So nice game. i most like those animations in intro and in outro <3

synthphonia 2018-12-04 18:18

Really good voice over! :) nice simple graphic style ;)

kornel 2018-12-04 20:45

Very lovely animations and the intro/ending (with a twist, no less!)

budark 2018-12-05 00:20

good one

vincent-blot 2018-12-05 18:15

Somehow I couldn't use my dash, I'm probably too bad but it's ok. I liked the little story at the beginning, the village thing at the start and the audio :)

guine 2018-12-05 22:23

I loved the game!

wojciech-bruski 2018-12-06 00:22

@vincent-blot yeah, skills are a little buggy. Thanks!

@guine :heart:

Hello guys, hope you had a nice time during the jam! Next time think of us (mac users) to play your game too! A web build works for all sides! :p

lemons 2018-12-06 07:02

Nice, I loved the comic style thing that was going on!

catbutt 2018-12-06 12:39

cool web-based jrpg vibe

jk5000 2018-12-06 14:31

Okay the gameplay needs a bit more work, but story was good.

subtlydramatic 2018-12-06 15:43

I like the art for your game, has a very story-book feel! Very cute idea, looking forward to seeing how you expand on the game play :)

vlad11 2018-12-06 16:47

@danilo-freire We do not know how it will work on MACs but in half hours the game will also be available for your device. I hope you will leave your experience in the comment and rate our game :D

The voice over, music, story and intro/otro was great. It was nice that you got a sound effect when hitting an enemy but my dash didn't seem to work. Also some kind of effect when you killed an enemy would have been nice, when I killed my first one I thought it was a bug as it just vanished.

Lots of work went into this. Love the intro and atmosphere. Lovely audio!

wojciech-bruski 2018-12-06 17:08

Strange... i can't add link for mac here @danilo-freire https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nGP5lRXKoPcYUfhYd4Da1AZCxiCMjQid/view?usp=sharing enjoy

Thanks @wojciech-bruski and @vlad11, i'm very glad i can help you guys by rating, playing and give my feedbacks. I had some trouble with the combat, some visual and sound feedbacks for hit and death would improve a lot the experience. Love the atmosphere, sound and the concept of the weapons and skills (sacrifice to get some of them). Congrats everyone! :D

vivien-fargette 2018-12-06 17:55

The intro is incredible, the audio is great and the concept is really cool. You should just let the player choose when the tutorial go away: I forgot to chage my keyboard in QWERTY and when I came back, I had to leave the game and rewatch the intro (not so long and great so not that bad ^^)

chaosthelegend 2018-12-06 18:13

Healthbar is brocken and sometimes blackscreen appears instead of main menu. haven't really understood what you're supoused to do but the art looks cool

vlad11 2018-12-06 18:53

@chaosthelegend The game has been tested on many devices and there were no bugs you are talking about, we are very sorry that you can not play our game, try to download other versions, I hope it will help.

vlad11 2018-12-06 18:59

@danilo-freire We are happy that we could give you and other MAC users the possibility to play. We are very grateful for playing and rating our game. :D

That was very short but quite enjoyable! I had a similar idea of the implementation in an earlier jam, and was quite proud to think of that :D So now I'm proud of you too :)

The Art had the perfect setting for the game's mood. I'm not a big fan of the art-style but the artist sure has a healthy artistic taste.

The Audio was superb! I want nothing but to congratulate the narrator + sound designer.

The Theme implementation fell a bit short as the only things you sacrifice are two non-working resources (Blood & Stamina). - - - I dont know if they're actually not working, but they didn't work for me. The skills also bugged out, and I never had a chance to ever use any of those.

In General: Great job on everything(that works) except syncing the animations with the game physics :P -- I understand this is a quite time consuming task and on most jams I meet the same fate ;P I have no complains about it though, even half-implemented you did a good job on making it feel natural (I used the long fiery sword).

Overall a good game which I enjoyed playing! I suggest you fix the bugs that prevent skills from happening, and uploading the new version (Which is allowed by the Jam rules).

wugbor 2018-12-06 23:36

Great job! Love the intro and the spooky aesthetic.

huf0001 2018-12-07 02:44

Took a bit to figure out how to deal with the witches. Their attacks could probably have been a bit slower or done less damage to make that easier, at least the first few anyway. Also, a way to regain blood might have been a good idea. Intro was cool, though personally I could have done without that. Overall, a reasonable game.

vlad11 2018-12-07 10:38

@lyrcaxis Unfortunately, we can not add game with repaired bugs because 48 hours after completing the game it can not be done

lyrcaxis 2018-12-07 21:21

@vlad11 There is no such rule :) I've read them all. The 48hour period is only for porting to different platforms(for example WebGL --> Windows). You can still update it!

Also, dont be stingy.. Give the commenters some karma :P

cameron-dunlap 2018-12-07 23:11

Fairly good game, and the voice acting was pretty good. I feel that it could've been longer, but the core concept was solid. Also nice to see a game with backstory.

maycon 2018-12-12 07:43

Just love the audio. The graphics style is awesome too. A lil bit buggy when it comes to combat and skills, but the story compensates them. Great job, guys. A little bit more to the girl in front of the audio.

apple-dash 2018-12-12 16:08

Sadly, It was way too short (I think, you are missing the potential of your sacrificing system with just one fight) and combat doesn't feel that great. Bonus points for cutscenes though, they were quite fun

elysiagriffin 2018-12-18 21:55

Hey Bvvs2000! Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

If you'd like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/346058907?t=51m05s

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

cool game.

my only complaint is i cant tell which number to press for each ability, and i cant tell if certain abilities are being used. Like critical hit, i cant tell if its active or not, or if its on cooldown.

concept was cool

also the cutscene and the voice acting was a huge bonus
