Hi! Totally agree, it was hard to find a balance between people who enjoy a challenge and those with shorter attention spans, lol. Nowadays everything’s fast, TikTok-like, and people don’t enjoy slow burners as much as they used to. Plus, they have to play and rate lots of games, so it would be unfair, and a bit selfish of me, to expect them to spend an hour on mine. I just hope people see the game’s short length as a bit of sportsmanship on my part toward the other contestants.
Other than that, I’m glad you liked it! All the art was done by me, it took a lot of effort, honestly. Lots of tutorials, since I’m not really a pixel artist, I’m a programmer who can make passable art. I know it’s not perfect, but I try to learn new things every day. Still, I’m pretty proud of how the ending cutscene turned out, so it makes me really happy to see people enjoying it.
After the jam, I’m planning to give the game a more balanced pace, add a prestige system so you can replay it, and include new endings, buffs, and so on.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your review! It’s so wholesome seeing people enjoy the game I poured my heart and soul into for nine days straight.
Super glad you liked it, thanks for playing!!!
