Awesome, the graphics and sounds are perfect. Combat system too, but I want a bit more dashing around and knockbacks, I think the player shouldn't be able to control that much air movement, and also its possible to spam S + K combo on all enemies (but it almost does no damage, so thats a good thing). Tbh it's perfect, but the only thing i'd change is K can be used once, reloaded if touched the ground or killed an enemy (so it's still possible to pass through the hovering 1 shot robot parts).

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the game ^^
The air control is inspired off of DMC and Castlevania (with the infinite dive kick), which is almost absolute haha, but it certainly can be a bit excessive. We'll remember that. Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for playing! The multiple weapons exist because of the hack 'n slash nature of the game, which purpose is to use your arsenal to the fullest capacity to get a better style score, although it is true that the moveset is essentially the same for the two weapons. The original idea was to make the axe more focused to crowd control while the claws were focused on burst, but the idea didn't land quite well haha
The dash had to be different to the hoverboard due to both of them serving different core purposes, but it certainly could be simplified.
Thanks the feedback!
Wow this amazing. You had a story to it, some great UI, great gameplay and all. This is awesome. You all did an awesome job on this. I like the art design you went with for all this. And like the design of wolf. One thing i notice is when i was playing this happen where i saw this pixel line appear near the beginning, just wanted to point this out but this great.
Thank you for playing! We're glad that you enjoyed it!
We are so confused about your error, that's something that never happened to us in another game. Does the line have collisions? Does it appear and disappear or something like that? Did the game show some other error symptoms? Did you play the jam original version or the fixed version?
I'd like to think that the cause is we worked with an old engine (Game Maker Studio 1.4). We are sorry for the inconveniences and I hope we can upgrade into a new version of the engine or another engine soon (or fix the error in case it's something else haha).
it doesn't have collision as in block. it just seem to appear when i was walking on the level normally. This was in the fixed version. It does disappear when i move away just at that one location it appears but then disappear when you move away. just was strange. Anyway, just thought i give a friendly heads up on it. I didn't run into any other issues. That all :)
Thank you very much! Yup, I couldn't really ask for a better co-worker than Geo, I think we do have a great synergy (although he has to hear me yap about dead-end topics for hours lol). Indeed was made in 2 weeks, but by over-exploiting our butts till the very last day. It was a big sacrifice, but it's what we really wanted so it was worth every second of sleep we lost. ^^U
Our goal is to eventually do a full experience, so feedback and kind words like yours really help us to grow, so I really want to thank you!
It actually has controller support! (well, kind of). Both PS5 and Switch controllers are not detected due to the engine being too old (GMS 1.4), so you gotta use an external app like DS4 (sorry about that T-T)
Once again, thank you very much! It really encourages us to keep going. Much love! <3
Jeez! Well, it was worth the pay off. I can definitely relate with my game and implementing the 3d models.. definitely sacrificed some sleep to get them in - though I wouldn't say I was to the point of eating ice cubes to stay awake! Lol and yeah, I guess my problem was that I was using a ps5 controller. I can't believe you guys are still on gms 1.. although I do know some people who still use it.. I was a long time gms2 user before switching over (back) to Godot.
We're glad that you liked it.
We've been thinking about making something else with the characters (From Plotonium Destructive Edge and Plotonium Explosive Smasher), so it's good to know that their interactions are interesting. Sometimes we feel that we can't put every idea that we have with the characters as the games are too short.

Thank you for playing!
It's a pleasure for us to participate in these jams every time we can, you always choose the best possible themes. You have motivated us to continue developing games in a way you can't image.
About the controls, we are sorry for not adding a gamepad UI, but if you press 9 in a level you can go to a practice room to fully test the moves and combos.

Thank you for playing! Indeed, the lack of cooldown after falling to spikes /endless pits is noticeable and kinda irritating, sorry about that T-T. Totally gonna fix it in a post-jam update!
Thanks for the kind words and enjoying the game! We're happy to hear that! ^^
That was a very impressive amount of work for two weeks! Great job!
Like others have said, the platforming got kind of annoying in certain areas, especially in the last level with the flashing points that let you dash twice. I had a lot of trouble trying to get these to work properly.
The combat was pretty fun but I kinda feel like it could have used a block or dodge to protect yourself from the enemies after they recovered from a stun. The AI was also easy to cheese in most places by just standing on a higher platform.
The boss fights were really cool, although I beat the 2nd one by just standing on the far right and spamming the attack button lol. The final boss was amazing though. I love how many moves it had and how you had to learn how to identify and adapt to each one to stay alive. It felt like the perfect amount of challenge/difficulty for a final boss
I really only had minor issue with the game, this is an overall exceptional entry and I look forward to your future developments.
Oh and here’s a screenshot of an error message I got that crashed the game in the first area (ignore the windows xp theme).
I THINK it might be related to knocking one of the enemies off a platform. I remember knocking an enemy off and thinking it was cool you could do that, and then boom: Error referencing a missing instance of some object lol
Thank you for playing the game and for the feedback! It became really hard to build a game with that much mechanics only for the player's moves. We designed it to be played mixing combos and weapons, but at the same time to be fast and friendly for those that just want a platformer game depending on how they want to play. Maybe, reaching a good balance was the biggest problem and something that needed more time.
We really want to continue with the Plotonium saga, so, stay tuned!

You have no idea how happy we are to read this comment. One of the ideas behind the development of this game was to make the deepest combat system we could in under 2 weeks, so we were kinda scared that the game ended up being frustrating to the players, and the fact that you dedicated all that time to understand it all and even play the NG+ really make us VERY proud and happy!
Indeed, our biggest inspiration for the combat system was the DmC franchise! Also we tried to copy some elements from Zero's moveset in X4.
And yes, we thought to keep a track of the style system to give a final rank at the end of every level, but due to time constraits we couldn't T-T
Again, we are truly grateful for your comment and it genuinely made us happy! The fact that you could enjoy this much the game truly fulfills our wishes and hopes as devs. Thank you for playing and enjoying the game! <3

¡Gracias por el comentario! Decidimos dejar los inputs para habilidades futuras para que todos puedan tener una guía general del juego, aunque es bien cierto que "spoilea" el contenido jaja. Tampoco pudimos colocar los inputs de mando por falta de tiempo, fue al último día de la jam que logramos implementar el tutorial con suerte, pero igual nos hubiera gustado poder implementarlo. En definitiva está pendiente para una actualización futura.
Somos totalmente conscientes de ese crash, pero todavía estamos intentando descifrar qué es lo que lo ocasiona. Fue debido a eso que tuvimos que meter un sistema de guardado. ^^U
Y sí, parte de nuestro humor siempre está en colocar alguna referencia hispana en nuestros juegos jaja
De nuevo, ¡gracias por el comentario y gracias por jugar! De verdad nos alegra bastante que lo hayas disfrutado. ^^

Y sí, que no se note que la Nekodere fue el jefe más difícil que quisimos hacer jajaja

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed, one of the things we most had trouble with was the tutorial and showing the core mechancis. Definitely gonna try more visual things next time! Also yes, we'll try to keep the level design more visible to avoid injustified deaths.
Once again, thank you very much for the feedback! It's thanks to these comments that we can learn from our mistakes and do better games in the future. We truly appretiate it! ^^
Thank you for playing! We're glad that you liked it.
Right now we don't know how to fix the error that you got. We will be looking for ways to fix it or alternatives to make the game work well.
We added a simple saving system, so if you didn't finish the game because of the error, you can try loading your progress. The Blazing Canyon is the second of three zones in the game, so there's content you may have not seen yet.
