A Great Game. So beautiful. Try it now.

Cool game, nice graphics but it's hard ^^' !

A solid attempt. I had trouble knowing what colors does what (and scrolling down to the description while the game is running is not a good idea ;-)), and sometimes the enemies hit you multiple times in one tick. The character model and the walk cycle are great though.

Beautiful execution. a little confusing with all the numbers, but i'm sure it'd become clearer if I played longer. Nice one.

It's very beautiful. There's no audio :(
It is somewhat annoying that the characters move so much slower than the background. It is hard to know when an enemy will hit you. Maybe make the colliders smaller? Also, clicking on the screen might not be the best input method for using the abilities. How about the Numbers on the keyboard? The animation is also quiet nice.

Not a bad submission, although it feels like it was lacking. Maybe a better explanation of what I was supposed to be doing would be enough?

Good job with the graphics, I like it!

Great silhouetted character animation.

jsmars 2015-04-20 06:45

Nice looking game! A bit difficult to know when attacks will hit or not, and what do you do when your all out of attacks?

dusho 2015-04-20 06:48

That was fun but hard. Art is amazing.

terrabalt 2015-04-20 06:52

That was... an interesting game. although i must ask; what's the "Unconventional Weapon"? sorry if this sound stupid

insignia 2015-04-20 07:26

@Terrabalt: The "Unconventional Weapon" that Kala is carrying is the Mystical Talking Ward Staff, Rajnish. It can convert essence in the surroundings into forces of destruction and protection, as shown in the game. Being as old as he is, he's quite serious and sometimes doesn't get jokes. He acts as a foil to Kala's more easy going attitude.

Yes, I had all this planned out but couldn't get to it. :(

You've made a really pretty game. I like what you've done with the theme too!

daredevildave 2015-04-20 17:06

Interesting, like the style. It took a while to work out exactly what was going on. Would be nicer if the instructions were a little clearer.

artylo 2015-04-20 18:18

Good graphics, but really confusing as to what is what and how to play in general without written instructions.

I only made it (and died) on the first boss. I do wish there was more of a sense of progression b.g changes or music changing or something. I was about to give up then the boss showed up and whooped me. Checkpoints for the weak? I would love to see your other bosses but don't want to replay the first part.

The mechanics are really interesting (having to clear if you attack) and your choices can be interesting as well. At first I thought it was bugged because of dying with 5 lives (but then I read the description more carefully about attack/clear). The clicking input is a bit odd. I suppose it worked though!

Excellent artwork...especially those player animations.

christophowa 2015-04-20 23:35

It's cool art, the game itself is hard, although a lot of that is because of things like bullets still flying through the air when you respawn.

geckoo1337 2015-04-22 04:31

A nice infinite runner game. Maybe it can be improved by other features and a music as a background. A solid attempt. Thank you ++

redding 2015-04-23 23:11

I'm a little bit confused on how the numbers work, but otherwise good job!

d3garcia 2015-04-23 23:13

Good idea but needs to be more polish in the collisions while attacking

kitsubi 2015-04-23 23:16

I really like the graphics. I had a bunch of trouble with the controls leaving the window and highlighting the entire webpage. When you get hit in the middle of the screen you often respawn just in time to get hit a second time before you can react.

langouste 2015-04-29 16:47

Super Game! I love it ;) Thanks

cmayhem 2015-05-04 10:40

The controls are a bit... unique but the graphics are quite beautiful. Very cool!

curial 2015-05-04 11:34

Nice music theme and graphics but I suggest to reconsider the mouse controls to keyboard keys.

I underestimated my time too, so all my sympathy about your feelings ^^

onlyslightly 2015-05-05 03:48

I really liked the art and animation you put into your game. I also liked the story you framed it in. That was bold of you to choose such an intricate fighting system.

shyupuff 2015-05-09 07:12

Fun, hitboxes a bit weird on my side. A bit difficult, but I really enjoyed it! Nice job with the art (:

zeriver 2015-05-09 10:26

At first it was kinda hard to get grasp on game mechanics, but when you get it, it's quite fun to play. I like art and your innovative approach.
BTW: sometimes hit boxes are a bit buggy.

Pretty Game ! Run Smooth and flawless .. nice graphics and mechanics.
