I understand the idea behind the game and its very creative but the bats are just too fast. Nice effects with the bg at menu :)
Visual effects were really nice, although I couldn't figure out how to find and unlock more glyphs, nor how to run away from the bats, because they seemed to move faster than me?
Thank you for your feedback. We intentionally made the bats 0.1 unit faster than the player, though in hindsight that may be an issue early game. I found that it was quite easy to get them hung up on the terrain, then pick away at them.
As for the glyphs, it just comes with time or bosses. I think the exact amount of time is 4 minutes of gameplay for one glyph, but a boss appears at every 150 seconds that also gives one. We definitely will need to lessen the time per glyph next time, but I just eyeballed the time, mainly because that feature was added with less than 10 hours left, and we still needed to add other features.
Could be good, but the game is impossible to play. Countdown is too long, bats are too fast, it's hard to dodge them
It's too bad, feels like some kind of bullet hell which could be fun, but it just seems impossible to beat
Yeah, that does turn into an issue. With how we organized the game, the main goal is to just survive until you get a new ability, but I understand how it could be hard in the beginning. We'll try to lessen the starting difficulty when we make a full version. Thank you for your feedback though!
i love the parallax effect from the title scene :) the game itself was a bit confusing to me but after a few tries i managed to shoot a couple of bats, running away from them until the time came! it's great that youo managed to submit the game in the end, congrats!
Thank you for your feedback! We were a bit rushed, so we didn't get to make a real tutorial 😭
