To be faire, even reading the isntructions i was a bit lost on what to do. The "hurt" sound was quite loud. Not too sure of what i played but i hope you keep developping :)
Great package ! Some tweaks here and there would make it perfect, like any gamejam game. But overall once you get the hang of it, this is very good. Was amazed you made a whole crafting system in there !
If you did the art and music woah this is very cool ! The atmosphere is great.
I had a bit of trouble with the paltforming. The concept is great but not being able to jump, velocity.x being locked i think when jumping etc made it a bit clunky and i couldn't go further than the little cave. It seems you can also hardlock yourself when using ghosts.
Very impressive for a few weeks of godot experience and first gamejam ! Congrats
Concept was well executed, maybe a bit frustrating to not be able to stop certain animals because of player speed. Sounds were also a bit annoying after a certain time.
Maybe starting at the place the character does (having to go back then double jump at an angle) is a bit frustrating. I think the pixel art resolution can give a bit of motion sickness when going that fast.
Loved the aesthetic and what you went for in a single week !
Well that's a comment I didn't expect ^^ ! I guess keeping a tight palette makes anything look good ! (My talents with photoshop vector are not great). Thanks, I'm glad you liked it :D
It's explained succintly on the game page with a screenshot ! On playtest this was the mechanic that was the most often forgotten. If I had more time I would put some effects to show it.
A card can produce twice as much symbols if you provide twice as much blood as needed ! This is not very well explained in lvl 3 ! Hope you can finish what is the last lvl !
Hey ! I know this mechanic wasn't too well communicated, but a card can produce 2 symbols if you provide twice as much blood as needed ;) This is the last level btw, you get a little lore fluff and a different music if you finish it !
Cool concept, tho only having one possibility of a god per life restricts gameplay quite a bit.
Some (I hope) constructive notes (most of it is if you had more time) :
- A pool of health maybe would have been more enjoyable
- Sometimes the screen stayed red for some reason
- Missing some SFX and feedback for hitting
- I'm in love with the triangles faces
- As you said restart doesn't work, try to not link code to something that can't despawn ;) (hook it to the root node of the scene or make it an autoload game manager)
You are thinking about making a fully fleshed out game as you say on the game's page. If you find it fun, go for it. But maybe you could learn more engine and code knowledge by experimenting on very small projects like this one first ?
Awesome work: - Great and unique artstyle, a bit of motion sickness for me (probably the static "rock" texture) while mooving - Cool and simple narrative - Animations and music are great - Gameplay simple but effective, dash feels great - I went to the forest first so I did a lot of backtracking, not the most enjoyable with enemy respaw
- Missing some UI for dash CD and items
- Sometimes you get hit particles from enemy but no health damage
Yes I did put a 2sec delay between the end of level box and the win condition achieved but the speed of it makes it still hard to understand what you did right the first levels.
