I really like the visuals, great work! It lacks some stronger feedback when hits are landed, and music would help creating some atmosphere.

Submitted(+1)

The lack of music is really disappointing and hit's the atmosphere a bunch. The controls on the keyboard are really messed up (Q for left D for down, S for the right and X for UP???!). But the sprite work and feedback of the strikes is great so with more accesability and polish it would be a great game!

Developer

thanks for your feedback. I know for the control I’m French and my keyboard is in AZERTY.

I love the art and the general vibe. it also looks and feels great when moving around and attacking. I used the arrow keys because the WASD weren't working. maybe that's my keyboard layout though, because merlinott said they switched to a french layout. Awesome work.

Developer

Love this comment ! In the future i will add the WASD !

i loved the art style but it felt a bit empty... 

the controls where ok after i added a french keyboard layout :D

i like the idea and i can see a big potential... the music and sound was nice :)

well done anyways

Sorry but I just couldn't play this. A W wouldn't work and  going up was Z and left was Q which made no sense. Arrowkeys worked but you need to use the mouse to aim and space to dodge and this is literally impossible for my hand. If it was WASD It should have been fine

I’m very sorry in the futur I will add the QWERTY.

I’m French and my keyboard is in AZERTY…… sorry didn’t have time to add the international keyboard.

Submitted

The art is great. I loved the controls. Your take on the theme is great. Overall, the game is really fun.



If you are interested, it would really help if you could play my game.

Submitted

The pictures are really well done and stylish. Fun game!

I'd also like to invite you to play my game if you're interested.

Submitted

Cool artwork! However, the controls need a slight fix—A and D work, but W and S don't. The pathways aren't very clear; sometimes, you end up in unexpected locations. Also, the robot's dialogue could use a bit of improvement. Despite these points, Great job!

sorry, im French and my keyboard is in AZERTY, in the futur I will add the international keyboard for my game.

The explanation of controls made no sense to me.

Submitted

Seems interesting, but I really can't move Upwards or to the left at all. For some reason I came into another Level when going to a border at bottom left corner, is there a reason for this?

Developer

sorry for the control, I create the game in AZERTY ! Can you explain more ?

Submitted

Ah sorry, i meant the bottom right corner in the first level, well I would test it again to describe it in more detail, but for some reason I can't move at all anymore.

The setting is amazing, love the visuals but yes the controls are not right, I will come back to the game after the updated controls when the jam ends.

Developer

Thanks you very much ! Yes I know for the controls..... I can't wait for the future of this game !

Submitted

I played with a game pad and the controls seemed fine for that!  My issue with the game is it doesn't really feel much like a boss rush but otherwise good work :)  

Developer

Thanks ! I know, I didn’t have the time to add more than 1 boss.

I like the art work, reminds me old school rogue-like games.  The movement controls don't work properly.

super jeuuuuuu

First off, the setting of the game is a very cool choice. I like the Sci-Fi Mars/desert-like landscape. The character art is also very cool looking; the designs are well done.

Big issue for me were the controls. D and S worked but A and W did not. For some reason Z moved you downwards. I ended up just not really using the dash because it was hard to M1 attack with it while being forced to use the arrow keys to move since WASD didn't work right. For some reason movement isn't instant. If I change to the opposite direction there's clearly momentum. I assume this wasn't on purpose though?

The soundtrack is well-done. It goes well with the artwork and really helps to set the atmosphere/mood of the game. The ranged enemies attacked a little frequently. It made it hard to close the distance without taking damage. Perhaps, it would have been better if they did short bursts of rapid fire before pausing?

The attack animation is very punchy; I like it  a lot. The attack sound being the same as the footsteps is weird. An enemy death sound would have been nice as well.

The loading screen was a cute addition. It was nicely done. Also, I know the web builds of games can be a big buggier than the normal ones, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Overall, still a very cool entry. Stylistically stands out a lot. Gameplay is a bit rough around the edges but has a proper entertaining game-loop.

thanks you very much for your feedback. I am French and I created the game for controls in AZERTY and not in QWERTY. At the end of the jam, I would put a parameter to modify the controls according to the player's cultures. I didn't think of that, I apologize again!

Submitted

I dig the art style and there are some cool character designs! However the controls were a bit hard to get used to. Good luck!!

Tried playing but the controls were awful. The description is completely inaccurate.

Developer(+1)

sorry the game is in AZERTY because Im french and i didn't think to that. I know the description is...... Don't realy the time for this I ask chat gpt to created the description x).

Submitted

Looks and sounds great! However the movement controls were a little bit difficult for me to use on a qwerty keyboard. Good job regardless!

Developer

thanks for the feedback. Sorry for the controle, i create the game in AZERTY....... At the Jam end I will add better function

Submitted

No problem. I just thought that might be why some people were struggling to figure out the controls :)

Submitted

Great art!  However, I don't think the controls are intuitive.

Developer

I know I creat the tutorial too late but it's left clic for attaque. thanks !
