Looking forward to giving your game a go!
I really enjoyed this, the inspiration from Hollow Knight in the casting/healing/atmosphere is evident, but it’s well implemented and fits well in your game.
So I made the numerous attempts to clear the final boss without getting hit and made it to the secret ending, and I’ve got to say, INCREDIBLE! Definitely worth the effort for anyone else who comes across this comment.
Some thoughts I had:
-
the difficulty jump to the boss from the little eye creatures was pretty dramatic. It would have been amazing if the left and right paths had a simple enemy that introduced one of the three boss attacks as a learning tool (but it’s a jam I get it)
-
If you could implement a retry button for the boss that would be amazing - for someone trying to get the no-hit run it was tedious to have to allow the boss to kill me each time I got hit since that was the fastest way to reset.
I really enjoyed your game, excellent work!
Looking forward to trying yours! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-11/rate/2534651

Our horror-action game! (No jump scares).
Thanks for playing, and I appreciate the feedback!
Unfortunately the shoulder buttons (dash & scale) on controller don’t work on the web version. If you’d like to use controller and get the dash working then I’d suggest one of the downloadable builds.
(If you’re on Mac then you’ll be stuck with using keyboard on the web build, sorry!)
Thanks for the feedback! The second level definitely spikes the difficulty too much which is too bad because the levels that come after are a bit easier (probably not enough so though). Lesson learned!
In terms of not getting enough height on the second level - you need to use the dash vertically (it’s omnidirectional),turns out this mechanic could have used an explicit tutorial.
Thanks for playing!
This is a really exceptional tiny rpg given the timeframe. It’s charming and entertaining and just challenging enough. Beautiful art and wonderful music. You should be really proud of yourself for this, brilliant!
The first scene in the home having the same layout as the home in Undertale had my sold instantly, nice touch!
Interesting implementation of the theme through the use of the scales. Solid art and good sound! My only nitpick would be that the scale/time mechanics were cool, but it wasn’t really required to use them in most places which led to me simply using the sword for most encounters. Great game, nice work!
Hello, looking forwads to trying your game out as soon as I can! https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2023/rate/2388521

Dripping with polish that is totally unnecessary for a game jam but really makes it shine. This was excellent. Difficult, but in the way that makes you feel rewarded when things are going smoothly. The voice acting and context specific death notes were such a great added bonus. Really great work, loved it.
Thanks for spending so much time with the game, it’s certainly more than I could ask for. This is great insight that should help me make it more clear for others in the future.
Edit*: I believe I fixed the Windows build issue by building the Godot project in debug, who would have thought. Thank you again!
Thanks for the feedback! It is very much appreciated.
In the web build you’ll need to use the dash to clear the jump in that screenshot you’ve provided. Unfortunately, the controller support doesn’t work correctly for all buttons in the browser, which means you’ll have to rely on the keyboard controls. You can dash with CTRL or SHIFT in any direction.
I have no idea what is going on with the Windows build for some people, but it’s very disappointing as it seems to work for me every time. Could I ask which version of Windows you’re on?
