What an amazing jam game. It's fun and incredibly well polished, considering the short time in which it has been made. Bravo!

Awesome game! I think it's the most polished game I've seen on this jam. It's challenging for sure, but just the way I like it. The music and visuals are great too.

Incredibly fun, congratulations!

I re-bound the keys to have a better ergonomics and it's great. I don't know if I have played too little, but I want new powers too... xD

Unfortunately the game bugged after a while and I couldn't move anymore :(

Hi!


Thank you for playing!

Have you tried any of the accessibility options? :)

Submitted(+1)

Played and rated. One of the best submissions for sure!

Pros

  • Great art visuals
  • Great sound effects and music
  • Interesting combat

Cons

  • The drain blood skill was not working on my side (keyboard)
  • I didn't feel stronger as we progress, it got repetitive

Overall an amazing submission that only lacks variance of player gameplay, very well done!

Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Hi!


Thank you for playing!

As for the cons, did you play on the webbuild? We had a minor fix before the deadline but apparently we forgot to rebuild the webbuild before submitting it, I hotfixed the build and placed the new one just a couple of minutes before you commented, so unfortunately you got to play on the build with the bug still :D

Besides that, the idea of the game is that you're the boss and you're playing from the boss' perspectives from any video game; the player comes to fight you and either wins and you die; their story progresses, or the player loses and gets to go back to the save file and tries again. The boss generally is not the character getting stronger, it's the player who will take some time to grind, buy stronger items, whatever is required when they get stuck on a boss. It's pretty much the same here, but from the other perspective :)

I've added your game to my queue!

Yes I played on the WebGL build. Will try the fixed version later then, it was a great game :)

Great game! Really love the art style especially the attack of the mage was phenomenal! I did run into a bug tho I think. In the fight with 3 enemies I killed the sword guy and then I died. Upon restart I could no longer damage him and I just got the drain blood prompt on him but he kept on wailing on me. °^^ I also find it rather frustrating for how long the non sword people are invincible I would prefer if only one at a time could be invincible maybe if the sword guy protects one of them or something? Oh and if you change the camera shake you can never change back to normal °^^ It goes none light overloaded overloaded or something like that.

I really enjoyed playing your game. Beautiful graphics and excellent gameplay.

This is an incredible game! You can definately tell that 4 people worked hard to get the game to this level of quality in 10 days. Not only that, but every aspect of the game melds together so well to create a complete experience. If this is the first time you guys have made a game together, I couldn't tell. The teamwork definately shows. I can understand that the difficulty might not be quite some people's cup of tea, but I believe it's a perfect balance of seeing new mechanics and being able to deal with the previous mechanics at the same time.

I had a lot of fun playing, I could definitely see this game becoming something people would pay $10 if the idea was expanded upon.

Nice game, fun to play, didn't have much time to play it, but still had fun playing it.

Great game! The animation is awesome and the story was fun. The game is very well built. Nothing buggy about it and the controls were very well balanced. I couldn't get to the end. I'm not a great player. Haha.

Glad you enjoyed it! We have some accessibility options in the main menu if you want to experience the end of the game :)

Wow, this is an excellent submission! The art looks great and I liked the breaking the 4th wall story. Also, absolutely loved that you had an accessibility option for player damage. I tried it at it's default state and couldn't beat the second to last fight. Then I just cranked it up and I was able to complete the rest of it and see the story. Incredible work to your whole team!
