Saw your game on the haxe discord and decided to try it out to see how a haxe game performs! I really like this visual novel approach, quite pleasent to play if you don't look at the meaning of it. Really well done and quite unpleasent (content wise) which is good just to make it clear.
I actually pushed down to Mine 12 but then run out of motivation. But this game is actually way more fun then I thought, simply because number goes up = nice. Some sound, better visuals and maybe some variety, more upgrades and you got a great game here. Also being able to hold down the upgrade button would be great, because at some point it took some time and many clicks to spent my money. Well done, had fun!
While ambitious as you already stated it is a great game for such a small time frame. For me everything worked quite nice and flowed well. Great job, had a fun time with the game!
Such a lovely game with perfect execution for just 48 hours. Amazing!
Great game, fun mechanics and rewarding. One minor thing to add: I personally did not like the water section because it took away of the jumping mechanic you learned on the way there. Otherwise really awesome game. Even found a shortcut one could take at around 1200m.
@lightningst For me the water section was fine difficulty wise except the part where you maneuver through the spikes above and below you, however this is prob a skill issue on my side. In my opinion it was just the part of not using the thought through jump mechanic but instead a simple "hold space to float" one. This compared to the details you need to worry about when jumping (sliding off, carry momentum etc.) is lost in there and thus feels not rewarding. But because the section is short and not too hard it is indeed a nice change of pace and can be seen as a break between the halfes so it is by no means right out bad or something!
Awesome game, love the look and feel. Kinda skill issue probably but it is kind of hard straight up diving for fish. Though it remains one of the best games I've played this jam so far, amazing job!
At the first the game was kinda clunky but eventually I got the hang of it, though I did not finish it because it got a little too frustrating in terms of fighting. However the platforming was fun and I tried to get as fast as possible dodging enemies then fighting them. Also some nice speedrun mechanics are there, like no fall damage on attack in the air and also skipping like 3 levels on the first jump that has no fall damage. Great job so such a short time frame and the first time doing it in 2d!
Great polish! Loving the fact the time breathing out is enough upgrade so you never miss a cycle. Awesome entry.
What lovely and delightful game to play! Great audio and visuals, gameplay was innovative and fun to play. Great job!
Great puzzle mystery game! The statue puzzle was my favorite because it had a logic in it. With some more music, sound effects when something was solved and some backstory this game would be a great mystery puzzle. Normally I don't play these type of games but it was a great jam game. Really enjoyed my time with it.
Lovely game you made here! The atmosphere was great and was one of the best theme mood games I've played so far.
Some upgrade after X floors and a little faster progression and you really have a solid dungeon crawler roguelike here! Had so much fun playing and I love when there are spoken SFX haha. Music was also great and cool to hear that it gets faster the deeper you go. Great work!
Awesome game, love me some boomer shooter. Great music too! Would also agree that it is a little bit too easy but that for sure does not stop it from being fun. Well done!
Awesome game, loving highscore games and seeing a similar vibe to mine! Had fun with it and I liked the sounds, however the game broke at one point. At like 180 banished I took damage to nearly die. After that no evil spirits spawned anymore. Anyway the graphis are awesome, great game you made here in 48 hours!
Super cool and fun game, would have loved to have somem more levels to play. Really nothing to complain about, nice polish and good sfx. Sure some music would be great but as a non musician myself I know it is super difficult within this time span! Great job.
Made it in my first attempt, got lucky and had no baby for a long time. Great game! Some things like a lower volume for the release jingle and text gets overlapped by the progress bar are an easy fix which makes a really fun game to play. Really enjoined my time with it.
Awesome music and overall sound design. Some feedback on actins would be great (for example mining) beside the sfx. Otherwise I really liked the gameplay and had fun playing the game! Well done.
Loved the strange aesthetics and mood. Gameplay is more on the simple side but I still had fun going through the levels! Well done.
@lightningst 4000m is great! I only broke the game once and got to like 10.000m but 4000m is the great and the score I got the most when testing. What exactly do mean by cursor gets stuck? It is intented that you can´t shoot while jumping but you should be able to aim.
@dnp Thank you! Yes a progress bar or counter for the kills was something I had in mind, just no time left for it. For the difficulty I am fully with you. It was really hard to balance the game, because when you get the upgrades the game will flow quite different and really gets easier as it should be. But the start is still too rough, think I am gonna reduce the max enemies in the beginning to even this out.
