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

preda 2018-12-04 03:45

@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.

trash 2018-12-04 03:51

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.

dancinoman 2018-12-04 03:52

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

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 :sweat_smile:

you can @ me when you update the game :smile:

caveman54 2018-12-04 03:57

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.

preda 2018-12-04 03:57

@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

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

preda 2018-12-04 03:58

@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

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

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

preda 2018-12-04 04:02

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

Hm. I might need a hint :laughing: 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.

preda 2018-12-04 04:04

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

@skettynmeebs Im fixing the bug i had by one missclick.

caveman54 2018-12-04 04:07

good game though

preda 2018-12-04 04:09

The bug is fixed you now can go on the 2nd key. Just download it again please. @ytaha @trash @rpgfaker @caveman54 @dancinoman @skettynmeebs

skettynmeebs 2018-12-04 04:22

You got it dude @preda

jcroisant 2018-12-04 06:42

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

@jcroisant Than you must know the ending.

anfaas1618 2018-12-04 12:29

5/5 no words just amazing

preda 2018-12-04 12:30

@anfaas1618 Thanks but some critisism would always help :)

anfaas1618 2018-12-04 12:32

so here you go work on camera settings make it more dynamic

preda 2018-12-04 12:35

@anfaas1618 Ok thaks you. Im conna check out you game too.

wegpast 2018-12-04 12:47

I had fun playing it ! But yeah.... Zoom Out ! xD

preda 2018-12-04 12:49

@wegpast Its was only cause i wanted the player to search. But i fuckd it up. Sorry!

wegpast 2018-12-04 13:25

@preda Oooh ok, I see now. It make me search, for sure :p Don't be sorry, you've tried and you ended-up with a good game after all so be proud ! :)

preda 2018-12-04 13:28

@wegpast You have one of the best games i played on the ld so you have something to be proud of too. Even prouder :D

hakansoyozen 2018-12-04 13:37

Great game. Fun to play and has great art style.

preda 2018-12-04 13:38

@hakansoyozen Thanks!

2018-12-04 13:47

nice artwork!

preda 2018-12-04 13:52

@mozitux Thanks!

vlad-ilisan 2018-12-04 15:16

Outstanding work, I love the art

preda 2018-12-04 15:25

@vlad-ilisan Thanks!

jfraser314 2018-12-04 16:07

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

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

@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

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

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

preda 2018-12-04 21:42

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

ursagames 2018-12-04 21:43

Your game was played on my stream ( twitch.tv/ursagames ) for the first day of Ludum Dare streams - you can find the timestamp of your game here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8

preda 2018-12-04 22:03

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

zombie-virals 2018-12-05 01:49

I had a really good time with this, it was so nice I played it twice!! Great job for your first game and your age, keep at it!! Bring back awesome adventure games!!

preda 2018-12-05 02:29

@zombie-virals Thanks!

dwam 2018-12-05 04:28

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.

Could you stop spamming my Google form please? Thanks.

philstrahl 2018-12-18 02:16

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