I made The Anty-Christ, my first game, with my husband. I have no coding experience so this was a doozy of a feat for me. It's crazy how I've done nothing else every moment for the last few days and barely got something in.

I played the game, listened to some banging fight music, became a mother in a fight, and didn't learn my lesson from killing ants. 10/10

Hell yeah!

Did your run into any other issues or things that could be improved on? I'm hoping to round out the endings and add more music and fix the title screen after the voting period ends.

I would say, it would be great if you were able to use WASD too. Also, if it could be so that you could hold W+A / Up arrow and Left arrow at the same time to move diagonally, that would be perfect. I would maybe suggest making the fighting sprite bigger too? Seemed a little small. And maybe a volume slider for the music since the first time I got into a fight, I got jumpscared quite hard lol. (unless there already is a slider and I missed it, then thats just me being stoopid)

Thank you so much! That's helps a LOT. Anything you have about the pacing/is it too repetitive? I will be sure to rate your game once I get home from work

Oh, sorry! Didn't see this reply. I wouldn't say its too repetitive. But I would say the pacing felt odd? Not in a really bad way. But for example, at the start of the game, I walked over to the guy to battle him, I lost, then I get teleported back to where I started. I get this is probably because I died and I was meant to go back there but I would say that it would be better to be defeated and then be told I was defeated and have a choice on whether to respawn, or continue. That way I know what will happen. I will know if I am going to be teleported back or I know I was defeated and I know I need to walk back and back track.

This is just what I personally think though. You made the game so its ultimately what you prefer to have. I do have one other note though, I do think the lava is too detailed? It was very bright and nearly blended with the environment. I also thought that the lava animation could be changed a little bit. It goes from one frame to the other and repeats. It feels like too big of a leap and it looks like its constantly changing into a different type of lava instead of just plain flowing lava.

For me personally, if these changes were added, it would take the game from an 8/10 game jam game to a 10/10 game jam game!

Thank you so much for your input! That is very generous of you to give me your time, I really appreciate. The game is an RPG maker from 2011 so all the assets are ones the game provided, except the devil, main character, ant, and seraphim, which I made. I would definitely love to try and explore making my own environment later on.
