Great Man! Unfortunately Flameborne project was shut after the JAM because of the bandwidth issue, I might working on something new from my end you can check it on twitter @slydeets
My review points: The upper platform and below platforms are fundamentally different so I guess they should have some kind of contrast through color or design as they act as a safe area. Frogs looked good but they lack mechanics like jumping a little also I think their art style is like a top-down game compared to the player.
I am also learning Godot these days you can check things I do on Twitter @slydeets Best of luck for future games
Saddly was not able to defeat the boss. as the loading time was too much after I get killed by boss
One Suggestion: Make Player and enemy sprite tone a little lighter as it was not really visible well that gave the game very odd look. like what's in focus
The Small things count screen shake effect hit knockback all them made the combat system cool.
and parallax and other bg element gave it a very cool presentation!
The player movement was a little glitchy and not easy to control and camera was zomming in and out that made my focus go wild, was not able to understand the map because of it
Damn the game was good, I have recently played celeste. this game has the same vibes with metroidvania topping on it. Really enjoyed, A very well-designed game.
Suggestion:
Only one thing that felt missing was player death animation whenever I die it felt odd a little dying without animation
The Game Mechanics are really good. just that the slime projectile attack is soo fast not enough time to dodge & it really gets unbeatable if there are more than 2 slime near you
They should have some kind of knock back from sword to hit them without hurting our self
Very Great choice of assets! the music & graphics has created a very soothing effect.
The movement acceleration and jump delay really made the game frustrating. and in some places I was not able to distinguish between platforms and bg specially in tree area
It is a good entry, but dodging bats is quite hard. and the movement felt slow as compared to the other element of game like those moving platforms and bats. Gems Idea was good, but it doesn't make it in the Metroidvania style. it feels odd to stopped because you don't have enough Gems in this type of games
We got what you are saying, the end submission was a bit rushed at our side. That's why some small changes left to do like Checkpoints, Health Potions, GamePad Config. Really liked your Indepth review. We will update the other things too after the JAM . Again thanks for Playing!
And the area is called The Cursed Land that's why that box was there
