Ok, this one was too good. Why it reminds me of blasphemous + death door? I dunno. 

catched a bug on the last boss, where he moves into the corner forever

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I've never played deaths door, but it's on my to do list. Blasphemous is great though!

We've had a couple of people run into that bug unfortunately. I already have a fix, I just have to wait until the jam is over to push the change. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Very enjoyable game. I loved the variety of the bosses, and specially the mechanics of the last one. Amazing :)  

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

This is such a fun game! It's both a chill out and a stress inducing game at the same time!  The bosses are very well done, big shoutout to the snowman and mad accorn!  The audio fits really well with the asthetic!


Would love to see this getting worked on after this jam! Cause if this is after 1 month I'd love to see what can we done with 3 months!

Developer(+1)

Wow, thank you very much! It's awesome to hear about peoples favorite bosses, it makes me feel like I did something right on the design front lol.

We definitely have a post jam bug fix version planned, but the game seems to be drawing a really good response, so we may consider doing a bit more with it :) Thanks for the very kind words!

Submitted

Very fun game! The bosses are well done and polished. The art looks great and music sounds great! I’ve got nothing else to say lol

Developer

Thank you so much! I take your speechlessness as a compliment lol :)

Submitted

Really fun game to play with interesting boss design, I especially enjoyed the snowman. The art and sounds all compliment eachother really well. 

Developer

Thank you for the very kind words, I hope you enjoyed yourself :)

Submitted

I fought that one boss the wrong way and it took me 3rd tries for me to learn to fight it.
Some bosses are more vary than other bosses.
But the game is very good, the visual and sounds fit very well.

Developer

Thanks for for playing! There have been a few people who have had a bit of trouble figuring out some of the fights, I'll probably try to make things a bit clearer in a post jam version. Thanks for the kind words!

Beautiful art. Too bad i didn’t how to beat the first boss. I couldn’t even damage the thing. So idk how the game goes after the first stage.

Developer

Thank you :) the bosses appear in a random order, so if you had trouble with the first one you tried, you can always do a second run and see if you get better luck. Either way, thanks for giving it a try!

Ah, i see. It was the snowman boss. After minutes of trying to hit it, i noticed its’ hp wasn’t going down. So i tried trying to discover its hitbox. I tried every part but i couldn’t find it at all. So i just gave up and let my char die.

Developer

Oh gotcha, the snowman needs to be knocked down by raising a pillar beneath him before he can be damaged. I was a little worried that it might not be obvious enough though. Thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

10/10 such a polished well-made game! Good job :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

Wonderful game!

Did 2 regular playthroughs and a Challenge playthrough. Not gonna attempt no hit, for now...

Tight Controls, meaningful upgrades, very nice boss design,

The blob could use a bit of telegraphing in their attacks, but other then that, all the bosses were very fun to fight.

The visuals are a joy to look at, and the animations have a TON of character to them.

Music and sounds also fit the game well.

Very, very nice game!

Developer(+1)

Wow, thank you very much! No hit is pretty tough imo, I've gotten really close, but I've never pulled it off lol. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for playing :)

Submitted

Really great work. Amazing visuals and boss design. The blob is incredibly well-done with all its forms and attack variations. The game feels very polished. I had a lot of fun. Thank you for that.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself!

That's gotta be one of my favorite entries so far! The controls are very tight and responsive and the bosses are so fun and balanced. It is truly a joy to play. Very cool mechanics, the snowman one I discovered by accident, big "ooooooooh" moment. Art and music also very pleasing, complementing each other. Nice work! Consider playing our entry (:

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was worried people might not figure out the snowman, but it seems like my worries were unfounded :) Thanks for playing!

I'll be playing a bunch of games when I get off of work, I'll be happy to give yours a try!

Submitted(+1)

Please do! I'm sure you'll like it as I know you have similar values when it comes to games :D

A diverse and fabulous visual range. The bosses are beautifully executed and varied, and it's interesting to fight with each of them. An exemplary game.The penguin was unexpected and funny.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you got a kick out of the penguin, it made me laugh when I was drawing it :) Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Damn... I loved e-ve-ry-thing about this game.

The boss fights where smart, nicely balanced. The art and the music did a good job. The user experience and controls where top notch.

GG, really !

Developer

Wow, thank you so much! Im glad to hear the controls were good for you. It's always difficult to make a control scheme that people like lol. I appreciate the kind words!

Submitted

Game art is really neat, and the boss design are very cool, especially the Corrupted Jam boss,  turning it into a cube is a very good detail! 

Developer

Thank you! I was really happy about the way the slime came out! Thanks so much for playing!

Submitted

The game is beatifull, and a lot of fun, I loved the ice boss (and I hate the acorn one), congrats!

Developer

Thank you! We tried to make them al a little unique, so I'm glad you found something to love (and hate lol). Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Tight gameplay. Great art, especially the water boss. Awesome boss rush, I wish the theme played more of a role. Great work!

Developer

Thank you very much! Yeah we sorta iterated away from the theme without realizing it during development. Thanks for playing, and glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Awesome game, i just missed a better usage of the theme

Developer

Thanks for playing! Our early ideas fit the theme a bit better, but unfortunately the implementation strayed a bit during development... Regardless I hope you enjoyed the game :)

Submitted

A perfect game. Congratulations, I had a great time with your game! The tree boss was the most fun!

Developer

Thank you, we had a great time designing the bosses! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
