I escaped the maze and now I'm curious : is there an alternative ending or you can't use the last recipe? That's fine either way, the game feels complete. I think I tried on the last grid and on the weird wall, but maybe I did it wrong, I only tried once on each spot. Note that if the last grid is here only so that you can make a mistake then it's perfectly fine that it's here.
The game is fun, I like the concept, mixing reagents is always a fun task, and I like the instant gameplay. Waiting for enemies to pop up can be boring, maybe when you kill one somewhere then one could quickly repop in this same exactly location.
The scrolls look cool.
I can totally see the game expanded with puzzling spots and puzzling recipes.
Good job, thanks for sharing.
It has been 43 seconds since I finished your maze… I found that the combining unique and powerful artifacts in a specific way revealed secrets that I never saw in any other entries.
- Thank you for the option to toggle snappy rotation! Feels crisp and the POV is perfect.
- Textures are not bad. Not great, but not bad.
- Game is begging for some sound effects and music.
- My keyboard only has a space bar on the right hand so it was a bit tricky to switch between the mouse and keyboard. I ended up rebinding spacebar using an external program.
- Sometimes it seemed like I wasn’t able to pick up items. Not sure why. Other times it worked fine.
With a little more polish, I think this could be a really great game!
Great work!
Thank you for the review!
The maze turned out to be so difficult that I thought no one would escape from it.
In next games i'll remember to set another key instead of space bar.
About the items: The screen really have a blind spot to find a target to pickup/attack. I couldn't solve this issue in time.
Had a hard time figuring out what to do exactly, put 3 items together in the brackets and then they disappeared. Was a bit hard to pick up items sometimes.
You’ve done a good job at implementing the basics of exploration.
The combat needs more feedback in terms of when you are being hit and when you are hitting enemies. Sound cues for those events would be nice.
