept. Have fun and have a good day.
Question is not where but when : D. Cause id probably release it on most pc platforms possible (esp steam). The initial idea was for turn based rpg but due to this jam im really starting to doubt the idea : P and just make action rpg instead. Hope you liked paprika flavored sauce!
This game is very fun to play both viscerally and tactically. Although there is only one level it's well polished. The connection to the theme is probably this game weakest point but I think the duel is a better connection here than in other games since there are only two combatants. This game reminds me a lot of Hyper Light Drifter in its gameplay, artstyle, and even music.
Thats the biggest compliment i could've heard. I've certainly inspired my artstyle on hld stuff. And disasterpeace (hlds music creator) had really big impact on how i approach music creation : >
Hey congrats on your very first jam! It's a really big accomplishment, definitely take the time to enjoy the post-jam hype. Now on to your game: it was fun! I really like the style. The flooded forest idea is pretty cool and the unique colors of the trees with the vibrant blue water makes for a pretty neat palette. The audio, while not too fancy, did its job.
The boss was fun to fight and the game felt good. I do feel like the dash maybe covered too much distance to where it was harder for me to estimate where I'd land. So I actually ended up beating the boss without the dash at all, which added some nice challenge to it. I do feel like the ranged attack is a little too useful. So maybe if the player didn't have a dash they could spend a bit of their stamina by using the ranged attack. But I'm not here to tell you how to design your own game.
The design is overall really good! While I think the relevance to the theme could have been a bit stronger, the game itself was quite fun. Keep up the good work!
Hey, thanks for such a great feedback! in terms of ranged attack I actually find melee way easier to play with so i guess its matter of the preference : P. Drawback from range is longer inability to move than with melee ( i dont recall corectly but melee is like 200 ms vs 400 ms on ranged or smth alike). And melee has huge range aswell so u dont need to run into a boss to damage him : >
Yeah for sure, I definitely used a mix of melee and ranged. But I suppose it all depends on the maximum length of the frog's tongue. Either way, the removal of the dash could make for a little hard mode challenge or something haha
Well rn time between moves is 1 sec into 0.33s on the second phase. But this is already planned as drinking game for new years eve with 0s between attacks I've already tested that and getting hit 6 times with a tongue in a second is indeed fun challenge : D. Also dash gives much needed invincibility frames so u can dodge bullets.
Lol at first I thought this was going to be easy, I was very wrong! Great game, lots of juice and the was very appealing to look at!
Thank you! I can tell you weren't the only one who thought that and got verified : D
Very fun! It felt awesome to teleport around the boss and hit him from behind.
Thank you! Hope u stabbed him well : D
The gameplay is great! It feels really easy to play but hard to master. It took me about 5 tries before beating the boss but each time I felt like I was getting better. I think the connection to two is a little bit weak but other than that it's a really good game
And that's exactly what i wanted to achieve : ). Im really glad u liked it.
Really like the art style on this one and good job implementing a boss fight! I'm not convinced by the control scheme, but i think it's a matter of preference rather than actual design issue, so well done!
Thank you! Glad you liked it :>
I really liked the art and animations :) Nice short and fun game P:
Im flattered, thank you! : )
the music is very nice. I like the handling of the controls and the gameplay, really cool!
Happy to read that ! Thank you : )
Music and art are really nice. Might need to fix the event that after I killed the boss, I ended up dying to a stray bullet.
Thank you!
The art and sfx were nice! The animations looked a little wonky, but other than that it was a nice little game!
Thank you!
Waw love the game, the design and a little more work on the slash sound. but i don't see the Relevance to the theme
Thanks!
The idea was boss is two creatures - frog and its parasite, aswell as it's duel but i agree i didn't put anything yellin "Two" in the game :P.
