Hey there Nowis, thanks for submitting a project to the 2022 IGMC. I was asked to judge your game in round four of the IGMC 2022 game jam. Here's some feedback about your project.
Really great Title and intro scene.
The story is very tropey, but it's a time tested plot line that works over and over.
The sound can be a little sharp or piercing at times. I wouldn't say abrasive, but it's a thin line. For example with the last bar of the town music holding that high note, while also hearing the SFX of saving the game. I played with studio headphones on and not everyone will have enough clarity to find issue with this.
The action combat system is really good and I especially love the inclusion of a strafing system. Good thinking there.
I like the idea of teasing the player with an item that cost 999. You know that some players will have to get it. :)
I like the colorful sprites and tilesets. Some of them are are so darn cute. Especially the little shark heads.
The bosses felt a little too easy, but that's probably better than too hard. Especially for a game jam entry.
I got the Hero in Training ending first. I am a fan of multiple endings.
What a spectacular little Zelda-like adventure RPG. I really enjoyed this entry, your game jam entries never disappoint, Nowis. Bravo.
Thanks for submitting a project for the IGMC 2022 and I always look forward to your next works.
