This is a very fun game to play, it's beautiful and it has a very easy mechanic to learn. 

I had a minor problem at the start, didn't quite understand the controls, maybe an explicit explanation on it would help. But when you get it, is pretty straightforward.

The movement is a bit clunky and the jump is a little bit inconsistent, that might be a problem but it's probably easy to fix.

The art really stands out, the game is beautiful. And I also liked the variations for all the spells, how unique are each one of them.

The music is pleasant to hear, fits very well with the game.

Overall it's a very good game and I had a lot of fun playing it! Congrats!!

It was a pretty fun game! The jumping was a little wonky, and some of the levels could simply be run through without having to use the staff, but it was overall a good time! The graphics were great, and the theme was awesome! Well done!

It'd be great if you checked our game out as well, it's called Donut Wholes!

Very addicting game! Even though the jumping process isn't that polished but always wanted to play again. Maybe you should show the character behind walls too, and as you've seen in the stream there are some unnecessary things like taking some gems. Nice work thou. 

Developer(+1)

All the unnecessary things are because of some problems in the build , but in the next levels and final version of the game there won't be anything unnecessary :)

The final version will be much better :)

Thanks again for you review :)

and Don't forget to rate the game :)

I really liked your visuals.  The art in the title screen and the graphics were top notch.

The controls felt a little sluggish, and it wasn't clear how to use your staff.  Running and jumping was obvious, but I pressed every key on the keyboard and couldn't find a way to interact with the symbols on the ground.  (Maybe I missed something that should have been obvious?  I'm not sure).

Anyway, great job and the visuals!  If you can tighten up the controls, and include a little instruction, that would go a long way to making it great!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

you can change the color of your staff by going to the Color Palette , when you are in front  of it you can click anywhere and a menu will appear with the available spells.


Select the spell you need and go.

Notice that you can only activate the spell while standing on its sign (its correct color)


as for the controls we already have a new version with much smoother controls, which we will submit after the voting period of the jam.

Again thanks a lot for your detailed feedback :) i hope you can give the game another try now when you know how it works :)

I really liked the aesthetics of the game.. The music was beautiful..With some polishing this can become an amazing game..It has a lot to offer.. There were some bugs and things were too difficult but I'm sure those will be fixed.. Also the BACK button on the credits menu doesn't work.Add some checkpoints  too.. Other than that Good Job and definitely keep working on this :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for your honest and detailed review :)

We have already fixed the movement and jumping mechanic in a new version and now the character is much more responsive , this version will be uploaded after the voting period ends :) (also the credits button issue was fixed in this version )

We were also considering adding some checkpoints to avoid the player from frustration :D as it was suggested by many of our reviewer.

Thanks again for your review :)

interesting game with a lot of mechanics. But as for me jump is too short and it is hard to jump over obstacles

Developer

PS: we will definitely put a limit on the number of holes in the final version , we just left it unlimited for the people to have fun ;)

I really liked the theme and the idea but it was a bit hard moving the character around . but other than that , Great Job :D

Developer

Thanks a lot :) 

yes we know the issue of the movement and we already fixed it in a new version that will be posted after the game jam :)

Lot's of potential with this one. I really liked the aesthetics and the gameplay seemed interesting. The only problem I had was that it is way too hard to move around. I found myself falling into holes very often because it was just really difficult to move around. But otherwise, great game!

Developer(+1)

Yes we know :(, we didn't have enough time to fix the jump and submit it before the deadline , we already have a new version with much smoother and more consistent jumping mechanism that has no delay and doesn't require any momentum to preform it.

we will definitely update the game after the Jam :)

Thanks a lot for you honest review :)

Submitted(+1)

I like the concept of the game, cool 3D graphics for a one week development time. The effects are perfect!
The jumps are a bit too hard for me, I did not even come to the last symbol at my 10th try before I gave up (not even passed the tutorial level, if this has been one), I have read that you have planned to introduce more checkpoints which will be very good :-). The Isometric camera looks great, but I always tried to use both direction keys to move diagonal all the time, it is a bit confusing to see the character move diagonal when you press the D button, but in a bit of time you get used to it. My suggestion is to introduce the player to the game a bit smoother, definitely reduce the jump difficulty a bit, it is so frustrating when you have passed the third symbol and for the hard jump mechanism you have to start again at the beginning. 

I think it has potential, especially the symbol thing with the different spells. Good Job!

Developer

We already fixed the jumping mechanic and it is now more smooth and reliable , but we unfortunately haven't been able to submit the fixed version before the deadline :( 

We hope you have enjoyed it though :)

and Thanks a lot for your detailed and honest feedback :)

Nice concept, graphics and animations! I like the different skills. There are a few major hiccups though:

- Unreliable movement and jumping. Caused me to die several times in the tutorial level, and the level after that, until I gave up.

- The fact that you even can die in the tutorial level and have to start the whole level from the beginning.

- The camera angle made it hard to aim my jumps, and even hard to go from one room to the next since a wall without any transparency was covering my character.

- I'm not sure why you have to select the skills at the wall tablets and can only use them at specified spots. I'd prefer to just select the skill by holding down right mouse button and using them at any place I choose.

Other than that, it seems like a potentially very fun game. There's a lot of great stuff here, in visuals and gameplay. The music and sound effects fit the game, too.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

First of all thanks a lot for your detailed and honest review :)

Secondly:

- the movement and jumping part, we already have a new version with  this fixed , but we couldn't submit it in time before the deadline sadly :(

- The Spells selection part , is to make it hard for the player to plan the their next steps , it will actually be more apparent why this part is needed in the more complicated levels.

- We will consider adding checkpoints to make the game less frustrating when you die :)

Finally i would like to thank you again for your feedback :)

and i would really be grateful if you can rate our game :)

Good to hear! I rate every submission I comment on, so already did.

Developer

Oh sorry then , i just didn't see the number of rates increase but maybe it is bugged or something :)

Submitted (1 edit)

Nah, I rated the game, and then ate before writing the comment. I don't think it's good for your health to obsess over those numbers.

yea you are right ! haha
