One of the hidden gems that I have found so far! The movement controls are nice and responsive making the rolls feel satisfying. The graphics and sound mesh very well together and make for quite a calming experience. The only thing is that I found it difficult to not get hit when attacking enemies but that may just be me being bad :). Good job!
This is so incredible! Great art style and tight controls! Missing a "being hit" feedback, however.
HATS! HATS! HATS! ... Enough said ...
good game, great job ;)
Really, really good, incredibly consistent art and feel, satisfying gameplay and you have a great little game here ! As has been said before, it's missing a player damage signal.
@stracker, @kroltan the screen shakes when player takes damage
Very nice artstyle! When you take damage it isn't very obvious as noted. Finding it a real challenge to complete as the hitbox of your weapon is really small and enemies move quite fast and it is really difficult to avoid their attacks (although possible I think - just try to move away while slashing). All in all a great entry!
I love this game. Swords are freaking awesome man. Also rolling wow. Great game.
Very nice action game. Fun, kind-of-fluid, and very well-balanced. The graphics are not bad at all. I didn't understand the use of the equipment tho. I think that the "roll" button doesn't dodge, it just makes you faster, which I find counter intuitive (In that case it should have been called a "dash" instead of a roll) With some good old epic music, it would have been my favorite entry so far in this Jam.
Super fun! The gameplay is really dynamic and I really liked the graphics. Solid entry, best of lucks!
Good game!
/- - - ** *RavageR* ** - - - / I do like the name, if you can't tell! I was expecting more gore though.
It's tough attacking and not getting hit at the same time as the weapon swing hitbox is tiny. The character doesn't turn either, which make attacking hostiles to your right a swing and a miss.
The presentation didn't jell with me too well. Tiny pixel people rendered in three colors (+ alpha, you cheat!) and the audio similarly sparse. It is a stylistic choice of course and you pulled it off nicely.
Ok entry. A bit basic in places.
Great game overall, it did lack a sense of progression for me personally. I loved the visuals and the audio and the gameplay was pretty good too. You should definitely focus on adding some more variance by adding say, powerups. I'd love to see this in procedurally generated levels, the game already feels like a rogue-like, so why not go all the way with it (more enemies, bosses and powerups would also help achieve that)! Great work, hope to see you next Ludum Dare!
A great game ! The base pace is maybe a little bit slow, but the game is really well polished and totally working on its own.
Good job :)
Love it! i'm a bit of a sucker for minimal pixel art style and this was a really nicely done version. The gameplay was also more fun than i thought it would be, the charge mechanic works really well to make it more interesting. The fast mode is a really nice edition too, Now I think basically all games should have a fast mode. Like street fighter 2 hyper, more speed == more fun. Bonus points for including controller support :) Also liked the music.
