I'd like some feedback on the core gameplay of my solo project: I Am The King https://blackkatana.itch.io/i-am-the-king
I know there are a lot of rough parts such as limited tile sets and some bugs, but I want to know if the combat is fun for a general audience and not just hardcore Devil May Cry/God of War enthusiasts. Any other feedback is welcome of course!
hey. your game plays well. Nice pixel art and animations.
The combat is excellent.
The only issue IMO is the key mapping.
WASD for movement is fine. But 7,8, 9, <space> and <shift> for actions is a little uncomfortable and counter intuitive. The keys are all over the place and I need to do a bit of stretching to hit the right keys when I need to. Also pressing <shift> rapidly brings up sticky keys on my system.
If you put the action keys as I,O,P and K instead, it would make more sense ergonomically, as both my hands would be positioned close enough to each other.
EDIT : Nevermind. I just discovered that you can customize the key mapping. :D
Other than that:
- it might be nice to have save points or the ability to save and load games.
- enemy health bars appear to be made with the default draw function in Gamemaker. Maybe you could use some sprites instead.
- tile work needs more work
- whats up with the tree attacking me? lol.
Anyway, good work. Hope you continue developing this.
