The art is really good! Maybe zoom the camera out a little, it looks cramped sometimes.

@rpgfaker Thanks for your review. We will probably keep working on it. This version might have bugs. And im gonna change stuff based on your review too.

the trader is quite broken, have one ring, press 'trade' and the ring is gone and I get nothing. Nice graphics and music, but the game needs some more direction, player help and polishing. fun concept, but some things are a bit broken.

Nice work the game is really nice. The close up on the character gave me hard time to play around. Keep going! The game is fun

ytaha 2018-12-04 03:54 ♥ 1

The art is great and the puzzles look interesting. But the game is near unplayable with that field of view. You really need to zoom out a little bit. And i couldn't find the second key 😅

you can @ me when you update the game 😄

I can tell your team is art heavy because art is great @rpgfaker is right the camera was way to close I would say increase that I do not know if it is tearing or bad coding but the character like jitters.

@trash I dont really understand what happend to you. Thanks for you review. If you could explain it better than thanks.

preda 2018-12-04 03:58 ♥ 0

@dancinoman I will zoom the camera out. Because as i see its bothering everyone.

preda 2018-12-04 03:58 ♥ 0

@ytaha Thanks for your review. I dont quite understand. The quest you got should give you the key when finished.

preda 2018-12-04 03:59 ♥ 0

I finished its almost after the dead line. That is why its so broken. Sorry for not working properly.

preda 2018-12-04 04:00 ♥ 0

@caveman54 Its probably bad coding. I heavent really done camera movement.

preda 2018-12-04 04:02 ♥ 0

This was the first time i made a 2d game. And this was the first time we made pixelart

skettynmeebs 2018-12-04 04:02 ♥ 0

Hm. I might need a hint 😆 but I dont want to give up yet. If you could dm me or comment here some guide so I can get through, I'd love to see the end of the game!

Some thoughts: The levels seem quite large. It takes a long time to get from end to end with very little in between to interact with or look at.. I swept the level as best I could but I still feel like I may have missed something in the vast space in the middle of the room lol. I did Like the art and the music. They were very cute.

Sorry everyone i turned off a collider and you couldn't get to the 2nd key. Im fixing it right now.

preda 2018-12-04 04:05 ♥ 0

You got it dude @preda

jcroisant 2018-12-04 06:42 ♥ 1

Great music, it really enhances the mood. Very good pixel art for your first time. I would like if there was more sacrifices necessary. I completed the game without sacrificing any items.

preda 2018-12-04 12:23 ♥ 0

@jcroisant Than you must know the ending.

Field of view is a little close. With the textures you chose I was actually getting a little dizzy that close up. I love the main character art and the music was fun.

jeunegen 2018-12-04 20:06 ♥ 0

The art and music is original, it was really cool. I like how there are written dialogues which help understand what's expected of the player. But I found it easy to get blocked because of one bad choice which fills up the inventory and leaves no other choice but to start all over (unless I missed something?). Also, like other mentionned, it may have been feeled more comfortable with a more distant camera. Really good job overall!

preda 2018-12-04 20:15 ♥ 0

@jeunegen Thanks for your review. When i remake some stuff. Your comment will be in consideration. Im gonna change stuff based on it too.

vodish 2018-12-04 21:23 ♥ 0

The zoom of the camera is really disturbing, especially with how big the house is. I'm not a fan of the "go fetch items" games, but there's potential in the game!

preda 2018-12-04 21:28 ♥ 0

Hey guys i fixed a little bug with one click. You can consider beating it if you didnt!

preda 2018-12-04 21:42 ♥ 0

@vodish Thanks for you review. Its important that i get citisism.

To anyone who got a big bug at the start. Please redownload it.

@zombie-virals Thanks!

Most of my thoughts echo what was said by others.

* The camera is too zoomed in while the areas are vast and generally empty. It causes long stretches of monotony, in my mind. The very first level, a simple garden, is so massive that I tried my best to first explore it only to find... nothing interesting. * The sign that should say "Quests" next to the old man is misspelled. * The art style is neat. * I like the premise and the mechanic of "sacrificing" items, even though I can see how it would get tedious for a lot of people, to be basically locked into a position of not progressing and having to restart all over (and, again, the massive areas with that level of zoom make that restart more tedious than fun).

Overall, I'd say a solid idea that could've used more polish.

Very nice game, very atmospheric! Here's my attempt at remembering what the quest-giver told me ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTeUPXVSPps
