I know someone has mentioned it before, but this reminds me of Maplestory.
Beyond that, I think this has a lot of potential to be good. The sprites are really well made and the UI is surprising clean. Additionally there's a lot of interesting features and mechanics, like the day/night cycle and 2D lighting.
That being said, this game janky and needs some work. Some things I've noted are:
- Collision detection. You can stand on top of enemies and sometimes enemy attacks will cause the physics to bug out via collision (Like an attack launching you halfway across the screen).
- Combat needs a lot of work. Others have already mentioned it, but only being able to attack while jumping is not very good.
- Not enough detail on what levelling up does. (I never really understood what it does, how it works, etc.)
- Occasionally environmental details get layered over the UI
Either way, you've got something really interesting here. I wanna see where this goes.
