It's a bit fast-paced, but it's still one of the best games in the jam.
The story is a bit tough to swallow, but still very impressive an interesting.
Art is beautiful, music is nice and catchy...
One I noticed though is that the game lags and stutters REALLY BAD in the web version. Maybe it's smth with my pc, but my pc isn't that weak.
Overall, very nice game, with a smart idea! Nice. Keeeeep it up, guys!
Thanks for your feedback! We have had multiple comments about the web build being laggy, so it seems it's not just you, Glad you enjoyed it overall though!
Fun game, starts a bit slow and easy, gets challenging after 5 curses, and the last fight definitely brings some heat. I liked the idea of the different types bullets, I can see potential in combining them for more advanced attacks. I liked the simplicity of the art, and how the music is fitting and lively. No significant bugs or sharp corners, shows the experience given only 3 days of production. All in all, I had a good time!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty awesome game, reminded me of the likes of TBOI and atomicrops. The artstyle is pretty good too. One little nitpick i have with it though is that the web build tends to lag a bit (although thats prob due to my laptop being kinda shit + web games usually being laggy) and that the walking speed felt a little too slow, although thats counteracted by the dash function so it really isnt much of a bother. Overall i had fun playing this!
Thanks for playing and reviewing our game! I'm glad you enjoyed it overall!
Really great game! I'm sure a lot of work went into all of the mechanics, and they resulted in some pretty challenging but engaging gameplay! The aesthetic of the game is really pleasant, and the art is amazing considering you only had 3 days to work with. All of the characters, Kel, the Witch, Mother Earth, look really polished and are beautiful. It's a pity we couldn't charm the witch into becoming friendly at the end of the game ;)
There's some solid use of music and sfx as well. I really liked the game's polish in general.
My chief complaint is that the game lagged a lot every once in a while. Maybe it's because I played it in browser, maybe it's because my laptop is old, but the game felt really slow once lots of bullets came onto the screen.
Other than that, I really enjoyed playing your game! Well done!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it overall!
i can fix her
You guys have such a well polished game! All the mechanics feel so smooth! Definitely super impressive for 3 days of work. I managed to beat the witch after multiple attempts at that last fight, but I'm just bad at bullet hell lol Incredible job!!
😄
Happy you liked it!
