Cool art but it was hard for me to figure out how to kill enemies.
The description says that shooting them with the hart should work, but that seems to often not do anything, is there a specific way I should be doing it?
Sorry that it wasn't clear but all you have to do is right click at the enemy itself and quickly follow it with a left click to catch it. You should just practice throwing heart only first and then try to catch it, all outside of combat. Then try your hand at combat.
If you want more updated experience I suggest the downloadable version, it has fixes from all the previous feedbacks.
The main mechanic is super original and fun to use! The art, environments, and music are a really nice touch too! The level was pretty hard for me too, but I still enjoyed dashing around!
Im happy you found it fun, will check others games soon.
I made a fist impressions video on your game. It is pretty cool! I like the mechanic but it was a bit too hard :D
OMG this is so fun to see others playing and actually see their initial reaction, thank you for doing this.
Nice game! Original mechanics and looks good! The controls were pretty hard, until I realized I could use the arrow keys as well.
I like the core idea but I think the stamina regen speed is far too slow and often I feel like I do not have to use the dash. In fact, I didn't use the normal movement with WASD and SPACE until a few minutes in and I liked that a little bit more lol. Nice game, good job!
Ha, ya it looks like stamnina is big problem than I realised but did you mean you like WASD or the dash more.
I liked the dash more. I wonder if it is possible to play with just the dash?
good game but often the teleporting function doesn't work and when you walking but you jump the character doesn't stop
idk is this a function or a bug that you doesn'T stop in the air
Well it's is kind of a function because I did it intentionally without thinking much, I had the basic player control done and i realised the player can just stop moving mid air like they pulled the hand break and i thought you shouldn't be able to do that, so for fun i removed that ability and retained the velocity along x.
Anyways thanks for playing!!
the stamina system is a bit hard though.
hard as in it interferes the combat or is it the waiting?
interferes the combat, It’s hard to determine during combat whether the current stamina is sufficient for the character to teleport.
the idea for controls was very cool, but i think the execution was lacking. maybe a bit more forgiving when reaching your heart or a different behaviour instead of it just falling down? that felt a bit hard to predict for me
Thanks for playing.
I'm not sure, the idea is that you throw and dash in quick succession so that the heart will never fall down at all. you don't have to manually aim or time anything.
Very cool concept! I loved it and how unique it is. It definitely feels nice to dash around and the pixel art is also well done. There is a bug that launches me to the other side of the map in the first level, I don't know what triggers it but I just get launched.
I will say the stamina system definitely feels limiting because I have to wait for it to regenerate, I feel like removing the stamina system might make the game better and feel better and more fast paced, because the movement itself is very fast but the stamina makes you wait which makes it feel super slow.
Other than that feedback, I think this game was really well made and has a lot of potential to be a super fast paced fun action game. Good game jam entry :D
Thank you for playing! And i appreciate all the feedback.
Great game, nice concept, but there is a bug, when i throw the heart in the tutorial it gets stuck on the roof and doesnt fall,.
Thank you for playing! sorry for the bug, you can skip the tutorial, for the rest of the game i should have put a restart button.
Yup I did played the game, it's good 😊.
Try my game too😋
The visuals are pretty nice! I liked playing it, but I did notice that I sometimes died when throwing the heart at a winged enemy and other times didn't. I don't know if this has to do with which part of the enemy the heart touches. I also managed to get the heart stuck in a top corner at the start of the third level, which was pretty fun!
Ah, well glad you enjoyed my game anyways, but did you manage to finish the game though? Was the tutorial and the game puzzels clear?
I had to restart the game due to the heart getting stuck, but I did just a minute ago, and the tutorial and puzzles were clear to understand.
Appreciate all the feedback.
The flying enemy actually doesn't have any collision check, so they are supposed to do that like all the time, as the idea was to make them unavoidable. Beside that all fair, thanks for playing.
