Fun use of the warrior's invincibility to defend the souls! Pixel art is beautify and the music is great!
A beautifully realized love letter to the Robot Party Jams. Works on kinda every front.
I love the art! It’s truly amazing! Also, I thought it was really clever to use the hero’s invulnerability as a human shield to protect souls from attacks. A great interpretation of the theme.
Wonderful game, the mystery of the lighthouse made me hungry to ascend it while also trying my best to save the lost souls. I liked you really had to consider how to tackle the enemies, not just to efficiently get rid of them quickly but also to avoid crossfire into the lost souls.
Great writing, very beautiful sprite work, the music was constant toe tappers into headbangers, and the endings were fantastic, love those plot twists! Outstanding work team Alpha Crush, this game has all the makings of something that could be expanded on into a much more ambitious project that I'd gladly pay money for.
Really liked your takes on the warriors & the way König speaks. Also, amazing logos & music!
Immaculate vibes. The presentation on this one is top notch!
Yo! This was awesome! The artwork, story, gameplay all worked so well together for a complete Encouragevar package. I really liked the atmosphere~
Incredible art with awesome audio. That reveal of translucent-gold-infected Boyhowdy was crazy (good)!
Really cool to see another game this year did a twist on a bullet hell just like us! Having to block the bullets with your sturdy body is such a great idea, and being able to chain kills together is super fun. The art and music are killer as well!
Glad you had fun. I really love how Kall on König plays as well.
I'm blown away by this game! The art is perfect, the gameplay is inventive, the music rips, and the lore is very cool. The idea of a sort of reverse bullet hell is such a good idea to make use of an invincible fighter.
Thank you!
Here is the link to the game's original soundtrack. Have a listen. https://soundcloud.com/chibenobi/sets/tales-from-the-astral
Incredible game! Got softlocked on the final level (Zugtug said he'd come save me... and then never did). But loved what I played up until then! Also... i touched the translucent gold in that same final level :(
we've actually fixed it so you can't touch the gold recently - maybe this is an old build you played? Anyways REAL GLAD you liked it so much ! <3 ty
Just checked and it was version 1.3, which seems like the latest.
ye it happened to kyle too - thanks i've let the team know ^^
patched and uploaded ^^
The art, music, gameplay, and, well, everything in this game just gel so well together. This feels more like a "real" release than a jam game! (No offense to jam games.) Getting the combo hits felt really good.
Really great artwork and the game is very fun to play.
I liked it alot, the gameplay was actually fun. patiently awaiting the 30$ with a level randomizer
A randomizer is something I wanted to add, though it quickly came out of scope (especially once I passed off the gameplay side of the project to stevieboi)
i ended up making some code for a randomizer that worked well but yeah it was a bit out of scope
