Love the aesthetic in this! Reminds me a bit of the cutscenes in Rock of the ages. The combat feels a bit stiff, since the animation is quite long. The hitboxes of the axe and enemies are also a bit unintuitive, and sometimes when it seems like you it the enemy you actually didnt.
Youve somehow turned what would normally be boring as heck into an enjoyable and visually stunning game. I'd love to see a full version of this, with sound and everything. Props!
Love the intro and concept! In the beginning I was a bit confused as to what I should be doing, I think that could have been conveyed to the player a bit better.
Amazing music, gameplay, art, EVERYTHING!!! Seriously dude, this is quite the game for 48 hours. You managed to combine 2 different genres in a way that I never could have expected. Great job.
Amazing game this time! Love the controls and the artstyle. As others have said, the controls feel a bit too responsive at times, but overall it was a great experience to play!
Definetly a solid entry! The lighting works great for the ambience! One suggestion would be that the second swarm of jellyfish seems quite dense and difficult to maneuver for the 3rd encounter, and some ambient sound could improve the experience. Other than that, good job!
I'm interested to play the rest of the game, but it seems I cannot reach the door of the first room, there is an invisible wall blocking me from it. Just letting you know.
Thanks for the feedback @sugarsugarsugar @pseudohausen! I definetly agree that a better tutorial could have improved the experience, its an area that I've never seemed to fully achieve in.
Absolutely amazing atmosphere in this! The low res early playstation vibes im getting totally fit the mood that the story is giving. Personally, I think that the walk speed is just low enough for it to be a bit annoying, especially if you find yourself at a dead end and must go all the way back. There were times when I thought a gate was supposed to open, but when I pressed E nothing happened. Overall though, very solid entry.
Love this one!! The concept of rebuilding your ship mid battle is super innovative. My only current critique is that attaching parts to the ship felt a bit weird some times, with pieces not attaching when they should or attaching in the wrong places. Other than that, super solid entry!
Thanks @westmave! Yes, it’s procedurally generated, and the levels get harder over time.
Overall this was a really solid entry! The concept of an entirely different ecosystem and map is a super cool idea, and I think you executed it quite well. I have a few suggestions: Firstly, I think that the scale of the map is large enough that the details are quite hard to see, because of how tiny everything is. I think a smaller map would solve this. Another small thing is that it took me a while to find the player when the game starts, as they are very small and start at a random position. Starting at the same place every time would prevent this from happening.
