Pretty awesome and comprehensive!

runedrake 2015-08-25 01:14

The graphics for this game are impressive, I especially like the skull on the title screen

superfluous 2015-08-25 02:49

Loved the graphics and music. Not super sure about why I would ever weak attack :D

baykush_figtree 2015-08-25 02:52

Coll mechanics and graphics. Good entry overall :)

lucho9 2015-08-25 03:09

wow this was awesome, haha, and the music!! i am really interested on the story behind it. very cool

sicilica 2015-08-25 03:11

I really liked the look and feel of the game. It reminded me a lot of Risk of Rain.

omaha 2015-08-25 03:16

loved the graphics. I think this would play well on a gamepad.

I had trouble with the left-hand-attack implementation. Ever since Super Mario Bros I've felt like my right hand/fingers are for attacking and my left is for movement.

dryitmat 2015-08-25 03:38

Graphics are pretty great! I do think there are a tad too many enemies though!

victorhugoka 2015-08-25 11:52

Amazing art and sound. The gameplay is very complicated to understand but is good to play.

dkoding 2015-08-25 17:22

That was cool stuff. Nice music! Did you make it? Nice pixel graphics however that demon girl bobs up and down like 50 frames per second.

ultravisitor 2015-08-25 17:22

This is just awesome.

disperse 2015-08-25 19:27

The attitude of the main character is great.

daydreamcorgigames 2015-08-26 09:39

Cool graphics and music!

derr 2015-08-26 13:29

Love the graphics and the metal music! The controls are a bit difficult to get used to because I'm on a German keyboard (Z and Y are switched).

blahgyn 2015-08-26 15:31

that a really good game!

voider 2015-08-26 21:28

Great game. Excelent music, sfx and graphics. Also great presentation with intial menu. Good job!

gfm 2015-08-27 02:50

After I don't know how many tries (getting one shot by the red shadow), I was finally able to get to the boss... only to be one shot by it.... Damn... >_<

The game is really well done and polished... but I kinda see the same problem as the one my game has: the melee attack range is too short, which makes you a quick target to attacks. In your case, though, there actually is another option... but this other option is so much better than the melee attack that it seems somewhat useless...

Still, great game and awesome graphics!!

Btw, I didn't quite understand all those little caged animals... I I was able to find three of them... Also, what was the point of all those treasures? It was displayed on the "Achievements screen" and made I spawn particles... but were there other effects?

collaboration 2015-08-27 13:07

I love the graphics and mechanics, as for protoype - it's really good, sure it needs polish, but it's also a good start, well done!

gillenew 2015-08-27 21:37

Thank you All you guys :D

@KodingNights We don't did the music :(

@derr Sorry for this, not left any time to put the best controllers or joypad

@GFM All the items add some attributes to your character

gamepopper 2015-08-27 22:03

Awesome soundtrack and graphics, really like the concept!

electron 2015-08-28 09:00

music doesn't match with the game, pixel art is good(some polishing in walking animation will increase the feel), otherwise good game

wuballiance 2015-08-28 09:02

Fun game! Movement is smooth, but the control layout is a little strange. The dashing is effective, in fact so effective it seems to be better to just flat out run past enemies so you don't risk losing life (I would LOVE to see someone speedrun this). Overall incredible aesthetic feel, you guys did a really good job with graphics. The soundtrack strangely fits, its a shame I can't rate you guys on audio D: . Great work, I would love to see more!

randoman 2015-08-28 09:38

Awesome game! The only thing that could improve is enemy spawning. Sometimes I am just walking and *PAM* there are several enemies right over me. Good job guys!

retrogradeorbit 2015-08-28 10:06

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I didn't like the music. The guitar playing is not tight and drums sound like ice cream containers are being hit. You can switch the music off, but when you die it starts playing again and you have to switch it off again.

