Hi, very nice work! The animations and movement are pretty complete and represent well the actions of the player, i guess they could be a little faster tho. Also for some reason the menu was cropped in my screen, cutting a good chunk of the edges.
The game has potential, keep up the good work!
It's a fun game. Kinda slow in my opinion, but still entertaining.
The art, however, didn't convince me that much. Feels like a mix of different styles, and while the can look good on their own, when you put everything together it's not very plesant to watch.
I could not understand the objective of the game. I finished the 2 levels in a minute and a half and I got a bad ending, I guess? So I tried replaying and doing everything I could on the first level, cause I wasn't sure what the game wanted me to do.
Also, found a bug in the second level: After defeating every spider, getting every coin, and buying $40 item from the shop, the controls didn't work in the second level.
Nice artwork! Mechanics felt sluggish and the jumping felt floaty but overall nice work
Art is Great
pls play and rate my game too: https://rakshit-ranjan.itch.io/rewind-knight
I'm sorry to be that guy, but in one week with premade assest this is not a good game, I don't know why everyone in the comments say that this is good. The player movement is very far from good, the sprites don't match, unclear instructions, no visual feedback, broken mechanincs(shop). Hope you can learn something from this, and I think giving you this feedback will be more helpful than the fake loving ones.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We know about the bugs in the game. If you had other difficulties please refer https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/topic/921085/faq-for-our-first-game-pandeum-based...
Hey @Guacamole, I really appreciate your honest opinion and we've taken it as a constructive feedback and will definitely work on polishing our skills and improving our knowledge :)
I'm not gonna give excuses here but if I'm being completely honest about this, we could only spend 4 days out of 7 on this game (this being our first game ever) because of certain factors which I'm not gonna write here.
I would blame myself for not being able to come up with a proper action-plan with all the necessary features and implement the same adhering to a strict timeline.
We had a wonderful story in mind but could not portray the same through this game. Most of the things were rushed upon in the end :(
At one moment we had really given up on this, but still we were adamant on submitting this. After all failures are the pillars towards success right?
We had faced loads of challenges such as:
1. onTriggerEnter2d being called several times occasionally instead of just one call. This resulted in multiple green bars (infection) and virus DNA counts to be incremented at once (do observe it in case you haven't)
2. The coins you collect after killing your enemies were supposed to reduce your infection level once you purchase penicillins from the shop. We had a functional logic behind it which failed at the end moment for some reason so we had to compromise with one of the main features the game was focused on. (This could be fixed but we didn't have ample time to fix the same ) :(
3. The free assets which were made into tile-maps were sliced 128x128, despite that a really small area (1-2px I guess) was remaining on the top resulting in invisible walls/ barriers and many more.
I believe the player movement, jumping and smooth player animation were overlooked at our and were really really minor changes believe me :D
Lastly, we learnt a lot from this awesome experience that we had during this Jam and trust me, you'll be seeing much improved, stable and bug-free games from us in the near future.
I really really appreciate your feedback :D
Nice art style and animations, pretty fluid. Movement requires a little bit of improvement but just that. Good work. Rating done!
I would appreciate some feedback on mine if you like
a tad simple but fun nonetheless. The art style is all over the place though which makes it hard on the eyes. The responsiveness was a bit to slow. Some kind of confirmation that you hit something visually would have been nice.
the arts and the animations are the best i've seen in this jam (except some wierd background objects) but the movement doesn't feel good and i stucked at level 1 because i couldn't get all of the necessary items (not sure why)
The idea of this game was good. The problems I found were with the collisions of the level and the slowness of the player. For a platformer, the player should move faster and jump higher as to make the moves seem really fluid and not dragged down. Good for being made in a week!
Amazing atmosphere, really felt like in an interesting & alive world!
My negative points are that the game was a bit laggy, movement sometimes glitched and the attack isn't very accurate.
Overall loved the atmosphere and feeling of the game, great work! :)
This is a good, simple game. Work on improving the cohesiveness of the art assets for next time and consider adding a calm soundtrack in the background to enhance the atmosphere.
I love the atmosphere and the level design (specially how it seems like other levels are in the background) but I have two suggestions:
-Since we're going left and right, I think it's better to have the character in middle of screen rather than on the left side.
-Having some particle effects and screen shake after you hit the enemies would be nice
Also I got stuck after entering the yellow door, not sure why
