There is a platformer
I liked the idea but I dont really see how it really effected gameplay all that much. The platforming was a bit awkward at places (the stairs near the beginning took me like 5 minutes) and the lack of sounds made it feel just a little bit strange. Otherwise I hope you had a great time this LD!
I sadly didn't get to play Limbs Quest I - VI before launching Limbs Quest VII, but I had a good time playing nonetheless. The concept is nice : it's funny, it fits the theme and increases the difficulty little by little. I fell out of bounds during my playthrough, and the jump could be improved. Still it's a nice entry, congrats to the team !
Cool idea and the art was actually pretty extensive. The platforming was kind of hard but that's to be expected in a jam imo so well done overall!
The concept is good, but it would have been better with a few sound. Also. I like the color palette. Btw, I found the controls a bit frustrating, if you polish that it could have a great potential.
Good job :)
It was pretty cool the idea to sacrifice limbs as you progress in the game however i think the movement controls were not as good, felt as if the player were on ice and the double jump was really hard to control, also enemies were too fast and it was lso hard to know if you got hit or not, regardless i think that if you work more on it you can make something interesting :)
This is an fun little platformer. The graphic and music is simple and good, and all fits the game idea well. The controls is okay, but especially the jumping mechanic could have been better. Overall a fine LD game.
Very good game ! We had this very same idea during our brainstorming session, and since we finally did something different, I'm glad to have a game like this anyway =p !
The platforming was a bit sloppy : the physics were kinda strange and the way ennemies collide with you can lead to awkward situations (a bat one-shoted me because it "bounced" on me xD). It's also possible to "climb" on a bat and fly away to victoryyyyyyyy ! The bats were also tricky to deal with because the character can only hit sideways, but the are coming from above... Also, it's possible to enter the princess/hell room without talking to the strange man. I did it on my first playthrough and got killed in the hell without understanding what was happening xD.
That was all the bad things I had to say, now the good part : this game is FUN, despite the physics ! The theme is totally respected (as I said, we had the same idea so it's 100% ok for me !), and the "baddish" ending was a very nice twist ! The graphics are also pretty nice. I had a really good time playing your game. Very good job !
Very interesting game but I have an advice that frustrated me a lot during the gameplay: For some reason, the keyboard didn't worked as well. I pressed Right Arrow and nothing happened and I tried other times until it starts working again... I don't know exactly why, but this bothered me a little bit.
But you game is very interesting and the game idea fits very well with the ludum dare 43's theme. Well done, congratulations!
Thank you all for your kind words! All feedback are really appreciated, we had a ton of fun crafting this game and we hope that you have some as well by playing it!
There was a major bug on the LD release that made keyboard controls really bad unfortunately :( For those who wants to try there is the 1.1 version which fixes this very problem (and some others)! If you still have problems with controls on the 1.1, well it means we have still some bug fix to do :D
Unlike most entries with a similar principal, this one at least is humorous instead of tragic.
The gameplay, though, is pretty hard to get past. The physics could be better, the enemies got me locked in a state of bouncing and hurting multiple times until I die, and the jump button doesn't respond very well.
lol, the music is from super castlevania if my mind serves me correctly.
Excellent use of theme, although I would have loved to see a few more "devolutions". I think I beat the final boss by accident? That part wasn't clear to me. Overall very good!
Good game! Maybe needs more feedback in all the actions (jump, attack, damage, death, etc.)... for this, maybe can help read and research some articles and videos about game feel and juicy. Overall y a great game! Congrats and keep it doing games! :left_facing_fist_tone2:
