Theme Interpretation
In Wraithborn, Journey is not a physical voyage, it is an internal one. You play as a soul suspended between life and death, traveling through three dream-realms born from your own fractured mind. Each world is a piece of your lost identity — childhood innocence, emotional isolation, and buried regret. The world order randomises because memory is non-linear; your mind surfaces what it must, when it must. Collecting memory fragments reconstructs your identity piece by piece. The journey ends when you remember everything.

Cool concept with an intriguing story. Well done on completing something so complex for your first jam. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Collisions were a bit odd, too large maybe - a good rule of thumb is to make the ones the player needs to avoid smaller than they look (so the flower/tree/enemy) and the ones they want to hit larger than they appear (powerups). Not sure if there was something else I was doing wrong but I could only get the power up the 0 key (black hole circle attack) to work. It looked nice and was pretty powerful so well done. I was able to spam it to kill the enemies very quickly so maybe it should have a cooldown before it can be used again.
Thank you so much for the review and tips! (^^)
nice but a bit rough, apart from filter settings (that’s already been pointed out in the comments), a tip I have is that you can go to
project settings->general->display->window->stretchand set
modetoviewport, that way when a player scales the window, everything will stretch to take up the same % of screen space. currently the bigger monitor you have, the more you see (and resizing the window breaks the intro sequence).I died a few times because I kept running into enemies because I forgot I couldn’t run straight up or down :c
still, It’s a nice concept, and it can be enjoyable, congrats on getting a game delivered!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the advice :)
Would love to play, but your Linux build is 0 Bytes, so I cannot download.
Thanks for letting me know :)
Did you try the web version? https://anisha11.itch.io/wraithborn-web
The intro story about what a journey is intrigued me, but the graphics and the combat were kinda rough. A tip for pixel art is that in godot you can search up the "filter" setting and make it "nearest", then the pixels don't look blurry like in the game. I can see a lot of ambition in the game, although I feel like you may have used AI while making it? At least the theme text seems generated.
Thanks a lot for the review and tips, I really appreciate it! This was my first attempt at combat game so there's definitely a lot to refine, I'll try setting the filter to nearest like you said. I'm using external assets from itchio and as I was working on the programing side alone, I rushed the opening scene text last min. I wanted to keep it short and to the point so as to not bore players but it came off a bit flat and unnatural. I'll take a second look to make it more natural.
Also, the project is open source, feel free to check it out ( it's a bit of a spaghetti code though so I'm not sure it's very readable :') )
