the art and music is crazy! how did you do it in 4 days???
Thank you for the kind words!
For me, the inspiration for the music and sound design came from the pressure of being surrounded by a team of people who are absolute geniuses at their respective crafts.
Wow, the visuals and music are STUNNING! Hope we see you in the gmtk video at the end of the week!
Thank you very much!
I'm a simple man, I see black-hole background, it's an instant like.
Seriously the quality is off the charts and easily my favourite pixel-art of the jam. The cool blue palette to hot orange palette is just *chefs kiss*. Mechanically banging too, kicked my ass multiple times but the badass anime feeling kept me in the fight. What an entry!
Also, the page itself is so lovingly crafted, love everything about this.
I hope you dont mind, but I drew you guys fanart, because I loved your game so much lmao
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! <333333333333333333333333
thanks again! and thanks for sharing the art on stream!
This is godlike. Thank you!
thank you! Pretty much this is what I was feeling while on my ~6th try lol
YOU'RE DROPPING ME RIGHT IN THE MIDPOINT/FINALE OF A SUPER ROBOT ANIME?!
I've died twice so far, but I'm gonna annihilate you, ABRAXAS
YOU AINT BEATING ME
EDIT: YOU GOT NOTHING ON DETERMINATION, ABRAXAS. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM
I won my timeline, now beat them in EVERY SINGLE other one!
The game itself though, it was tense, it was awesome the feel of fighting a deity in a small but powerful mech, and really satisfying to pull off. 1 second guarding is the best use of defend even if it's not quite a parry
Having the system be pseudo-turn based really added to the tension too
I also love mechs and cosmic-scale battles or stories, so this just hit different for me in particular lmao
Get his ass! Great job! Thanks for playing
I am so glad you beat it! It’s HARD! I struggle :D Thank you so much for playing and it brings me so much joy that you loved it so much! <3
it was definitely hard! but the premise kept me hooked mostly because I really love mechs, and cosmic-scale action so it made me feel like I was in Gurren Lagann lol
Incredible pixel art!! Good job :)
Peak! The art is so good. Don't worry about the layoff, your game has the best pixel art out of the games I've played so far!
I remember seeing the progress posts on this game and just thinking "Holy that art is insane!" I'm so glad I am now able to play this! The sound design, the characters, the animations, and the gameplay all have careful consideration and make this game such a gem because of it. Good work to all of you!
Played at the recommendation of a teammate, IMMACULATE pixel art and animation! I'm also extremely impressed by the consistency of it all visually. I love me a good boss fight lol, this was fun and an amazing depiction of a time god. My only piece of feedback is that the onboarding was a little rough in that it felt like a lot of information being thrown at me as a new player, but after a little bit I could understand the loop.
Great work, Abraxas is one hell of a boss design
Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for playing
Thank you so much for playing! :D The compliments are much appreciated! <3
I really enjoyed the gameplay so much! Its really fun and engaging to play. Art artwork is gorgeous and so pretty. Well done!
Thank you so much! :D
Awesome game! The gameplay is fast paced and quite engaging, so I think that's really good (though I was a bit confused at first). The art is absolutely gorgeous too, thanks for the game!
Aww thank you! :D
Really great game! The art is stunning, and the music is good too! I think the directional blocking could use some work, and some of the defense mechanics are a tad confusing, but it's really good regardless
Dude the artwork here is amazing! It is really hard but pretty fun! I'm not sure why there is 3 different weapons though as it appears they all do the same thing...?
Thank you for playing!
The boss actually has a weapon resistance that shows below his health bar and changes as the fight goes on. He won't take damage while he has resistance to a given weapon. It can be easy to miss!
Wow. Just wow. This is so visually captivating. Ngl, I could not kill the boss but I attribute that a skill issue of my own hahaha. I was a tad confused about the defence system, but otherwise, very high rating from me!
No worries I’m one of the devs and I can’t beat the boss either LOL
game art and game overall is amazing! I love boss fights!
And if I were to give some feedback, the controls were getting me, perhaps Tab/E to open a wheel and select with a mouse or just allowing clicking with a mouse would help a lot to react in time. And maybe relaxed timers for first few attacks would be nice to onboard the player better.
Well done!^^
did you do that in just 4 days ??!?!?!?! this is amazingg !
We sure did! I actually overslept for the kickoff, lol
I've won by spamming the railgun and a single battery pack. Great looking game. Kinda overwhelming at first with all the moves, attacks, abilities and items. Even after a few attempts I still have no idea how the defense moves work or how to time them.
Good game overall!
A literal JRPG boss battle, awesome pixel art and narrative, what more can I say? Great game :D
First of all, this is gorgeous! It took a bit of time to figure out what was happening, but I got into it! Reminded me a bit of Chrono Trigger's active timers. I think the directions with the blocking tripped me up quite a bit initially, I think if either the enemy's attack was diagonal it could be nice, but I also get if that goes against the concept. I liked the difficulty too! Great work!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and leave feedback! :D
I agree - the directional blocking needs some work and some more animations would make it more clear I think! :)
I really like the art and the sound effects, awesome job! The game itself is a bit too hard for me, but I guess that's a "me" problem :D Awesome job!
