A pretty cool game. Having played a load of people's games though I've come to realise how bad I am at gaming :( They're all so hard!
Lol, as one of the devs, we should've made a walk-through, because what to do isn't too obvious in a lot of places. I get stuck at times in games I play, and youtube walkthroughs get me through the day.
Fun game! I liked the sprites in this game! Only things it was missing was sound effects for the character. (walking, jumping, slashing, etc) I really enjoyed this game though! Nice job!
Very good game! I enjoyed the small challenges and the animations are really nice. I missed some background music but overall really good entry! Would appreciate if you checked out my game :)
Thank you! Will check it out! :)
Nice game! I loved the animations and even when the jumping against the walls was a little funny, I had a lot of fun just climbing through walls so see if I was able to find any secret passages or something like that, probably a good thing to add in the future! congratulations!
I will try adding it next time. Thank you for the amazing idea!
The game is fun, the animations are spectacular!
Btw, i don't know if this was intended or if it's a bug, but when you wall jump, you can just hug the wall and the character will climb it by keeping jumping on that same wall, instead of jumping to the other one. I found the way he does that pretty hilarious!! XD
Thank you for playing! Honestly, it wasn't what we set out to make, but once we had this, and a lot more work on our plate, we were like "Eh, it isn't so bad".
Pretty cool. I like the top left control graphics and the attack animation. Nice job.
Nice mechanic!
Character is cool, leaves me wanting a few more animations! I think there could be some more clarity in your levels, such as where the buzz saws will turn/when an enemy can actually see you, but there’s a lot of good stuff in here. Nice game!
Thanks for the feedback! The buzzsaws slowing down before stopping would've been great. Somehow I didn't have that idea until after the jam. Its such a small detail, but it adds so much more to the design.
Great! The walljump could be better, but overall it's a fun experience :D
Of course someone would take inspiration of Katana Zero !
Well. Done. Really ! It lacks a bit of music (like a lot), but even though, the game is clean ! Easy mecanics, levels are great...well done !
Haha! I played their soundtrack on repeat while working on the game. Its been a month since I've played it but I'm still riding that high!
Love the animations and character design! The movement controls could be further polished but overall a great submission! Hope you could check out my submission too!
I will! Thank you for playing! :)
Fun game! The combat feels really satisfying when you get it right, and the graphics are really well done. One issue is that the wall jumping can feel almost glitchy when you're going in the wrong direction, and the Deja Fu mechanic could be a little more intuitive. With some more polish, this would be a phenomenal action game.
I liked the character design and the animations, and the theme of the game was well done. The movement felt a bit too "floaty" if that makes sense, and wall jumping was a bit buggy, but overall nicely done.
At first i wasn't quite sure how "Deja Fu" works, maybe provide a small tutorial later. Otherwise nice take! Really like the combination.
Agreed. I asked a few friends to test the game out after the jam and all of them had issues figuring it out or took their time. The comments reflect that too. I should include a walkthrough, for the tutorial levels atleast, next time.
The game is short and sweet, and the possibility to choose your level it's very handy. But i think there are some issues: the "time point" seems to be parented to the main character, so it moves when it shouldn't, and sometimes it's really hard to avoid projectiles, since they are already there when you fall
I enjoyed this game! Only thing is I kind of struggled with the wall jumping sometimes. Good work!
Awesome game! Graphics and animations were well done. Could've used a bit more audio and music, it felt very minimalistic (which is still good). I loved the animation for the rewind, that was really cool. The game was pretty easy to play and was pretty fun up until I hit the level with the low wall with the blade that I didn't know how to move past. Wall-jumping seemed a little weird and fast, and I felt like the game really could've used a ducking feature to dodge bullets, I think that'd be cool. Anyways, you did an awesome job! Great work!
I should've really put up a better tutorial for the saw part, or maybe a walk-through. Looks like a lot of people had trouble there. Copy pasting from earlier:
"Deja Fu just teleports you back in time right? So when the saw moves to the absolute right, make sure to stand just to the left of it. When the the saw starts moving to the left, run away from it and use deja fu to teleport past the saw, to where you were when the saw was to the right(after the saw moves away from that location)! "
Thanks for checking out my game! :)
Ohhhhh I see how it works now, that's a clever level design!
I liked the graphics, minimalistic and nice! Also I really liked your gameplay!
Fun concept (especially the rewind mechanic) and good graphics, player movement is kinda jerky but that may just be because of my 144hz monitor and the game is 60. overall pretty good.
Out of curiosity, what engine did you use?
We used the godot game engine, with no prior experience with it. It was surprisingly simple (and fun!) to build in.
Anyway, thank you for playing! I was on my way to look at your game. :)
Hey i really like your game but i cant seem to pass the second saw on the second level the dejafu just brings me back i cant jump over it...mind telling my how to do it? I really cant get it to work. Otherwise the game overall is a great idea!
Hey, sorry I hadn't seem your comment earlier.
Deja Fu just teleports you back in time right? So when the saw moves to the absolute right, make sure to stand right behind it. When the the saw starts moving to the left, run away from it and use deja fu to teleport past the saw, to where you were when the saw was to the right!
Ok thanks i will try it later!
