The edge tiles are unreachable, and the potions sometimes spawn there :confused: (and sometimes even outside of the map)

Nice art style, it was fun for a few minutes, but it needs a bit more depth. Keep it up! :slight_smile:

@tudvari thanks, Todd. It should be easy to fix potion spawning outside of the map :) Don't know if I will be able to overcome my laziness and actually do it

I've enjoyed the art style and concept, but i never felt a sense of danger, there's a lot of health potions everywhere almost all the time.

@edevjogos thanks for the feedback. I'm working on an update that should up the difficulty a bit. With any luck, it will be ready this weekend

Simple concept, but it makes for a super fun gameplay loop! So impressed with how elegant this is. Also helps that the art is very cute and the sound is so well made. Will add that potions on edge pieces are quite tough to reach, a lot of grinding into the corner is required.

Thanks a lot, @jam373! This is a fan game, so I took the sound directly from the original. All else was made by me, though :)

Nice work! Fun little game for sure.

In one of my attempts, the hunter got stuck outside the map: (He was twitching back and forth every frame.) It also appears to be possible to squeeze out of the map yourself, probably due to the high speed of the player character.

Other than that though, nice work. I assume the music belongs to PoE, so wouldn't really be fair to take it into consideration, but it did fit quite well.

@binaryspark I wonder how did you manage to achieve that :D I know it's possible because of how bad I'm at using colliders, but still :D Yes, the music belongs to PoE, so opted out of audio category. Thanks for the feedback!

This is fun! Like a game of tag. You can expand a lot on this. Awesome work!

simanis 2019-05-07 08:09

@xsoodx glad you like it :)

Got to about 300. Nice game! I died once because I was trying to destroy one tile but another one spawned next to me right as I pressed SPACE and I gave up two hearts (oops). I feel like "Space" should cost one half heart, not necessarily how many tiles I destroy! Either way, it was fun!

Awesome game! I got to about 200 points. Fun game to play. Here are my thoughts on the game: 1) The voices were simply awesome and it adds good amount of immersion to the game 2) The music plays well the voices. 3) Simple mechanics keep the fun and addictive.

@aurel Thanks a lot for the feedback and helping me get past the 20 ratings threshold! Yeah, I agree that only a half life should be taken no matter how many tiles are destroyed. Unfortunately, I had coded the interaction in a weird way, so it cannot be fixed quickly :D

simanis 2019-05-23 23:22

@bala-shanmugam Really glad you liked it! The music and voice acting were good because they were taken from Path of Exile (poe) :D This was a fangame of PoE. Big thanks for helping me reach the 20 rating threshold!
