Had a bit of fun. Realized halfway through you can jump in the air and have permanent airtime, which led me to try all sorts of things before falling off the map and causing the game to basically hang.
A fun little gem, but not too innovative. Seemed to twist the theme on its head, as it was more 'above the surface' than 'beneath the surface'.
Story line was way to long to get started. Some bugs, but cool idea.
I have to say, I absolutely love the particle effects you utilized in this game. The aesthetic is very well-made, and the controls are tight. You did a great job, and I can see this game being expanded upon in the future!
@Exeneva
Oh no, you should't be able to jump in the air :) !
About the theme: I was initially planning to make the enemies to come from the ground, but I didn't have time to implement it :(
@Jared & cirolve
Thanks!
That was truly fun, being able to shoot the ground and jump up higher because of it was a nice touch. The little intro dialogue made me scared but also pissed off with revenge the first time I saw those monsters, so good job making me feel engaged. Overall this was a kick-ass game, really good job! :)
@IAmSpencer
Thanks a lot! And like I said above, the "nice touch" is a bug! But maybe it's a good bug :)
Beautiful game. Great Narration (I love story)
The writing is solid -- very nice expo dump. The pinata spray of bullet ricochets hid the enemy's shots, however.
Yeah, I don't see this game's relevance to the theme as-is, but it's a fun adventure. Love the way the gravity changes when you're outdoors. I kinda wish the enemy fire was easier to see amongst all the flying particle effects.
Has lots of fun paying it. Visuals are really good
The art style is beautiful. I also liked the dialogue.
I discovered I could shoot enemies through walls.
"Sorry for shortness and lack of content"
Haha, never a need to apologize for something like that in an LD. Very good work.
Excellent art
Beautiful game and excellent story! Good job!
Couldn't actually run the game - I just got to the "press any key" screen, but it wouldn't recognise anything :(
Nice little game. Short and sweet. The door locking mechanic is interesting except it didn't seem to achieve anything, the floating heads just float through them. The achingly slow elevator while battling was quite effective in building tension and frustration :)
Loved the storyline at the start - got me all excited about what I might face! Then was honestly a little disappointed when the baddies turned out to be strange little alligator dudes. That said, well executed narrative on top of an ok side scroller. No audio hurt this game a lot. It would have added a ton to the atmosphere. Also, the final wave battle to protect Emily was WAY too long!
a fun game !
