Congrats on the win well deserved, love the crafting elements in your game. One of our team members wanted to go this direction and it’s really cool to see it pulled off so well :)
Thanks so much! We love it when people notice those smaller details. We’ve had several people express a preference for the swan, and others say it needs to be nerfed (which maybe means they’re saying the same thing).
There’s definitely bigger things to polish (like hitboxes and a tutorial that clarifies what puppets have heavy attacks and don’t) as well as smaller “quality of life” things (like volume control and optimization for all browsers). Thanks for letting us know what your experience was like. We definitely want to continue to improve the gam after the jam is done.
These kind of anecdotes will help us make Maxwell, Glen, and Ellory better and better in future versions, so thanks for taking the time to tell us about your experience. And thank you for playing!
Thank you for playing! I appreciate the feedback on the filter system. We thought it was a cute idea, but we agree definitely needs some refinement. Hope you had fun!
We’ve had a lot of really good feedback around how to make the combat clearer, so thanks for sharing yours as well. We’re eager to make the game as good as it can be.
Thanks for the comment, and glad you were able to play. We’d like non-fighting-game players to be able to enjoy Shadow Boxer, so knowing what you think about the animation and clarity around attacks is helpful :)
There’s definitely a lot more we can do to indicate a hit has landed, and we’re excited to figure that out and playtest. Thank you for the comment and for playing!
We love hearing Glen, Ellory and Maxwell talked about like they’re tried and true game characters, even if it’s to throw some OP shade. Definitely want to hear how people are playing, that kind of input is really helpful. Glad you liked it!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it! We definitely plan on revamping the gameplay based on the feedback we’ve received so far. Believe it or not, it used to be much slower than it currently is! :D
Thanks for your feedback and for playing! We’re definitely really excited to tune hitboxes and movement while we playtest and balance on the path to stream release :)
Finally got to sit down for a proper playthrough. I think the first time I never realized how you move faster in the direction you’re facing xD
Genuinely super fun, well balanced (up till you get that broken build point, which I always enjoy) smooooth performance, seriously well done.
I think you could have max level for powerups and then have synergies at the top so getting the broken build feels slightly harder but just as insane and rewarding. Lean into your amazing performance and make that the spotlight by doing crazy vampire survivors stuff!
So incredibly polished! I felt like there was probably depth I was missing, really impressed by the art, the transitions, the vibe! Great Job!
Really appreciated the pouring mechanic I think it differentiates from a lot of the “bartender” games in the jam. That combined with visual cues was really cool. I felt like I wanted to take notes before I went to the bar lol.
Definitely had a pretty repetitive game once, maybe randomization could use a log to pull from and ensure a little more variety.
Agree on the hitboxes; we’ve been getting a lot of good suggestions on how to make the combat more intuitive, and that includes tuning those up. (Also, make it so you can’t get stuck on top of your opponent). Thank you for the feedback, the kind words, and for playing!
Thank you for playing and for the suggestion! If/when we add more characters and puppets, we’ll definitely need to be smart about it, so the reskin approach is interesting.
Dude your game is unhinged I love it. will have to go back and play more properly and leave ya a review! we briefly saw it and played around before we submitted. Thanks for playing our same name game and giving thoughts! :D
fun little game, got the speed buff to 50% and it was just silly, definitely one of those games that starts unbalanced in a very different direction than it ends, but I enjoyed seeing if i could break it with a billion larvae.
Looks nice! could use balancing but its got bones :)
Great stuff! All around a hectic good time :D lots going for it! I’d change the tutorial to be more of a “here try this step” vibe but given its a game jam and a fairly straightforward mechanic it all works out rather nicely :)
<3 wonderful! thank you so much for playing and sharing your thoughts!
Yeah we wanted to get more details and a tutorial / playground in. Each puppet has a set of moves intended to pair well but not all be jacks of all trades. That’s a bit ambitious in 2 weeks with 3 characters of this complexity :D
Very cool art and concept! movement feels great. Definitely agree that it would be good to see feedback, honestly thought the game was bugged I rarely took hits and never killed anything.
for 2 weeks there’s a lot here! and I like the way y’all handled communicating the prototype nature and intention within the game :)
