Really like the background art. Shame I had some issues on chrome, but I think its a cute game with a nice story.

Thanks for the feedback! It's my first jam game so sorry for the bug, that's all I could do :p

I'm not sure if I just had bad luck with encountering a bug or if the game ends where I was, but here's a short recording of the gameplay.

Thank you! You should shoot monsters (with the same colored bullets as them), fill your super and break the wall to continue. You can shoot green bullets with left, red bullets with right mouse click. Also the paper can be clicked when you're not standing near it. Sorry for that wall stucking bug.

The game is played best on Edge, Opera or Safari. Chrome version has another bug that i could not fix and it ruins the game.

I normally work on websites and I tried my first jam game, that's why it has so much problems. Sorry for taking your time.

lololol "No time awaits 'cause the road awaits." Gold.

This game makes me feel like the John Wick of Sherlock Holmes's.

Thank you for your feedback! We are trying to fix that bug, was it with the wall right on the starting?

Also if you wanna finish the game while we're trying to fix the bug, you can either try not touching the walls or fill your super while you're stuck and break the wall too.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yea it was that right wall at the start, did play through quite a bit and had fun!

Nice entry!

But I got locked in place in the first screen. I walked right and then went upto a green wall and got stuck there. Couldn't move. Let me know when this is fixed and I'd like to replay. I'll rate after that. If you want me to rate now, I'd be happy to do so as well.

Aside from that, I definitely think you could put the control scheme somewhere - either in game, or in your itch.io page. In the first story screen ("everything was well..."), I pressed every single button on the keyboard and unfortunately the last button I pressed was Enter, which removed the screen.

Cool stuff otherwise! I like the layout of the UI, it's pretty neat IMO.

Thanks for your feedback! We realized this bug on Chrome, we're trying to fix it now. I'll let you know when it's fixed.

Were you playing the web version or downloadable version?

coinbirdfaceSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

I was on web (safari)

KumkuatDeveloper2 years ago

Sorry for disturbing you again. Was the bug near the first healing place, or was it in the place in the image?

coinbirdfaceSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Na it was before this. It's right in the beginning when you just walk right till the first wall.

KumkuatDeveloper2 years ago (1 edit)

It should be mostly removed now, there shouldn't be a problem unless you touch the wall while jumping (at least on my browser). I haven't had so much time today, so if it's not fixed, i'll spend it more time tomorrow.
