Amazing take on the theme! Audio and visuals were super slick and the boomerang mechanic was fun, notice some other people have mentioned damage feedback which is my only critique! I also wasn't sure if the boomerang does damage on the initial throw as well as the way back, so adding some visuals/sounds for that would definitely clear it up either way
Awesome style you've got, brings it all together! Very tricky to manage what is essentially a twin stick while blind. Considering how often you're in the dark, I think what this game needs most is some really clear and satisfying sound effects for basically everything you do, from throwing, collecting money, defeating enemies, even walking.
such an interesting concept, I love the re lighting of the torches. very well done!
Aesthetics are great, loved the into cutscene VERY much, haha. Looks great. Some more clear feedback on damage-taking and damage-doing would be great, but overall it's already very nice little game.
I agree there should be a bit more feedback, thank you for playing! glad you enjoyed
I loved the aesthetics and the idea of not seeing myself when I shoot. This is a great videogame idea :) Art style and initial cut scene are also beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing :)
Went for the high score, and ended up greatly surpassing it.
I would have liked better feedback for when an enemy takes damage. Some of the bigger enemies took a while to kill and I wasn't always sure if I was hitting them. More powers ups you can get later on would have been nice as well. And the music restarting when you get hit confused me at first, I thought I was dying.
The tutorial at the start as well as the main menu and everything, felt nicely polished.
Regardless of my complaints, it was still fun enough of a game for me to play for a while.
That's good advice thank you! I had bigger plans for the music system but ended up short on time so I definitely agree with you on that. I also agree with you on the feedback, could use some work to make it feel like you're actually doing damage. Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed :D
also I've just had a look, that's a great score well done!
The games pretty fun and I like the comedic yet serious sense of the story!
also the sfx are amazing
Thanks for playing :)
Love the progression and the colours used. I would have liked to always see my character while having the monsters be hidden by darkness. Interesting use of the theme!
The shop wouldn’t always open for me.
Congrats on your entry!
Thanks for playing!I was a bit torn whether or not to show the player at all times, but I thought it made more sense to have the boomerangs cast the light, but I do see your point. Thanks for the feedback :D
Great work and theme interpretation!
The art style and game in general is really polished, nicely done
I like this video game!
The theme of the game jam is respected : it's good
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed :)
Incredible work! Loved the art style, the intro story, and the gameplay, you've really nailed this!
Thanks for playing! and congrats on being top of the leaderboard :D
Nice implementation of theme
You also managed to make a working leaderboard and shop system on top of the main game good job.
