That was awesome! I loved the character art and animations, the sound effects, and the combat mechanics.
I liked the music, but I don’t think it fit the game very well. I think a more up beat and less serious theme would have worked better with the cartoony graphics and hack and slash gameplay.
Also, the environment art was a little lacking in detail, mainly just the textures. The colors just didn’t match the bright and cheery character designs IMO. It made me feel like I was just running through empty quiet corridors instead of some alien world.
The fighting was very fun but I feel like it was missing some sort of reward system for the player. After a while, combat started to feel pointless since I could just run past enemies. A scoring system would really liven up the gameplay, and if you could implement some sort of combo system like DMC, it would really encourage players to try to pull off long combos.
Another thing is maybe let the player know when the enemy is dead so they don’t end up juggling them infinitely, like tint the enemy red as they take more damage.
Overall though, this is one of the best games I’ve played so far in the jam, and I hope you continue to develop it because it has a lot of potential.