Other than the music, good game!

leom 2015-08-28 10:19

Maybe a Walkthrow video for those who are no capable of finish it ? ^^
Great art and fun to play, but I'm not good enough to reach the boss... :s (I swear I tried !)

picking-a-username-is-hard 2015-08-28 10:44

Cool game. I think for a more complicated combat system like this one, the controls should me said somewhere in the 1st level, and I had no idea what was going on. I thought all the enemies were my friends until they started killing me lol. The graphics were pretty good. The game has potential.

yrr 2015-08-28 10:53

Nice graphics, solid controls, would be nice if there was more indication if a weak attack landed

sergicollado 2015-08-28 13:27

So cool, I like graphics and hate a little controls, I miss be able to go down in platforms ... great work!

volatiledove 2015-08-28 15:32

Nice graphics but a little bit difficult.

awpteamoose 2015-08-28 19:33

If you made it so punishing, why make players start a new game?

mach60kas 2015-08-28 22:31

Loved the music and art of the game, but I kept getting one shot by red ghosts. Did the pickups do much of anything? The way they were presented reminded me of Risk of Rain but without the effects. Still, very nice entry. Well done!

veoviscool12 2015-08-31 01:44

I really enjoyed this entry. Graphics super strong, gameplay fleshed out. I'm always impressed at what graphics some pull out in two days, it's incredible. Only complaint is: why have a weak attack without some sort of tradeoff for using the strong attack?

thomcc 2015-08-31 04:08

sick music and art (but especially music). the character could use some more fluid animations though, esp. for attacking and such.

valid4life 2015-08-31 05:17

The graphics were quite nice! The music went well with the game

crucknuk 2015-08-31 12:12

I love the graphics and music! Good job! ;)

stahlmandesign 2015-09-01 04:31

I'm pretty impressed by what I see from Construct 2. The character movement and attacks were kind of original. Complex jump and warp effect. I loved the art and feel. Was a bit hard and I didn't get too far. Sound wasn't working in browser on Safari. I kept hearing the sound of keys hitting when input not accepted instead of game music or effects.

happyhour 2015-09-01 05:02

Dodging around and using the large shot is pretty fun. Good lookin' sprites too.

freaknarf 2015-09-01 06:39

Cool game, a bit hard... It could be cool to have some checkpoint, at least at the begining of levels, as quickly a single error becomes deadly. I loved the boss visual especially, but I did not beat it :) Vilain spawning felt a bit too much random compared to their power, and i can't stop dying if I don't dash until the boss, so bonuses feel like they are more dangerous to care about than usefull...
Good start that needs some balance !

nowandstudios 2015-09-01 06:45

Wow! We love the desing of character. Very immersive atmosphere.

druid 2015-09-01 07:15

Wow! Amazing graphics, neat riffs and great mood! Pretty cool entry!

william_edwards 2015-09-01 07:39

Its a classic mistake to not explain the controls. Nobody reads the description, they just play the game. Put on-screen "tool tip" help so everyone finds the controls :) I have learned this lesson so hard in my own entries...

The use of semi-transparency was excellent.

Would look excellent put through an upsampling shader like 2xSal.

A proper opening animation, and the "achievements", excellent!

I couldn't get very far; I felt I was very quickly overwhelmed.

But I still score this very highly; that I'm no good with button mashing doesn't mean I can't appreciate there is actually a seemingly complete game here :)

creamybacon1 2015-09-01 07:47

Good art, music, and it played smoothly. But you should have called it Cheap Death: The Game, I mean they spawn right on top of you, and there's the one that can inst-kill you! Other than that I have no further complaints. Good Job!

ibai-aizpurua 2015-09-01 14:37

Congratulations! Nice Game!

Biruts 2015-09-01 19:59

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.

marsares2011 2015-09-01 23:37

Nice art, music's a bit too excited for simple level music. Enemies respawn too quickly.

powerspark 2015-09-02 02:34

The art is very impressive!

crafteverywhere 2015-09-02 02:38

The art is pretty great!

hjalte500 2015-09-02 04:33

I like the overall mood and the graphics and judging by the screenshots it looks like there's even more awesome shit later on but unfortunately a ran into a wall. I played multiple times trying to get further but at same point in every playthrough a whole fuckload of enemies spawn at on top of eachother so I cant progress. Looks awesome though wouldve loved to see the boss.

sbarrio 2015-09-02 05:55

Really well executed, and that's some kick ass music!

oxyoxspring 2015-09-02 07:03

Glorious...

exoddinary 2015-09-02 08:32

not bad, the red guy killed me , good game

nidzakornjaca 2015-09-02 11:40

Great graphics and smooth movement, but the music doesn't match the look and feel well. As far as player attack go - I don't see why anyone would use the short range one since its very unsafe compared to the strong attack which really has no trade off. The spawning is bad too - not really much of a point fighting until you reach the boss, and sometimes the red guy spawns on you if you fight and just kills you. I think the enemies need a longer windup animation. Also the boss kills you instantly without much of a warning forcing you to restart and maybe try again, this time expecting it - step up on the platform and boom 0.5 seconds later a giant rock hits me.

