This is a masterpiece. This is perfect and amazing. The mechanics the art the audio everything. This is amazing you guys made it in only a week you guys should make a full game.
Very cool art style and particle effects, they really make the action feel satisfying. The gameplay is fun, and it’s nice to see a boss fight at the end as well. The healing is pretty generous, which helps keep the pace moving. Nice work!
This game is really cool. I really like the graphics and effects. You did a great job with that. The game is fun too. Well done
Everything about this game is well done. Especially the art. The art is so beautiful!
Wow, probably the prettiest game from this game jam that I rated! Very, very pretty, I really liked the final boss! Bravo
Stunning art style. Great music. Shooting feels so good with the juicy sfx and particles. The enemy variety was good -- each enemy required a slightly different strategy from the player. The boss got HARD but I managed to do it with the help of all the health drops :). Well done!
The art and the music are beautiful! The game feels fun to play as well. I wish I could retry the boss fight directly instead of returning to the beginning, I feel like I was very close! Loved it.
I absolutely loved the art it’s so beautiful and well done!
The gameplay was really fun and engaging from start to finish I especially loved Ashley hehe she’s the best😁 the fact that she gives you health is such a great touch and the monster design is seriously amazing it looks so cool and well design
Great job overall👏🔥
The design is magnificent! The game plays well and I liked the spawner mechanics.
Music pretty well suits the gameplay. Terraria vibes.
That's definitely a very solid entry!
Very beautiful game. I liked the variations in monsters, and the boss fight at the end was quite challenging!
The game looks incredible! The particles, the reflection in the water, the lighting. I looks very unique too!
I appricated it was not too difficult, but I think small things can make it more fun - make the coins attract to the player, having clearer crosshair to the mouse, being able to shoot through platforms etc
Great job!
Great job! i love the visuals so match
Thank you!!!!!
Excellent visual and sound design. There’s a lot of little touches that add up to create a really effective ambiance that looks nearly commercial-ready.
Gameplay was solid. I just missed the note in the description that coins are what you need to extend the map so I didn’t know how to proceed at first. An in-game cue for that would be great!
Also, I felt bad every time it looked like I was shooting my wife since she was standing in the way between me and the monsters haha. If you expand on this after the jam, maybe consider having her stand right “behind” the player (opposite the way you’re facing) so she’s not in the line of fire.
Big kudos to your team and best of luck on all future projects!
Thank you!!!!
Beautiful game. Congratulations. It's an excellent prologue to a bigger game. I bet you're working on making it something bigger and more official. It smells like it. I loved it and want to play it when it comes out on Steam.
Thank you!!!
You really captured a nice atmosphere here. It's very cool.
Thank you!!!
Really nice graphics and music.
The first boss was pretty well designed
Thank you!!!
The first 10/10 game for this jam i have seen. Nothing much to say, everything is nearly perfect. The audio, the graphics, the gameplay mechanics, the atmosphere, the feedback. Everything is soooo well executed. The only thing to mention here is probably the balancing of the game. The healing heals quite a lot of HP which makes the game a little bit easier which is perfectly fine as its more approachable for casual gamers like me but prob not those hardcore gamers. Probably you can allow players to choose the difficulty like hollow knight so players themselves can choose the one that suits them the best.
Side note: having the healer keep asking "Need healing?" while the cutscene is playing definitely got me laughing hard as she keeps popping out the healing orb in the middle of the conversation xD.
Anyways, great work! You guys made a very impressive game in such short duration and I personally would love to see this getting updates so i can enjoy more of it xD.
Thank you!!!
what a beautiful game :O so pretty to look at and really fun as well!!
Thank you!!!
Such an enojyable game !
Thank you!!!
i loved it!!! the art style was stunning, like a pixelated hollow knight kind of and the gunplay felt smooth as well! nice job yall
Thank you
