Very involving mechanics ^^

Developer

TY! I'm glad you liked it.

The concept is so strong !! It was so hard for my brain to keep up, but you keep getting better and better. One of my favorites. Really fits the theme and feels like a perfect entry for this jam. 
Only things I would change is the scoring system, as the enemy spawns are random maybe making it a combo of meters traveled + enemies killed would look more fair to me.

Good job !

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the feedback!! I'm glad you had fun. Yeah the scoring is broken! It's supposed to add points overtime so the longer you survive the longer the score but somehow it broke on the last build and I didn't noticed :(

Submitted(+1)

han always a bummer to miss last build stuff. But hey, as it was my only feedback, it's perfect then ! :D

What an awesome game! Art is just incredible, every particle, every move, when you die and all the pieces regenerate back together just feels so good and hitting enemies is SO satisfying, really creative concept for the gameplay too, I've never seen anything like it before and it really works and is addicting, I do think the game speed should be lowered a small bit to give you a bit more time to react but still it's very fun to create a good setup where you're safe from every threat, highscore of 50, I can't do better lol, really excellent work and stellar artwork!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I'm really glad you had fun with it. I will add your score to the tracker :)

Wow such an incredebly polished game, it is soo good! Awesome vibes! After the 4th loop though my head just can't process what to to hahaha. I will recommend it to some collegues, they must see this!

Developer

Wow thanks! I'm happy people is enjoying it despite being kinda hard. And big thanks for sharing it, it helps me a lot :)

Submitted(+1)

Aaaah such a good game! Everything is so polished! I just wish switching skills wouldn’t consume mana and that obstacles wouldn’t spawn twice in a row (how you do jump over that?). Aside from that, had a lot of fun, even managed to kill aerial monsters twice – so satisfying! image.png

Developer(+1)

Wow new highscore, nice!!!! Yeah I wish I had more time to tweak the gameplay and progression so it doesn't do stuff that feels unfair but I decided to focus on gamefeel instead. The mana decision was to avoid spamming but I think there's probably a better way to do that. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I see, yeah we all had to prioritize some features over others c’: It definitely paid off, the game feel is what makes this game stands out so much! About the spamming, I think the game is fast enough already that it’s not really an issue imo. We don’t have much time to see the threat, check our skills, and choose one that works. Being able to freely switch would make the game more fair, but that’s just my opinion ^^

Pretty hard (for) me but amazing idea and execution

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Took me a bit to understand how to play and even then, I found it very difficult and only got a high score of 30, but I really enjoyed it regardless. Really well done :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you had fun with it! I'll add you highscore to the tracker :)

Submitted(+1)

Everything in this game seems to be just right! Music, sounds, graphics, flow - it all just goes together so well! Managed score 60, although the RNG can ruin your perfect run in no time. The only thing I miss is a pause button :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah there's a bug with the scoring, it's supposed to also give you points for surviving for longer times, so the RNG of enemy spawning doesn't influence that much,  but somehow I missed that it was not working on the final build. No pause button because you are trapped in the loop >=)

Great idea! But at first i cant get the rule of the game.. Maybe making a tutorial would be better

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I really wanted to add a tutorial but I had no time left and decided to focus on gamefeel instead. It's quick enough that you can get it by trial and error I think but is also kinda hard.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome looking and sounding, game is difficult but I think it's just me being bad.

Developer

Thanks! It is a little on the hard side but I really wanted it to be a challenge.

Super cool idea that meshes well with the theme! I liked the art and the sound effects were very satisfying. It was a bit of a challenging start, but I got a few good moves in. Great submission!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you had fun with it!

Very good interpretation of a loop, it is really fun.

Developer

I'm glad you had fun!

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept! Love the way it loops back in time once you lose, really feels like you're looping over and over

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Love this game so much, a very nice way to interpret the theme, if you dont  pay full attention, you can easily mess up! me personally i really loved the SFX for some reason, and the artstyle is really cool aswell. Overall a really nice game!

Developer

Thanks for the word! I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
