Nice polished experience ! Pretty cohesive on the overall ! Congrats !
Feel free to test our game !
This is the most stressful game in the whole jam. Awesome work. 5*
Phenomenal game! I immediately understood what I need to do, and I think I got what most of the power ups/downs do even without looking on the itch page. The gameplay feels familiar but original - I liked that you have the resources to solve all the problems the maze throws at you, but you need to make decisions on the fly to beat it. Initially I got hammered by the game, but I feel like I improved and was able to beat it on easy and normal - still not on hard though. The monster looks incredible too!
I guess my only complaint is that the balance between player speed and vision and the controls feels a bit off. At first it feels like the trap doors are unavoidable - thep player walks too fast to see them, and the timing of pressing dash is too precise. I also wish I could dash without breaking the walls - it's way too easy to break a wall when you didn't mean it, and if you're stuck in a dead end it can be game over. The player also felt like it's stuck to the wall and in the game like this it doesn't feel good..
Still, this is one of the rare games in game jams that I an totally see developing to a full fledge original game - very well done!
Really like this game! It looks good and the game play is really fun . I think the speed of the monster could be increased a bit though because I felt like even when I was messing up a lot, I didn't really need to worry about them.
The art is very good and the game is very fun as well
