Unfortunately even on the post-jam version I was unable to switch weapons in the field, or get any red material (even the big enemy didn't seem to drop it for me), so I had given up after a few rounds.
Reminds of games like Papers Please in a weird way, could use some timers and punishments for getting the wrong choice in, similar to those, if you expand it in the future :)
I really like that the tutorials are done diegetically, via these billboards that appear in the environment, the jump is a little floaty, but with more time and levels this could be amazing.
The punch down to go up was pretty cool but the movement / jumping felt floaty and I ended up cheesing it by just spamming the jump and getting stuck on terrain.
Cool visual style and sound design, gameplay could have been developed more, plenty of hits were unavoidable because I cant see them through the rock passing by the camera
After years of battling addiction, I have given up the substances and now live peacefully in the mountains, spending my days vlogging and hiding from civilians.
Great game btw, definitely a top contender for best humor.
Amazing art and the 3D effect is done very well, at the moment though it is a bit too easy to just full sprint everywhere, I think the homes and sprinting should make guards come towards you, but other than that, well done!
Getting people to gas stations and blowing them up is fun and the bonk sound is good, not very polished though, I fell through the map pretty quickly and could have used some barriers around the park.
I am not a monster, I am a TECHNO BDSM WIZARD, and I shall slay the kink shamers.
Movement and art is great.
However, I am going to go against the grain and say that the main gimmick of the game, is just not very good.
In it's current form, it does not really challenge the player to "balance their mana and health", it instead, completely grinds the game to a halt and encourages the player to stab themselves against a wall, hold right click for half a minute while their health goes up and mana goes down, ad nauseam until your health is full, and your mana is 3/4 full, and since mana always pays back more health than the amount, it just stalls the game at random points in time.
After defeating the final boss, I noticed the ball it left behinds moves, and the gate was the same color, I spent a few minutes frustratingly chasing after the moving spikes to try and get some mana back, because I thought it was a puzzle to move the ball into the gate.
Then I realized all I had to do was walk through the gate...
Overall, its good, just that I don't think the main gimmick added anything to the game.
The movement speed should have been faster though, my character feels like they are constantly walking in a meter of mud, and I am not sure why I am the monster here.
Well done, the idea of a reverse monster hunter can definitely be expanded on later on, currently its a bit confusing as to what is attacking your eggs or not, but I like the idea!
If this is a demo for an inventory management system you made in 3 days, then its quite impressive.
The gameplay loop though, is not particularly interesting, at first I had no clue what to do, then I figured out it's essentially just grabbing items from a chest and walking into a character.
