Sorry, but your website link doesn't work.

I just fixed the link, thanks for notifying me.

The game looks ok. Plenty of screens of roads and dungeons to explore. Sprite animations are nice, and shooting enemies and opening dungeon doors is working. Good job.

You know what? I like the main char, well actually I like the graphics pixel art style is really brings a whole new level to game presentation. Mostly your effort to make the animation. This is good, should be taken to longer gameplay, nice one!

Graphics are nicely chosen! Could be more improved to the theme and animations. Mechanics are working, a little bit slow. But the work is here and we have a fully playable game! Keep the good work !

The animation of the main char is very good. I want more enemies in the first glass stages.

Not really sure what I’m supposed to be doing. The combat is really lackluster though it doesnt feel right. The art would probably look better if the camera was zoomed in more though

The combat is meant to very heavy and clumbersome, If you shoot the gems on pedestal it unlocks the next door.

I love the atmosphere, the music is emotional. With some sprites and a large world it seems like there's a lot to explore. The small background story you put here in the page and in the game also helps that a lot. The fact that the final boss is a larger version of yourself is meaningful.

In terms of gameplay, the best thing to do at all times is avoid the slimes. The slash animation is much slower than the enemies. This isn't necessarily bad. I really like the fact that slimes are able to casually cross to other rooms. It's strange that the boss' spells cross between rooms but yours sometimes don't.

Maybe there's too much healing available after Area 3.

Good experience overall!

Great job and on so little time. Amazing.

To make the attack feel more instant you can go to the last attack frame first and then fill in the information about what just happened with the swoosh effect(tail-effect) after that. It ofcourse depends on what feeling your after.

Enjoyable overall, the movements are smooth, the space to explore wide. Well done! I missed scrolling between scenes a little.

It's a bit hard and checkpoints would be nice, but other than that, a nice game!

Great exploration. The combat is not fun though. Great use of music and mood.

Very enjoyable, I thought the game mechanics were presented a really great way and music usage was amazing. I think the combat could be sped up a little bit though. Awesome work. :thumbsup:
