I really liked graphics, and gameplay. Nice game!

peco 2020-04-21 07:44

Wow the graphics and music are great :D :D And I like the concept of keeping the flame alive! It wasn't too challenging though

dave-gamedevelopement 2020-04-21 07:49

Amazing game, really enjoyed playing! Love the art style! The beginning/midlle part was pretty easy, but in the end it got kinda hard, so perfectly balanced :D

dovahkciin 2020-04-21 07:50

Broo ! Just the menu is amazing ! Like, the controls are very simple, and the grecs graphics are amazing too. How did you do this in 72h ? 5 stars bro.

ifidamas 2020-04-21 07:51

Wonderful graphics and sound! You have made a great job! bravo!

marmeron 2020-04-21 07:51

I think the art style and audio are awesome . I enjoyed your game!

xdsilentstorm 2020-04-21 07:52

A really good and fun game, though the camera was a bit jerky. Overall very impressive for a game jam game!

aaiko 2020-04-21 07:52

graphics was amazing, fun to play with, loved it

jani-penttinen 2020-04-21 07:54

The art is beautiful, what a great atmosphere. Keeping the flame alive, that was a good one.

saeedprez 2020-04-21 07:54

I enjoyed this game. The graphics and animations are really great. Controls could use a bit more polishing and sometimes I noticed getting stuck to edges and whatnot. Great job :)

lemons 2020-04-21 07:55

Wow- really good. Art style was great, music was great and the concept was nice!

jazkottaja 2020-04-21 07:57

Really solid game! pretty easy but who need balance :D

nehvis 2020-04-21 07:59

Pretty cool optics and smooth controls! Nicely done!

hanyzpapu 2020-04-21 08:00

Great game, I love the octopie <3

evert 2020-04-21 08:02

Great atmosphere and overall a really solid and impressive jam game! Audio was great too. Had fun playing this :)!

itsonrandom 2020-04-21 08:03

This is incredible, art style was great and consistent, loved the different platforms to interact with, felt like a fully fledged game rather than something made in a game jam, amazing effort!

nirose 2020-04-21 08:06

Really nice game, love the greek theme, and that you go through a labyrinth as well. Good use of the theme. The jumping is really floaty and some platforms are very hard to reach. Lowering them a tiny would be nice.

davidpeterworks 2020-04-21 08:13

Well done. The style is very great. The gameplay is polished. Tutorial screen is great!

westmave 2020-04-21 08:15

Beautiful art, Beautiful Sounddesign, Beautiful Song, Beautiful Game! The Jumpsd were a little frustrating here and there, but i had a lot of fun overall.

rooftopdog 2020-04-21 08:15

What a cool idea, this game really got me thinking on Disney's 1997 Hercules movie. I feel like the back ground, although appropriate, was really empty. Maybe a little drawing over the parchment would've gone a long way. On the Minotaur level I didn't realize I could jump on the pillars, got stuck there for a while. Overall super complete game!

timbaleek 2020-04-21 08:16

The graphics are really cool and fit together nicely. The mood was great, the idea with the light as a replacement for a UI is nice. The controlls are a bit sloppy. But overall amazing polish, really great game. :smile:

homunculusgames 2020-04-21 08:16

Hey, this is one of the best so far! Just by the way, the footstep sounds change you can know that a lot of love was put in this one. Loved the atmosphere and lighting, the platforming was good. The only thing is that the theme and real challenge kicks in, later on, this is not a con for me but other people might misjudge the game. Great job!

sirrafufl 2020-04-21 08:24

Really great game: nice graphics, great leveldesign, perfectly fitting the theme. Clever use of water for different enemies. To the end it gets harder(for me) but still has a fair checkpoint positioning. At the part with the dolphine statues it took me a while to see the waterdrops, especially if my torch was damaged. But overall a really good game.

tpzombie 2020-04-21 09:08

I love the art and it was really fun to play :D I just had a bug in the first water level when falling to the water the torch didn't extinguish. Nothing critical anyways. Great job!!!

motley 2020-04-21 11:12

Really good game, the art is amazing and the torch mechanic fits the theme well.

It got buggy at times though, I once jumped on water, once was in water and didn't die and once got teleported to the begining for no reason :)

arzi 2020-04-21 13:33

Love the art style! Making all the graphics must have been a Herculean effort :laughing: :sunglasses:

bonyok77 2020-04-21 14:23

The controls are so smooth, and Level designs are cool, but the game gets laggy in between level transitions in the web version...

2020-04-21 18:49

Graphics and music are nice, some more story would definitely help to get even more immersed into the greek setting!

