I dig this.
Thanks! There was definitely a lot planned that didn't make it in. We're happy it's fun as-is!
Atmospheric. I really dig the terrain generation if it's procedural. Definitely could have benefitted from some spooky music even if you didn't make it.
I did not have the patience to decode any of the ciphers, however I can sort of feel the textures underneath. Very atmospheric and I really dig the main track. Wish I had more bandwidth for it.
Solid SHMUP. A little basic but gets the job done.
Didn't really grab me long enough to see most of it.
Good job overall. Camera sensitivity was a bit too high.
@jipark Thanks! We were really scrambling at the end. Mages weren't even in the game until 2 hours before the deadline. It was an ambitious project for a jam and I'm glad you had a good time with it.
@vpro thanks for the feedback! we definitely went back and forth on a soul lantern pause and ultimately decided that with our item generation the way it was, we needed a bit of extra pressure to make the players' decisions a bit more 'sloppy'. with more time to really get in there and balance the generation to a point where every item was a tough choice, we probably could have added a pause or at least time dilation to the soul lantern. alas though, tough decisions must be made in the jam.
There's... not really any strategy to this that I can see? If there is it's not very obvious.
Good presentation overall. A little slow to get going though.
The game wouldn't really work for me... which is weird because there doesn't seem to be a lot going on.
Good atmosphere.
Couldn't get it working.
