Pretty nice game, i think. It has noticable art and style, first of all, and this looks amazing! But i'd like a bit slower Zeus, and a bit more time for the ray to stay. I think it will be more nice for the gameplay. But it's great, i like it :)
I really like the art style! I agree that Zeus feels a little bit "slidey" which can sometimes be a little frustrating when trying to center on the light ray. Fun little game though!
Art is great, gameplay is also nice. Sometimes Zeus is too fast like a flash :smiley: and I can't charge my lightning. But no other problems. Cool game.
Really really great art! Like the floatiness of the controls. I like my full-speed from the side lightning strike to kill like 4 foes.
But I guess that is intended because the game is tough as nails. Really not the easiest to "beat"! Is there an end? Because then I did not make it through.
Nice Game, I liked the idea and the graphics. The music It's awesome.
But I think it wold be better if you make other enemies bee more harder to die. The golum for exemple, could have more life to make it harde to die.
That was really cool. The graphics are great. I liked the CRT filter; made the game feel like an old school arcade game. My brain kept wanting to use the down arrow key to make Zeus fly downward to stop his hovering, but that just wasted power. If the shoot lightning ability was bound to space bar or a different key, that would fix that, or reduce the hovering up and down just a tad. I agree with @anglain that Zeus moves around just a little to fast but I suppose you'd get used to that. Overall a really good entry. Simple, fun, well done. Thanks for the game.
Thanks for playing our game. The speed of zeus is part of the challenge to grab the light ray. So it was deliberate but i must confess that it was hard to calibrate it so it is maybe a little bit too hard.
@jannes-nagel Unfortunately, there is no end, the only goal is to beat his best score, to respect old school arcade games principle.
@pixelproductions I agree with you, the fact of adding more enemies more harder to die is a good idea. We maybe add it, thanks a lot for your idea.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
I love it ! The idea is really cool, what's better to be god ?! The music and the graphic are really excellent !
I liked the story of the game, I think it was an original take on the ld's theme. The enemies were pretty cool, tho i only saw until the floating eye - not sure if there's more after them. However all of them died in 1 hit, so the game
It was a bit weird that the lighting followed you after you threw it, and it also allowed you to clear half the screen with just one ray - not sure if that's intended or not, but i think it is because otherwise the game would be way harder. I had to disable the CRT effect, it looked very weird on my screen :(

2550 ; 3:13. Is this a good score ? x) Cool game, good graphics, good musics/sounds and good gameplay. But what is this sort of filter in front of Zeus ? (EDIT : Ah this is the buggy cathode effect x) I did not matter of that in the ratings, do not worry) x) Anyway, this is a good game :) Ah oui, et bien joué aussi, parce que si on est français, ça fait plaisir de voir du français dans les commentaires xD Et puis je me sens moins seul x)
Really well done. Simple but very entertaining and addictive gameplay. Graphics are well done and funny. Not quite sure about the cathode effect, not quite sure it's necessary.
It took me some time to understand that prayer time is every 30 seconds at 0:20 and lasts for 10 seconds. If you are going to show the time ingame, you might es well give some sort of warning when prayer time is going to happen.
@mathiouza Merci pour ton commentaire, ça fait plaisir de voir d'autres Français ^^. L'effet tube cathodique ne s'adapte parfois pas correctement à la résolution de l'écran et nous n'avons malheureusement pas eu le temps de le régler. Pour le contourner, il faut changer la résolution au démarrage. :wink:
@zyxer Effectively, we should have warned the player of prayer time. In the beginning,we wanted to create a sort of day cycle with precise prayer time but we didn't have so much time unfortunately. Thanks for your feedback !
@jaimuepe Don't worry about the problem with your comments. There are only 3 kind of enemies : snake, minotaur and eye. So you've seen them all :) ! With regard to lightnings, we decided to let them follow Zeus because we thought it would be easier to play. Unfortunately the CRT effect is not adjust for all screen size, this is why we had the P key in order to disable this effect. Thanks for your feedback :) !
Really fun little game, but as said in comments steering is to floaty.
The CRT effect was pretty cool, particularly when Zeus strayed too close to the edges of the monitor. I enjoyed being a god - it was fun while it lasted.
I scored 2025 :) The movement was super fluffy but it works. Solid, keep making games guys :)
