Nice little game I love the simple art design and plus I'm rating any game that's made with godot highly it's an underrated game engine 😭🙏. Check out my game and leave me a rating please.
This game really does feel like every choice takes energy/hp. I thought it was a little broken at first because the vampiric attack didn't fill my hp bar like a traditional health leech mechanic. After the first enemy got too close and I had to run but had no hp to spare, it clicked why it worked like that. Great game design! There was far more strategy in managing my hp than I was expecting. Great job!
Wow, the game was super intense at first, but it was also super enjoyable! If you’re planning to release a post-jam update, could you maybe increase the movement speed a bit? That would be a huge help! Also, “jump” was a lifesaver for me! Thank goodness! And feel free to play my game too!
Yeah the jump was introduced as a means to play more tactical. Eventually the level design would have to be more clever to accommodate that. If you are interested this is a big topic in the devlog of the jam
Yeah, definitely man — I just followed you so I can see them. Also, keep making more games ;),, Also feel free to follow me for more future games
This concept is actually super creative and refreshing to play! You did an awesome job with the gameplay! :) Visuals and audio were simple, but it was a pretty short jam and working solo isn’t easy, so kudos!!
Thanks you! Btw: It was the perfect time frame for a jam, especially with the extension. 3 weekends is perfect for the time crunched dad developer. one for inception, two for progress, three for bugfix - polish - release.
never change the mode and I will participate every time!
furthermore: random rating queue and sensible rating criteria - to me this is the best jam I have ever participated and I won't change my opinion even if I placed last.
Neat risk/reward system between waiting to heal more at the risk of getting in a worse position. Enjoyable game! Potato
Thanks a lot for giving it a shot!
Much appreciated and I hope you had a good time playing.
I like the concept a lot! the sfx are great and the visuals are simple but charming. The gameplay is fun, however, it felt a bit slow, and just standing there while waiting was a little boring at firsts. It's great that you have upgrades on stage clear tho! Great work!
Really cool use of the theme!
The game was pretty simple, but It did allow for a bit of skill in planning what to do in certain situations. The game was very slow though. And often there weren't too many differnet options to tackle a situation so the time it took to move around just became a bit of a waiting game. I think with some more strategic things to think about the game would really click.
But still, pretty fun game. Great work!
Uh... um... tomato! no wait...
Thanks a lot for playing... and finishing! that means a lot to me.
You hit a sore point and if you are interested: I added a devlog about my experience. In short: clever level design and better balancing would bring exactly what you are missing - more strategic thinking into the game. I really need to reprioritize in the next jam.
again thanks for the feedback!
I like the concept of your game. Nice work!
cool concept and game play mechanics!!
I enjoyed plaything through this game, it reminded me a lof of binding od issac, great work!
well done. great game
Fine game.
Unique gameplay but it's a bit clunky.
Good job on releasing this game though.
Visuals: Simple but a bit charming
Audio: A bit repetitive.
Gameplay: Unique but a bit slow. Doesn't grab me right away.
Feel free to play my game too if you can. I'd appreciate it alot.
Thank you for the detailed feedback.
I deliberately went for a slow gameplay, because stressful bullet hells are enough out there. The game should give you a little time to think to plan your next actions as, well, they cost you life :)
I carrot believe how good this game is!!! It's a little slow, but the concept is fresh and unique. For solo developing this game, it really is incredibly impressive! :D
Thanks a lot, you made my day! I see what you did there and appreciate that you pulled through. As said in another response:
