I liked that I could play a lady, it was nice to be able to choose. Neat that there was some customization. I noticed there were some different hits with the weapons but couldn't quite figure out how I was doing it. I picked up the halberd and it was a one shot kill of everyone, too powerful. Combat felt a little disconnected. I collected 2100 gold though and feel like a rich lady. The game was laggy, was running 15-40 FPS. I found the premise fun, I would like to see the boss i fight at the end of that dungeon. I really like the mimics, since I was a gold collector they startled me and that was fun.

Glad you liked that there was a lady there. Yolan and I didn’t discuss it so it’s awesome that we both felt it was important individually. Though I don’t know if you noticed, there was something strange happening with her hair when in the dungeon (it is see-through from behind).
I really struggled figuring out the controller too. Yolan wrote it (almost) from scratch during the Jam and as is so often the case bit off a little too much. Each weapon as around 20 attacks (though I think there was some duplication for the swords).
I think 2100 is likely a record. I certain never got above 1500 in testing, but if you were using the halberd then yeah… I guess so.
15-40 FPS is better than I expected given we both have beast cards and we didn’t do any optimization. So I reckon we could get that up to 60+ with work. We can also reduce effects like fog and so on for lower end cards. Next game jam we should leave a day for optimizations.
We did have a boss fight planned, but well… game jam timing :-(
Glad the mimic spooked you. I wanted to add it to an UMA as a head, so when you triggered it thse legs and arms would unfold and it would run away, only to hunt you down and jump at you later. Two scares for the price of one… but again… Game Jam timing.
Thanks for your feedback , really helpful and encouraging.
