Fun to wreck walls. I would like some kind of goal in the game now it is just running around wrecking walls or killing monsters. Still fun! :smile:

This was a cool game! I like the artstyle and I really liked the music a lot! The wall punch mechanic was fun to use :) Great work!

The game mechanics are fun and the music is dope! The aesthetic works well :ok_hand:

Wow!!!!!! Very good game!!! The mechanic of desdtroy wall and explore the dungeon is amazing! Good job!

Very smooth. I wish the different rooms visually led into each other a little bit more cleanly (the lighting makes it a little weird), and that there was a little better indication which blocks you can and can't break (I had a hard time picking out the X from the normal cracks, and could never figure out why I would get one versus the other). Those are pretty small nitpicks though, given how nice this game is.

I like the idea and realisation of this game, movement and the core feauture are very polished and felt great. Good job.

I punched through a wall! The level generation is really cool, and I *love* how the music changes when you go into a new room. That first moment when I broke out of the starter chamber was really awesome. The controls were pretty good but a little frustrating sometimes. I wasn't able to dive-punch when I thought I should be able to, and it seemed like my jump height wasn't consistent.

The actual attack seemed a little weak-sauce and hard to use against enemies. A larger hit box for the punch and maybe an shock-wave coming out of the punch would have made combat feel a lot better. I ended up running through rooms and ignoring monsters most of the time because it was just too tedious to fight them, even after a few damage upgrades.

The movements and animations were great, the ledge grab was especially awesome. The design of the monsters themselves was great as well, they were unique and they behaved more or less how you'd expect as a player. I have to mention it again... the room generation and basic concept was awesome. Really nice entry!

A very well-polished game with great graphics and amazing music. Good job! :D

Love the polish, the procedural generation, and the sound! I think the combat is a little lacking could maybe use something like dodging or something to spice it up a bit. Well done!

Wow this is pretty good! Lovely little pixel art and the sound was good as well. Only thing I found was that I could never get very far without dying. Some sort of feedback whether I am doing damage to enemies would be great and some sort of health pickup would be nice. I also often came across chests that I simply couldn't get to. It seems like you had a set of rooms that were randomly picked and a hall to them was generated when you punched the wall open and there were just certain tiles where the chest was inaccessible. Otherwise I loved it!

This is my kind of game. I would spend hours playing (if I had more free time). Some questions: is the map random? What middleware did your sound designer use? intend to take the project forward? If so, I would like to be warned.

Congratulations!

The game is really neat. Great execution, and interesting concept :)

About the ledge grabbing mechanic, it's not really clear when you can or can't grab. On the combat side, flying ennemies can be super hard to defeat, so you end running around to avoid them.

Other than that, it was a really cool experience. Well done!

Nice atmosphere, reminds me of risk of rain

youngblade 2019-10-16 20:46

Very interesting idea. It was a little buggy, but considering the scale of what you were doing, I'm not surprised. I liked the mechanics and it was fun to play. Would be interesting to see a game like this with some clearer objectives (perhaps something in the vein of Minecraft-style achievements?)

Thanks for sharing it with us on stream!

Nice game! 👊

exilegl 2019-10-19 17:28

Very fun/well put together combat system! That combined with the wall destruction/various impact effects makes for a very 'juicy' game. Perhaps there could be some form of health indicator, especially for the enemies which take longer to kill.

Honestly one of the best entries I've seen in LD. Definitely something you should continue working with.

Here's how I did :smile:
