Your game is fluid and responsive, has nice graphics and with a nice story. Really stands out. Congrats
Really enjoyed this game! The art is gorgeous.
wow this is incredible. the animations and the mechanics all feel so fluid. the health bar being a timer is genius. the game's atmosphere channels some of my favorites like the Madness Combat games and animations. honestly, the fact i'm even talking about atmosphere at all for a game jam game speaks volumes. Freakin' fun game!
Excellent game, I had a ton of fun! The art style was perfect, along with the color palette. You also did a great job of implementing the them into both the gameplay and story in a way that felt super natural. The combat mechanics were fun, challenging yet rewarding to master. If you were to continue with this game, my one "issue" is that when multiple enemies are on screen, they can overlap each other. It's already challenging (in a good way) to read and react to their attacks when you can see them, but it's nearly impossible to do so when the enemy is hidden behind another enemy. Having two attacking you at once is also tricky sometimes with the cooldowns. But other than that I have no complaints at all, in my opinion it's a near perfect game jam game
Fun game with great visual clarity It was enjoyable to fight the enemies and the music was great. Great Game.
I loved the animation and the game feel! A little hard to parry when the enemy sprites overlap though but a cool game!
Really nice pixel art, and the story is interesting too.
I read Adenochrome and was already IN.
Love the narrative tie in of the countdown, the combat is super fun, kinda wanna play it with a joystick. The art is super effective, the posing of the big karate dudes and the sword dudes are a total stand out.
Only dumb thing I can critique is music and sound controls, but not much feedback I can give cause you made a banger I fear.
So, this reminds me of The Matrix big time. The hallway with the same type of person coming after you, the stances, the guns, the sword. Not sure if that's a coincidence or not, but I've watched those movies a thousand times. It also reminds me of Adult Swim, like this artwork, music, and words remind me of it for some reason, fits to play late at night I think. I like the swag this game has, the words in between was cool and just the graphics and music pull it all together. It was sometimes overly tough fighting 2 people at once though, didn't really feel fair. The story and ending aren't my cup of tea either, but that's just me...I usually like things where you aren't doing something bad like stealing.
Might have been unconsciously inspired by the movies but I was mostly thinking of the game Katana Zero
but yeah thanks for trying it out :D
Nice and short story, fights are very fun with the different ways you use to deal with the enemies, i liked it!
Love the animations and difficulty! ;D
Very good narrative and art style. The gameplay was good too. I like the mechanic of parrying enemies to make them weaker, it forces the player to not spam and react to the enemy. Sometimes when enemies stacked on top of each other it felt unfair but the game had really great windup signals that allowed me to parry in time. Overall, great job!
Yeah I knew I'd be getting complaints on the stacking, I couldn't figure out a good fix for it in time unfortunately but thank you for playing :D
10/10, Good story, Fun Gameplay, Challenging all with a good design!
Great game! I wish dodging bullets was a bit more lenient, but that doesn't really matter since they don't shoot often. I loved the narrative!
I like the style! Story concept was creative and I liked the ending. Would be nice if the enemies didn't bunch up so much, it made rooms with multiple enemies a bit jank imo. Overall great job 👍
Nice game, I've found the narrative and gameplay very interesting!
