The controls are nice, the atmosphere is very cool and I really love the pixel art!
What, no online multiplayer? haha Great job! One of the best games Ive seen.
Sadly I don't have a second player to play with, but tryed it alone.
I liked the idea and the controls. Graphics are cool too!
I think that with a second player, it's a nice game!
Rated! a 2 player game cool! I really light the atmosphere and lighting (light the red eyes in the darkness and the way the character goes all black in the darkness) great job! PLease check out my game when you can~ good day!
Very nice game for a week of work.
Positives:
- The art syle looks great and i like the use of the ilumination.
- The control of the character also feels nice, and i like things like one tap to the attack button to swipe and hold for the fireballs.
- The different things you can do.
Negatives:
- I don't really see how it fits the theme of the jam.
- Only one level (but understandable with only a week of work).
- A few bugs, many related to the ilumination (shadow disapering behind the floor?, shadows doesn't match character, in some different levels of illumination walls dissapear...), when you check the controls there is no way to go back (not that i have found), footsteeps works at the begining and then they go all over the map...
Overall pretty good looking game for a week of work, good job!
the shadow of the character is supposed to be the same as the construct. you aren't supposed to see a difference. as for the theme we went along have the game lie to you that the character might be there, more of deception between two characters, but i can see how it may not fit into the theme. There is a way back on the controls only but the screen layout made the return button be of the screen. i believe you can still see it slightly when you look top right corner when its not in full screen.
Are you referring bout the the white curved sprites as footsteps?
Thank you for the bug reports too. Much appreciated ^^
I had so much fun playing with my girlfriend, congrats!
That's awesome to hear! Let us know if you've got any thoughts about what we could do to improve the game. I'll make sure to take a look at your submission!
First of all awsome pixel art style, sound effects. I do like the mechanics of using darkness to sneak up on your opponents, but sometimes it gets harder to find my own player in the shadows. I get the little dust effects are indicators on where your players are, but still a bit counter intuitive since there are also the same random dust effects all over the map. Also... I need more friends to play this game *Sad pepe face*. Overall, it is a cute pvp game, hopefully you guys can expand on it further, this definitely has a lot of potential for an online pvp mode with like 8-10 ppl in one map, building bases and battle royale style.
Nice Game
