I know you want to describes the theme about the love between and player and princess, but the dialogue is too long. Because your dialogue words type one by one to enter, I guess some players would try to always press space. I recommendation that you can use some images or cut some words.

Graphics style is pixel style. That's my faviorates. Also Great Help Menu. Confortable layout and the storytelling as well. SFX also very suitable for your game. High rates to this part.

In terms of player animations, I am pretty like this sword trail game. 2D game you made very great from my perspective. Also you have much potential in making one RPG game. Keep going~ (If you have time Hopes you can rate me as well. Very appreciate)

Have a great day

This Game Is perfect its from my top 10 games i played until now :D

good job creating it and you sticked to the theme

your feedback will be awesome in my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-2/rate/374470

Developer

Thank you for the kind words, i'm glad you enjoyed my game. I will check your game out too.

Some criticism:

1. The intro is too long

2. Readability is bad because of the pixel-font. This makes reading the long intro even more difficult

3. No need to ask if the player wants to load from checkpoint on every death. 95% he will

4. Sometimes it asks to reload to checkpoint a it after you've already reloaded. I suspect this happens when several enemies kill you at the same time

5. It's getting boring with time

6. It lags in WebGL. WebGL usually works slower, but it also usually runs smooth with simple graphics like this one.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the WebGL version, because it ran smoothly the first time i published it. Thanks for playing.

Nice game :)! Sound was good, nice own made graphics. Bit difficult game and died a lot :) and some more variation would be nice. But overall a good job :)!

Developer

Glad you liked it. I wanted to add more enemies, or weapons, but i unfortunately had no time left. I also underestimated playtesting and the game ended up way harder/longer than anticipated.

Submitted

Hey! Just played, I like the art and sound effects (if you recorded it yourself it must have been really funny experience :D )

But it gets repetitive after a while... I would add more different enemies or attack styles to add some diversion. But I understand there wasn't much time.. ;)


Overall great work for such a short time, especially with sound effects and music!

Developer

Appreciate your feedback. I recorded the sounds with my friend, so it was even more funny. I found out that the game is much longer after the deadline. My biggest mistake was making the level as the last thing, so there was no time for playtesting. One thing that i wanted to add was an enemy shooting projectiles, but i had no time left for that. Thank you for playing and for the feedback.

Submitted

This game is impossible to pass! Enemies are incredibly aggresive and there is tons of them. Attack cooldown is a little bit too long in my opinion. I mostly tried to run away to pass further but it was too difficult to finish. I may give it another try cause it was fun! Graphics,  maybe except  human characters, are very nice, I like environmental tiles most. Audio is also good, I like the background tune. I also liked the introduction with paper sounds and characters not showing all at once. Generally Nice game but I'd suggest scaling difficulty a little bit down, or introduce difficulty levels in the future. Cheers!

Developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm aware the game is very difficult and long. Much longer than i wanted it to be tbh. I would definitely want to make the game shorter (end easier), but i think i can't change the level after the jam. I struggled with drawing the human characters, i'll have to work on that. Thank you for playing. Appreciate the feedback.

Thats a really fun game. I liked the art style. Wish the intro wasn't that long. Combat is a bit hard but it is fun. All in all its an enjoyable experience, great work.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep in mind to keep the introductions short for my next jam entry. Thanks for playing. :)

Submitted

Really nice game made in such a short time. Only problem I had was the same as other people had. (checkpoint)  :) 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words, i'm glad you liked it. :)

I really like your game! Well done! The enemies movement is good, and I like the fighting. I recommend you to fix the problems with the checkpoints but besides that, good job!!

Developer

Thank you! I'll look into the checkpoint bug. I'm glad you liked my game, thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

I was attacked by a bear. It attacked me with its butt. 5 Stars for bear butt attacks! I liked the art, especially the ground tiles. I wish I could attack more frequent. It felt a bit like I always needed to retreat and run back where I came from during battle. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't want the player to spam the attack, but rather use it strategically. I might have overdone the timer. Anyway thanks for playing.

Submitted

Art looked fine and so was the audio.

I think the sword should be longer so it would be easier to attack the enemy without getting hurt so quickly. Checkpoints were great, but the long empty room walking became quite the bore.

Not sure if other people have encountered this bug, but when I'm on the death menu and click on the last checkpoint button, there would be a 50/50 chance of getting the same screen again.

Overall I think it's an alright game!

Developer

Yes there should've been more checkpoints. I'll remember to do that next time. As for the bug, i actually know about that (It's written on the games page), but i'm not sure why it happens. I appreciate your feedback, thank you.

Submitted

Are the Sound Effects self-made? If yes, really good job on this! :D

I like the game concept, although I think you could still improve your pixel-art skills but nevertheless, a great game! :)

Developer

Yes they are self made. I recorded them with a friend and it was a lot of fun. :D

I agree that my skills regarding graphics aren't good, but on the other hand it was my first project where i did all the art myself. There's definitely room for improvement and i hope to become better at it with each project. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. :)

Submitted

Really great work! :D

To be clear, it wasn't an Insult to your graphics skills, they are already better than mine :D I really like your style and I really want to see how they look like in maybe a year ^^

For your first project, I really like your work!

Developer

I know, i didn't take it as an insult no worries. You pixel-art is by far better than mine. I actually have a question regarding that, what resolution did you make your sprites in? I used 32x32 but i felt like it limited me too much sometimes.

Submitted

Thank you very much! :D I feel like I could still improve so much...

I've used 16x16 for the single sprites, the dedicated video resolutiuon is 384x216 which is than upscaled to upper 16:9 resolutions like 1920x1080

Developer

Ah i see. The background really caught my eye so that was what i was asking about specifically. Thank you for the answer. :)

Submitted(+1)

The background Images are all in 16x16 style but the files itself are 576x216 so tiling doesn't make it that obvious, that they are repetitive :D

Submitted

Unfortunately I clicked at quit when I died because the button appeared right at the cursor position. But good job <3

Jam Judge

Wish the introduction wasn´t that long, Still a mentionable title and worth to be played.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I wanted the introduction to be quite generic and then end it on a less expected note. I suppose it can be lengthy, i'll keep it in mind next time.

Submitted

I would not call it a "short" 2D game, the map is pretty big. I encountered one bug where an enemy pushed  me on the wall and then my character was pushed outside of it (in the black background).
The bear walking backward was funny! I liked it. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah when i was running through it, i got it pretty quickly, but when i was watching other people play, it took them longer than i expected. If i would have more time for playtesting, i would definitely make the level a bit shorter. Also thanks for reporting the bug, i'll look into it.

Submitted

Nice game! Really liked the sound effects. It's kinda funny how the bear walks backwards :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Working on the sound effects was actually really fun, because i recorded them with my friend, and some funny stuff came out of it. :)

Submitted

Very cool game with a  very pleasant background music. The only error is a "come" instead of "came" in the first dialog. GG

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had one person check the text, but we didn't notice that. Thanks for the feedback.
