I love me some fan game
I hold them dear to my heart
Your game deserve some more fame
It put the art back into fanart
Okay so
The game was really fun, and I absolutely adored rediscovering Kid Mystic with this kind of visuals. It was a pleasure to go through, but I do admit I would have loved to learn that money is useless *before*.
The level design is really nice, and I the whole gameplay feels exactly how it should.
I did found the secret level, and while it didn't bringed me to a secret level, as told before, it did made me able to go out of the map. Also I am kinda sad bouapha doesn't congratulate us when we kill the boss. And I can't imagine someone who haven't played kid mystic before would like it a lot, due to how much is not explained. Sadly.
All this is very small criticism considering how much pleasure I had the whole time, and I had a stupid grin covering my face the whole time.
I can't wait to see more of your work.
Hello!
I am a game dev with a passion for small indie titles, since always, and for my next games, I'm trying to add within it a bunch of guest playable characters.
It's a game that's structurally similar to a nuclear throne, but with a proeminent platformer feeling and a playfull feeling. And I am trying to put inside it a bunch of what made me love video games and wish to be a game dev. Basically, free PC games from the 2000's.
And one of these games I adore and made me into the person I am today is Zeux's World
Man, did that game took me when I was little. And when I got Zeta's world years later, I 100%'d it again. I love it so much. Consider this: I had only a computer, not a single dime in my pocket, and there's a full, complete, and incredibly well made platformer with secrets everywhere that I can just, like, download and play? That felt like a steal! Honestly, the verge engine was really a nice initiative and I'm bummed so much about it seems lost.
All this to say that I would trully love to know if I can put the Smiley Hero as a guest character in my game, as an hommage.
If you have any questions that would need answer to make yourself an opinion, please ask, and if you don't want your character to be put in a commercial game made by someone else, I would perfectly understand it too.
Thank you for reading, I hope I didn't made you lose some of your time for nothing, and I can't wait for the next game!
PLEASE READ, IT'S IMPORTANT
So, the game is, for some unknown reasons, flagged as a virus in the main .exe file. So I made a .zip file, and uploaded it to mediafire because until the end of the votes I cannot upload it on itch again.
Here's the file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/f2yvf3rdxra7f2l/winter_is_leaving.zip/file
I insist that this is the exact same game as originally posted, just not falsely flagged as a virus.
Sorry for the problem.
Dommage que certains embranchements bugs, parce que le jeu est vraiment rigolo. Une histoire a choix multiple, pour un jeu de jam, c'était une vraiment super idée, et les quelques sons ainsi que la musique et le changement de couleur du texte parfaissent bien le truc. Vraiment sympa!
Et puis j'ai eu la meilleur fin!
J'ai fait pénitence, puis j'ai eu la bénédiction du dieu des mers, et du coup j'suis allée me NOYER.
Parfait!
Blague a part, c'est dommage que pour l'instant c'est pas fini, mais j'suis impatiente de voir la suite: la musique est cool et le style visuel est vraiment bon, pour un gameplay qui semble prometteur
I'm absolutely unhappy! I was promised a poorly drawn game, and this game is very acceptably drawn!
Joke aside, the game is good, perhaps my favorite of yours now, and while yeah, it lacks a gallery, differents ennemies and more troops, it's still a fun time. Short, but fun.
Also, don't balance it too hard: part of the fun of these games is to break them.
Ok the game is good and all
But you gooootta do something about foxy.
The energy she steals you just get way too high, way too fast.
How am I supposed to do anything when she steals me 12% and then, less than an hour later, and even tho I keep watching her on my cam to calm her down, 15%!
That's ridiculous! On night 6, I wasn't even at 3am and she already stole me litterally 45% of my energy! Without counting the camera!
Voilà tout le texte:
Texte du menu: "POUR JOUER EN RUSSE, APPUYEZ SUR LA FLECHE HAUT / POUR JOUER EN UKRAINIEN APPUYEZ SUR LA FLECHE BAS"

niveau 07: "NOIR ET GRIS PENSERENT QUE BLANC ETAIT SUREMENT TOMBE DANS UN TROU.

niveau 09: "BLANC AVAIT LES JAMBES TROP ENDOLORI POUR SAUTER SANS S'AIDER D'UN MUR PROCHE,

TOUJOURS, NOIR POUVAIS COMPTER SUR GRIS ET BLANC.
TOUJOURS, GRIS POUVAIS COMPTER SUR BLANC ET NOIR."
niveau 19: "ENSEMBLE, BLANC, GRIS ET NOIR ETAIENT SORTI DU PUIT.

MUSIQUES: EYE OF THE STORM , JRPG PIANO2 ET JRPG KEYS PAR JOSH
CREE PAR MARIONLASTICOT EN ESPERANT QUE CA VOUS AIS PLU!"
et finallement: "FIN"
Soooooo...
I like the idea of being forced to bake food for a muppet or else you get killed, and it could have make a nice twist on the usual horror trope of "child friendly thing become bad", but indeed the game is empty, not really a game.
This, to me, is a first game jam game in which you all aimed way too big. You can feel this precisely in how most things are nicely *started* but stopped at like, 20%. If you all get to make another game jam, aim smaller, and even before that, trying to make a game, a very small game, for yourself, just to see how the team work could help a ton.
Still, if the game get a full release, or at least an updated version, I'd love to try it.
