nice little game, hope to see it expand!
This one is great. Very simple but a great idea that fits the topic perfectly. You probably thought of that but maybe 3 rows would be better(since there is still place on the screen for it) and maybe the other letters of alphabet? Sings and symbols as @(*$#! could be power ups if it needed spicing things up. Anyway, I had fun, it's solid and a clever idea.
Pretty cool. The subtitles were tough to read and rough for the eye sadly. I like the concept and it was nicely executed. The graphics are nice though some stuff is hard to be seen. I was doing well but soon encountered a group of 4 strong guys. I lost, I guess I should have made more blood sacrifice to get better spells? Anyway it was a bit rough to control but a very nice game!
This game was fun. It looks quite nice. I like the theme, especially the cultists with the plague doctors' masks. What to improve on?
- The controls
I was okay with clicking to move but I hated that on each click my character was deselected. If the character stayed selected it would be perfect. I also liked the slowing of time on character.
- Kiting
I was able to just run around and kite the monsters not caring for the church which took away from the narrative that I should be defending it. I'd recommend adding a poisonous cloud since we have plague doctors. The farther they are from the church the more poison/plague. They can survive in it for a while but not long. This way you could force players to defend the church
- Weapons
I got to the flamethrower and I have to say it was a downgrade from the repeator crossbow since with the crossbow you could shoot while running while with the flames you had to stop, meaning I downgraded instead of upgrading.
Overall this was a fun experience and with nice setting. A project worth polishing up with those little things.
Visually and storywise complete game. Enjoyable to play and pleasant to look at. The dialog is nice and witty. The only thing missing is a progress bar towards the other planet. Gameplay wise it's somewhat like reigns but in a cool space setting. Impressive amount of work done for two people. Good job guys!
Well this was amazing! From the start the artstyle really stood out. It was just not another pixel art, it was something new. It created the mood from the get go along with perfectly fitting music. This was a great little short story and I'm really impressed you guys managed to create it in such a short time. I liked the dialog and the characters. The idea of donating blood and the blood containers was a really smart way to use the theme. I liked the grave puzzle, neat little thing. The only thing I was lacking was some challenge and bigger climax, maybe the boss should've been at the end with a little more difficulty.
Overall projects like yours inspire me to put my best into future efforts. If you were to do a full feature of this world I would surely buy it.
This is a great game! Looks amazing, especially the cutscenes. The story is simple but uncommon and intriguing. Gameplay is challenging but fun. The only problem is that the character sometimes can't fit into a narrow hallway and you get stuck, which is really frustrating. Other than that I loved playing it. Sound is sparse, but the effects fit. Only thing I'd add is some ambient or soundtrack for the mood. This is the best game I've ever seen on a jam.
Kind of similar to our theme but more horror and definitely with more polish. The horror aspect came as a surprise and it was shocking but gooood! The levels were difficult but doable with little mechanics the timing came out to be just perfect to cover for that. Even though it's a joke about games it left a strong impact. The sounds, the screen changes, they were perfect. Engaging, heartbreaking, brutal, with nudity, like a good HBO series. Applause!
Pleasant, satisfying, tactile, interesting. The world is beautiful and encourages exploring. I've seen Moonstones, Pyramids, European architecture, Frozen tribes and even Rainbow Islands. Growing powerful was very satisfying but sadly the ship did not grow with the power we gained which was tiny bit disappointing. The size of the ship could've been connected to capacity. At the end there I had a thousand people on my little boaty. If you add a goal you may have an amazing game for pc or smartphones. Visually I disliked the rough edge on the circle I'd have preferred a smooth gradient to white. Overall it was a great experience and after a while even though the boat sometimes swirled around weirdly it was controllable and pleasant to wander around.
I got fired but it was very fun! The characters seemed quite interesting. Some of them were hard to read but with some more focus definitely solvable. I liked that there was two way mechanic, first get to know them and open the door then you can guess what they want. The art is also nice, simple and fitting the story. I especially liked the boss and there was some nice humor too!
Looks great but lacks gameplay. I liked that to decide you had to hold down the button instead of just pressing but after a while it seemed like it didn't matter who I killed. There was no significant change for me as a player or for the village. The bars just kept going up and up. I very much like the concept and the atmosphere but it needs some more content to engage the player more.
Impressive amount of work done. Fighting mechanic is easy to grasp and enjoyable but kind of too easy. I like the story aspect a lot and the customization. It's the little things that count here. The puzzles and amount of levels was also great. There were just a couple but this is one of them - games that are not just jam games but full fledged ones. Oh and the edges were a bit too punishing. Overall a great game with very little flaws.
That was a pretty cool game. It seemed difficult at the start but then I learned a bit and adjusted but it still provided a challenge. Maybe I didn't go far enough but at some point I was left with little to bet with and with no way to regain hp.
Really cool game. Everything seems on point but the balance of getting new hearts is a bit harsh and the better weapons don't seem to be that much better. But I liked that there is plenty to choose from, there different types of enemies. The movement is nice and fluid but at some point there was nothing to be curious about. Anyway very nice entry!
Pretty fun little game. I like that the drops gravitate towards you. It was kind of difficult. It could use less enemies but with like 1-2 more different kinds.
At time cannot sharpen things I don't know why. I would also add give shield. It's definitely too difficult otherwise. I wish switching weapons and sharpening them was working better because this is a cool concept.
Nice! Cooler than expected. I like that I could win. I really like the portrait graphic and the credits screen. There was too little enemies to really ever use the aoe attack. Plus I wish each type of enemy was more different. Also attacking from the side didn't always register which was sometimes frustrating. But I loved how the enemy at times decided to ignore me and went for the base. I'd love this game with for example a whole village and villagers to defend for more drama. The pickup sound was very satisfying! Music was also very nice.
Quite enjoyable. Papers please placed in a different world with slightly different goals. It fits very well. Audio and graphics also sell this world perfectly. I think there was a touch bit too much of screen shake. I liked the dog level :dog: :D Sadly after a bit it got dull since I had plenty of cash and could just decline surgeries. I think there should be a bigger limit on the declines. Also I'd lower the needed cash amount or increase the pay along with the risk since there was little tension for the most part. You could also add some more elements to study for decisions and to slow down the gameplay. Overall good idea, fun but too little tension.
Enjoyable aesthetic, good idea, quite some content. I'd say it would've been better if you could do all the controls with keyboard instead of some with the mouse, since they are just button choices. Also a use of the whole keyboard for the fight would've been more interesting since you could use both hands then. Overall very well put together, congrats.
Really cool and challenging idea. I hoped that on impact with the environment you can destroy your ship. Some enemies are hard to kill when they just appear out of nowhere and one shot you. Definitely more fun when i had 3 batteries!
Looks quite nice though not all of the art fits together. I really like the idea of you gathering souls, though I'd rather fight some real beings with souls than blobs. I got stuck quite a bit of times and finally once I got into it getting some strength and life after farming souls i got bounced out of the play zone and was stuck once more. This is hard to overlook since I don't understand the whole bouncing mechanic. Other than that it could be a nice little game. I dunno if there was much content behind the portal cause I couldn't get into it because I got stuck a bunch of times during gathering the souls.
@artur-majewski We would love to, but the project got stuck. It's still on the table to be finished and all of the before mentioned improvements are something we had in mind. I'll make sure to post it here when we pull through!
