Was the resolution a challenge?

Never used Phaser 3, it's nice.

Love this game… saw it on a stream and had to go try it myself. Quite a bit of a learning curve for each of the heroes, but once you figure it out, it’s a great puzzler!

Submitted

This is good fun. It's just hard to understand at first what each hero can do.

Submitted

really fun once you figure it out, but it took me a while to understand what every hero does and the controls

It's Hero Time!   The voice was spot on for early console/coin-op game voice fx. :) 

Submitted

Lovely art and great gameplay. Well done!

Submitted

Feels like a full game !

Great concept and story.

It may be a little confusing at start ;)

A lot of things to like about this game. The art and the sound are great and the puzzles are genuinely enjoyable. I'm going to finish playing this one later. It's true that figuring out that first level is a bit of a pain but on the following levels, figuring out the heroes becomes part of the fun. Maybe, rather than a manual, what it really needs is a few extra levels with almost zero difficulty, so you learn what to do through experience instead of trying everything. Nice work!

Submitted

Neat! Once you understand how the heroes work, it becomes a relatively challenging puzzle.

Great puzzle game! I like that whenever a new hero is available, there's an easy level which basically shows the correct way to use the hero.

Submitted

It's a little difficult to understand how to play the first two levels, but then the mechanics become clear and fun. Nice little puzzle.

Submitted

Really cute artstyle and fun gameplay! 

Submitted

Cool framing for a puzzle game. It took me a bit to realize how to control the heroes at first, but once I got past it all the controls for the later heroes felt quite straight-forward. I enjoyed playing this.

It was pretty difficult for me to understand how to play. But that earrape voice kept me playing 😂.

Developer

Haha! Sorry

Submitted

This really is a fun game when you realize whats going on. I liked the graphics and the concept worked well. -oneak

ITS HERO TIME!
Very intrestin as for me, like it)

Submitted

It’s a great game ! Loved the visuals and the sounds. It’d be great to have a tutorial in the beginning, as I couldn’t understand the mechanics at all and had to fail a bunch of times in order to understand what was going on. But overall a really solid game !

Developer

Thanks. I'm not up on tutorials, I always feel the game should teach you by letting you play. The idea was to let people fail, the levels were designed to guide you through each Hero. Like Fissure; there were 2 levels, one with a single hostage and one with a single enemy. The idea was to teach the player that Fissure could save hostages and kill enemies through those.

Submitted

Great puzzle gameplay! Really intuitive tutorialization of the new heroes as well. Unfortunately I got softlocked on a level where there was no available use for Shockwave :(
Could use a quick restart button perhaps?

The only real negative was the sound effects, they gave me a chuckle at first but grew annoying pretty quickly. Overall a really fun game, good entry :)

Developer

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I was sure about this thing with music at least, but was no time to redo implementation :)

Submitted

Cool game! It was especially interesting to learn which hero did what and the strategy was fun! Great job.

Submitted

Interesting idea, hard to catch how to play at firsts levels.

Authentic 64x64, well done!

Personally i didn't like the distorted "It's hero time." every single attempt, nice music, nice SFX.

Best regards!

Developer

That was my idea to play "It's hero time" every round. Maybe not my best idea.

really fun puzzles and lovely lil hero designs!
