Hi! Thanks so much for playing! I'm really happy you enjoyed it.
Yes, I made the game solo (including art and music). Glad you liked the art and the music in addition to the combat!
Just out of curiosity, how far did you get? The game gets pretty tough towards the end, so I'm always impressed if someone's able to conquer the final boss!
Sorry for answering so late, I'm not really active on this site.
I played for 30-60mins before I had to go to bed, I know I got past the first boss at least. I'll probably try it out again soon now that I'm not so busy with work.
I would like to do something similar to this genre some day so it's really inspiring to me that you managed to do all this by yourself. I've been playing around with unity for a year soon so I'm starting to get a hang of programming part but the art part seems really daunting to me, as someone who's never really been into art before. Do you have any tips on how to get started? I thought your art looked really great, how long have you been practicing pixel art?
No worries for answering late, thanks for responding! I've been doing pixel art for about 1.5 years. I got started by watching youtube tutorials and other tutorials online. HeartBeast's "let's pixel" series helped me a lot. I used that to just practice drawing random things. I also looked at this guy's patreon page a ton. He posts these fantastic 'one pager' tutorials on specific little things (for example, how to animate a 'top down attack').
The last thing I did was I would try to imitate art from games that I liked. I would frequently record myself playing games with good pixel art (i.e Hyper Light Drifter), and slow down the recordings frame-by-frame to try and see how they animated certain things (I think I would just use my iphone camera and record in slow-mo haha).
I hope that helped!
