So I did manage to beat the first one, but the second really got to me man hahah I almost did get close to beating him - but just couldn't. I'm assuming you didn't do playtests so it's okay.



This particular attack was oftentimes a checkmate. I'm glad to hear you'll be ironing out these kinks post-jam, because the combat here can be really good, combined with your spin mechanic. I also would wish to see if you make it so that I can go to the deflect state instantly no matter what I'm doing. Because I had to like stop shooting half a second prior in order to get a guaranteed parry.

A solid entry aside from these nitpicks! Hope you also had fun making this.

Thanks for the feedback! In fact we did a lot of testing, although some minor bugs remain because there wasn't enough to fix them. I'm kinda curious why this particular attack was a checkmate sometimes, could you explain please? 

Thanks for the suggestion about the parrying mechanic, we'll revaluate the gameplay aspect  to make it more smooth :)

We had a lot of fun doing this, it was nice to start learning a new engine and creating all of these different attack patterns and other things, it was an incredible learning experience.

Same here! Had a blast as well. I got to learn FMOD and Krita! Question; What engine did you guys go with for this jam? So you did do playtests with other people? My bad.

Let's say I was at the top-most platform, the 3 bullets are in the same order shown in the picture. There was no way I could go down to the ground quick enough without getting hit by the bullet from the platform above the ground. Tell me I am missing something. Because like with Hacker's lasers... they show where they are going to fire. That gives me a heads up, but I don't think you could tell which 3 places the bullets are gonna fire at in advance.

Wanted to implement FMOD but there was no time hahaha. We used Godot! 

No, only us did the playtests, sorry for misunderstanding your point!

I see, maybe if there were turrets on the wall charging the shots would be a good way to show the path and player movement being a bit faster would help too. We plan to see those details after the jam, but having these details being explained like this helps a lot! Thanks :D

Thanks for playing, and sorry for giving you a hard time on that one! We did do quite a bit of internal playtesting, but that doesn't really help for telegraphs and the like, because we already know how things work and have an understanding of where to be and when, lol.
