I love the art style / aesthetic of this game. The controls are simple which is a huge plus.
My only real critique is that the game is lacking feedback to the user on how they are progressing. What should I dash into? What should I be avoiding? I couldn’t quite figure it out.
A solid entry! Thank you for providing a way to turn the damage / ice shaking on the screen off. It wasn’t so much that it was annoying but that it blocked the UI and a lot of the screen making it difficult to know if I had finished collecting a specimen.
I love me a good isometric game! I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the pixel art and believe it had the perfect palette. My only gripe is that the blobs seem very scary at first and then, to my surprise, they don’t hurt you.
Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! We greatly appreciate it.
For this project, my ambition as a programmer for the combat system far exceeded my ability to implement a functional interface :P I had lots of plans for ranged and magic weapons that, in the end, did not make the cut. Perhaps some day I will expand the combat :D
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you again in the next DC Jam ;)
This is the best combat mechanic I’ve seen in this jam so far! I loved this one.
That said, I do think it was a bit too long (the game crashed on me in the 5th dungeon with an array out of bounds exception). I was excited that the game had a 3rd dungeon that I could explore but by the 4th, it felt like there was not much new happening (or maybe I was missing something).
A great entry! I think I’ll come back to this one later. A solid inventory system, art was fantastic, and combat was simple. That said, combat was a bit too challenging right at the beginning and I didn’t want to restart all the way from the beginning a 3rd time.
Great entry! I could not figure out how to fight the enemies (I probably needed a stable gun). Plenty of room for quality of life improvements but I enjoyed it.
One of my favorite entries! I wish there was a continue option (maybe there was and I missed it). Although I did solve the infinite hallway puzzle, I didn’t quite understand exactly how I did it.
A really interesting game. Movement felt very awkward but I really loved the aesthetic. I did find myself feeling quite confused. I was never quite sure which directions I could move / when the game reset.
What a fun little puzzle game! I loved this one. The only criticism I had during my play through was that I wanted the I key to close the level up menu.
There is a message that shows up when you leave the show room / die that says that you can hear the meatballs regenerating. When you re-enter, there is another message that says, “It looks like the meatballs regenerated. I guess we’ll need to beat them all in one go!”
The goal was to make it so you would be strong enough for the final fight. But, it ended up making the last room quite confusing. In hindsight, I wish I had just made the final fight easier and not allowed the meatballs to regenerate.
