Almost :P I was at the big one shooting arrows and switches between frost and fire, but I wasn't paying attention to my health. Had 2 health items left, but forgot to use 'em in time xD

Nice game! I got stuck at the fires puzzle unfortunately, I turned all of them orange but nothing seemed to happen. Maybe I'm too dumb for it, in any case I like the top down style and you really nailed the camera so great job - just wish I'd gotten to the end!

There wasn't a symbol on the door, just an orange fire in front of it - it was right before the room with the different coloured skeletons, like room 3

did you manage to get to the end? I was a bit worried i might have made it too difficult lol 

Reply
RockAndRollGasStationSubmitted1 year ago

lol i did not but i'll try a few more times. it's definitely hard, but considering that + dodge roll... you have unlocked the "make a soulslike" achievement.

would you say its fair or is it too hard because it's unfair

Reply
RockAndRollGasStationSubmitted1 year ago

ehh, i think you could turn it down on the difficulty a bit, but if you can beat them easily... then maybe instead of turning down the difficulty do something to explain how to fight them.

Sadly don't have controller, is there a way to control it with the keyboard? I can move, and melee.

i forgot to add input for a keyboard to be able to aim and lock on and swap gems so it is unplayable without a controller im afraid.

Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox controller but still played, could get past the first 3 zombies, suppose with the controller it will be easier but still managed to play it. Love the concept of using fire to open ice doors and vice versa. Great job, well done!!

yeah, I focused on making it for a controller as it is easier to play I will be adding keyboard support but yeah without a controller you are unable to swap between the 2 gems and lock on to enemies.

Please note you need an Xbox controller to play this
Controls:
X: Attack
A: dash/dodge
B: Swap Gem
LT: hold to aim and lock on
RB: Heal
