The itch.io link isn't working for me! I'd love to try the game out though, so please ping me when it's up

pokang 2018-12-04 01:08

@pukami it is up now! Sorry, my mistake :P Thank you for your interest!

Loved the art, but the hit detection for attacks needs work. I found myself having a lot of trouble actually hitting anything. Fun idea too. Trying for some clearer sounds would help a lot too! Otherwise a great first step!

pokang 2018-12-04 01:14

@literal-filth Thank you so much for your feedback ! We're aware that the hitboxes are kind of wonky and we'll make better ones next time ! About the sound, well, yeah... I know hahaha I recorded them on my scuffed mic, I would've done better if I had better hardware, but that's no excuse! Thank you for playing♥

Short and sweet! I liked the voxel-style art and the use of lights. Visually, it reminded me of Bit.Trip Runner. Nice use of the theme. For those playing with a keyboard, I recommend having the controls up in another tab. By the way @pokang the "Interact" controls on the itch.io page are wrong! It says 'A' with a keyboard but it's really 'Q'. Took me a while to figure out. Otherwise, great entry!

@danman9914 Thank you so much for your feedback, it's really an honor to receive comments from someone that made the almighty Pony Island. Thank you for your bindings feedback, I'll update that, I got QWERTY and AZERTY mixed up! Thanks♥

pokang 2018-12-04 17:35

Thank you very much @jcpd ♥

johnnyginard 2018-12-04 17:38

Very cool idea! Hadn’t thought about that! hehe :P :top:

mike-mihe 2018-12-04 18:06

Unreal grafics and art is looks cool! But i can't hit anything (keyboard input)? i hope u fix it =(

emeffe 2018-12-04 18:58

Hey @mike-mihe! Thanks for your feedback, we'll try to fix that asap :) Thanks @johnnyginard ! we are glad you liked our game ^^

yongminpark 2018-12-04 19:40

The entire voxel models looks really lice.

pokang 2018-12-05 01:49

@YongminPark Oooh thank you so much!

pokang 2018-12-05 01:50

@johnnyginard Glad you liked it!

pelicanodepico 2018-12-05 23:54

So cool art style, my laptop almost can't deal with it but I loved the original concept!

binarylynx 2018-12-06 00:16

Nice art and animations!

thesomeonexd 2018-12-06 00:53

Voxel art is beautiful. Good job!

aumbra 2018-12-06 02:19

Graphics were great. Really impressive how much you got done in the jam. Very good job!

smeax 2018-12-06 20:21

Well this is really good! The voxel graphics looks neat and the sound is pretty good too. The sheep enemies were a bit tough at the beginnging but I got them all down after a few tries :D Well done!

pokang 2018-12-06 23:26

@pelicanodepico Thank you ! We know it's not very optimized so you don't have to feel bad about your laptop :P

pokang 2018-12-06 23:26

@BinaryLynx Thank you!

pokang 2018-12-06 23:27

@TheSomeoneXD Voxel can only be beautiful :P Thanks!

pokang 2018-12-06 23:27

@Aumbra Thanks! We're also impressed by how many things we've acheived especially since it was our first jam and first game ever :)

pokang 2018-12-06 23:29

@Smeax Thank you but the sound is really not that great... :D Enemies are kind of harsh to deal with because of our hitbox system but we're glad you succeeded!

edward-dassmesser 2018-12-07 00:53

Couldn not plays.

5/5.

plagueofminds 2018-12-07 00:58

Great first game, but the combat and the dropping of weapons and armor could be improved. Great looking game. I hope you continue to make some more games! Best of luck!

pokang 2018-12-07 01:08

@PlagueOfMinds Thank you very much for playing! We're aware that we can do better on these points and we will improve it next time we do something, thank you for your wishes!

afroant 2018-12-07 03:21

Graphics were amazing! I thought it was ironic that I became a better fighter at the end of the game from sheer experience, despite losing the armor. The take on the theme was well done. If you fleshed out the combat / platforming, I could see this as a legit game. Good job!

pellanor 2018-12-07 05:46

Looked really cool, but I could barely hit anything. Got stuck on the first frog :'(

vlad-ilisan 2018-12-07 10:25

I love the graphics , good job!

bingdom 2018-12-07 12:15

Maybe have a single key to drop an item for each 'stage' (or do it automatically with the dialogue).

This is a solid first game attempt! Well done.

stending 2018-12-07 16:16

Amazing first entry! It looks beautiful, the animations are super smooth, and it's a great take on the theme! Like other people said, the combat feeling could be a bit improved, but that's not a big deal, the game's overall feeling is awesome.

That's also nice to see you enjoyed your first jam experience, really hope to see you at the next LD!

mrleeperry 2018-12-07 21:40

Had some issues sorting out controls initially... but really well done!

pokang 2018-12-08 02:54

@afroant Haha that's pretty ironic yeah :D Enemies do hit harder at the end tho due to your lack of armor! Thank you for your kind feedback :)

@pellanor I'm sorry you felt that way, we've had a few comments about the hitboxes but it's the first time someone doesn't get past the frog :(

@vlad-ilisan Thank you very much!

@bingdom That's a pretty good idea! We didn't think of that. We didn't do it while the dialog because we wanted the player to "feel" that he was making a sacrifice. Thank you for the kind words. :)

@mrleeperry Thank you! We know the kbm controls aren't very cool to use, we developed the game with the focus of making it a controller game, thank you for playing it and giving feedback!

deathbysnail 2018-12-10 13:22

For a first try you guys did good. Hit detection definitely needs improvement!
