Nice look and feel overall—this is a very polished game. The music and art are great, and I was honestly impressed by the level of polish for a game jam submission.
I have to admit I’m not very familiar with this genre—is this a metroidvania? It also reminded me a bit of Slay the Spire, which my friends enjoy a lot. It seems really cool, but I’ve never quite gotten into this type of game myself.
I tend to prefer games with more racing, shooting, or physical interaction—those are usually more my style. Still, I can definitely appreciate the quality and care that went into this.
I absolutely love the game’s feel and overall mood—it really reminds me of my childhood favorite, Blood Omen 2, especially in terms of atmosphere and visuals.
That said, I did struggle a bit with navigation and figuring out what to do next at times. Still, the petrification system is a very clever use of the theme—easily a 5-star idea on its own. It adds a genuinely creepy touch and really captures that nostalgic 90s vibe.
The only major downside for me was the FPS. It was hitting extremely high numbers (around 600–700 FPS), which my GPU didn’t seem too happy about. Some kind of cap or optimization might help there.
The controls are very nice, and the mood is great with the background music and all! But it's a bit difficult (for non-skilled players like me at least). The character is absolutely adorable and beautifully animated. That said, I feel obligated to report this to the Animal Protection Society—because swinging around by a monkey’s tail seems like some pretty extreme activity 😄 I’m sure he’s well-trained, but it still looks like it might hurt! Maybe next time consider giving the little guy a rope… or even a batarang. I would definietly cap the fps to 60 in order to ease the gpu!
Yes it's a bit repetitive as Imade the game in just the last 4 days before the deadline. The driving is cool though I hope, the car has drift tires. True that Unreal's 2D is somewhat limited but still super fun to play with. I hope they will develop more this side. I saw your monkey, super cool bro. But poor thing it must hurt to swing like that with his tail, poor little monkey. Looks super cool and cute though.
Thanks! happy to hear this. Hahahah yeah it's a bit chaotic lol. The music, a friend of mine who is a music composer ,composed it at the last minute specially tailored for the game:) Cheers!
