I'm not sure how to put it, but the game looks incredibly professional. I won't even mention the design, it's truly legendary. The gameplay is quite learnable, no problems, the mechanics are great. The game is incredibly polished, everything looks great. I really liked it, well done!
Awesome game! The art is stunning, and the battle mechanics are interesting! The objective is pretty clear, and it doesn't take long to understand how to play, which is great. Congrats on the submission!
The presentation is top notch! Plus there's a great vibe. Having a bird in space next to a blackhole is pretty damn cool ahah. However, the gameplay controls looking like a turn based game but then making it realtime is really hard to learn. I think not having to navigate in menus would benefit the game. Congratz on making it!
Music, artwork, combat, everything it's just amazing!
The art in this blows me away!
Thank you so much!
This was absolutely stunning all around, the presentation really blew me away but the game itself is super well put together too! Multiple control schemes are also always appreciated, phenomenal work everyone involved!
Muito maneiro!!! parabéns!!!
The pixel art is phenomenal! I think I'm still getting used to the gameplay but I think it would be nice if defending a particular direction allows you to press a directional key instead of selecting it from a list of choices. But I had fun. Now, I await Abraxas' return.
The battle was intense, and I like the setting and visuals. Good jam game.
Great game with polish and clear direction. I would be extremely happy if i were you guys!
That is a very good game, the combat is engaging, the defence system is very cool ! I couldn't beat it because I suck, but I had a lot of fun !
I wish I had this art skills. The fight is very fun
Wow didn’t expect a whole badass boss fight!! Took a bit to catch it wan’t a turn based battle but very enjoyable!! I really liked the pixel art and sound effects, nice work!
Gundam, Space, and dragrons the trifecta of my interests! sign me up!
Wow, this game is really good. I loved the combat style and the art! Congrats!
Took me a few tries to figure out what the combat expected of me and I got walloped, but the vibes are immaculate! Truly some of the nicest pixel art I've seen. :)
Super fun combat that demands speed and coordination. Loved the JRPG final boss vibe. Had a great time with it!
The combat system isn't super intuitive but after you learn it the game is very fun
Feedback first:
- The alarm sound is a bit overwhelming, cutting it down a few pitch steps and volume could make it less shrilling
- It took me a good minute to understand de direction of the defense needed
- This might be me being bad at reaction time, but I couldn't go far chaining actions to survive enough
Aside from that this is awesome, I love that you went for one level with all the love poured in, it makes a lot of sense for a jam and it pays off.
Thanks for playing! The audio feedback is greatly appreciated.
The game's pixel art and color palette is top tier, i absolutely loved it! the ui fits the theme perfectly and the attacks look cool as hell. I've dabbled in pixel art when i was little, but this makes me want to pick up aseprite again. I had an issue with having to navigate with arrows or wasd/q+e to actually select the player's actions instead of mouse, especially under such a strict countdown. I believe with a mouse it would've been better (at least for me), but i think using keyboard was a deliberate choice by the devs? Also guessing the Abraxas' attack direction was pretty difficult to read especially when you're navigating menus quickly. Nevertheless, the game is very well done and great job!