A game with good presentation and potential, but falls short in a couple of important game design aspects - most importantly, fairness.

chrisfagan 2015-09-02 11:59

Loved this! The visuals were great, the music was awesome. It was really hard though, the enemies spawned very quickly.

nikteddy92 2015-09-02 13:04

WOW THAT'S GREAT!
You created this with construct2, I'm impressed! Well done!
Graphic is amazing! The music is GREAT! I loved them!
The gameplay is smooth and enjoyable! A little bit challenging some time!
You made a great work! Well done guys! :D

cbstegeman 2015-09-02 14:28

Love the look of the game. I pretty much just sped through it without bothering to fight most of the enemies.

bulletsarepeopletoo 2015-09-02 15:43

Great graphics and mood. Could not figure out how to consistently jump high enough to reach many of the platforms.

pirate_shell 2015-09-02 18:24

The graphics were delightful and the atmosphere of the underwater setting worked well, in my opinion. The music was some classic hard rock to get you pumped. The gameplay was simple, but functional. I like the game overall, but I feel some things could have been done better. Mostly the combat. The enemies being semi-transparent was a cool visual choice but I feel threats in your game should be the most noticable visual elements so you can avoid them better. The second issue is the way the enemies spawned. Often I would find myself getting blind-sided by them since they were so abundant and spawned so close to me. The final problem I have is the fact that without any limit on the magic attack the melee is sort of useless. That said, just a bit of constructive feedback. Take it or leave it, I still think this was a good entry~

bombjack 2015-09-02 18:43

ammmmaaaaaazing art totally in the theme. the gameplay is original and fun. very good job :)

drzanuff 2015-09-03 14:10

Wow! Just Wow! Graphics are top notch! Good C2 game!

sparrow 2015-09-03 15:02

Awesome game, hard but rewarding! :)

linus123xbb 2015-09-03 15:23

Great game it was very nice looking and the controls were quite good too! The dodge mechanic was especially good. It would've been more fair if you didn't have to restart from the very beginning whenever you died.

eldan_knight 2015-09-03 15:44

Great graphics! Also I liked the Castlevania gameplay, specially the dodge movement. I find the enemy spawn a bit fast, if you don't run from your enemies you can't advance!

techblogogy 2015-09-03 16:27

Nice little cute game! Loved it!

6downstudios 2015-09-04 09:33

Great entry! Outstanding pixelart with some very neat graphical effects, especially that title screen, that's incredible! Gameplay's a bit tricky at first but quite fun once you get the hang of using the Dodge boost (which looks fantastic)

jetspydragon 2015-09-04 10:28

Great work! Looks fantastic! Great touch with achievements ;)

mfep 2015-09-04 12:35

Nice game, awesome graphics, cool music, but some checkpoints would be great, it is a little annoying to have to start again from the beginning when I die.

gamecook 2015-09-04 12:43

Great art and music! Controls felt a bit off, especially when you are surrounded by shadows. It's a great concept, hopefully you continue to work on it now that the jam is over.

roaringcatgames 2015-09-04 13:52

So metal! Great visual accompanied with a metal soundtrack makes for a great mood. Good job with this! I couldn't get far before dying.

Cheers,
Loi LeMix

robotmeal 2015-09-04 15:43

Cool entry, great graphics. Achievements are a nice touch.

drauthius 2015-09-04 18:40

Nice game. Very hard, especially if you like to explore. :)

kikaz 2015-09-05 14:03

Good job but too hard for me...

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-06 15:59

Really neat game! Love the graphics and music! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/WVNLcoTqal4

xvw 2015-09-14 04:43

A verry polished and beautyfull game ! Thanks a lot !

patomkin 2015-09-14 11:00

A good game, reminds me of Risk of Rain. Most of the enemies should be skipped, though, otherwise it is quite easy to get overwhelmed while fighting.

tth2x 2015-09-14 14:55

have seen this game so many times in homepage

very difficult!~~
the Dodge made me running very frequently~