Also, platforming was not so fun to pass through on the level with many blocks in the air and rolling stones falling from the top. A lot failed jumping and frustration in the process perhaps you'd like to do smth about that.

oneils 2020-04-21 21:04

Great level design and art style! I didn´t expect, that I would spend so much time on a platformer!

oneils 2020-04-21 21:06

I forgot to mention, that I love the sound, when the feet hit the ground! :D

sid-fish-games 2020-04-21 22:39

The game is beautiful (graphics and sounds are top notch) and very polished. Fun to play. I reckon some coyote time on jump movement would enhance it a little more.

lesinvisible 2020-04-21 23:35

Liked the lightning effects so much and hand-drawn styled graphics.

nek 2020-04-22 09:14

Wonderful artstyle and atmosphere however the jumping was very frustrating especially when jumping on the octopuses or later the bush.

alobker 2020-04-22 09:46

Very well done! I'ts also clear that there is a lot of polish on this game. Small things like the camera zooming out if you stand still.

unept 2020-04-23 14:18

Nicely done. Love the graphic style and the use of ancient lore in the game mechanics. A lot of "torch" games in this jam of course, but your game did such a great job of implementing it. The movement/collisions felt a bit wonky, but not a big deal at all. Great job overall!

noirdrive 2020-04-23 20:33

Hey, graphics are beautiful and overall artstyle is literally the successor of ancient Greece. I think there is a great effort in level designs. My only concern is flame doesn't completely diminish sometimes after falling deep water. Great job!

thekingbarry 2020-04-24 08:13

The DA is a strong point for this game - I really felt like I was in an Acient Greece fresco, and every detail (trees, the waves from the sea) were simply perfect. Good, excellent job on that ! As for the mecanics of the game, movement could be more precise (especially when you want to jump on a small pillar between two lakes), but it does not prevent you from having a nice experience ! Thanks for that nice game !

yangying 2020-04-24 13:49

Great graphics! I like the style of ancient greek vase and the animation is like the painting becoming real, so vivid. And it also very fit the word Olympics and the theme. Actually I am quite move when light the torch, even though this is a small jam game, it still has a temperament of legend. Great Job!

savvu 2020-04-25 08:37

Had to play this immediately since I am Greek by myself! Perfect style exactly like our ancient pots. The color scheme is also very very similar! Πολύ καλή δουλειά μπράβο σας και καλή επιτυχία απο Ελλάδα! 🇬🇷

joemag 2020-04-25 20:51

Very interesting vibe, very reminiscent of Apotheon. Pretty tight platforming, appreciate being able to use a controller with it. One issue I have is that the water from fountains was very hard to see, that made areas like the dolphin fountains more difficulty than they needed to be. Really enjoyed the physics of jumping and the bouncy octopus. Great job.

nakami 2020-04-30 20:09

Nice game, I like the antic pot style, the mechanic are easily understandable and the platforming is not to hard until the bouncing plant where it's become a bit more confuse and in my experience the jump have to be to perfect or I failed and failed a lot of time :/

I notice that just after the first moving clouds there is a jump on a stair and I don't really see the stair to jump on so the first time I assume that I had to fall but no I died :p I like the multiple road possibility in the "falling rock" level.

alexey-kuzovkov 2020-04-30 20:15

The art style is stunning. Also great level design. It is a very interesting game to play.

dk5000p 2020-04-30 20:55

Loved the art and audio. The jumping could have been a little better, but overall great game.

kaeveris 2020-05-02 10:10

Cool game! The audio is great and the art is awesome! I love the design of the world, the character, the lighting, really cool mood! I like how the camera zooms in on a checkpoint and zooms out when you are standing althought I think it shifts too fast when you shift direction left/right. I feel it should be more visible to the player that the fountains also extinguish the fire (I didn't see that too well and was surprised the level restrted)

lyrcaxis 2020-05-11 22:17

I played this because I'm greek and my artist posted this in our discord server.. didn't regret it^^

I got blocked at some point, at the level with the fountains, after the checkpoint. Dunno if that was intentional but I gave up after 7 tries of trying to figure out how to proceed.

I am interested to seeing the ending, and would like to know if I did something wrong :P

virimine 2020-05-11 22:22

Hi, I am the artist~ hahaha ^^ :upside_down: Nice atmosphere~ The art is pretty polished :open_mouth: I also loved the theme but unfortunately I also couldn't finish the game.. I got stuck at the level with the fountains :sweat_smile: but I really enjoyed the journey of the torchbearer tho I'd like to see how it ended~ Good job, guys~!

hybitous 2020-05-11 22:50

@lyrcaxis @virimine Thanks for playing. We struggled with some of the last levels as well and it took us a more tries than we'd like to admit. We're working on making the controls snappier, so that hopefully fewer people get stuck.

I think we should upload a video of a completed run of the game, so you can the the ending even if you get stuck. Hopefully I'll get to that tomorrow and don't fail too often :D

lyrcaxis 2020-05-11 22:59

@hybitous Looking forward to it! Good luck on the results!

virimine 2020-05-11 23:03
