Life Eternal
by Ronove
Hey there Ronove, thanks for submitting a project to the 2022 IGMC. I'm Drifty and I was asked to judge your game in round four of the IGMC 2022 game jam. Here's some feedback about your project.
I like the serene, chill and emotional track that the game opens up with on the title screen.
Wow, such fantastic pixel art. It's really amazing how you've synced up the text with a talking bust. It looks great.
This game reminds me of the King's Quest series in some way but I'm not exactly sure why. It must be the pixel art.
The tileset and mapping are detailed and highly customized. It does set an immersive atmosphere.
The white screen transition gets to be a little excessive once you're wandering through the forest. I would prefer a dark screen transition through-out the forest scenes.
As beautiful and well written as it is, there's a lack of actual gameplay and this is more of a 'find the switch' puzzle game.
I do like the the thought of replaying it again and selecting different options so you've done a great job at instilling a sense of replay-ability.
The story and artwork presentation are absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately it's lacking any real gameplay, besides the fetch quest and choice mechanics. Even so, this was a wonderful journey and you've put together a really nice project for the IGMC 2022. Great job, I look forward to your future works!
(I found 1/6 cryptic notes and 2/5 skeleton friends.)
