I've been excited to play this one for a while, just was waiting to find the time to give it, turns out it was quite short anyway! (That's not a criticism)..

I think you guys killed it for a month, you should be very proud of yourselves, and the OC and enemy designs are really nice, I could honestly see this evolving into something special, if you went in that direction.

The only thing I felt it missed was some music, maybe audio queues for attacks, I'm guessing you didn't include because you wanted the end product to be exclusively your own, and if that is the case I respect that. I feel like throwing some unlicensed music in there would have done more good than bad however.

Well done team.

Amazing art style and shader, and nice idea with the comics!

Is there audio? I couldn't hear anything 😕

Unfortunately, can't say the same about the gameplay:

• movement feels way too floaty,
• no feedback on hits,
• no death (stuck at 0 hp),
• takes way too long to shoot (it could be a non-instant kill to balance it)
• It feels weird for a humanoid to move so fast and not even looking forward, but backwards, and even crab-style

I think this was just too much for the 30-day, try limiting your scope so that it fits what you're best at 🙂🙂

I loved the art style and toon style shader, and I could see the intent here.

I think there are a few little things that could improve the experience significantly…

First, I think the sword should be much longer, at least twice as long as it’s current length. Additionally, swinging the sword should move you toward where you are swinging, and the sword swinging should be much faster. It should feel very crisp and aggressive.

Second, the gun aiming should be near instant, allowing rapid fire. Weaken the gun / crossbow to do less damage, but make it much faster. At present aiming takes a long time, and any hits put you into a lengthy dizzy animation. Instead, aiming should be fast and firing quick, being hit should knock you back rather than an in place dizzying animation.

The dash feels great, but it feels out of place compared to the slightly slow and clunky combat. If all the elements felt as crisp as the dash, the game would play significantly smoother.

Finally, some effects (both sound and visual) to increase the crunchiness of the combat feel, and some background music, would make this experience feel exponentially more immersive.

I think those changes would give the combat that this art style deserves. The game looks fascinating, and I loved the “cinematic” shown in comic panel style, I think this game would shine if the combat was polished to the same degree as the art.

Great work!

Gave it a shake. Fantastic art really pretty and stylish I loved everything about the art. Also the little pop up animations were cute. The movement felt aight. The run was good the dash was solid. But something about the camera follow was unsmooth or overly locked and it caused some pretty bad edge stuttering especially if dashing backwards. (could be unreal issue tho) The hit animation was nice but the hit box was weird (felt like it tracked the sword instead of player direction) and a little hard to read. I mostly just used dashing back and shooting. I actually really liked the mechanic of the crossbow and used that way more than the sword. The crossbow looked and felt really good and had a good balance of risk and reward in it's usage I'd say lean into those instincts, risk reward, clear aiming etc.  Sound was a little  underdeveloped but what was there was good. The  enemies were real cool. Overall this is such a visually striking game and a lot elements come together nicely.

It has already been said but those visuals are STELLAR !! Very eye catching, works well in-game and the colour palette is vibrant. Great job !!

The game had one of the best graphics in the whole jam, but the mechanics and movement felt a bit rough, I'd recommend redoing the movement and attacking, as it did not feel good to play with, but it was more then solid for a game jam.

Visuals are very nice
