Very nice and responsive movement system and enjoyable destruction effects!

Sorry I don't have an XBox controller but it looks very cool!

pokeyone 2015-08-24 14:36

just a tip, you might want to also include keyboard controls for people who don't have a controller

celisoft 2015-08-24 14:38

RAR file is not the best file format to share something.

I really like the attack animations, and I enjoy the concept. I have a controller to use, but I think you need to include keyboard support for all those without...

aurel300 2015-08-24 14:44

Requiring a controller really limits your ratings. :/

emanp 2015-08-24 14:49

No controller :/ I really wanted to play, the animations look so smooth...

tagliatl 2015-08-24 14:52

I'm working on keyboard support, thanks for your feedbacks

azakhary 2015-08-24 14:52

It says X box controller required. Is there a way to play it without?

tuism 2015-08-24 15:26

Nooooo why only windows build :(

tagliatl 2015-08-24 15:57

Keyboard control is now supported!

aurel300 2015-08-24 16:11

Has potential, I see that the feedback, the feel of the moves is quite good (would be even better with some sounds to go with it, I guess)
The bullets are a bit hard to dodge, the dash should make you invincible to them?
Enemies should maybe appear a bit faster, especially if your screen is cleared, so that you can keep the combo up.
And then obviously more graphics, music, etc :)
Good job.

great game mechanics and it works very well with a controller

sleepyxy 2015-08-24 18:54

Nice mechanics, the downward and upward Dash are really powerful and fun! I like it a lot (maybe due to the effects :P), there is much potential in how versatile the attacks are. And they transition really smooth from one to another.

Maybe you could position the action a bit more to the middle of the screen, I had the urge to always be on the right side.
Also I encountered a bug that I got offscreen to the right if I dashed too far and could not return.

tagliatl 2015-08-24 20:42

Thanks!

Yes, the action should be mor in the center. The speed of the enemies is a part of the problem.
Also yes, sometimes you can get offscreen, you have to be at a precise position, too bad it happened in your run :/

ulydev 2015-08-25 17:41

Interesting mechanics !

pierrec 2015-08-25 20:01

It's fun to play but...why L? Why a key so far away? It just seems a weird choice

tagliatl 2015-08-25 20:09

With my fingers on a,d,s,w and my thumb on space, it was natural for me to put the dash button away from that part of the keyboard for my other hand :D

philstrahl 2015-08-25 21:53

Interesting concept and very nice graphics and feeling of "oomph!" when performing an attack. Unfortunately the introduction was way too long in my opinion (sometimes the string even too wide to fit!), so at a certain point I just skipped through it. Choice of font didn't help. interesting concept though!

wg_phancock 2015-08-26 12:50

Overall a fun mechanic. Decent amount of polish and small things that make it feel nice. Felt kind of awkward playing on the keyboard, though...I always dislike random keys on the right side of the keyboard.

sparrow 2015-08-26 13:39

Fun game! Wish I could skip the beginning sequence.

01101101 2015-08-27 09:57

Really fun game, dashing in every direction is always a blast, especially when you can destroy stuff doing it!
I wish there was a combo counter or score multiplier when you chain aerial kills without touching the ground :)
Good job anyway!

holyblackcat 2015-08-30 05:51

Great job!

asixjin 2015-08-31 16:49

I'd like the come back and try with a controller. It felt really awkward playing with a keyboard and I'm not sure why. Also I feel like you should probably tell players how to skip the talk sequence before the actual talk sequence.

Biruts 2015-08-31 16:57

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

bytegrove 2015-08-31 20:13

Nice moves and effects! It was a little awkward to play with a keyboard though. It felt like there was something missing in the gameplay, but I cannot really figure out what. Maybe a slo-mo effect when, for example, throwing enemies? Oh and some camera shake and sound effects for that extra "oomph" perhaps? :)
Neat game, clean graphical style that I think you can explore even further should you continue developing this!

metalchouchen 2015-09-08 11:53

Nice works! A bit difficult to play with the keyboard but the idea is cool! Congrats!

poptartftw 2015-09-14 19:09

Nice!
