I enjoyed playing this game and really liked the concept. Good job!
A nice game for the jam! I like the art and the audio. The directions kept changing so it was hard to read the UI at times. Other than that, it is a nice game idea. With some tweaks and polish you can definitely try for a commercial release! Good work!
The movements made me dizzy quite fast ^^'
However, the concept of moving with this restricted field of view is very nice, and the animation goes with it too!
Maybe it could be nice to have some kind of compass, to know you can go beyond the dark to find food/enemies ect..
Because otherwise we move without a destination in the hope of finding what we are looking for, but that is also part of the dramaticness of the game, so i would see why it's like this ^^
Very clean and polished experience, well done!
Really fun and feels really polished, well done! It would be nice if the how to play menu had images of like which thing give you which resource, as I found a bit difficult to figure out whilst playing. But still really good work, well done!
Your visual and audio design was really good :)
Gameplay was well made too but the controls were a bit hard in terms of direction! Isometric top down left and right breaks my brain sorry xD But anyway you both did really good!
PS. Azuria123 since your a husband wife team if you want the games to show up in your profiles Dashboard too just go to your dashboard and in the top left press edit theme.. A window pops up and you can enable visibility for games you have worked on!
Thank you so much omg I had no idea how to do this ahahaha, I've managed to update my profile now thank you so much <3
I think the controls in flame bearer has been quite divisive so its something we absolutely want to work on :)
Thanks so much for the kind review and help!
Haha no worries!
All you bith have to di is mayne just make a toggle option so the camera can be either isometric or top down 😊
I like this balancing of 3 resources. The only thing is that contolls feels a little bit off at the start but after 2-3 runs it's okay
I love the concept and artstyle, but I think the controls are a bit confusing. I think using a different camera angle could have made moving around more intuitive.
This was a bit hard to get into, but I liked the vibe. I wanted a 90 degrees rotates orientation for wasd, so that fried my brain a bit. It felt pretty random and fumbling around a lot at the start. It would be good if there were more clues as to where the next resource you wanted was.
Nice game.
Fun concept and gameplay! Enjoyed how well each attribute is considered, and made for a fun game
Nice clean execution and well polished!
really cool idea also the art style it's really gorgeus, it isn't a simple game, yopu have to pay attention to different things. i really liked it.
Love the music, art, and game play! Really amazing combination.
Controls seem a bit confused to me until I saw the WASD on 4 directions. It's a bit unintuitive.
Yellow and orange items are kinds of difficult to distinguish in the beginning.
Overall, really coherence and polished game!
Beautiful game!! I love how satisfying all of the animations are. Movement is fluid. I thought WASD worked quite well as an input. The music is very calming. I like how it's procedural. I love that there's a "lore" button! Super polished game, and inspiring that you made it in just 4 days.
I like the idea. Its great to see some 3d games as well. Nice contribution!
It's a really good game, but WASD might not be the best controller for this perspective.
Very cool game, I really like the gameplay loop and seeing how long i could survive and the upgrades when i killed enough slimes was a really nice touch. The cool effect on the border tiles were very well made, great job making it!
I also think that the lore was pretty epic.
Really interesting game and mechanics! Love the style too
Nice work! Liked the concept
Took a few tries to get a "good run going", but once you get into the flow it's really fun. Nice little concept. There's not a TON of strategy in it, but just enough. Good visual package & decent music. A+. Rated highly! Great job!
Took me a second to wrap my head around the directions, but otherwise very nice little dungeon crawler!
