Your parallax-scrolling moves faster than your foreground, completely shattering the illusion of depth that parallaxing is supposed to do.
Also there's no indication that you shouldn't leave the screen to the right to continue the game, but when you do you can't get back on and the game is now broken. A simple solid object should fix that.
You have the start of a game. Develop it further.
Nice art!
Really like the backgrounds, looked like it was shaping up to something interesting!
@binarycoder: We fell short on the programming, came out a bit shoddy :<
Great job! That's a lot of work you put into this. Cool character design, and I love the guitar solo magic attack! It does feel like a missed opportunity to have a game about fighting with musical notes and not having any sound. Also the parallax is a bit jarring. I would also recommend keeping the dead bodies of enemies around, it gives a sense of progression and "badassery". A couple bugs to note: At one point the enemies stopped showing up, and my character wouldn't stop moving to the left. But like I said, a wonderfully themed game and great visual designs. Keep it up!
Really liked the idea maybe you just needed some more time to polish up the game play.
Loved the idea of a guitar as a weapon and would really like to see you continue this.
I too went too far right and had to restart the game. I had a play for a while and it was fun! Thanks
As the others said the parallax is very odd, also the controls are a bit buggy... well maybe all the game is a bit buggy but i had some fun trying to discover all the bug.
Voted 5 for mood because this https://twitter.com/StrayByte/status/590965725998776322
[If a non italian speaker what to know, here a rough translation: It was exiting, i shouted code while my wife shouted illustration. It was pure magic]
Great work! I like the idea and I thought Bard's animation was pretty cool. I do think audio is a big component to this so I would have liked to see that in the game.
Really fun graphics! :D Though would've loved to hear the audio that you were going to use (as it seems to be a music themed game).
Don't worry about running out of time, we uploaded an unfinished game as well. :P
Game has nice smooth controls. Background is moving too fast, it is probably most problematic thing on this game. Keep working on it.
Thanks for all the great feedback! We're working into improving the game as we want to actually make a full fledged, sellable game. Thanks!
Cool idea and really unique art style! Great use of the theme, as well.
It seems like I was taking damage from bullets below me when I was jumping while pressing A, but I didn't investigate it much further, as I was busy shooting up robits!
Background art was better than the foreground art.... Not bad overall tho PS MAKE A LINUX VERSION!!!
Great idea! Fun art style and good game mechanic! Would love to play this game with some bad ass sounds :D
I like the art style!! Maybe, the game is too easy, at least at the beginning!
Really nice entry for an "unfinished" one. I like mechanics, it has potential :D
For what you have so far, this is pretty darn cool even without the audio. Please keep working on this, its a great idea! Good work!!
Also I do owe you thanks for testing my game before the jam ended, you helped me lots! :D
Hah You're welcome Robot :p
Thanks for all the feedbacks!
Dig the stick figure design ^^
Not bad, but it's kinda awkward jump with D when you have Up Arrow Key free.
