The graphics are really amazing, but not the gameplay :/
Did you do all the models, textures and graphics by yourself? The controls are a bit unreliable, but the graphics are very nice, the effects and moves you can do are interesting and made me play a long time.
First of all, might just be my personal opinion, but I'd suggest uploading your game on itch.io or gamejolt in the future. That aside, the game is quite fun, pretty impressive for a jam. The controls are a bit messy, but once you get used to it it's alright (feels like you need to really click on the heads of enemies to attack them) Also the music felt too loud/bass heavy and would have been nice to have a little message or something once you killed the "final" boss. That aside, the different attacks were pretty cool, same for the effects. Good job overall!
Very easy game despite the control a little bugger to attack. the graphics are correct and the sound hurts the ear after a while, good luck for the future
Graphics are great, and i like the controls and level design a lot. Attacking is sometimes difficult, you cant change camera angle and you can't attack an enemy that is obstructed from the camera by player. The gameplay is a bit boring though, maybe add some archer units, and more abilities for the player. Also if the levels were more linear, it would be more fun.
Really needs a bit more oomph behind attacks (particles and sounds PLEASE!), and some more obvious feedback for what you're doing, highlighting the enemy you're currently attacking for example would go a long way.
I love the environment despite its lack of textures, some nice models here and good scene composition. The animations are nice too. Great job producing all that content!
Loved the low poly environment, character models, and top-down style! Got some good, Diablo-esque RPG vibes. The point-and-click controls are nice and accessible, too.
I managed to collect all the skills and defeat the all enemies! ...short of one god-like imp in the middle of the map. Must have been a bug because he was invincible, and slayed me in the end, haha! Fun execution of a cool concept! Congrats on completing LD!
I loved it Reminded me of running dungeons in old school World of warcraft. bit buggy but gave me feels Great job and the art is amazing
It looks gorgeous! Ultimately though, I stopped playing out of frustration. Movement feels slidey, awkward and unresponsive and I had an enemy who didn't die even though he was on no health. It seems a bit easy since you can get back more health than you're paying between sacrifice stations, and once you've got the ranged abilities, what's to stop you from carpet bombing the enemies from afar?
I may not have finished it, but I did like it because of the technical marvel of it. It looks impressive considering the time frame, it just ultimately falls flat from lack of polish.
Considering the time limit the graphics are amazing! I like your approach of making all controls simple by using just the mouse but it definitely needs some more work. I think adding cursor to show where exactly the character would go and mapping attack to another button would improve it a lot already
Nice job! I like the map and overall style, not sure why there are long cooldowns on skills. Is there an exit from the map? I killed the single big demon, and have no idea what to do next.
The art looks stunning ! Maybe it would be even better if you added sound effects when attacking and receiving damage and maybe also visual feedback (blinking for example) Good work !
@tay @j0ye @wie @3mpty @lalou @lamossus @inferture @mimusangel @finn-truman @oleg-tarusov thanks for feedback! We are fix it soon
The game lack a bit of feedback, and the controls aren't really intuitive (Lacks a click and hold, spells should be selectable with the alpha keys (12345), lacks audio feedback, enemies can be killed from afar without triggering them, end boss is way too easy, lacks an ending ...)
I could also recognize the mixamo animations.
Still, overall it's a decent entry, good job for going this far.
nice graphic and sound fits well, but wish there would be a feedback when hitting an enemy or getting hits or a better hitbox, the health bar is useless from the enemy. would be testing it again :hearts: :dragon_face:
Great art! The controls were a bit slippery feeling, and the ranged abilities made combat a bit too easy. It might have been nice if the enemies would track you down once you attacked them, and if there was some sort of "shield" you could temporarily put up to block attacks. Good work again on the visuals!
Nice game. I wish you could select power using keyboard (1, 2, 3, 4). Enemies are too weak. Art is nice.
Unfortunately, the game was buggy for me :( In the beginning, I wasn't able to finish off one of the enemies and that little guy was constantly following me around, not doing any damage but still running towards me. And out of a sudden, I wasn't able to attack a boss, no matter what attack I pressed. I agree that powers tied to keys would be amazing and audio feedback too. Music started to feel a bit repetitive after a while but I get that creating music during a jam is super duper hard :) The graphics looks great, the whole environment and characters were nice!
Can you add downloadable version of this game? It is too laggy on my browser for some reason 😔. What comes to the game, graphics and level design seems to be amazing. Hopefully you can add the executable so I can experience this game to the fullest.
@mekyi thx for feedback! We fixed some bugs and now you can try on new version!
Outstanding Graphics! The gameplay concept is intelligent and fits the topic. The gameplay itself is sometimes a bit repitive and slow. But overall great work and bug Free!
The graphics and sounds were really good. The gameplay idea is also pretty good, but for me it was really difficult to defeat any of the enemies. Overall an interesting LD game.
