Pretty cool idea, though I was dash spamming towards the end as there were so many enemies being thrown on screen. Ended up blowing through the boss as I didn't slow down. A little refinement and some more levels and I could see myself playing this for hours. Nice work
thank you for playing! :D
yes i left that cheese in case some players got stuck so they can just spam and finish the level, but it's a lot more fun to find creative ways to enjoy the fights!
if i make this prototype an actual game, i'll definitely fix those leak
Wow, great job. Always a fan of games that take one mechanic and use it in numerous different ways to traverse the level and fight. The whole game being designed around that dash mechanic is fantastic and makes this feel unique. Good level design that the dash not only kills but, is required to get past obstacles. Awesome job!
hahahah thank so you much for playing!
and yes i wanted to focus more on one mechanic that has multiple uses rather than multiple mechanics with just one use each
Had fun playing this one!
I found a fun glitch on the part where bats come straight from the top, you can dash wayyy out of the screen.
hahahhaha yes that was put there on purpose so you can go wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
thanks for playing!
A nice simple game, sadly I couldn’t get passed the first level with a pit in it as I was so bad at chain hitting them.
Just saw the Gif of how I was meant to do it, I was doing it wrong 😅
Keep up the good work!
hahahahah yes that level was a bit harder than it should've been
the gif is the parkour way of doing it but there are easier ways
thanks for playing!
Nice. Simple gameplay and well executed.
Thank you for playing! :D
Nice game!! dashing and killing was satisfying, and i love how the protegonist just sounds mildly irritated when he dies.
i struggled where i had to chain kill 3 bats in that one level but still I had a lot of fun!
hahahahahha thank you so much for playing!!
Yes that level is where people might stop playing so I'm glad you pulled it off! Everything after should be smooth sailing
I actually have a gif added where I show you how you can parkour/combo all 5 of the bats in that level in one go 🤣
I can definitely see this being developed into a bigger game, the controls felt really responsive and fun. The gameplay made me think "what if celeste was a fighting game", and I mean that as a huge compliment. Other than some minor bugs I would say this was a pretty good game.
wow.. that's high praise! thank you for your words Red! Glad you enjoyed and I'll definitely be working on this game some more in the future!
Awesome game but it needs some time to master it.
hahahah indeed! thanks for playing Makmouk!
Hi there!
hello Shidy!
Thank you so much for your detailed input!!
There is a boss in the game so the limitation is covered. For the theme the idea is as you progress you become bound to the light and you are unable to move freely in the dark, so you have to fight while you are bound in the light and dashing at the edge of it. It becomes more clear as you progress in the game.
But yes you got stuck at probably the hardest level. I included a gif how beating it the parkour/combo way, but there are other ways of doing it.
Pretty good game! Solid mechanics, biggest grip is the one level where one of the dark samurai things is in a little nook, it's quite difficult to attack them without them walking into you first
Hello Meta!
Thanks for playing!
For that level you can jump and dash behind the dark shinobi, then silently take them out!
But yes this is probably the most difficult level that I'm afraid people will get stuck at 😅
Thanks IDUMDUM :)
Part 2 coming soon tkram 3younak!
wow awsome arcade action game !!!
hehehe thanks bs ma5asak!
