I like the art, and I love the premise! 😻 I couldn't figure out how to get through the first level though. I would get past the button, and then die to the two guards. Is there an attack?

@ukulelefury Thank you for trying out my game! The combat is supposed to trigger after the second dialogue, the two guards play their turn, and then during your turn you should have the ability to attack on the tiles that are highlighted in red, so sorry if I didn't make it clear enough!

Good attempt looks very good. I only had the problem in the third level that one of the guards never walked on top of the button. There was no way (that i could find) to restart the level

@aterlamia Thank you so much for playing the game! The third level is the last level, I unfortunately didn't have time to implement an end of game screen. If you want to restart a level, you can open the settings screen from the top right cogwheel icon and restart from there :smile:

It has a great concept art. I liked the premise but It doesn't really fit on the theme. Anyway, it was fun to play.

I really liked the 3d models you made and the unlit color palette you went with! Obviously I had to play as Chonk the Formidable.

The two notes that I have are: 1. it took me a bit of time to understand that the guards loop their actions after they die 2. I felt that some of the text was unnecessary and it scrolled too slowly

Overall, great work!

Good looking game with strong mecanics. But agree with previous comment, text scrolls too slowly. Some transition between scene could be a nice addition to polish your game ;) Still a very good job for a compo game !

@gonzalol @sharkwithlasers @harusame Thank you a lot for playing my game, and thank you for your feedback! I tried to play with the theme by having the ghosts repeat their previous actions but I agree that it's not as obvious as some other entries. I agree that the text scroll speed was a bit slow, I'll keep that in mind for the next jam :smile: I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!

I like the looks of it, nice art! Characters are cute , they even have those adorable ear twitch animation on the main screen! Very nice!

@bootak Thank you for trying my game! I'm really glad you liked the art and animations, although in hindsight I probably should have spent a bit more time on making levels than animations :sweat_smile:

Nice art style and cute atmosphere!

I Liked the animations a lot! Gameplay is a nice idea, maybe just a bit slow which the text speed didn't help. Adding a a preview of where you'll be able to attack after moving could be useful, and maybe something similar for where ennemies can move. Slight bug i saw, the "Thanks for playing" text at the end seemed to freak out a bit.

Very cute characters ! I was stuck because the ghost didn't want to stand on plates :sob:

sozey 2020-10-13 12:15

@tvorojok Thank you for trying the game!

@salier Thanks a lot for playing my game and for your feedback! I agree making the gameplay more dynamic and adding more feedback for the user would have been great!

@wakobu Thank you for playing! Unfortunately I didn't have time to make a tutorial or proper explainations so it's not too obvious but the ghost repeats the actions it did before being killed so you need to get the enemy to walk on the plate before killing them and their ghost will be stuck in a loop and step on it again :smile:

It was interesting for me to play. The graphics look cute. The music is a little annoying for its monotony, but in general it suits the game. The dialogues seemed to me very slow, it's a pity that after you die you cannot speed up or skip them.

Great graphics! Great name for a game :). Playing as a cat wizard is pretty cool! The graphics are really really good, I love the artstyle. I wish the game was a bit longer :). Also the thanks for playing text at the end glitched out really hard for me.
