I sunk way too much time into this game. Only thing that still sort of confuses me is the center row and the order of events as they unfold, I kind of just blindly choose cards and click clackity click.
Made it to the tree level, after that no matter how many times I pressed restart from checkpoint the next level wouldn't unlock after I killed everyone.
While the combat is really well made it kind of gets a little stale since there is no sound or anything to do besides get to the next level, have you thought of adding a shop or a ranking system like DMC or Ultrakill?
Due to the test appid I'm using from steam; You must be in the same Region as any player you wish to join. example: US-West, US-East, Europe, Asia, ect. You will have a better chance finding a game if you use a vpn.
Everything about this game is fun. The SFX are very well done. I almost left a bug report for when you get your eyes poked out. I also found a way to cheese the first boss. If you allow him to follow you to the edge of the level one of his guns will get stuck behind the wall. Besides that it was a very fun boss fight.
The humor in the game is very deadpan/tongue-in-cheek but not too over the top where it becomes cringem, I highly enjoyed it. Very cute/stylish game.
I've played so much FTL that I didn't even need the tutorial and enjoyed figuring out everything.
While holding down shift is ok, I would recommend coloring the icons for the different rooms or at least darkening them/increasing the contrast so it's easier to see where everything is at a glance.
Highly enjoy the music, almost seems like it adapts to what is happening (is it?). Can't wait to see the designs for the other ships. I would probably also like to see selecting multiple characters at once.
Nothing I can say will be different than what others have already said. It feels like a full-fledged game. Combat feels wonkey at first but you can used to it very quickly. The feedback from combat such as the sounds, the blood, and the animations makes combat rewarding.
My only suggestion is maybe work on the ui a tiny bit more. the main HUD is already great but the pages for the pause menu, and some of the other ui (not the spellbook, the spellbook is already perfect 10/10) could use some more coherensy; Such as maybe not having them so bright and vibrant. and maybe match each other a little more.
Other than that it feels like an already complete game.
Movement and camera controls are great. Combat feels good and rewarding when I can actually get it working (I can tell it's in it's early stages and can't wait to see how it turns out). Level and creature design are really good and just get me immersed. The one complaint I have is the combat feels very hit/miss; it either works really well or it just doesn't work at all.
Got stuck in the dialogue system and couldn't leave. Also the buttons in the dialogue system don't work. The movement/combat feels great, but the design choice of having the camera controls set up like they are and being able to jump in a top-down game are confusing to me. The respawn animation really stood out to me, it is really cool.
Thanks for playing the prototype. You can throw snowballs from anywhere because you are going to need to throw snowballs at targets at certain heights and I thought it was funny. I tried making it so you could only throw snowballs while standing still/it would force you to stand still and it wasn't fun. I'll see what I can do about the floaty aspect but it might make some of the puzzles/goals a lot harder to hit.
The 64 in the name is literally something I came up with while submitting the project. I don't even know why I did it either, lmao.
Literally no progress done since February of last year but if you are new to DemoDay or just haven't checked it out yet now's your chance. Wouldn't recommend playing it only by yourself as you might not find a lobby.
