Nice little game, but very cheeseble by accident, I just ran to the boss shooting everywhere and noticed I can just shoot the boss from outside the arena and they got damaged.

Lack of somewhat compelling ending is a little sad too, but overall really not bad!

Developer

Thanks for feedback. I wanted to make some kind of ending, but unfortunately I didn't have time. I had a lot of problems with the export.

Submitted

Really good bosses attack Peters, remind me a lot of the fights on undertake. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. You're right, I got some inspiration from undertale.

Submitted

Nice bosses and good bullet hell. The game feels like a good challenge! Good

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

Nice entry, really difficult bosses! I enjoyed the difficulty, but I'd say instantly dying from touching the bosses can be a bit too punishing. The controls felt nice and responsive, which allows you to move and dodge even if the bosses attacks are really fast, it makes for a nice, fast-paced experience. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I intend to finish and adjust the boss and the game in general after the jam.

Submitted

Game looks  good ans bosses good! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, i'm glad you enjoyed my game.

Submitted

fun game!

i like the loot from the bosses, but switching the weapons felt kind of useless, because the fire wand was just better than the other weapon and theres not really a reason to use it

the bosses are cool, i wish there were some more attacks, but the ones that were there were actually really cool and fun to dodge!

game looks good, but i think it needs some more sound effects, overall though, really nice game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, you are right about the weapons, the only thing I would use the shuriken for would be on the second boss when he is moving. Also i wanted to improve the sound effects, but I had a problem with the export, so I couldn't do it.

Submitted

Its quite challenging but in a fun way. I personally like difficult games but as a fellow developer myself i think you could adjust the difficulty curve which would open it up for other users.

Thought the attack patterns for the first boss were quite interesting, only thing I'd suggest changing would be to slow down the waves as I feel like they're too fast to consistently avoid. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback and for the advice

The game is fun and it took me a lot of time to finish it, which is good but also bad. I would personaly make the bosses bit easier and more of them, but other than that its a very good game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

Fun challenge with responsive controls but the amount of damage on some projectiles are just way more scary than they look, like the waterfall attack does little damage but the little balls of water do like a quarter of my health. Good Challenge but it definitely is a challenge at that, the graphics and response time is nice too.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, in fact the water balls should do the same damage as the wave attack, but there was a bug that I didn't manage to fix in time, and I hoped no one would notice but you did :D

Submitted

Lol I gotcha, it was a fun game regardless. Good Work!

Submitted

Pretty cool! It’s a little strange to have to beat the first boss twice to progress to the second boss. Also a little rough to have to restart the whole game when you die, quite tough. I didn’t get much farther than the second boss because of this, as this was a little too punishing for me.

I really love the ‘wave’ attack pattern of the first boss. It forces the player to do some cool movement, really nice!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely include your advice and everyone else's into the game when the jam is over.

Submitted

I tried playing the web version, but for some reason it dropped down to like 1 fps in the starting room and I couldn't really progress. I decided not to leave a rating because I didn't really play the game, but I wanted to let you know it might be bugged in some browsers. The art in the screenshots looks cool though :)

Developer (1 edit)

I am sorry to hear that, maybe try chrome it should work. I will definitely look what could go wrong after the jam, thanks for noticing. 

Submitted

No problem, it's the nature of a jam project :) I'll give it another go later on my other system and see if it works for me

Submitted

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I managed to play your game in a different browser :) 

It could maybe use a little bit of balancing, but overall it was pretty fun! Nice work!

Submitted

The difficulty of Boos is a bit high,

holding down the left button cannot shoot continuously, which is a bit troublesome

The second boss was too hard for me to find a spot where I could dodge the attacks. And I often forgot to fire when I was dodging attacks. But overall it was fun and challenging! (btw I missed submitting my game on the event page, it won't be rated but I'd still like some feedback :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely check out your game. 

Submitted

Interesting boss design, but I would definitely work on balancing the difficulty, as the first boss seems punishingly hard. I would also recommend allowing the character to auto-fire when you hold LMB, rather than having to click incessantly. But overall, this is a nice start!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, the auto fire is good idea, I will definitely implement this to the game. 

Submitted

Boss attacks are funny and let me run run run. But I'm too bad. :-( 

Developer

I believe in you you can do it!!! 

Submitted

Fun but very hard, I think the music was bugged in the web build, the art was nice.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, you are right the music is bugged. 

Submitted

Really hard. the music fits the world and the art was fine; The bosses need some major reworks, they are way too hard and your health is way too low.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I made the bosses difficult on purpose, but I probably did them too much difficult as I am looking at the comments. :D
