The gameplay was overall a bit... confusing? Sometimes bosses would one shot me and other times they wouldn't - seems a bit random. What I did like however is the fact that you had different music for different worlds. Reminded me of the really early Runescape music which is always a plus.

Yeah that was definitely something that we struggled with; since there was so much content to make, balancing the fights kinda lagged behind getting everything in there. Thanks for playing :)

The combat didn't work for me. I tried to attack but couldn't choose a target. I liked the light hearted writing.

The randomness of the bosses made the game interesting. Great job on a fun game :)

It is a bit strange, I have not understood

Unable to run game: game window opens and then immediately closes. I'm on Windows 7 with Java build 1.7.0_67-b01.

@Piscythe: Very sorry to hear that; if there's any chance you could run the game from a command prompt using "java -jar <filename>.jar" and send me the error you're getting I'd very much appreciate it.

I've not heard of that particular crash so I'm afraid I don't know what's going wrong. Thanks for your feedback :)

The error I get on Linux is this: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Shader compilation failed, TesseractMain.loadShader(TesseractMain.java:714)

I get the same error as sftrabbit, Mac OS 10.9.

@Pyscythe, @sftrabbit, @prophile: Thanks for your feedback! I've uploaded a bugfix version which should disable the shader on your machines so it's playable. Hopefully that did it!

Aww, too bad you couldn't fix the crash when going to the last world, I really wanted to see it :P
Nice game overall, I really liked the npcs dialogues :)

Quite confusing but a nice little game! Like the retro art style :)

A bit confusing

Glad to see you delved into creating your own art!

ETC (from Creative Sectors):
It's like the old Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Dragon Warrior games and like that strange similarity between this and our games (Conexus Terra). We built on the narrative context instead a fighting role playing style. Anyway it was a great experience to crash into the final door, it was a great surprise.
