Cool little puzzle game, I felt all the puzzles were relatively straightforward, I felt there were some instances where you would move or teleport into a part of the map full of enemies which would be abit hard to counteract first time round. I couldnt predict what the ogre could deal with at times, it would die to a wizards fireball but not a cannons fireball but these are just little grievances and I enjoyed the game as a whole, along with the high pitched worms like voices.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you didn’t have any trouble with the puzzles, some found them too difficult. The strategy for saving the troll is to feed her all the food you find before sending her into battle. Yes, the screams really sound like worms, I hope that adds a bit of comedy to the game.
Fantastic! I love the combination of discrete logic puzzles with twitchy realtime action. And everything looks and sounds just perfect. Well done!
Did notice one minor bug. In the first half, I think it was the second room with the troll, troll got killed just before the dialogue started, and she spoke a line apparently from beyond the grave. (but no harm done of course)
Thank you very much for the feedback and the bug you found! Although, perhaps this can be considered proof that love is stronger than death. But to be honest, I once again did not have enough time to test and polish everything, and if this is the only issue you encountered, then you are very lucky. Right after the voting ends, I’m going to release an update with bug fixes, improved visuals, and a new npc.
Great little puzzle game. I could see adding way more levels/mechanics to this.
Awesome!
Amazing game! But I was able to complete it only on the third try)
Yep, kinda hard at moment. I have to apologize for the guards, for dodging fireballs and refusing to step on traps. I gave them a dressing down and they promised to improve and behave well after post jam update. Thanks for playing!
Amazing little puzzle game with a cool mix between real time and sokoban turn control timing For a moment I was a confused on the turn vs run controls, which might be the only “pain point” in the game. Rooms were neat, with nice puzzles and timing section, and smells like troll in here will live rent free iu0n our head for a while.
Audio wise we are a tad louder than games should be, but we haven’t reached game jam audio level, which is always neat! Loved the little callouts the guards/wizards did from time to time, and the troll vs guard “rts” subcombat was a good addon.
Graphically the game looked really neat, I loved everything presented here. Super entry!
Thank you for your appreciation and the time spent! I watched your stream, it was incredibly fun. A couple of times there were unexpected situations, but you got out of them with dignity. Glad you liked the graphics, Veksell did a great job. Good thing you didn’t see what it was before she joined.
Jokes on you, I’m active on Discord so saw the programmer art. It had its own charm, I’m always down for programmer art, but indeed Veksell did an amazing job.
Was going to say it reminds me of Mimic Trick and then I saw Veksell worked on that game :)
Very nice presentation, gameplay is clear, visuals are nice, I like how the cannonballs illuminate the ground. There could be a bit more checkpoints, sometimes when you die you go aaaallll the way back, which isn't nice.
As a minor nitpick, the audio shouts of the guards were a bit too loud compared to the music, and the fact that the character doesn't move when you press the button once feels a bit stiff, but it's probably a matter of getting used to it.
Thank you for your valuable comments! I completely agree about the checkpoints. There was no time to add this feature, so I divided large levels into parts, but this is clearly not enough. And I will definitely take into account your nitpicks about the controls when I make a post-jam update.
Super cute!
I really liked the puzzles, dialogue, and difficulty progression!
There was a funny moment my friend was watching me play, and I freed Troll Girl for the first time. When she noticed the fire jar cannon and went to destroy it, she made an exclamation and ran off-screen. My buddy and I went "Oh no", and all we heard was a crunchy sound effect.
We had no idea Troll Girl had destroyed the cannon. We thought she got destroyed the moment we freed her. I was dying with laughter, especially when we went to scope the scene and saw she was still alive.
Troll girl for the win, lol.
Thank you for sharing your impressions! I’m glad that the game generates unexpected funny situations, that’s exactly what I was trying to achieve.
Amazing! Excellent drawing, game design, music! There are even dialogues and humor! My personal top in this jam!
Well done with great audio. Very enjoyable :)
I enjoyed playing this a lot! Gameplay, graphics and audio are all very nice, I have no nitpicks.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Super fun game ! Really clever and looking great. Would have been nice with a couple checkpoints, but that's just because I was bad. I also loved the voices :D
Thanks! As for the checkpoints, that’s right on point. It is extremely sad to start the level over and over again. I realized this too late, and the only thing I managed to do was split some long levels in half.
Absolutely gorgeous graphics. Very fun and well though out game-play. Music and sound was also great, I love the guard saying "who's that."
