Really nice gameplay. The combat felt fun although I never got very low on health. If you added more kinds of enemies maybe try to ramp up the difficulty a bit with them. The music fit the game very well and the pixel art is amazing! Thanks for the chance to play it!
Fun game! Missing some sound effects, but really nice design! My finger hurts from mashing Z so hard :)
Overall, great game. A bit easy, but the mechanics are on point, the art looks great, and the game was very fun. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Really nice sprite work! Reminded me a bit of actraiser. Nice little game :)
Really smooth gameplay with amazing graphics (I love the mountains in the background). I wish there was more of this game to play. I don't know if this was intended, but the enemies sunk through the floor when they died. I found out when I killed one on a bridge. Might be cool to add some sort of particle effect when they die just like what you did when ssacrificing the skeletons. Can't wait to see more of this game!
@muzzz29 Hey thanks for playing it on stream! Yeah you're completely right, I need to change how enemies attack and add new types of enemies for sure! Thanks a lot I really appreciate it.
@mtanton Thanks for playing it on stream as well! I'm in the process of adding sounds to it as we speak, it really feels rather empty without them. And I will probably try to make the player not able to move while attacking, so that you can just run and gun through the game.
@youngblade Thanks for playing! I usually make my games way too difficult, but this time some of the hostile mechanics are half-broken at times, sorry for that... I will get to those issues ASAP. Thank you for taking the time to play it!
@josh-bothun Thanks for playing as well. The art took so much time in this project, I wish I had spent a bit more of it on the design and mechanics. But thanks for the compliments!
@darkanice Appreciate it! I really want to make this game longer and bigger as soon as possible so I will get to that! Yeah they do have an effect actually when they fall through the floor, it's gray and halfway in the ground haha, so I might make it more obvious then.
I really like your game! Music + Graphics fit very well, sprite animation is outstanding! My only concern is controls - Z and X + WASD is uncomfortable, I am not able to move left and quickly change to attack. Mouse left and right buttons for attack and resurect would be good addition! + question - how did you make this nice background with two layers of mountains moving at different speed? Thanks!
@alexkishchinskiy Hey thanks for playing my game! You can move with the Arrow Keys as well WASD was implemented by unity when using the Arrows keys. I forgot to take that out :/ sorry.
The background was done with basic Parallaxing. Take the X and Y of the camera and take a fraction of the position. So the further away, the slower it goes
Really high level pixel art and graphics! The overall mood is just amazing, the medieval music keep the pace really high and I like it. Maybe the skull are a bit useless? I mean, they seems to not do much damage or am I wrong? BTW really nice entry!
@hav24 Thanks a lot! I agree the skeletons are a bit weak at the moment, the problem is that they don't get in range far enough to attack :/ Im fixing that right as we speak :) Thanks again man
@twinghosts thanks for explanation!
@alexkishchinskiy No problem, Jams like these are to help each other! Would you like an example project?
@twinghosts That would be super cool! I was caught be parallax effect - would be cool to learn it!
Great game, with great graphics and gameplay. The only thing I would change is the way camera moves, because when I move to the right I can't see much what is in front of me.
@alexkishchinskiy I will leave a download link here soon (I don't know any other way without posting contact info on here)
@iluvatar thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback. How would you prefer it? Make the camera move a little ahead of the player's direction?
@twinghosts Hey. Yeah something like that, or just make it still. Because now it's like the character is "faster" than the camera and you go basically blind. But otherwise it was really cool Game. I love these dark stories :-)
@iluvatar Alright, I will play around with it, thanks for the feedback! Haha thanks a lot, I love adding stories to games. Sucks that I didn't have time to integrate it well enough. Working on that as we speak though. Anyways thanks again!
@twinghosts Thanks, man=)
Nice art and cool idea for the theme!
A simple but nice action platformer. I would have liked to see more options when sacrificing your skelettons (give health, makes you invincible, makes you stronger, explode, ...) Nice game overall. Cheers!
Hi, cool graphics, good idea for gameplay, I was pleased to play this game) good work guy)
Nice game!
Fun. Definitely needs WASD support. Its so common now so it feels awkward. Loved that music. Sound needs polish but that may have been because I played WEBGL. Sprites solid. Animation solid. Just needs variety but that could come.
Graphics are great! Congrats! The gameplay is easy to understand and played well.
I really enjoyed this game. With refinement I could see this being really epic. Defo something to continue with. Great job
This is a very nice game! I really like the graphics and the gameplay
