This is really impressive! Nice and comfy artstyle, Fairly challenging, and cool to watch characters grow in power as they complete quests. My only issues are that the quests you get seem luck-based in their difficulty, and that it felt like that your character death had no weight as they were immediately replaced by another one.
Definitely a Super Hexagon clone, and a well-made one at that. The game's slower pace and lack of some interface screw elements present in SH make it a more comprehensible one, albeit still difficult due to the larger hitbox and less forgiving walls. All-in-all a good experience.
EDIT: I noticed that even after the game is closed, the process still exists according to Task Manager.
The graphics and gameplay come together to make a short but sweet adventure through the deserted wasteland. The dialogue was amusing, and so was the massive chain of animals I had amassed by the end. Very well done!
The game was alright. Didn't seem to be any sound though, and the lack of transitions into the win and death screens was a bit jarring. I like what you were going for though!
Quite a difficult game, for sure, but I managed to get through. Only complaints I have are that Level 1's first jump seems a tad harder than it should be, and that wall-sliding has no influence on your downwards momentum. I definitely enjoyed playing through the game!
Also, Satan must've known the pain of Buttlumps at some point, because the terms of his deal seem a bit lenient when looking at all the coins scattered around Hell.
I like what the game's trying to accomplish, but it feels extremely slow, and even starts to feel tedious after a couple of minutes. The issue of accidentally dying due to letting your health run into an upgrade box is annoying as well, and the upgrade boxes themselves aren't very descriptive. I can see that there are descriptions for each, but they don't stick around long enough to read through at a decent pace.
It's a decent game, but with some tweaks to the speed and game mechanics it could be a fun little experience.
The game is really well-made, the art style is nice and calm, and there's no real rush to pick the perfect object. Only flaws I could find were the text box having text overlap sometimes and being able to leave objects *above* the room without them falling down. Overall, I liked the game.
@MZA The engine was coded by @kp-cftsz themselves, actually! The engine itself was created before LD44, but the game itself was built upon the custom engine.
@geckoo1337 I'm glad you liked the game! Also, that was indeed me that took first place; I couldn't resist trying.
Game's a little tough to start, but you can definitely get a good defense going up if you know what you're doing. It's pretty good!
