Nice sound effects, and quite a heavy-metal singer he is, if these are his songs :) Cooldown feedback would have been nice. Currently I'm just spamming buttons waiting for things to happen. Otherwise controls work, in general. Navigating the room is pretty easy.
Nice sound effects but a I missed a menu. A jump feature would be great
Nice and simple game, but i could spam. Nice pixel graphics.
I had my earphones plugged when I launched the attack "song". I understand what the opponents suffer. Straight forward concept.
I think you should fix your code for how you spawn enemies and the player. I spawned in a wall and saw several enemies in walls. Allso after I killed an enemy he spawned right above me and killed me.
Thanks for feedback. About cooldown timer and spawn problems - I was simply running out of time, so I had to skip that. And menu... Well, when I remembered that I need one, it was already too late
Like the use of the Bard's voice to allow him to fly or kill enemies.
Need to have checks that the maps are "possible", as there were lots of games you couldn't fit through. But I think the concept could be worked on and improved :D
It's an interesting idea, and I like the art and music, but the controls are simply too awkward. I really like the idea of limiting the ability to jump. I thought that, with 100 health points, I would be able to escape death if cornered but it seems like it's just an insta death if you get caught on a block or something.
Very hard and panicky but I love it
Nice and quite challenging after all, I just wish the jump was a little more sensitive because sometimes you're just too slow to dodge enemies.
thoughts:
- nice music [ well, the song that is playing, not so much the bard's singing ;-) ]
- maybe check the collision mechanics: sometimes the bard fit between two blocks and sometimes he didn't
(- why .7z? 'jar' is already an archive, and it doesn't seem to do much for the .wav file ... but using 7zip can limit your audience to people knowing that particular format)
Yeah, after submitting I've noticed some problems with collision, will definitely fix it.
Why '.7z'? I just didn't even choose, it's common format for me, so adding '.zip' now.
Seems like this game is very much in the "didn't have time to do everything I wanted" category. It comes of pretty well despite all that.
Love the soundtrack. GREAT JOB!
Cooldown feedback would be great to have! Other than that, solid game.
I ran the game, died instantly, then I ran it again and ended up spawned in a wall xD but it's a nice little game when I got to play it. A very unconventional weapon!
-Neith
I managed to get down to "-2 enemies to kill" :)
Game should have ended on 12 killed enemies, but one wrong variable and it's infinite now. With negative enemies left. And '8 enemies to kill' on start
Interesting game. Yes, it would be great to see the codling between abilities and prevent the enemies from spawning inside the blocks which can make the game impossible.
An indicator of the cooldown would be nice, but simple and fun to play. Sometimes the random level generation would put enemies in places I couldn't get into.
It's quite a simple game, and there are a couple bugs (the player and enemy could spawn in walls for example), but the art and music was pretty cool, and the 'weapon' was pretty funny :)
I'd say a cooldown bar or something would be helpful, because it's hard for the player to tell when the next song is ready. Other than those (easily fixable) bugs, it's a pretty cool game.
Cute little game, couldn't kill the last guy in the level though since it got stuck between floating blocks and the player can't fly and fire at the same time. Nice work!
When I press Q to fly, my character starts going up and never comes back down. As a result, the game is unplayable for me.
