Solid and fun puzzle game. Well done!
Great idea and solid controls. Had a lot of fun playing it. Great job.
Just noticed why many felt that the main character isn't shooting many bullets. The shooting has a timer on it to prevent a spam of bullets, the problem is there is a reset each time the spacebar is pressed, so the best way to shoot is to hold down the key. This is probably a bug, so I might fix it.
I enjoyed the environment and the gameplay. Good job!
Very interesting concept and gameplay. Loved the visual. Fun game overall!
I had a great amount of fun playing this game. The variety of abilities is great, although the Q ability is OP, reached the 600 kills portal only with it. Nice job.
I liked how the game gets right into it, no need for explanation/tutorial, it's just "go and play". I enjoyed the concept, final fantasy like battles but simplified, and the theme was well put into the game. Great job.
Cool idea behind it, and I really liked the strategy element put into the game. Great job!
Game was amazing! I got sad when I reached the end, 'cause I wanted more of it. So good.
I liked the idea of "scarifying" the sheep, but I think that we would be more fun and make the game more "puzzly" if the number of sheep was fixed per level and not infinite because, in my opinion, as soon as you see the level layout, you already know how to solve it, there's no challenge. Other than that, I enjoyed the game. Nice work!
Great artwork and fun game overall, managed to reach the end and kept wanting more :). Good job.
Solid platformer, but I wished it had more levels, I was enjoying the puzzles. Good job.
Loved the idea and how to theme was applied to the game. Got a little confused on the first 3 levels, didn't know you had to sacrifice the animals to the portal, and when I knew you had to do that, got stuck again because I didn't know you sometimes had to sacrifice more than once to advance. Other than this, it is a solid and fun game. Well done!
Fun and simple game, gets right to the point. Goob job.
Loved the art and the solid gameplay. I also thought that the theme was well used in the game, very smart. Great game overall!
Nice and interesting concept that fits the theme. Controls for the sheep was great. Fun game overall, nice job.
@elzach Thank you so much for the feedback. I totally agree that the readability for the icons could be improved, and when I didn't have the screenshot showing the functionality of each button, people were completely lost. I wanted to try to make a game in this genre, but honestly I have no idea how to tweak it, so I understand now that not having enough money at the start is somewhat of a problem. I'll keep learning from this. Once again, thank you :)
Really liked the simplicity for this style of strategy game. The help button is very helpful and essential since there isn't a "tutorial" or instructions screen. Great Job!
Had so much fun! Excellent controls and gameplay. I only wished that it had more than 8 direction to shoot. Nevertheless it is a great. Great job.
I liked the weird concept for the game. The atmosphere felt great. Aside from some bugs, I enjoyed the game. Well done.
The animations are great. Loved the color scheme and the chip-tune music. Great job!
Had so much fun playing it. Good controls and great music. Good job!
My run went way better when I found out that you don't actually have water the plant when you get to the well. I think there are way too many slimes right at the start, but I managed to save the plant anyways, so it's hard but no impossible. Overall, good game. Great job.
Loved the feel and pace of the game. Great atmosphere too. Well done!
Liked the story and pacing a lot. The art style is cute. Good job!
A very cute game. Loved the art and music. Good job!
Really liked the pixel art style. Looks easy but it's actually pretty challenging. Good job!
Loved the art style and music, but god damn, even on Easy the game is so freakin' hard. Great game, good job.
Interesting idea for the game. I really liked the unit's movement. Good job.
Loved the addition of mini-games, although some of them are quite hard. The art style is quite cute, but I wonder why the framerate that I get is somehow low. Overall great game. Good Job.
Simple and fun game, straight to the point. Good job!
Great pixel art and music choice. Solid controls and straight forward mindless fun. Good job!
Yey, I actually won a game. Really liked the art style, and the solid gameplay. Nothing to complain. Great job.
Reminds me of a game that Team17 had for mobile. Cute art style and lovely music. Well done!
Very cute, simple yet hard little game. Loved it. Good job!
A very polished and well presented game, made by a team of 3 people, that's very impressive, you guys are group of creative geniuses. Amazing work.
I was doing fine, plenty of air while moving down, then 1 air ever so often, maybe this transition could be smoother. Aside from this, I really had fun. Good game.
Really liked the visuals and the simple controls. The concept looks easy, but in practice it is a bit challenging try to memorize stuff while you're blowing things up. Really liked the game, nice job.
I apologize everyone, after long hours of coding you only want to hibernate and stay in bed, and I completely forgot to add a way to play the game, my bad. Problem solved now.
@sakura-magika Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I do agree that the controls could be tweaked a bit more, but at one point I had the player being able to move and attack at the same time, but it made the game way easier, you just went swinging all over the place and everything just died, that's why I changed it. Regarding the option to "Stay" at the current level, it is to grind more gold, but you have to decide: stay at a level where it is safe but you get less rewards, or risk it by advancing. Anyways, thanks for trying out the game:)
@florianduf Thanks for the feedback, the art as well the rest of game was all made from scratch by me (no known game engine just a couple of libraries). I agree the controls need a lot of improvement, and I specially have to figure out how to make Box2D physics to feel "solid" and predictable.
Ah, a fan of fever dreams, so am I :) Loved the take on the theme, it's different and creative.
A bit too simple, but hey, I had fun. Good job.
Simples controls and the mechanics/physics behind it is very solid. Fun but hard game. Good job.
Love the expressions that they make when you punch them, very funny. It's an adorable and funny game. Good job.
Love the sense of scale, makes you feel alone in the water. I did wish it had more enemies, most of the time was just navigating through the caves. Good game nonetheless.
Liked the simple controls and concept. Found a bit weird having so many styles of art through the game (pixel art, mixed with some low res art, and then some well animated enemies). Overall it was fun. Good one.
Simple but straightforward dungeon crawler, I wish it had different layouts for the levels, but I did enjoyed anyway. Good job.
Cute game with solid controls. Wish that some of the sounds were a bit lower, but overall had fun. Good job.
Like other said, some objective or some fail state would've been cool, maybe some enemies even. Loved the art, and it was very chill. Overall, good game!
