game art looks pretty badass, the choice of colors lends well to the games vibe while still remaining readable. game cover art is really well done, but the game page ... not so much.
a hack and slash masked as a rhythm game, I'd say passable... but it could have felt more impactful to matching the beat and music. as it is, its a very nice and simple arcade game; doesnt feel much as a rhythm game though.
weird bug when I first started playing, and a couple time during gameplay... the game just refuses to allow me to press any keys or the player just freezes, so I just got stuck figuring out why the game wasn't ... gaming.
You totally nailed the art style, very original and well made ! Game was really hard with my poor rythm but based on visuals i managed to kill some of the monsters. Maybe one or two lifes would have been more fun for me.
my high score is 47 XD
a bit hard to understand when to press at first
but after I realized I need to wait until they start to blink, I managed to get some progress XD
really fun and nice BGM XD
but I think red and black seems hard to see(?)
maybe it's just me
very difficult and fun, unfortunately the red color weighs a little on the vision but the game is still fun and very beautiful
The game starts off great – the graphics, the music, everything is awesome! It's simply fun to play.
The music gets a little repetitive, but I love the art, and the gameplay is really fun
Incredible atmosphere created by a strong theme, great art and epic music. I really wanted to slash some foes and atone for my sins, but the game seems impossibly difficult to play or I’m missing something ^^
Thank you!! I really wish I had more time to make a real tutorial but alas... :(
Great atmosphere! I really love the graphics and the music!
Great intro and epic music creates a really cool atmosphere! Clean mechanics and love the leaderboard! Just curious, how did you implement that?
I think this is a hard skill issue, but I would personally love the visual indicator for the beat to be a bit more prevalent. I tried dozens of times and really struggled to get it down.
I also ran into a bug where I started the game with 0 stamina if I pressed buttons while resetting., and sometimes the animation would get stuck and unable to make any actions. Also a bit of a nitpick, the death/slash sound is reaally loud
Thanks for the feedback! My partner set up the leaderboard using some leaderboard api. I can definitely extend the enemy’s red flash indicator. It’s only 1frame so it’s easy to miss but I’ve found once u get it u get it. And that last part is known we just didn’t have time to fix it lol
Overall great job! Yeah I didn't notice the flash so that would probably be helpful! Also, do you mind asking your partner what the API was called?
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Here is a link to the itch page for it, comes with a unity package you can install. https://danqzq.itch.io/leaderboard-creator
So the music fucks, and the graphics fuck, and I love that you built a leaderboard. This is like the game a metalhead with a dirtbike would have programmed on Commodore 64 in middle school. The health bar doesn't seem to do anything, since the game ends in one hit. Really enjoyed this.
That’s such a great compliment thank you dude! It’s actually the stamina bar and it drains from missing attacks, but it’s not very obvious lol
Hard (for me at least), but feels epic, with the combination of music and graphics.
It makes me want to give it another go.
Nicely done.
Give it 20 more goes.. heck make it 21
I love the vibes in this game, great work on it! A feedback is that I wish resetting was a little faster when I die :D
yeah I totally agree man, wish I could edit the build but unfortunately can’t
saw the posts of this in the discord when it was being developed! the aesthetic and vibes are peak, love how the creatures look. i was able to play off the visual cues of the creatures attacking pretty easily, but it felt like it wasn't syncing with the music?
There is a small chance that game would be
a) interesting and
b) beautiful
You nailed both of those!
It looks incredible and “ATONE” is a really good fit for the theme. A lil’ hard for me though and sometimes I get the feeling it’s not sync
I'm not sure if it's intended, but it was a bit confusing to have to slay the monsters at the up beat instead of the down beat. Perhaps it's just a delay caused by the web build. Nevertheless, the music was really good and the art was great, I especially loved your choice of colors - it sets the atmosphere perfectly.
Nice game! However, mechanic did not work that well me that good. Died even though I hit the creature(s). Still, theme fits perfectly, music and art style are also very good! Very good job!
Dang I suck LOL. Incredible art tho dude holy crap. The way you stiched the colors together to make the background was super great and almost had me wondering if it really was 2 colors LOL.
Thanks man! That means so much to me to hear. Dude your game's animation was prbly the best I've seen yet. I want to be able to animate that well.
Pretty cool game! Cover art just instantly draws you in. Intro sets the scene pretty well, all the animations I thought were really well-made. Landing a well-timed hit is very satisfying and it's very tempting to try and go for a high score. Music was good but I think it could be better. Overall, great game, this is the Dark Souls of rhythm games.
That was an incredibly nice comment. Means a lot to me. glad to hear it.
Yeah, of course!
Side note: one of my friends who helped me on my game got #1 on the leaderboard for this game LOL
I saw that. Honestly idk if I can top that. I didn’t think I could be beaten ngl
Damn the art is just so good, other that I am bad at it is a very polished game.
