VERY Cool game! unique art style and the MUSIC SI SO FIRE!
Thank you so much for trying my game, the artists and composers put in a lot of love and it shows!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Very grateful to have talented artists and musicians collaborate with us on the project!
Very cool, the Z Grapple effect feels very good and it took me a few (7?) seconds to figure out the movement but it was worth it
Thank you so much for trying my game, and I'm glad you had a good time with it. The grapple thing was really cool and I was pretty happy with how the controls felt despite the short amount of time I actually had to work on movement haha.
Very cool game. I like the juggle mechanic. The artwork is amazing.
Thank you for trying my game and I'm glad you had a good time! The artists put in a lot of time and effort and it shows, and I'm very grateful for their efforts!
RAHHHH! Sorry for this slight swear, but this is the most bad@ass I've felt in a while. LOVE this game. The music rocks. The cloud effect is mesmerizing, how did you achieve that? Great job!! The polish is incredible. I even love the little story texts for the titles of each of the levels. That's taste.
Consider trying my game as well! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for playing my game, and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! The cloud effect is a built in GameMaker Layer effect called "clouds" which looks shockingly good for such a simple to implement thing. The background also had clouds in it which appear to be moving because of another built in GameMaker layer effect called "Heat Wave". I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience!
cool game, nice twist with the vertical wall running, wish I had more weapons or moves I could do
Thank you for trying my game! If I had more time I definitely would have improved the move set! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really good game. The difficulty curve is nice, and I really enjoyed stabbing a clock until it gave up.
Yay! Thank you for playing my game and I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience!
fun! took me a minute to get used to the controls but i loved the soundtrack and overall idea. good work!
Thank you so much and I'm glad you had fun!
This was a lot of fun! Really great visuals, loved the music, writing is fantastic - wish I didn't suck at the game as much so I could see more!
Haha thank you so much! I'm glad you had a good time despite the game's extremely high and unfair difficulty, I will upload a full playthrough of the game later today so you can experience the later levels. Thank you again!
Cool game! Background art is very pretty, and the concept is quite unique.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
I really liked the concept! I liked the music, and it gets harder and harder as you move on.
The only thing that didn't sit with me was that the font and colors made it a bit annoying to read, so maybe it didn't match the background color, but aesthetically I liked it :)
Thank you for your feedback! I can see now that the font was an issue for multiple people, I didn't give enough consideration to accessibility vs style on that one and will learn from that in the future. I'm glad you enjoyed the game despite the issues!!
Pretty cool concept and I managed to get to level 5 before decided to stop. But later levels there are just too much going on screen, wherefrom it got real spammy and you need a bit of luck to land the hits sometimes since the controls are not so precise.
Pretty cool background art but quite a mismatch of different so it does look odd here and there. Great use of soundtracks, there are certain level of polishing between the levels as well.
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you gave the game a shot! I agree that the boss fight became unfair at a certain point, I just wanted the game to give even me a challenge when I was playing it haha.
love it
love it
Thank you!!!
Love the gameplay and how you get more time to live
Thank you for playing my game and I'm glad you liked the idea!
Amazing music and great background art. Gameplay was a big frustrating but it was worth it to listen to each level theme.
Haha, I agree that the gameplay is unfair at times, especially in the later levels, If I had more time I would have made more fair, and interesting boss attack patterns! I'm glad you had a good time with the game despite that though!
Oh my god that was so cool and BEAUTIFUL that parallel background and animation. I LOVE the colors and I have honestly never thought sideways before hahahaha. Well done!!! I also like the premise and how it changes colors and things as you go deeper in level.
Thank you so much! The color changes were a last minute addition using built in GameMaker Filter effects to change the hue of all the colors on screen, its a simple effect but helps a lot to keep the game feeling dynamic, the background took Frost Nova a looong time but it paid off tremendously! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience.
Wow simple you say but it totally works. So cool!
Happy to hear you liked my art! The background and cutscenes took many hours but it was sooo worth it to see it in the final game!
Yeah I bet!! art is SO much work but when it all comes together its really great!! Well done!
Awesome art and music! The camera movement is a really nice touch. I loooooved the grappling hook!
Thank you so much! The artists and composers went super hard and I am super grateful to all of them, the grappling hook was one of the first things I added, and I was happy with it too!
Cool story! The artwork, camera shake, and speed makes it very immersive. At first I was really panicking out there. I think I got the hang of it though. Good work.
Thank you! our writer did a good job! And yeah I spent a lot of time on the effects to try and sell the falling effect! Glad you had fun!
Fun narrative idea (I love the visual of a guy running down a vertical wall brazenly swinging his sword), but I got bored of the gameplay by the 3rd level. There didn't seem to be much strategy to it besides floating over to the enemy and spamming the attack button.
thank you for trying my game! I considered making the combat more interesting, but decided that it was better to keep the player mechanics simple, if I had more time I might have introduced combos, and better Boss attack patterns.
nice artwork and music
thank you so much!
