I felt confusing at first and also intro scene was long(would've appreciated the skip button). Good game!
The lore drew me in right away. I love that you put in an intro cutscene! I found the game a little bit difficult to figure out, but I can tell that you put a lot of work into it, and it looks great.
In one word - incredible! The cutscenes, lore, and graphics are perfect. Honestly, I didn't quite get how to complete those little red sword mission, but overall this game deserves to be on Steam after some polish. 😁 Well done kardashim! 👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind words dude, I really appreciate it. ( For the attack minigame: you click spacebar while aiming at them at the exact time when they reach the green circle )
Phenomenal work on the graphics, everything looks so good!
The idea is very unique but takes some time to understand. I spent a run only defending and thought I was doing them perfectly but didn't see the heal skill appear - it was later that I realised the correct timing needed to be earlier (and then even later made the connection that the lights on the arcade cabinet turn on for each perfect performed). Some more guidance there would have been helpful.
The lack of a way to restart was a pain, it's unfortunate that it got bugged as you mentioned in another reply. Hopefully you can fix it in a post jam version.
Once I finally understood (mostly) how everything works, it was a blast to play! I managed to get 4 kills in a run.
Excellent work!
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. It was my biggest fear that if players couldnt understand or get comforrable with the gameplay loop, but I could'nt plan the time good enough to spend a decent amount of time to the tutorial part unfortunately( there are a lot of typos if you noticed since it was all rushed). Im glad you managed to understand all the mechanics and enjoyed the game.
And yes believe me I know that a quick restart is essantial part for a good runner and I was devastated when I found out about the bug after the jam. Endless runners biggest weapon should be replayabilty and It makes a huge disadvatage to restart the game and watch the intro again and etc etc. I will definalitely fix the bug post jam.
Thanks again for the comment and im glad you enjoyed your time.
PS: 4 kills is AMAZING, believe me I would know.
I don't really understand how the game works :/ Even though I read the tutorial
I sorry that I couldnt explain it better in the tutorial, but you basically select your next action by the item you avoid and colect. And by doing so you try to win rthe fight and kill the enemy while keeping as much as your health possible for the next enemy. Thank you for checking the game out anyway
You have cutscenes?!!!! Well made
Thank you so much :))
Really cool idea! I love the custom art and animated intro. It was tricky at first, but it was fun to learn and I really enjoyed the unique mechanic!
Thank you so much, its great to hear that you enjoyed the mechanic.
Nice art and the starting scene.👍 I don’t get what I’m supposed to click when I lose.😅 I keep restarting the game all the time.
there was a death screen normaly :( turns out it got bugged. Normally it shows the ending timer kills and total tamage you did. Im glad you liked it.
Awesome! I can’t imagine the programming behind it 💻, though the story 📖 and animation 🎞️ are just as impressive. Great game! 🎮
Thanks you so much. I just had a 25 hour non sleep marathon at the last day, and hearing that the weird mechanic I tried out gets appreciated makes it feel worth it.
Woah! That was fun to play , it looks great
I appreciate that, thanks.
