LETS GOOOOOO
This is great! The sounds are hilarious, there is storytelling, the game itself is really simple but I like how you interpreted the theme.
Really funny game! The sound effects are great and i personally really appreciate the level of detail in the pixel art and the thoughtful samurai lessons!
Really wonderful submission, great job. Felt very polished and liked the art.
I love the story and music is great. Nice pixel art and fun gameplay. Good work!
YOOOOOOoooooOOO. I love the style of this game! simple controls and great immersion. I find the theme implementation rather generic but the rest of the package is quite wonderful from gameplay to sound design.
Cool game, I especially like the environment art.
The art is veeeryy cool, the game idea is great too!
Cool game! I really enjoyed the main idea behind its gameplay and its theme, also the pixel art was great! Good job :)
Cool game! i love it and it remains me of retro game <3 the control where a i little uncomfortable i would add a second attack button maybe "j" or "k" and finally i couldn't tell what would kill me or not.. an red outline (for example) would help! great game! i have a ton of fun <3
The pixel art is really beautiful! I think it might be good-looking if the text in the upper-left corner can also be set to a pixel font? The music rearrangement based on oriental classical pieces is also impressive.
This game is very cool, it felt weird to attack with S key, it lacks from feedback! It would be cool effects from attacking and some other stuf, however it was fun! Great job on this and the graphics, also props for having Harakiri evey time myself HAHA :laughing:
This is a great submission. It has a lot of content for such a short period of time! I think that some more gameplay variety and some feedback would be cool, but great work!
Is realz cool. Love the idea of hara-kiri to restart) But why cant I jump from this position? Przechwytywanie.PNG
Fun and interesting game. Reaching the virtues is a little shocking, you arrive at the point without even knowing it and then it jumps to the name of the next virtue screen.
@paulhudson yeah thats a bit unfair.. technical issue with the raycast that determines wether you can jump or not.. i never realised this because after hours of playing i was speedrunning through these levels without seeing this happening. Im going to fix this next weekend for an Update but that will not be up for the voting period. Thanks for the feedback though
@bunkai Thats so true! We finished 10 minutes before the deadline so unfortunatly some things were a bit rushed..
@chaosinism yes you are right, that would look better. I just changed it, but i am not going to change the entry until the rating period has ended.
@freddyturbina Great ideas! Especially the outlines for the stuff that kills you!
The graphics are pretty good, the music is fitting too. The jump and run physics were a bit frustrating though.
This is so brilliant! The sounds effects are extremely appealing and the art is perfect. I would play a full campaign of this! I wish the counter in the top left had more meaning behind it or significance to what it was, I assume you needed to fill that before continuing to the next virtue?
really cool game! the only thing I would suggest is to make the water friendly, but thats a minor detail
@avatargreggles you are right :grin: **if you dont have enough points the level loops**
Dope!! I really like that interpertation of stuck in a loop! Do you guys have other games too? I really enjoy your asethetic!
Very nice, love the sound design and the concept. Don't like that S is attack but aside from that singular issue its fun :)
I like it! The story and art feel great :) I wasn't able to finish (on the clouds, my "streak" was zeroed randomly every few seconds, maybe it's a bug, or maybe I don't really fully get the mechanics (and speaking of the clouds, the blue ones disappeared after the first cycle)), but I enjoyed the little story. The game has a great mood, nice job!
@suchista Thanks for pointing that out! We had little time for testing so this could very well be a bug.. It does not seem to happen always though (hopefully)
I loved the storyline and the art was really well done! The only minor thing I would suggest is the shrine gate kind of looked like it was floating until I got a better look at the base, maybe consider lightening the color a bit to make it more visible? Anyways, great game!
This is a really impressive and polished game! I liked the variety of the art, and the main mechanic was fun. One minor thing is that right now you can cheat the game by pressing 's' constantly, so maybe a cooldown on the attack would be good. Also, on the last level, my points didn't reset when I died.
What I liked most was how nicely every aspect fit together to make a really convincing experience. Amazing job!
Good job.
Really nice game! Great sound and art, gameplay is rather straight forward. But how do I get out of here?Screenshot 2020-10-07 203534.png
@mykola When you get stuck like this you need to perform Harakiri (press F). Maybe that was not really clear..
@wujood ahhh, thank you for the hint! Don't know how I missed it, great idea actually! =D
Rich level design! Impressive amount of content for a jam game. Not sure if it's expected but in one level all platforms disappeared and I had to go though it three times before it let me finish.
Overall, great job!
@mykola do you know which level that was?
@wujood, the one with cloud platforms, dragons and stormy clouds. I remember it showed 1000 in the top left corner.
Okay i can confirm that, thank you very much for the report! :grin:
Very fun! Very polished. Great work.
I really like this, great game! Had fun playing it and loved the music, sound design (the wind, chimes, etc... btw: is there a meaning to that "yuoooouuuuuh"-voice that comes with the virtue-titles?) and overall atmosphere, also with the level design (lanterns, torii, etc) and the game art. If you consider developing it further, maybe the virtues can be represented in the level challenges/tasks/mechanics even further? Great choice with the screen size! Wanna be a bushi now... or watch a Kurosawa movie :grin:
Really loved your game! Like it hooked me right from the beginning and I really wanted to finish it but - am I the only one that got stuck at the "respect your environment" level? I got enough points and it still loops for me. Also I liked the little whistle sound when he jumps :) Also why does the scroll look like a dead mans hand? :v:
//nevermind I tried it another time and managed to win! super fun experience would definietely pay for a full version of this game
@nyubi Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your question:
According to my research this sound is called **Kakegoe** which is a shout that is performed in traditional japanese theater. It is often lead by a small drum (not sure how that is called). You can here a MUCH better version of that excact thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj7DjWc6ZVE
@jakob-reborn Maybe you missed the the scroll the first time? We realized too late that we are not clearly stating that you need to collect the scroll
@wujood yeah I missed the scroll, after reading through your game page I noticed that I needed scrolls and the points to win, but still I managed to finish the game . make a full version please ! :)
Cool game! I have read the comments above and I relate to what people liked too and also agree with their improvement suggestions.
So I will try to bring something new: If you chose the exotic screen ratio because we need to see what is coming in advance while keeping moving that's a nice solution. And I also liked it because it felt like being a movie character. You could also try to have the character not centered but somewhere on the left that would allow you to zoom a bit more on your great pixel arts while keeping the same distance of view toward the right.
A very bold and interesting concept. The most interesting thing is not even the very fact of being in a loop, if you have not gained the required number of points, but the fact that you can kill yourself in order to start over. It's too deep narrative game.
Nice games I had a fun time grandma did too x)
Nice concept. Some simple sfx/UI design improvements could improve the user experience for figuring out what to do/enhancing player feel. I like the aesthetic! Fun game.
I love the amount of content for this game considering it's a jam, feels just right. I did struggled with dying from things I thought were background art and sometimes took a few tries to realize what I was dying from.
@thebooksnail we just uploaded a new version. If you refresh the page you should be able to see the link to the updated version :) Thanks for the feedback!
Nice pixelart and colors. Good Job
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
