Great game! Nice puzzles, I also liked the work on the audio! A well-thought gamedesign, and by the way, thanks for the save points ;)

Lots of potential, good job! I liked the ambience and style.

I didn't like the controls, just felt so unintuitive to me. Maybe I'm just used to the other scheme of "I'm walking forward and I rotate my heading with left/right".

I wish you could have had a little transition to what was being activated. I reached the section where I assumed I needed to bring all 4 blocks but didn't know what each switch did and couldn't figure out how to bring the last 2 from the start without lots of trial and error.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reviw, yeah, the controls were a little bit off, we should have used the mouse or the controller. The transition it's a good idea, thanks for sharing yours opinion

A really great and fun game! you can tell a lot of effort went into this! The graphics were incredible   and all the animations through out the level was really cool(especially the spiders moving)! really loved this, good job

Developer

Glad you like it!

Really liked the art style and music of this - was a bit of a cross between Runescape and Young Merlin. I unfortunately found the controls a little disorientating due to it using up, down, left and right keys but being at a diagonal angle. Really nice environment though!

Developer

Thanks, yeah, maybe it could be better to move with the mouse or with the controller, thanks for all the compliments.

Good job!!! you created interesting atmosfer and the 3d models seem realy good. I had some difficulties with the camera. Some times it bugged in some object and i didn't see what i was doing. You mb could zoom camera into the part of map where something changed when i'd press some button bc sometimes i didn't now whitch button did what i needed and then i tried to use every one and you have shifted movement by 90 degrees. But still very nice work!!!

Developer

Thank you for the review, yeah, the camera angle was a little bit problematic...

Neat one! I love the low polly graphics a lot. The atmosphere is really good, colors and sounds make you feel like in a dram. The camera angle felt a little bit, but really good job!

was nice! Also think like the others, that camera and controls could align a bit better to make things a bit easier :) Thanks for respawning the blocks, when I dropped it by accident into the water :D

Developer

Thank you! We wanted to give a more "orthogonal" view and controls, without it being orthogonal, but ended a bit weird :P

We tought about making it playable with a controller, but it was already too late 

Developer

Yeah, as it's already mentioned the Character control gives an off feeling, we thought too late of using the mouse instead of the keybord.

Submitted(+2)

Nice idea and 3D graphics! The Art, music, lighting, and effects all set the mood for a great game. The theme wasn't used for gameplay, but it was for the story and setting so nice!

Controls could have been a bit better, wish the directions lined up with the view. And trying to push the boxes mixed with the speed of the platforms became a bit cumbersome.

But overall one of my favorites so far!

Developer(+1)

We tried a tilted camera like diablo or similar games, but ended up being a bad choice with WASD controls. For sure having the possibility to use a joystick or a mouse to move would have been much better!

Submitted(+2)

Love the art, the post processing, the light! Just the movement that feels a bit weird, but it is doable! Really nice effects, it sets the mood perfectly. Keep it up! Well done!

Thank you so much! :D

What a wonderful game-world. I really like the art-style. I wondered what would happen when he woke up. I was expecting the character on the floor of a tavern or something. .. :-D

Still, well done!

Developer

I'm not hiding that the very first idea was that the character wasn't sleeping, but rather accidentally ate a toxic mushroom and went on a drug like trip >O<

Thank youu!
