Really well made game, there's so much to do this could be like a full game for sure, I also the color palette, good work!
thanks EC. I appreciate the feedback.
Platforming, combat, crafting and a world map. Such an insane amount of stuff going on!
The audio and art style complement eachother really well, and the scene transitions really add to the presentation.
I would say, some of the elements could do with being highlighted more - dying, running out of time and getting the key all end the level in the exact same way, so sometimes it's difficult what's actually happened.
Once I got my head around the different game states, it was super fun to play.
thanks buddy. that's really useful feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the game and granted... I need a smoother learning curve
:)
Very nice game. Took me a while to get accustomed to the game. But overall very well done. Fun game!
thanks my friend
Nice visual and sound! Controls are a bit sensetive for me
ah sorry about that 😐
As some said, a little difficult at the start, but really fun once you get the hang of it and polished! Great work! (Looking forward to GDKO!)
thanks Axel! Appreciate the comment and looking forward to seeing what you make in GDKO 2023 :)
Although it was pretty hard in the beginning (and in general haha), it's very fun and I found myself replaying it a lot to try to beat each level. It looks great and super polished. Awesome job!
Admittedly it was probably a bit hard LOL... but, these are the types of games I make, I guess... :)
thank you.
I found it overwhelming at first, but then once I got it it was fun, the boss had me once, but not twice >:)
You beat the boss on the second try? That's very impressive. Thanks for playing.
Nice game! Could have some simple tutorial levels first to practice the mechanics. Got to the boss level and nearly defeated her!
Well done on getting to the boss 👊 that is no easy feat...
noice but after a while the music overlapped and destroyed my ears
Tell you ears I'm sorry to hear this. I didn't notice that bug while play testing :(
lol its fine
very fun game. I enjoy the voice acting too
thanks minidavid.
I love the colors. A bit hard at first. Especially since you got multiple level would have been more friendly to make the first one a bit easier. Other than that it's super fun and interesting to play once you get it!
thanks for commenting. I'm glad you found it fun.
Nice work as always Xander! The color palette reminds me of some futuristic version of those old games I used to play on my pc back in the 90’s. Hookshot ability is a neat idea and it feels nice to kill things. Using the shop at the end was a cool progression system and it felt great to upgrade everything. I got to the final boss but he was just too beefy for me to beat.
thanks Buddy. the boss is a typical 'xanderwood hard' style boss.
Neat game, but I felt that there was too much stuff to take in all at once, the bright colors, crafting trees, difficult-to-read fonts, chaotic music, etc kinda made my brain shut down. I would love to see a more polished version of this cus it was really fun!
Yeah I did worry about that. I was worried it wasn't simple enough. I'll probably do some more work on it after the jam ends.
