Really enjoyed the small experience, it fits nicely for a game jam. What I liked the most was the story. It was well explained and felt like we were part of a story, well done! :)
Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy
I like the little world you built with this. It was pretty enjoyable to explore and collect things while listening to the great music too :)
I nearly quit out early on as I was getting beaten up without knowing what I was even supposed to do or how to fight back but then I died and understood. I think the frog needs a bigger trigger box - or are you perhaps using raycasting? It mentioned I needed to be facing him. It was hard to get that to trigger.
I would have liked a HUD display for the runes to know how many I had and the movement felt, not so much fast as slidy - I think maybe you need to speed up her animation so it matches the amount of ground covered.
My first thought was to add them to the hud same as lives and cogs, but then I decided to do it differently. When you press R near the stone circle it will activate as many runes as you are carrying, lighting them up. That way you can see how many you still need.
As for talking to the frog and the sliding movement, I'll change that after rating is over. I'm just glad I got everything working as it is inside the timeframe of the jam. This was actually my first action type game, with movement, AI, and what not. Before this I only made a couple of simple games for young kids (counting, animal sounds, alphabet, memory).
Short and good game. The music is a bit loud and the robot hit box is a bit bigger than the sprite. Other than that good work!
Oh and one more thing, I recommend changing the name of your game to something else, as "death is only the beginning" is a theme of the game jam and your story includes robots and alien planets.
The music is loud. You might want to turn the decibals down a bunch. Art looks nice. I'm a bit lost on what is the goal? I would suggest putting the frog dude near where you spawn. I had all the stones collected before talking to him and I couldn't do anything else.
I really dig the characters you made, the Frog especially. The robot's dancing after being hit was chef's kiss. I didn't really understand what was happening at first though. I was just dropped into a group of robots with no explanation. Got a little confused there but caught on when I became a ghost. The movement does feel a little weird though, maybe the colliders are to big or something, can't put my finger on it. All around a great entry!
Great game, the graphics and the story was Great but i felt The collision and sorting of object was a little off. Nice work!!
Cool art and I like the puzzle aspect! Great submission! I’ve rated your game. I hope that you’ll check out and rate my submission as well. :-)
Fantastic graphics! In a second I thought it was even harder than my game, but I understood the afterlife gimmick and it was pretty nice in the story. I found the collision with the robots a little too big, but I enjoyed getting my cogs :-D
nicee art style. It could be more clear about getting hit from enemy and is interaction from behind or front but i like the idea
Nice job, the aesthetics were really well done. But I was confused on the seconds level on what had to be done after collecting all the gears.
Good job man, I liked the phases of the game. It was fun in general.
There was some confusing parts but not so much that would make me stop playing. I could finish the game at first try, which is good. I didn't see any bugs or glitches.
It was fun until I died. After that I couldn't get how to revive my self
