I love the gameplay and the semi rogue-like genre. The controls felt way too snappy, but once I got used to it the gameplay got much more enjoyable. I do have a mouse5 button, but I feel there should be consideration for those who dont have thumb buttons if you didnt include such an option. I the audio was very fitting too with the graphics. Rate my game too if it isnt any trouble: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1420593

I really liked this game. Mechanics are pretty fun. Though, additional work on movement wouldn't hurt. Overall, great job!

Check out my game too if you have time!

Definately, and yea, movement does need some more work. Thanks for trying the game out :)

Like a couple of people here, I also had a difficult time trying to figure out how to dodge the bullets. It took a little bit of testing but I figured out that the dash makes you immune to the bullets. Maybe include something that lets you know of this instead of relying on the player risking a level restart. This was a good game nonetheless and I got some enjoyment out of it!

Yea that's probably a good idea. Thanks for your feedback!! :)

Suggestions:

-You can make the dash button C or V as well. Since when people are using WASD it'd be easier for them to reach a button right under their finger..

-More feeling of juımping or game grasp could be done through camera shake or feeling when you are hitting the enemies.

Likes:

-I love the UI design.

-I love the game overall where you can dash and fight then go back to the level when you die. Hack n Slash vibes beautiful.

-I like how the story is presented.

Thank you for the game!

Yea F was not a good choice, we were gonna change it but we already recorded the voice line and it was very close to the deadline. So we didn't have time to change it. We will make sure to change after the jam is over. Thank you so much for trying this game out! :)

Typh13Submitted2 years ago

No problem! If you haven't tried out please try my submission too! I've already taken notes regarding the bugs and suggestions!

winterSteve25Developer2 years ago

This felt like a full game, not a game jam game at all. This was amazing and fit the theme so well. I had a lot of fun and the controls felt really natural. One thing I would recommend is being able to throw your sword at the bullets. Other than that, it was an amazing game, and I really loved the art style!

Thank you so much! It might have not been clear in the game but you are actually able to dodge bullets (immune) when you are dashing. Thanks for your feedback anyways! :)
