Your game was super awesome! Amazing visuals and gameplay. It's super cool that you got a working boss fight made in just a week

Developer

Thanks, the boss fight is not that complicated, he just flies around and summons lightning and minion that why I could make it in time

It looked great - good job! Loved the art and the VFX, and the shooting felt satisfying. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much!!

The visuals are great, I have no idea how you make it look that good

The enemies keep spawning at the start point, is not a good thing, as it wasn't clear the player needed to go further. I thought it was some kind of roguelike with upgrades at first. Also, the boss fight seems hard because it's almost impossible to dodge some attacks, but it's actually easy because of the amount of healing you receive. Aiming at basic enemies is hard, though, as your bullet is so thin

Developer

Thanks, the visuals are mostly the work of shaders, lighting, and post-processing.

A bit hectic during the boss fight, but felt nice to play and looked great! Having the mouse pan around a bit on the main menu and ending was rather neat. 

Developer

Thank you!!!

the art is stunning and the music is so peaceful, great work! I like the premise and the mechanics were lovely in their simplicity. I found myself backtracking a lot to progress, maybe a few more monsters on the road to the boss would help with that. the boss battle was intense! would love to see a boss health bar to gauge progress. well done!

Developer

Thank you!!!

I saved my waifu from death itself — I at least deserve a dinner. I didn’t expect a game here to have such an interesting boss battle. It took me some time to understand that money builds the bridge.Overall, the game feel was great. The only enemy I really hated was the green one — it just hides like a coward.

Developer

Thanks, I would say that the building bridges mechanic still needs more improvement, but I don't have any good ideas on how to fix it right now

Submitted(+2)

this is probably the best game i've seen yet

Developer

Thank you

Submitted(+2)

visually its stunning. good controlls and satisfying gunplay, crunchy sound effects all good! Whats the gold for? I saw a ferryman but nothing to spend my hard earned gold coins. i also get some blood borne vibes. generally a solid piece!

Developer

Thank you! 
The gold is for building bridges. I should add more things to buy, maybe I should do that next update

Submitted(+2)

Ok, I will admit, I wasnt expecting to be hooked into this as much as I did... The gun shot feedback is incredibly good and responsive, the concept of bridge being constructed by my action is such a cool idea!!! Well done.. the visuals and vibe is great!

Developer

Thanks, I just played your game a moment ago.

Absolute Cinema🔥

Developer

Thanks

Beautiful game, ui, art and music on point, didn't understand at first that I was building a bridge lmao but it's because I didn't read... Game was fun, if i had to say something it is on the difficulty, I found it quite easy tbf. Anyway, well done ! 

Developer

Thanks, I would want to make it more difficult, but it's a game jam, and I don't think  I should make it harder, even though I can

Developer

Come to think of it, I could just add a hard mode, maybe next time, then

Submitted(+1)

Yes, especially when most people doing game jam are not necessarily hardcore gamers or fans of difficult games, I understand the choice as well.

Looks beautiful and plays really well. I'm not much of a platformer though.

Developer

Thank you

Really enjoyed playing this, but enjoyed looking at it even more - artstyle is gorgeous! Congrats, really great game :)

Developer(+1)
