I don't know if I expressed myself well in English when I talked about the game being monochrome, but I'm actually praising it, because it's beautiful and fun regardless of the limited color palette
In my opinion, combat is quite difficult since you start with zero mana and stamina. I think an arrow to indicate where to collect the items at the beginning would be very helpful. The graphics are very nice, especially the enemies.
The sound effect of the player shouting is very funny!
At first I found the game unfair, because without knowing what the next obstacle will be, you can't calculate the exact height to let go of the rope, but after a while I started using a “short rope” technique to go more slowly and see the challenge ahead.
It worked well for me, it's how I managed to get further, but I still didn't get anywhere near the records.
Another thing that struck me was how fun the game is, even with its simple graphics. Nowadays, AAA studios spend a lot of money on realistic graphics, while a monochrome game that does the basics is more fun.
Thank you very much for playing and for the feedback! The side boost idea is very good and I'll try to implement something along those lines! I'm really glad you liked the retro atmosphere.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! It's always difficult to balance the difficulty curve during a jam, as it depends on gameplay testing, so I made my day when you said it was good!
Yes, I used a laptop. But my mouse has DPI regulation so I left it very low to see if it helped, but it didn't change much. However, there is also a high chance that it is my lack of skill in the game.
The only thing is that the controls are a little strange. The mouse simply rotating the character in the direction of movement is very bad (I even implemented it like this in my game, but after testing I gave up). It would be more interesting if there was a crosshair that the mouse moved, so the player looked at it. It would also be better if the directional pads or keys a and w were strafe left and strafe right, since the aim is on the mouse.
The character could also move a little faster, but we know that these balances depend on gameplay testing and no one has much time for that in a jam.
The very good music generates a feeling of action and urgency that matches the game.
The idea of killing enemies with one shot by shooting to activate traps fits the theme well and is very original. The camera movement when showing the traps being activated was also cool. Unfortunately, the controls are not cool, which harms the experience.
It draws attention to how well-finished the game is, with menus and tutorials, which we rarely see in jam games. The gameplay is fun and fits well with the theme. I liked the particle effects, simple but effective. Only the aim is not very precise.
The enemy sprites are very nice. Some sprites look like Unity's geometric patterns and clash with the beautiful enemies. The space key shot isn't bad, but it would be better on the mouse. The suitability for the theme is great.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm very happy that you liked it!
Really balancing the number of bullets was difficult and didn't turn out the way I wanted.
I was doing these juice effects with shiny numbers just as the jam time ended XD! But after the jam is over I will send the improved version and you can check it out!
The idea is really cool and gave me great nostalgia for the old arcades where we used a gun to shoot enemies that appeared on the screen. But unfortunately it got stuck on my computer.
Very fun! I really liked the adaptation to the theme, having to collect the power up of the skill we used to be able to use it again.
Unfortunately, the game broke for me at a point when I used the flip and shirink practically together and then the character left the game and was walking around outside the level. This is what earned me first place on the leaderboard. I was going to take a screenshot to send it to you but when I broke the record the game ended
Muito obrigado amigo! Fico feliz que tenha gostado do jogo!
As belas artes, assim como a música e os efeitos sonoros são quase inteiramente obra de Ansimuz, um dos melhores artistas de pixel do Itch: https://ansimuz.itch.io/
Very good and fun game. How sad it is to have to chase the ball so far away. The music gives a really cool feeling of adrenaline. The fulfillment of the jam theme was perfect
