Haha, at first I was upset about the lack of music, and then I figured it out. Fun and a little tough :)

fil00dl 2014-12-09 13:36

really epic and fun! i like the various boss patterns

Three words to describe this game: EPIC BOSS FIGHT ahaha, loving the fluid animation along with the screen shake(abit excessive but it wasnt too bad). Overall I really enjoyed this game! Love the character too reminded me of the character from journey which im an absolute fan of

brethudson 2014-12-09 13:37

Love it! The zoom feature was something I considered, but didn't feel I could pull it off right. It was PERFECT in this. I quickly went from feeling like the master to an ant when the screen zoomed out, and that was pretty exciting. Great music, lovely art, and a simple but fun game!

biscuitwizard 2014-12-09 13:37

Hah! This was way more difficulty than I thought it would.

Love the attention to detail with the little guy's idle animations. I died many times.

tritegames 2014-12-09 13:37

Woohooo EPIC BOSS FIGHT!! :D Very cool animations and art style and fitting sounds. Nice job!

murchurl 2014-12-09 13:42

Stunning graphics! Really nice game mechanics! Quite difficult as well, overall amazing effort!

mmoustafa 2014-12-09 13:45

This is amazing. I absolutely love this. I love how the mood and how extremely epic it is. You're this awesome lone hero fighting the brutal demon with nothing but your agility.

It's very fun! Some things were not immediately obvious at first. For example I didn't know that I was supposed to hit him. A lot of times I tried getting behind his mouth when he was shooting the beam down vertically, but I ended up dying, even though I felt I was "behind" where his mouth is.

How long is it? I've only managed to get to the second part where his arms show. I'll definitely keep trying though!

Really fun game. I think it was also pretty clever how Z was to start, and you dashed. It immediately introduced you to the dash without having to have any kind of guide or tutorial.

monsieurvinou 2014-12-09 13:46

Really cool game! If only boss fights were always this cool!

Jeremias 2014-12-09 13:52

A Hyper Light Drifter homage. Short, but to the point!

freaknarf 2014-12-09 13:53

Perfect a good boss fight :) I really like visuals ! and gameplay reminds me arcade hits, GREAT !More bosses coming ?
Cheers!

christopf 2014-12-09 13:53

died so often...has a good feel in general but i sometimes felt like not seeing where i'm hitting exactly. I think it would be nice to split dashing and hitting on two separate buttons.

plonkydonkey 2014-12-09 13:56

Great game, love the art and the design...

dieblume86 2014-12-09 14:03

Really fun fight.

ryannielson 2014-12-09 14:08

This game looks fantastic, I love the concept of a game that's just a big boss fight.

I have an issue with the controls though. I think you should have made it fully mouse driven almost like diablo. With the dash handled by clicking, which makes the character move toward the mouse. I think that control change would take this game to another level.

Good work.

dracomagna 2014-12-09 14:09

Awsesome game, I love all the effects and the screen shake!
Really fun, great work! :D

thescragglyman 2014-12-09 14:14

Amazing, literally speechless !

ronnyegt 2014-12-09 14:18

It was a great experience, although I wish it could of had been longer/infinite, but worth playing :D

kk 2014-12-09 14:28

Evrything is great!!
Add some punch effect it would be more epic

ilokimo 2014-12-09 14:29

The music is enticing, the gameplay nervous and addictive, the graphics sober yet beautiful. I like also that this is a boss-fight only, however the instant-death meachnism is a bit of a fun-killer

spilim 2014-12-09 15:05

Excelent graphics and art style, fun but simple gameplay, nice job =) Could'nt beat the game yet though, too hardcore for me haha

plasterphantom 2014-12-09 15:09

The style of the monster reminds me of Shadow of The Colossus! Really cool game, screen shake might be a bit excessive imo. I really love the minimalistic style. Feels epic, as it should be. Fun and smooth to play! Props!

spilim 2014-12-09 15:46

I'be beaten it now haha epic indeed

lolshouse 2014-12-09 15:54

Fun, colourful and exciting.

ddrkirbyisq 2014-12-09 16:04

Haha, not bad. Instant bias for the Journey-like character and Shadow of the Colossus-like boss, of course. In future LDs you need to make your restarts less punishing just to avoid frustration.

maurogik 2014-12-09 16:27

One word : EPIK ! Great job !

fullmontis 2014-12-09 16:43

Fantastic controls, and an epic fight. My only complaint is that it is too short. Otherwise its a great game!

indie4fun 2014-12-09 17:03

epic is the word. Really nice graphics and a quite smooth gameplay.

threef 2014-12-09 17:10

Graphics are cute, but gameplay is too simple. I was expecting more boss waves. :/ Still it's good entry.

ams 2014-12-09 17:11

Really cool boss battle and attack mechanic! I love how he dashes when he attacks, so stylish~ I particularly love the clean vectorial graphics. I'd like too see a full-fledged execution of this concept :D

mechamew 2014-12-09 21:54

Visually this is just superb! Awesome sense of mood!

admix 2014-12-11 11:19

Solid game! I love how you gradually add new things. =)

night 2014-12-11 16:14

One of the best I saw on this compo! Really cool animation and lots of drive. I'll play again in the future. Perfect timekiller for me.

runvs 2014-12-11 20:31

Nice Game. I like the music and the sound effects. To battle the boss feels great!

christinaneofotistou 2014-12-12 11:52

Awesome you guys! I felt it's a little too harsh, going back to the start, but I fought on. The giant enemy is kinda breathtaking. Awesome animations, and a cool attack.

You rock :D

drgeraud 2014-12-13 16:50

The dash/attack mechanic is great !

rono 2014-12-13 18:08

No Audio rating? Damn it was quite nice. Like this for a boss fight prototype!

mach60kas 2014-12-13 18:46

I really liked that, super short with a wonderful sense of style. Great music, interesting gameplay and polish in almost all aspects. My only gripe was that the animation on the boss sometimes felt a little bit 'off', but I love almost everything else.

Keep up the great work everyone! :)

off 2014-12-13 19:39

Make me think to Hyperlight Drifter.

Truly nice, make the level before the boss and i will buy a game like that.

The control and the game feel are really perfect.

teameagle 2014-12-13 20:00

@Grindstorm, we've excluded the audio option since you're asked to do that if you haven't made the audio within the jam time or even yourself for that matter. :)

rnlf 2014-12-13 20:43

Wow, screen shake explosion :D

This game sounds, looks and feel awesome. Keep up the good work!

torcado194 2014-12-13 21:59

wow! the art style is awesome, and the idea is great. i wish attack and dash were different buttons though

saintheiser 2014-12-14 04:41

Hard as hell.

spotco 2014-12-14 07:19

Love it! Would have said to add checkpoints, but the part I kept dying on was the very last pattern. It's never fun to repeat the same thing over an over again, but really great "wow moment" short experience.

delahee 2014-12-16 10:42

Awesome game!
A bit rough when the stones fall on your head. The feeling when you hit the boss is great. Very good game, one of my favorite.

shadow64 2014-12-18 04:31

Really enjoyed this. The move set is nice. It ramps up nicely, even though it gets crazy quick. You pretty much figure out what you need to do from the get go. I only got to what I will admiringly call "double lazer mouth time," so I'm not sure how close I got to the end.

It's a really original choice, I think and I appreciated the music. The art style is really cool and reminds me a little bit of Journey.

Excited to see what else you do. Thanks again for checking out and commenting on Natquik. It's much appreciated! And congrats on getting your entry in! :D

mathmadlen 2014-12-28 03:05

Absolutely gorgeous, fun, fluid gameplay, nice animations - great work!
