Cool character art!
I really like the idea of the game. It plays really nice and the difficulty progression feels really good. Sometimes when you spawn, you die instantly, I had to redo everything after already finishing the first two levels. The button input in level 1 mixed with the white of the clouds, so I couldn't see them. A black border around them would've helped :) The character designs are really cool!
Reminds me of icy tower but reversed and with more platforms variety. Really liked the music, backgrounds and character portraits, but other graphical elements like platforms and characters were a bit inconsistent with their scale etc.
The New Era "It's a Man, Down 100 Stories"
I had a bit of meldown at fist - character moved right sometimes for no reason and I was thinking it was some kind of 'sudden wind' mechanics that were never mentioned... and then I looked at my gamepad and it was it. Game movements were so NICE on gamepad, shame there were no interaction buttons binded, so only movement worked.
For some reason it was often that I would spawn somewhere unsafe (right on the top) after getting hit somewhere at the bottom and as a result - instant death even with 2 hearts. Plus Bats in underground seemed to hit me twice for some reason too (maybe also wrong spawn). Would love some immunity timer for such occasion. Couple of seconds would do so you can escape whatever it is actually about to hit you while you spawned and still disoriented.
Overall liked the concept a lot. Quite nice difficulty raise, though checkpoint or couple (thinking about after you reach goddess) would be great!
I like it, I like the different types of platforms that have different effects and it feels like the right level of challenge. I found a weird glitch where I fell off one of the icy-looking platforms right before it moved, and when I respawned I was outside the boundaries. The controls and graphics are a little rough but overall it's a cool entry!
Epic music! Fun chars design (cutscenes are cute!). Maybe not that easy to control, but you get used to it. Fell plenty, but loved it when was gently caught).
I love the art and character design!
Hey! I like the art and the story, I little hard to reach the button, I find a bug that the player dissapears and you see the cam going to the button, the music is nice to, good work!
Fun game, I love Greek mythology and am in Athens right now so I may be biased. I could definitely see potential to expand the game into a mobile game in the style of something like downwell + doodle jump + greek mythos
The graphics in this game may be modest, but they possess a certain appeal that reflects the developer's dedication and artistic vision
Great music and colors. If you'll continue to work on it, it can become a great big game!
The game is pretty addictive!
The music sounds nice and fits the overall vibe of the game. The character designs are really charming. In order to improve the look of the game, you should have the same scale (1pixel = 1cm for example) for every pixel on screen. Everything would be more cohesive that way and hightlight your animations, which work really well.
This one is a really good entry!
Congratulations to your team, one of the coolest entries I have played so far. It's obvious you have put so much effort in this and you did a pretty good job.
Wow, inversed Doodle Jump! Gods with casual outfit looks impressive. Gameplay is fun but there are some things which make it a bit annoying: * Hint to use WASD made me think there is no jump in this game. I spent some time playing before finding out you can jump using space. * Text sometimes has the some color as background, so I was unable to read that entering door is on E and had to mash through my keyboard. * Hermes sometimes spawns outside the screen (already mentioned in other comment). * Several times I jumped into abyss but it turned out that there is a platform like half a screen under the actual screen.
Doodle jump in reverse :D interesting concept. I oved the character drawings!
The character portraits are my favorite part. I wish the springs and the player had some more animation. Currently the gameplay is a little lackluster.
Nice animations and art style. Though I kinda wished it had original music. Cool game nontheless!!!
