Link is not working....However, I still love your art and cover of the game.

gudkova-ds 2024-10-08 16:16

daniela 2024-10-08 17:09

Waiting for game, art cover is nice:))))

kirass 2024-10-08 18:01

This game is so cool! I loved it!

gmary 2024-10-08 18:46

Unfortunately I can not download the game, the link is unavailable

maneoliz 2024-10-08 18:55

highly anticipating when the link will be working, this looks like it could be a lot of fun! pretty sure this is one of the most original ideas i've seen this jam!

vittima 2024-10-08 20:24

The cover and title sound very interesting, but unfortunately the link doesn't work. Please let me know when you fix it, interesting to play it

ulziton 2024-10-08 23:47

Absolutly amzing visual

catzp 2024-10-09 06:19

I woke up after a long nice sleep only devastated to find that the upload was unsuccessful...

But now it is available both on pc and web! Plzzzzz give us a second chance and comeback to enjoy the game!

I didn’t realize this was an MBTI test until I saw the final results, lol. The idea of combining game mechanics with personality tendencies is cute and really interesting. Great job on this! I also love the cute art!

royur 2024-10-09 06:46

I am enfp? Nice twist using personality twist in survivor game.

gameplay really good, i like random events ater level up.

vidu 2024-10-09 06:51

This is a solid foundation, can't wait to see more from you!

rsheepdv 2024-10-09 07:00

Cool game and surprisingly accurate. I feel that its kinda hard to keep track of whats going on though, especially with how the characters spin to follow your mouse. The designs are super cute! Would buy plushies of them :>

2024-10-09 07:45

TEN OUT OF TEN! I like it hahaha 微信图片_20241009154400.png

outstar 2024-10-09 08:47

This was fun, my real MBTI is ENTP and the gaming one seems to be ENFJ, super interesting! I thought the game might've been a bit too long for a jam entry, but I have to admit I enjoyed snowballing through enemies with all my added powers in the last few minutes. Really fun idea!

lucy-z 2024-10-09 13:04

Link is working now! I played your game and I really like it!

catzp 2024-10-09 20:19

@foursay Haha nice surprise isn't it! Thank you for your comments and liking our ideas ^^

catzp 2024-10-09 20:19

@royur thx for liking this twist <3

catzp 2024-10-09 20:20

@dragonmain You probably also enjoyed using the N-tornado as well ^^

catzp 2024-10-09 20:21

@vidu We are actually thinking about expanding the game and add bosses. Let us know about your thoughts!

catzp 2024-10-09 20:23

@rsheepdv Haha we put effort into the testing questions XD. Thanks for liking the art, we are actually thinking about making an art exhibition page to show off the cute designs ^^.

catzp 2024-10-09 20:24

@ccthe2022user Awww thank you for your support!

catzp 2024-10-09 20:25

@outstar ENTP gangs here let's go XD Do you think adding a fast forward button would help? and yes the last few minutes are the best^^

catzp 2024-10-09 20:25

@lucy-z Thank you and I hope you enjoyed!

awootis 2024-10-09 21:17

megurt 2024-10-09 21:24

Was so fun to play! As INFJ I got ENFJ which is close :D I really enjoy art! photo_2024-10-09_18-06-06.jpg

outstar 2024-10-09 21:56

@catzp Yeah, if you have time I think it would be awesome especially for folks who can't really do combat well but want to enjoy the "story" (questions, in this case) :)

lizz 2024-10-10 03:43

First off, I love the art a ton! The questions in between kept me entertained, I did struggle to figure out the start to then be OverPowered :rofl: This is what I ended up with, though I am not exactly extrovert, more liking to keep some control and love to cooperate effectively yet without affecting what others like to do in the game.

clema 2024-10-10 03:52

I got ENTP! I really like this game. A lot of abilities and enemies types for just 3 days, and that variety is really nice. entp.PNG

splittheatom 2024-10-11 08:42

What a polished game! The take on the Vampire Survivors-like through decisions on your gaming personality made the game more engaging and satisfying. The graphics and audio are also really well done. Really good job!

