Hi!

Game Title/URL: Fountain of Life https://nestorherre.itch.io/fountainoflife

Pitch/Information: Topdown action game where you fight evil enemies that want to take over the Fountain of Life! You are attached to the fountain, so everytime that an enemy reaches it, you lose life. Game is sort of a Tower Defense but instead of towers you use the main character to defend the fountain.

I'd like feedback on: anything you think that can be improved.

Thanks! (Reuploaded because I linked the game incorrectly last time)

That was fun, good job.

Couple little things:

Not being able to move diagonally makes it feel a little weird, especially when there are enemies moving diagonally :)

The soundtrack sounded overly compressed, like a low bitrate mp3, which took away from what was otherwise an awesome soundtrack.

Thank you!

I'm not too familiar with sound files, so everytime I tried to convert the soundtrack from mp3 to wav it turned out to be huge in comparison, so the only way to get a low size was to compress it in that way. But you're right, I reuploaded the soundtrack and now it sounds way better, even if the size is too big.

About the diag movement, it was a feature that I wanted but had to give up in order to advance, it was taking me a while to implement that and the subsequent animations. Might get it done in a later time, but for this jam unfortunately it'll be missing.
