Great game! Loved the art and the music. I got to level 5. I like that is hard. One of the best I played so far. Thank you for making it!
Feel free to try and rate our game!
I'd say that you don't necessarily need to make the game easier but to make sure the difficulty doesn't feel out of place. For instance as the player you appear to be decked out in awesome armor and the bad guys seem to have weaker armor so in your head you feel like you should have a solid advantage especially in a game. Obviously game jam doesn't give time for art but if you appeared to be in just civilian clothing and the bad guys are in armor then it feels like you really got to earn your victory and in your head the difficulty makes sense due to your situation.
The pixel art is pretty nice and it has a great challenge due to the skill required

That was fun to play! The enemies are quite difficult to beat, gave it my all though! Good game :)
Nice game! Nice combat, with dodging and hitting the enemies, it feels like a skillful game. Also like the small comments poping up
from a fellow UE dev, 2D in UE is impressive, i loved it! i liked how u added a clone of mine as an enemy that made me feel like some potential lore could be going, i always laughed at "YOU USELESS FOOL" in the end. i loved it well done!
Thnx for playin. And yes lore will be coming after a month of work on the game coz people keep saying it could be more.
I needed to open it in a windows sandbox, because my antivirus always deleted it xD
but Overall a very cool game, it's a little to hard in my opinion, because i died really often, but nevertheless a cool game.
I definetly liked the music and the graphics of the game :)
This is a tough game! I liked the graphics and the movement, but I think the core criticism I have is with the enemies. Their AI is good, but a little too good. I think they should have been a little slower than the player, and knocked away when they are hit. That way, when you time your strikes right, you don't get hit unfairly and they don't stick on you like glue if they touch you. Other than that though, this was a great first project for 2D, hope to see more in the future!
Thnx for playing and I really enjoyed yours as well.
nice one! I glitch found :p
when going in arcade mode towards the see, it keeps falling infinitely
Oh damn Good find, Will fix TY for playing
:)
Funny and nice game ! grate job !
Nice game and graphics but I figured out that the enemy needs to be a certain range to be attacked.
First things first, the game was really hard for me to play for me.. I think it might be a skill issue from my side but I would like to ask you to tone it down a little bit. But leaving that aside, the game was good and had a very smooth gameplay experience. The game could use a bit of a feedback and effects while hitting. But once we get going in the game it is very much fun. And also good work with the art.
And a small suggestion, you could have added some doors which spawn allies to help us defeat the enemies which could make the game more in line with the theme as right now it is more like to fight and survive kinda game.
Once again really great work with the jam and you have wonderful game to show for your effort.
Have a great day! :
Thnx for playing and all the positive comments. I really do need to get started with updates XD.
i think there are 2 invisible plataforms in arcade mode? and when there's too many enemies on screen they start pilling up. I actually managed to get to the limbo by doing that lol. Also the soundtrack could loop
The theme implementation is really bad. You should not just put the theme into the story and call it a day; that's not how game jam themes work.
The sword system feels really unresponsive and there were multiple instances where my attacks didn't register. I couldn't managed to complete even the first level because of that. Also the enemies like to jump under you and launch you upwards which is not ideal.
Here are some ways you could improve the game overall:
- Add knockback to both the player and the enemy when hit, so the getting stuck thing you mentioned doesn't happen anymore.
- Make the UI less cluttered. I literally have no idea why there's so much random text on screen.
- If you make a pixel art game, make sure everything is pixel consistent. Because you used third party assets, this made your job much harder as you scaled up certain sprites. You could hide the issue with a pixelation effect.
- The enemies should either move slower or faster than the player, never at the same speed. Idk why but it just feels wrong like that.
- You can add a ton of juice to this game, like screen shake, hitstop, more flashes, a bunch of particles etc.
- Static camera follow makes the game feel like it was made by a beginner as it's a low effort solution to a very important aspect of the game.
There's probably a bunch of other things but I already said enough. Get to work because this game needs it.
Thnx for the in-depth feedback and your right this was the first time I ever touched 2D game creation. Things jus dont work the same as in 3D but as all others said too I have a lot of work to Finish here XD
I love the fighting mechanism, great work bro !
Awsome game !
Good work on this, could use more polish and testing. Found it very difficult, great work overall! c:
I really enjoyed the game but I will admit I found it very difficult and unfortunately couldn't finish level 3. The art is very well done. Great work on the jam!
Nice work. Could use some more testing and polish though.