tiberiusuciu 2024-10-11 08:45

Game progression is excellent, I forgot to take a screenshot, but I got a character dressed in light blue, probably a nurse? Not sure :sweat_smile: Good game! :smile:

catzp 2024-10-11 08:52

@lizz Thank you for your comments! Yea the test can be a bit E-inclined we figured through feedbacks. Glad you like the art^^

@clema YOOOO ENTP gang here! Yea that was a lot of coding to do...TvT

@splittheatom Thank you for your comments. Glad you like our interpretation of survivors-like ^^

@tiberiusuciu HAHA that's the healer ISFJ, meaning you are a super caring and considerate person <3

iven 2024-10-11 08:56

The idea of combining a personality test with this type of game is really interesting (should we call it a "Vampire Survivor-like" game?). In the later stages, the game starts to feel easier, but I think that's the clever part—it lets the player experience how powerful their personality can be. Really great game, and I’m excited to see what more you can do with it!

nazariglez 2024-10-11 09:29

Combining a personality test with a survivor-like game is such a unique and fun idea! I really enjoyed the gameplay, especially the random events after leveling up. The art is super cute and adds a lot to the experience. Awesome work!

serenewind 2024-10-11 09:34

@nazariglez Thank you! I’m also very satisfied with how we’ve combined the personality test with combat.

serenewind 2024-10-11 09:34

@iven This is exactly my design intention! Since this is a personality-themed game, unlike other survivor games, I don’t really want to test the player’s ability to optimize skill builds. Instead, I want players to follow their own inner thoughts when answering the questions. No matter what they choose, they will end up becoming very powerful (in different letter-related abilities).

Of course, this approach does reduce the game’s replayability to some extent. We are considering adding features in future versions to increase replay value without disrupting this theme XD.

jellyfishhunter 2024-10-11 10:36

I love the concept of mixing an interactive game with personality tests. I'm also positively surprised that my actual MBTI (INTP) differs from my results of your game. I suppose player type and personality don't always align with each other. image_2024-10-11_123440191.png

serenewind 2024-10-11 10:52

@jellyfishhunter

Thank you for playing!

Regarding your last sentence—I think so too! I’m an example myself. My friends in real life all think I’m an F type, while my friends who play games with me online think I’m a T type XD. When we play games, we might put on different personality masks lol."

Let me know if you need any adjustments!

joshua-reumann 2024-10-11 18:46

Great job really interesting concept to bring in the mbti ;)

dashvirus 2024-10-11 22:10

I had a lot of fun and your idea is really innovative. Nevertheless, I lost 30 seconds before the end, getting insta killed by 15 rockets launched at the same time. Fine, but like, how frustrating not to have the score shown at the end, like I was ecpecting so much to have sort of a recap of my questions. I mean at least you could put something like "85% accuracy of the test" to justify that I have not fully completed it :(

Anyway, other than that, it was really cool, nice graphics, mechanics and audio. A good rating for me. Good job to the team (and I like the game jam fear backstory behind haha)

catzp 2024-10-11 23:20

@dashvirus Thanks for the comments! Also apologize for not being super thoughtful T_T We are considering adding a post-jam update with an optional "revive" button so everyone can get to the end... will update you when it's done!

tesseract 2024-10-12 03:14

"You favor making efficient in-game decisions, even if it means overlooking character emotions or story elements" Now, which answer will give me the stronger build? :)

catzp 2024-10-12 06:42

@tesseract hahhahahahha you got the spirit :) just be honest and you will get the strongest lighting bulb :)

wakobu 2024-10-13 04:52

My favorite entry so far :fire: Very nice arcade feeling, with visual effects, damage number popping out... I love it!

