Really nice graphics, but the platforming controls didn't work well for me. I got stuck in a hole.

akros 2018-12-03 12:23

Very good looking pixel art! A little bit buggy but it's ok for the compo :D

rs11s21n 2018-12-03 12:47

@deathray thanks! what kind of hole? you played in browser? @akros yeah i make to many strang things in coode this times... thank you)

nightmaresdev 2018-12-03 13:33

The art in this is amazing, and the layering as well. Good job

rs11s21n 2018-12-03 15:12

@nightmaresdev thanks it was hard

artbohr 2018-12-03 15:18

The art and the sounds are very cool!

sun-wukong 2018-12-03 15:46

While it is not bad for compo game, there is still a lot to improve. Especially falling through ladders felt weird.

rs11s21n 2018-12-03 17:34

@artbohr thanks a lot! @sun-wukong yeah thanks) i know this. but i think it's better like this because it work xD

A very pretty game, with some nice ideas. I got stuck (literally) a few times in the scenery. Very nice work though. :thumbsup:

rs11s21n 2018-12-06 00:22

@arkiruthis thanks! XD yeah i know it may happen... is this happened with stairs help?

papabirb 2018-12-06 11:27

I love the art and sounds, but it felt frustrating to play as the constant dialogue prevented me from making any good progress as I was constantly having to hit the arrow keys in order to get through the text. The platforming was difficult, I kept getting stuck where this little cultist demon was at, but unable to get back up after collecting it. I eventually found a big fountain and a gate and apparently nothing happened when I drank the water, so the game restarted. I'm not sure how to get to the other 3 endings, or if that even was an ending.

rs11s21n 2018-12-06 13:47

@papabirb wow! so long path in so short game) it's really col that you enjoy something in this game! for get up from cultist you need just not press jump all time when you jumping... if you see the text it was one of fore ends if not hmm... game may to be broken XD

papabirb 2018-12-06 14:22

@rs11s21n There was text about the water doing nothing after I chose to drink it, so I guess it was an ending. I wasn't sure if it was an ending at the time or if I played the game wrong, but good work overall!

rs11s21n 2018-12-06 16:39

@papabirb yeah i think it was middle end where was nothing happend)

planschi 2018-12-06 21:20

Nice but hard to read because I accidentally clicked it always away perhabs use'space' for dialog

rs11s21n 2018-12-07 16:56

@planschi yeah. now i have no idea why i think this is a good idea x)

nnnikki 2018-12-08 20:03

Probably the only reason I gave this a three is because of the art, which is GORGEOUS. But the rest is, well, okay. Not really super good. And you will need to learn that it has to be super good, or super innovating, or super fun.

poodle-in-need 2018-12-08 20:06

the art is really amazing :)

rs11s21n 2018-12-08 20:27

@poodle-in-need Thanks that was hard x)

rs11s21n 2018-12-08 20:32

@nnnikki Ammm... Thanks? I not really sure i understand you right... But i hope you enjoyed this little adventure. On which i worked these two days without sleep and rest!

candlesan 2018-12-08 22:21

Beautiful pixel art. Really looks fantastic. Went through different endings. One by falling out the bottom. Another drinking water from the fountain. Not sure if there are others. Sometimes had trouble figuring out if I jumped downscreen if I was going to fall to my death or if I was supposed to head downwards because of platforms down below.

rs11s21n 2018-12-08 23:18

@candlesan ha! i think not really) first end when you drink from first fontain and then drink fron second. second when you not drink from first and drink from second third when you drink from first and get cultist for givehim water from second and last one when you not drink from first and get cultist for givehim water from second

linky439 2018-12-10 20:43

Really beautiful game, but I've encountered way too many glitches in this one. Sometimes falling from a high point make me warp back to a fountain and then restart the game, sometimes it just harm me... Also had the game randomly restart at some point x)

Like others pointed out, the constant dialog prevents the progression from being smooth, and the platforming is kinda hard.

The art is great though, and the audio is really nice as well. So you may have some stuff to improve, but I think you have a good core idea! Fix those programming problems and you should have a nice little game ^^

rs11s21n 2018-12-10 22:48

@linky439 this is not glitches, restart happen because your hp is <=0, hp is decreas if you fall on spics from big hight, or fall in hole in center(or if you fall into a hole from which you cannot climb back(after this you get 50dmg and teleportation to start point)) or if you out of water. sorry i have no time for make splash screen for this.

yeah they work not like i want now...

is this platforming really hard? because for me this was not to much... thaks

The graphics are really something to be noted in this game, they are very well done.

However, i found the idea of selecting options and interacting through the up and down arrow keys a little odd. Once i understand how the control works, it was ok for me. Couldn't pass through the big gate though.

rs11s21n 2018-12-11 09:50

@derek-volker the big gate it's a end pont xD thanks you can go throw it only in text

arron-fowler 2018-12-13 10:18

I enjoyed this game. I played it for longer than I had given myself for each game so that tells you something. I found the jump controls a little frustraiting but that could be fixed with a little work. I liked the art style a lot too. Solid work.

skigfx 2018-12-15 08:21

Очень сложно оценивать компо-игры, конечно. С одной стороны ты понимаешь, что тут куча работы, которую сделал ОДИН человек. И это вызывает уважение. С другой стороны, такие игры в основном сыроваты, получить какие-то эмоции от игры в них не получается.

Играл в браузере, управление местами странное. Иногда игра самостоятельно рестартует уровень. Текст всплывающих диалогов просто пропадает едва появившись — не успеваю прочесть. Выбор да-нет без подтверждения тоже не очень удобное решение.

В любом случае при всех указанных проблемах вы проделали большой труд и это очень круто!

rs11s21n 2018-12-15 14:04

@skigfx спасибо рад что удалось заманить ХД да в этот раз где-то на часу 30 у меня в коде начало всё ломаться и дофига времени потратил просто на то чтобы оно начало работать что в не спавшем состоянии было сложно сделать...

пропускаемый текст из-за постоянного нажатия и отпускания кнопок ходьбы (оно скипается если отпустить и нажать) это мой косяк но привыкнуть к этому можно... х) так же таймер на большой и на маленький текст одинаковый что как бы тоже не очень ХД ещё досадно что минимум 1\3 уровня тупо не поместилась в камеру... там было много долбления в создание задника... самостоятельные рестарты по идее имеют причину но то что никто кроме меня не понимает что они есть пожалуй тоже косяк х)

выбор подтверждается кнопкой в верх так как опасался что он может производиться случайно... но в результате просто запутал всех ХД

skigfx 2018-12-15 23:29

@rs11s21n в любом случае вы закрыли компо. это же главное )

rs11s21n 2018-12-16 17:51

@skigfx мы его не закрывали! он сам закрылся) смотрю вы вашей компанией прям специализируетесь на стратежках уже)

gwinnell 2018-12-19 15:09

Very nice ambience and art! Skipping the dialog repetitively was a bit annoying though. Not sure I found all the endings as I couldn't get past that big door! Clearly lots of skills put into this!
