It feels like im gettings sucked down into the ground when jumping and rubberbanding when walking. Graphics and audio was good though!

I was often getting stuck in the ground, becoming unable to move or jump. As though there is an offset issue with the colliders or the actual collision detection math is off. A great effort otherwise!

The "physics" in the game could use some work. However, I love the game's arcade playstyle, and the graphics. Overall it was pretty fun.

Great graphics and style! It need a bit of polish on the physics and controls but it's a good job.

Hey guys, I've uploaded a new mac build! Please try it if it wasn't working on your machine!

Having the graphics settings on "fastest" causes a lot of problems like weird jerky motion but setting it to "Fantastic" makes it normal. Apart from that it looks really good, and atmospheric but might need adjustments in the controls as they feel too slippery.

Movement was a bit janky but I like it, the animated character portrait was super nice

Character with great graphics, difficult and challenging gameplay, I really enjoyed it. Great job.

I used the bats to fly idk if you meant that to happen but it was awesome that it did happen

Movement was pretty rough, jumping when I was near the edge of a ledge didn't seem to work (maybe just my perception, ledge forgiveness is in a lot of platformers). Graphics and audio blend well together for the atmosphere. The bats were cool, I was able to combine a few of them into a super bat and rode him to the end of that section, but after that I'm a bit lost. Overall decent entry, if a little buggy.

Edit: I forgot to mention this bug I encountered where if I went up to a locked door and pressed up to enter I got locked there and had to kill the game.

There is some decent potential here, but after five minutes I got lost and couldn't figure out what it was I supposed to be doing. My first attempt, I got stuck in a door that wouldn't open and had to restart the game. Once I figured out how to open them, I ended up in a room where there was a jump I couldn't make even at a run. Is there some sort of double jump?

It looks visually very nice and there's good audio to it, but I got frustrated with the game play.

I tried to play it couple times but everytime, after the character touched the ground he doesn't respond to the controls :(

kerneltt 2017-12-07 17:18

it sometimes gets stuck into the blue walls and i felt lost fast, cute game btw

The Mac build isn't working for me so I am going to base my comments on the video and the demo you gave us at our jam-site. The 3d down-resing is a cool look, and I like the character design. The typing sound was really good. Lots of juice and shooting/other actions have a nice amount of feedback and feel impactful. Great accomplishment for the amount of time!

Nice compo! I really like the style. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to do much as my controls froze every time I press "UP" on windows.

boudesit 2017-12-18 12:19

I want to play but the character freeze when i press on UP arrow I can't judge the game :/
