I really loved the music and the atmosphere in the Game.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really good game, really good theme and cool ambientation, the only thing I think it needs is some invencibility frames, the skulls hit me like 3 times in a row and the spikes the same
Thanks for playing! In the current build I'm working on I added 2 second immune frames~
The game is really good, congratulations. Just think that you could make some invincibility frames when the player get hit :DD
Thanks for playing! In the current build I added 2 sec immunity frames to the bosses. Having trouble making it work for enemies haha.
In my opinion one of the best games i've played in the jam: full-featured and nice use of layer masks which fits the theme nicely... I wished the sword at the beginning had a bit more range to make combat less tedious in the beginning but it also gave me a huge satisfaction when i got the hammer!
very well done! keep it up!
Thanks for playing! Maybe I can increase the sword length~ I'm trying to learn how to add some knock back too.
I'm stuck right in the beginning. I'm also on a laptop right now (no real mouse - just click pad) so that might be the reason. I can move, jump, and swing the sword but that's it. How do I get past or use the eye block and weapon block?
First you go to the left by pushing blocks~ Then you get a new item to go right*. Because of all of the environment particles, my game lags on slower computers too. Thanks for trying~
The melee attack control could use some work, I find it quite hard to gauge how far my attack is. Perhaps adding some particle effect for the attack would help a ton. In later stage, the game basically turns into a twinstick platformer???? I find it amusing and super creative that you basically introduce me to a new genre! Overall, I find it enjoyable!
Thanks for playing! It was my first time trying to do a melee attack~ In my next Halloween jam I will try and improve it with everyone's suggestions! I like the hammer controls with platforming too :D
WOW!!This is one of the best games I've played in this jam..Everything fits out together perfectly..The soundtrack is relaxing and so are the visuals..However, enemies felt a little hard to beat..Took me about 10 tries to get through the first boss..But, that feeling of accomplishment was amazing..
Please make this into a full game :)
Cheers!
Thanks for playing! I wanted to go for a chill adventure, glad you liked the music (some people don't haha). In the newest build I added immunity frames to the bosses, and trying to learn knock back for the regular enemies. My goal is to make a full game after this Halloween jam that uses similar controls/vibe~
You could use Rigidbody2D.AddForce () on the enemy when they get hit.
pretty neat :)
Thanks :)
The game is very nice but a little too long for a gamejam game in my opinion. I got stuck waaaay too soon Dx
But you did a great job and I still had fun
Thanks for playing! I will add some better visual hints and guides in the environments before my next Halloween jam.
I loved the "hwah" sound on the sword swing, overall I loved the environment and setting of music, the colors are coming nicely together, I'd give it an A+
Thanks! It was fun to do :) I just recorded on my smartphone.
This is surely a solid entry for this game jam! I'm not going too spend too much time talking about the art or the audio, you already know those are awesome.
The problems I had with the game revolved around the difficulty, it was too hard, and not in a good way (at least not for me). First, the shield layer would pulse to reveal platforms, that made me wait frequently or not know what I was jumping at sometimes, which made me take damage based on luck. Second, the character attack direction was fixed by it's movement, and not its mouse orientation (why use the mouse button if it doesn't direct the attack?).
But those are just minor problems, the gameplay was really enjoyable, I loved the RPG style where you collect new items to go through known places, it also fit the theme well!
Thanks for the feedback! The next build of the game has a 2 second immunity frame when fighting the bosses (so hopefully they can't 1hit the player). I'm also trying to figure out a knock back on regular enemies now~
i love the art work!!
Thanks for playing~!
Really loved this one ! Nice atmosphere and graphics. The first boss took me a while to kill but after watching the video I really wanted to throw that axe ! ;)
Thanks for trying! The newest build right now has 2sec immunity frames when fighting the bosses, so hopefully they are easier now. Trying to learn knock back now.
Good game! One of the best I played.
Thanks a bunch for playing!
This is actually a pretty good game man! the atmosphere is great, the upgrade system is solid, and the level design is impressive. is it just me, or did people beat the game without the music. when I found this out, it made a huge difference.
But I have noticed a few things about the player that just doesn't feel right.
Thanks for the awesome suggestions. In the current build I changed the collision detection, also I added 2 sec immunity frames with the boss fights, maybe I did it in a weird way. I made the player collider turn off for 2 sec when the boss hits once. Thanks for the feedback~
I really enjoyed this entry! The masking effect was a nice touch. I had a little trouble with taking multiple damage hits from enemies (especially the big bosses) - maybe a brief period of invulnerability between taking damage? And I wasn't able to enter the room with the big skull with the two little skulls flanking him - I saw the boss and backtracked, but then could not get past the constant projectiles to get back into the room. Perhaps they could de-aggro if you wander far enough, or prevent the projectiles from going through the wall? I didn't quite finish it, but enjoyed what I played and will probably go back and try again after the jam rating period is over (trying to rate as many as I can in the meantime.) Beautiful art (and nice subtle effects, like the snow falling off the plants as you jostled past them) and a very cool entry. No pun intended!
Thanks for playing! In the current build I added a 2sec immunity time when fighting bosses. (though i think I need to find a better method, seems buggy). Thanks for all the awesome feedback!
Good game! I liked the small metroidvania feel and the knight's feather reminded me of Madeline's hair from Celeste. The graphics looked pretty good and the sound was nice. I think making the shield's vision range more consistent but still pulsing might have been a good idea, and maybe making the melee attack's range more obvious. Good work overall.
Thanks for checking out my game! I think I will make the shield vision radius stay bigger/shrink less in the next build. Thanks for the feedback.
Rated. My english is very bab. Great game and very good job.
Thanks for playing! English is difficult~
That was definitely one of the better experiences. The game was visually very appealing. Especially the moving bushes when you pass by gave an immersive feeling.
The combination of WASD and mouse attack made it a little bit hard to fight and the normal mobs were a bigger challenge than the skull.
Thanks for playing~ I'm so used to WASD with space jump and mouse attacking from playing world of warcraft back in the day haha. I hope I can learn how to allow keymapping someday.
