Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?

Yes

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?

Yes

How did you incorporate the theme "COMBINATION"?
In this Game you use spirits and their abilities to fight. Each one of them has an Active and a Passive ability. You need to switch between the Active and Passive skills to find the Combination that fits your situation and your playstyle as you're flying through the levels and the monsters !

IF you find the game difficult try the version with a softer controller :

Wow! I was moving so fast, and dying so fast too haha

I got to witness the death effect quite often! I liked it :)

It's a little hard to climb the platforms because of how fast and high you jump/move. But it's an interesting game with cool looking art.

Character art and animation are great, and I adore the hand painted look of the scenery. Audio complimented the aesthetic very well, although it would have been nice to have more of an indication when the enemies were defeated.

Traversal mechanics and combat worked nicely, but the level design could have used more work. There were several instances where I didn't know where to go, because all of the available platforms were off-camera.

Great work, folks!

Really ambitious for a game jam game, nice work!

NoxydeDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Thank you 😊

I had virtually only the jam to work on for those 9 days and having teammate for the first time made me want to make the game as polished as possible, everyone worked hard.

I'm proud that the game feel like a full game experience but I need some rest now hahaha

I played the Jam web version and the controls were a bit too sensitive, which I think you already addressed with the new build you shared. Cool art and UI, but you know what's cooler? You combined 3 countries in making this game. We have US, Germany, and Japan working together, now that's a "Combination" :D

Really like the active/passive skill mechanic! And that character art is pretty awesome. One question, how do you open the chests located inside the levels?

Submitted

NoxydeDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Glad you liked it :)

The chest is just a monster trap nothing more to it, but there is a little trick to reach level 4, did you get it ?

ricenoodlesSubmitted2 years ago

I just reached level 3 but couldn't get to level 4, how do you do that?

NoxydeDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

you have to use the second skill to range attack into the black gate.

Careful the monster there have *3 stats

minidavidSubmitted2 years ago

pretty cool. It feels fast sometimes a little skiddy but fluid nonetheless

Submitted

NoxydeDeveloper2 years ago

Hey if you want to try the version where I removed the inertia of the player movement you can do it here : https://noxyde.itch.io/spirit-swap-easy
We are debating which is more fun to play still haha

wonderbounceSubmitted2 years ago

Movement is currently a tad skiddy, but the art and general atmosphere is very well done and has a lot of character

Nice. I was struggling a little with the controls that are so fast. But after a few minutes I got used to it and they are very satisfying. Maybe just adding a simple platformer level with no enemies at the beginning would be nice to give the player some time to get used to it. Very cool you did the music and the visual. Works great together.

It takes both of us

NoxydeDeveloper2 years ago

Thank you :)

And yes I hope players can give this game 3min to get use to the controls. It make the games fun and "skillful" to play.

Glad you enjoyed it
