lacks a bit of sound ! Overall it's good, the game would need a bit more rhythm to it, but the art is veery very beautiful !

Developer

Thanks, I'm happy you like it :) i uploaded updated version of the game that will get music and sound effects in the next days

Submitted

The concept is great, but I think it needs more work.

Here I leave some suggestions to improve your game:

  • Add some medieval or fantasy music.
  • Add some sound effects (when shooting, climbing, losing and killing enemies).
  • Change the moving mechanics because the seem to be broken (it could be that I didn't understood the mechanics).

For the rest, the game is incredibly fun.

Thanks, I appreciate it

As for the movement goes, i uploaded updated version with improved and more fluent movement, and music is coming soon too

Submitted

Fun game! Would be nice to see it updated with more  fluid controls because I really like the concept.

Developer(+1)

You can check out the updated version with exactly what you said :) also music coming soon

Submitted

Very fun and creative. The only thing I missed is the down movement to dodge, sometimes if you climb too fast you will be trapped n the top and cannot dodge the enemies

Developer

The updated version already has that + some bug fixes, if you want you can check it out :)

Submitted

Very nice game! It's a really interesting take on the theme with this climbing shooter. Would be nice with some more feedback (a telegraphed attack for the bad guys would be cool as our capacity of movement is very limited). Eager to see a version with sound! Wonder how it could be port on the phone? Touch and the left to climb and touch on the left to shoot?

Very nice job, keep creating games!

Thanks for the comment! Actually, i posted the updated verison with a more fluent movement, and very soon I'll add sound. Just wanted to ask what you mean with telegraphed attack?

Submitted

Oh nice! I mean, getting an animation/visual effect/sound effect that warns the player that the ennemie will attack soon. This is used so taht the player can react. Here's a nice from Mark brown about this subject : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8T6Ul4aHTI

Great video, will use the knowledge on next projects

I really love the art and the character animations for this game! But I think it would've been better if you let the character climb down as well as up, to dodge projectiles better. I get to a point where there's 4 enemies shooting fireballs at me simultaneously, and I'd love to have a little more freedom to move around instead of taking them all at once.

Having some music and SFX would really add to the experience, as well. But you definitely have a great idea coming along, good work!

Developer

Currently working on that :) thanks for the review

Submitted

Hi nice looking game and matches the theme. Did you do all the artwork? I'm pretty new to this and don't know how many people do or not. I like it anyway.

There must be a design change you could make that allows you to move more fluidly. Perhaps the magic bullets could have some randomness to them.

Developer(+1)

I did most of the artwork myself, only the character was premade and even that I changed and made animations. Thanks for feedback, I will certainly look into making movement more fluid

Submitted

Understandable about the character and great job with the rest then :)

Submitted

Great concept and good job on the theme. The art is also really solid. I think the climbing could be a little more fluid, but I enjoyed it. Great game!

Submitted

I really like your game! I don't know if it's on purpose, but sometimes when I press w the character doesn't move forward and I have to shoot so that the w key actually does something. I'm playing on full screen so it shouldn't be that the game is out of focus.

Submitted(+1)

Same thing happened to me,it was when I got to the Wizards I could no longer use the W key to go up and then I would have to shoot Wizards before being able to move up

Thanks, I will try to expand the gameplay further; about w-spam - I fixed it, maybe it glitched for you for some reason, will check it again though

Submitted

Nice entry, I would like to be able to dodge instead of being locked to a position, at first I thought the controls were bugged out!

Developer

Will definetly implement that :)

Submitted

I had some problems playing this game on firefox, works fine on edge. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Will look into it, thanks for feedback! It also works fine on Chrome, so it's just Firefox that is giving me trouble

Submitted(+1)

Fun! It seemed at times that I couldn't move up even though I wasn't shooting

Developer(+1)

Probably because you have to shoot all enemies before moving on, without this you could just climb forever with no shooting or action... hope it doesn't ruin the experience :)
