Controls could've been a bit tighter, but maybe it was all in the acid-monster theme! Took me a few times before it registered that I hit the first guy, then he just always killed me with a death ray. I'm terrible at games. Good job, anyway!
I couldn't get it to work, just black screen, may be because I am on Microsoft edge.. will give it a go on firefox to see if its that. could be that I need some addon that I don't have installed.
@LewisChaplin that's weird. It's a HTML 5 game, should work normally in any browser. Construct 2 does use WebGL, I don't know if there is any relation but that's the only think I can think of...
@tc4mpbell Thank you for playing! You must be hitting him with the top of the monster's head. I had to take away the collision polygons from the very top of the head because it was glitching with the platforms :(
From the top eye below, all polygons are working fine.
Cool boss designs! Unfortunately, I only saw 4 of them...the game's bosses are well designed, but with loose controls and HUGE hitboxes it was incredibly difficult to even kill the first one. I think the 'pun' of each boss taking 5 hits to kill wasn't quite worth the difficulty of running through the 3 or 4 cycles required to kill them, especially considering that figuring out the optimal strat for each boss involves dying a lot of times. I will say, I really liked the electricity boss in concept since you could abuse the left antenna to get in double hits per cycle, but the electricity moved so slow and with such a large hitbox that jumping over them was infeasible.
I think the game would be significantly more enjoyable with tighter controls and less hp on the bosses, but those are easy fixes. Congrats on the entry!
@sepharoth213 That was an amazing feedback, thank you very much! One of the tricky parts of designing each boss fight was determining the number of hits needed to take them down and I acknowledge now that 5 hits maybe was too much. I'll try to adjust the electricity hitbox to be more fair in a post-Ludum Dare version.
Idea is excellent, boss battles each with their own formula, really enjoyed.
Fun game, one of the better ones I've played so far. The 5th boss where he teleports into the laser shot seems to take too many hits. I hit him 5 times and still didn't defeat him. Maybe work on tightening that up a bit more. Besides that it was very fun to figure out the boss patterns to defeat them.
Not too bad, frustratingly difficult though
i really liked the audio, however the objective was pretty unclear within the game and couldn't figure out how to kill the enemy.
@TeamOA It's all about figuring out the boss patterns! :)
@davidcmcdonald The "cutscene" right before the game starts explains that you cause damage if you touch living beigns. Just touch a boss with the character and bingo!
Thank you all for playing!
If i could rate this game in the "Frustration" category, I'd give it a 5/5 XD I killed all of them, and it was such a joy every time. THEY made me a monster !
This game made me curse so much, but I loved the challenge ! Each battle was epic, interesting and unique. Sadly the jump is a bit wonky and the monster very slippery. But I'm guessing it's part of the design. Funnily, the first boss seemed to be the most difficult one. Maybe because it's the one when I learned how to control this monster.
Music is not bad but unfortunately it keeps restarting every time we die.
tried it today and it is working, think it was just my internet! was good fun quite hard! but I think that's a good thing.
Challenging, fun game. I included it in part 5 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UXRiA5Goh28
This game is a boss run well done, but with some flags. The controls could be more precise and the hitboxes are too big. I love the music and fx, and the atmosphere and mood of the game. Nice work :-)
Good boss design!
@Strike Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
@LewisChaplin I'm glad it all worked out in the end :)
@Jupiter_Hadley Thank you! And thank you for your continuous support to the indie community!
@MechanicMoon Thank you for the feedback! I'll work on it in a post-jam version :)
Good game :) I didn't see all the "heroes" but I love the fact they have different powers, and so different levels of difficulty.
The idea is great, sound fit very well too i think. But i really had problems with the controls and the difficulty. alreay gave up on first boss :(
I really liked the general idea of the game. The controls could have been a bit tighter, as a lot of the time I couldn't move out of the way of attacks and felt a little bit cheated.
Very good idea and story, I love the monster ! That was pretty difficult (or maybe I'm not good at it ^^)
I got interested when I saw your first screenshot! I liked the concept, graphics and audio are nice. But I wasn't able to pass the first enemy hehe
I kept playing it mainly for the story, for some reason. I really like the superhero boss fights. My gripe is that I wish there was a health bar for the bosses, so I could know how close I actually am to beating them. Does their health reset every time I die? I'm honestly really interested in this game, but I only got to level 2. It'd be cool to see what this game could look like with a little more polish.
I'm impressed that you were able to make an all boss fight game with a ton of original songs! Great concept too! The first boss was WAY too hard and the rest were slightly easier but overall I had fun. Thanks!
Game controls are a bit loose, this make the game difficult. Third boss (I thinks it's the third) it's a way too situational, beating him is pretty much related to his raspawn and which pattern his projectiles will follow. I say this only because I think game is nice, also graphics are simple but solid, and I loved the idea about theme: maybe you're the monster, but how many times the monster is just an heroes creation?
Nice entry. :)
@Robot Souls Games: Yes, their health resets every time you die. I thought about adding a healthbar but wasn't able to make it in the end :(
@PeteGrammarman: Thank you for playing! Glad I was able to deliver some fun! :)
@superpatch: Indeed there are certain situations where beating him will be way easier, but this boss fight was designed so you can beat him with any setting created, some more difficult, some easier. Thanks for playing!
Fun game, but really difficult
So hard! But finally I killed the hero that throws you yellow ¿gems?. Well, if you wanted people to hate the members of Justice Five, you got it!
Good job
really hard but fun. Good job for the different patterns
The controls are very slippery, despite how little space to maneuver we have. The creativity on the bosses is A+ though.
Very fun but the controls were a bit slidy.
Pretty fun game, liked it !
Very good game , I really liked the graphics and story. Awesome job!!
Pretty fun. I like how colourful the graphics are. Nice job!
Cool start, and good idea. I felt a bit frustrated just having to endure fights without attack, and it is quite a difficult game... Cool Boss paterns, but the player feels a bit weak :)
I wasn't able to play - when I make it up the platforms to touch the first guy, it doesn't do anything! I tried multiple times but no result. Perhaps I'm not actually dangerous. I'm not a monster!
The controls feel really sloppy as the monster slides around too much. I hit the superman hero a few times, but he didn't appear to take any damage. Maybe the hero needs a health meter.
Wow, I don't know if it's just me, but this felt "nintendo hard" haha. Loved the idea, enjoyed the artwork, would've liked a HUD, otherwise though, really enjoyed the game!
@GaTechGrad: The damage indicator is the distinctive sound and the hit animation. Note, however, that if you are hit after hitting them, you start over. Healthbars are definitely a must, still don't know how I missed them. But I'm working on it for the post-jam version. Thanks for playing!
@Grahhhhh: Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! A HUD with healthbars and tigher controls are on the list for the post-jam version!
I like the concept. The haunting music added to the mood. It was very difficult. I didn't mind the challenge so much as I disliked how much of the challenge came from the character being difficult to control.
Cool game ! it's a kind of hard due to the game physics and hitboxes (and the lack of visual feeback, audio is okay) ... But the concept is really cool, good job :)
Fun idea. I love the concept of you being the one being chased by the heroes. When you're on the other side that you start to realize things such as how super costumes feel weird, or how heroes aren't exactly ethical in many of their tactics either. Who is the hero and who isn't isn't always obvious! I like the fact there is a moral decision after every battle and how it impacts your ending.
I love this concept~~
hope you can release a windows link~
itcho.io's link only can listen music..no image ToT
gamejolt loading is so slowy...
eager to play it ~ the Justice Five is very fun!
Cool idea and story, although I was unable to win level 1 (no worries, this won't affect the rating :) )