What you can improve: - it's too long, you should halve the duration of the game - I know these kind of games are super hard to balance but you get overpowered too quickly - the stats upgrade depending on your answers is a cool concept, but it feels a bit odd while playing the game because you have no idea how answering will impact your gameplay

catzp 2024-10-13 17:37

@wakobu Thank you for your feedback! Those are some very honest and valuable suggestions and thank you for speaking out <3

Yes we found it hard to balance in two dimensions. First is to balance the difficulties between different player group. Players good with action(especially survivors-like) games tend to think this is too easy, while others struggle to get to the end. The second dimension is to balance the actual game play VS the concept of "All personalities can succeed", which we def found a lot work there still needs to be done.

Thanks again for your feed back and I hope you stay tuned for future updates ^^

ithildin 2024-10-15 22:13

I may not be the biggest stan of the Myers-Briggs test, but I loved how you used it as the core of the game. Brilliant!

You also managed to nail the experience of a survivors-like including the sense of progression towards OP, which I can imagine can be especially hard to balance in a game jam game. I didn't struggle too much (P and some lifesteal helped with that) and by the end I became STRONG, but I always felt the need to keep moving and avoid projectiles, which is good. Perhaps I did miss the occasional feeling of facing a horde filling the screen, but I'm being greedy now.

Graphics and music also worked really well, and I love how the player themselves change according to the temporary result (a nod to Brotato, perhaps?).

This was my "truth" build. I got INTP, as I expected, but now I'm really tempted to fake the answers and experiment with other configurations: intp.png

A couple of suggestions: * As I mentioned before, I kept the focus on P and it carried me through the game :sunglasses: ... or perhaps I'm just imagining it. It would be nice to see the DPS contribution for all the "letters". * On a similar note, it could be cool to see the temporary result when you lose.

Five well-deserved stars from me. Congrats!

vivyhasadream 2024-10-16 01:45

A fun way to do survey!

evghenia 2024-10-17 07:44

The game is so much fun! I really liked it, but at some point I've got stuck in left part of the screen. It was for a few seconds, but it did scared me for a bit. All of you did a great job!!

serenewind 2024-10-17 20:55

@ithildin Thank you for playing our game :D Yes, it would definitely be great to see the DPS contribution of each letter!

We also need to optimize the defeat screen: Since players might not have had enough time to collect all the letters or the sample size might be too small before being defeated, the results might not be very accurate. That's why we didn't implement it in the jam version.

serenewind 2024-10-17 20:59

@evghenia Thank you for playing! I'm sorry the bug caused you trouble. I think I know the reason behind it, and we'll fix it in future versions!

sasa-2010 2024-10-19 09:04

Wow! The game is so wonderful! Keep making games!

tomtomgome 2024-10-19 18:09

That is such a creative Idea. Sooo well made, well executed, very coherent. The INFJ in me is very pleased. This game ticks all the right boxes

empyreans 2024-10-22 01:30

Great concept and very engaging experience! Thank you for bringing this test to the stream :)

Wow! I'm generally not that much of a fan of survivors-type games, but this one was super inventive and unique!! The art was stylish, the music was great, and the whole experience was very polished and clean. The spin of theming it around a personality test was really cool as well. I didn't really expect it to actually give me a score at the end, so I was pleasantly surprised when it did, and ended up being really accurate! I was super impressed by how many different variations of each creature there were! I didn't really understand *why* they were changing and upgrading as I was playing, my best guess was that the creatures levelled up as you dealt damage with them, but after reading through the post and realizing that they scaled based on your answers, I gained even more respect for your entry. Amazing work all around, I think this project could go far!!

eyeofbholden 2024-10-22 21:30

Love the spin on the personality test

catzp 2024-10-24 05:54

@aurailus Thanks for your comment and thx for liking the game! Yes we are thinking about extending the game into a full version and any comments/suggestions are welcomed ^^

Also I just want to say that I played your game for this jam and the one in LD54 and I love those! I am personally a big puzzle game fan and I would love to connect and see if there might be collab opportunities ^^
