This was easily one of the top 20 games I played made for this jam, absolutely amazing
This game has a nice mood. However, it was pretty repetitive and the player gets stuck on walls too easily.
Pretty fun, I liked the upgrades that you got, they kept the game feeling fairly fresh. My main problem with it is the lack of sliding collision -- getting stuck on walls interrupted the flow of the game. However, it was nice that the game didn't punish you too harshly for dying, which kept me playing longer than I might have otherwise.
I really enjoyed your game. The mood and thee idea are fantastic. Thank you for that. Nevertheless i found the collisions against ,the wall a bit rigid
The concept of echo as a navigational tool is cool. I liked a lot the game feel of the echo wave.
The art is very pretty, but unfortunately there are several mechanical flaws in the game. You stick to every wall you touch and the echo many times doesn't illuminate every tile, making it seem like there is a passage when it's just a wall.
A pretty fun game, I went through the whole thing, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Normally I don't like maze games that throw you in blind but this did it pretty well. Some of the tile drawing was a bit iffy, and I got stuck in some narrow passageways sometimes, but overall it was a fun game and there was a LOT of levels for a game jam product, so nice work!
Amazing game!!! Some levels were actually quite hard to pass! I liked the challenge!
@nachtwitch, thank you ;) your game looks cool, i'll test it later
@sylvie, yeah you are right, i think we should have delete somes lvl,and increase the principal path's size. thank you for your feedback !
@stefanie-leitch, thank you! we should have slow down the speed of the avatar, i think he is too fast for confined areas.
@shubart, wow thank you very much ! your game look so fun, i'll test it soon XD
Excellent game. Great ideas . Give me more levels !
@pedro-rosa, Thank you for your feedback ! One of our friends did the soundtracks for free, he wasn't in our team at the beginning. It was really kind from him to do it for us. He helped us a lot !
@brokenmirrormedia, thank you, fortunately we had 9 person for making this game, so the amount of work was divised a lot (execept for ours programmer XD)
@oriana, thank you, we are glad to see you like challenging games !(despite some "challenges" in ours game were due to collisions problems XD)
I really enjoyed playing this game. The audio and art style really fit the theme of the game. Nice, simple, and fun game play. Great work!
The positive was the overall feel, it was quite emersive, the feeling of darkness was very eminent. I didnt like the fact that i got stuck on walls quite often and what I think would have been cool if there were fewer reasons to not spam the LMB. Otherwise good work :)
Unusual game mechanics pleased) However, the gameplay is slightly monotonous. Probably not enough variety of enemies, but given the fact that the game had to be done in 3 days, good job! :smile:
pretty cool game, the mood comes throu and the grafics are decent :v: controling the character feels a little bit clunky, but overall that's a nice entry, gj!!
Amazing game! Mechanics are great. Good job!
Awesome game, but after 5 minutes I get bored) If you add more variety, It will be awesome
Nice aesthetics. And interesting gameplay mechanics. Slightly repetitive/monotonous, but I suppose it's meant to be kinda meditative experience :)
I like the art a lot, and the music and sound effects were cool. I found myself wishing I could see the cave and the monsters more frequently, because I really liked how they looked. In terms of gameplay, it was a little frustrating and repetitive, and I frequently hit random monsters in the dark, which is the point, but which was a little frustrating. I agree that getting stuck on the walls was too frequent - some smoother collision detection or motion would have helped. Cool mood, and the black screen to start really is nothing, so good job on the theme. Cute player art also.
Interesting game. I like this concept of making sound to see your surroundings. I have a problem with the length of the game though. You've created a lot of levels, which sounds great, but the levels are very much the same. There is nothing new to it. No new puzzles other than finding the exit. There is no increased difficulty or anything, except for when a new monster is introduced. So because of that the game got kind of boring. But overall I think the game is very pretty and the music helps a lot with setting the mood. Good job!
So I inevitably got stuck :grimacing: How do I restart? Capture36.JPG
Sort of repetitive overtime, but hey it's a finished game for Ludum Dare! Hope your team are able to learn from these struggles, if you find yourself in a jam another day! :slight_smile:
Hey @itsdanidre thanks for your feedback ! We noticed that our colisions were pretty hard, so sometimes you get stuck for no reason, we're sorry for this. There's no way to restart in game. You should quit then restart the game, unfortunatly.
We learnt a lot and we hope that we'll work together again. I'll try your game now !
