Really nice graphics. My favorite part is how health is managed. I love that you lose a part of yourself, literally.

Good controls and nice looking particle system on the guy you control. I would have liked to move a bit faster. The enemies were well designed as well. I would have liked to be able to skip the intro cutscene. Not really in the mood for that at 4am in the morning ;)

Wow. That was really fun. The graphics were well done, too.

Fantastic game! Congratulations, the gameplay is awesome and the sounds are great, I just think about the square shape of the enemies, it can be a problem, and it is, over all in the last boss, the boss is not able to reach the hero.

Congratulations, the game was very good.
Already downloaded the source code and am studying it.

@allanolivei
Nice :D, Let me know if you have any doubt, and I apologize in advance for the disorder of some parts of the code...

I love the movement of the player. Nice physics. Very good game.

Its great to see an intro video because they are so rare, but maybe make it skiable after the first time you have watched it. However that is such a minor grumble on what is an excellent game.

Top marks for graphics for sure! You have obviously put in a load of polish and I think this game will rate really high.

"I'll also miss you" made me chuckle far too much. It's a lovely game though, great looking too!

The game was interesting to play and decently fun. It felt very short, though. A decent choice of unconventional weapon.

The bg music was pleasant, and there were decent sfx. However, it wasn't easy to figure out if I was actually doing any damage to the enemies. My first play through, I didn't kill any enemies until I got to the boss, because I couldn't figure out if I was doing anything by hitting them with the ball. I did figure it out on my second time through, though.

Nice job! The graphics were a bit inconsistent, the player was done really well, but the enemies were a bit "meh". Nevertheless, I liked it, and played through the whole thing. :)

maral 2015-04-20 11:58

Very nice game! Cute particle graphics, I love it!

syawqy 2015-04-20 12:52

I like those liquid effect thing

celt 2015-04-20 17:45

This was fun to play! I really like those particle effects and the movement feels totally smooth. The enemies are freaking me out :D

tijn 2015-04-20 19:08

This is a really amazing game. I can't believe you did all this in just a weekend. It looks great, it sounds great, it plays great. I'll come back to this one for sure!

hyoga-3d 2015-04-20 20:22

Nice game, controls play very well, but could work on graphics more.

calavera 2015-04-20 22:10

I really like the slime sort of effect on the player. the soul weapon is also very fun.

awestsecurity 2015-04-21 01:28

Very fun game. Solid level design and the mechanics worked great. I think the AI could use an upgrade. The enemies just seemed to get mad and wait for me to kill them. It would be cool to zoom out for the boss fight. I stayed in the corner and never really got to see much of it.

2015-04-21 07:03

Very funny game! Congratulations, it is very original!

gamedevextreme 2015-04-21 18:21

I will comment with a link to gameplay and review video soon.

multiplexor 2015-04-21 22:30

GameDevExtreme: Thank you very much :D

officialcodenmore 2015-04-21 23:32

Great game, very fun indeed, it feels good too!

gamedevextreme 2015-04-22 11:20

Very impressive! The weapon has a great feel to it and the design really makes you use it in very interesting ways :)

Graphics look super nice and the background music is fitting and suspenful.

Really impressive work in terms of overall design, supported by wonderful execution.

blobo 2015-04-25 01:53

Really well done! really nice concept and i loved the art. the music was grat too, and the weapon was indeed unconventional.

samh 2015-04-26 18:37

An excellent game! It might be a bit too easy, but I definitely enjoyed playing it. Congrats for having music, checkpoints, a boss battle, and a working Linux version! Makes me wish for more levels using the game mechanics, with different themes, new enemies, new hazards.

chris-mondok 2015-05-02 00:38

The player looks pretty cool, but it's very hard to tell where his bounds end, which makes platforming awkward.

chaoseed 2015-05-02 01:56

Really awesome animation and particle effects! The characters are cute, even the 'monsters'. The gameplay is pretty solid, and the bouncing ball physics is neat. It's certainly an 'unconventional' idea too, so that's good.

landosystems 2015-05-02 01:58

What a lovely art style. Fun game play and solid conrols. Great work!

nightshadow0 2015-05-02 19:12

Solid entry. A little too easy, especially the boss, but enjoyable all around. Nice work!

taro 2015-05-08 03:42

Kind of wish the character moved faster, but other than that, thought it was a really solid entry. Those camera shakes are really nice.

jupiter_hadley 2015-05-20 16:02

Cute little soul! Neat game. I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/m_vzNeNUn1c
