Congrats for your game! First off, I think it fits the theme. I like the graphics, even though I think it’s a shame we don’t get to see the little monsters that we can see on the game banner.
As already pointed before, there’s a bug when you attack while walking, which is a bit inconvenient. Also, the platforms are a bit high for the jump, which makes it difficult to always get it. Also, it’s kind of hard to see the horns sometimes, I guess it’s part of the game, but it feels a bit like luck.
It’s a game jam so ofc we are time limited and I know you probably wanted to add stuff but you didn’t had time or knowledge to do so.
Here are some improvements that can be made:
- Add a 2D sound noise for each monsters. Randomly emit a noise, that can help guide the player to them
- Make the timer more obvious (maybe top center) and animate it when it’s near timeout (to add a sentiment of urgency)
- Fix the sliding bug/platform height
- Add some ambient sound/music
- Add an animation of the monster being discovered
Hope you find some of my suggestions helpful, and congrats again for your game!
