Thanks for playing, and for the kind words on the visuals, sounds and theme. I'm glad the difficulty felt fair. Congrats on your entry too, good luck in the jam 🔥
Gorgeous game. The atmosphere made me want to keep walking around, and the third-person view with squadmates who actually fight beside you feels good. I also found a bug. When I hold right click to aim and left click to fire, my mouse starts moving on its own and the camera drifts, so I can't aim and shoot at the same time.
Fun, easy-to-learn idea. The pixel art is great, the flame tinting the whole scene is a nice touch, and rainbow mode feels like a real reward. I can't believe how small the build is. In later nights the right side gets so dark I stopped seeing what I was shooting. Colors are also the only way to tell the types apart, so a different shape for each would help.
Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you got through several stages. You found a real gap: the controls panel fades right after your first strike, and the torch only mentions the ember at night, so the right click is easy to miss. I'll make that clearer and look at how the hits feel. Congratulations on Last Flame too 🔥
I enjoyed your game. The fights feel good, the upgrades are fun, and the difficulty seemed right to me. Two things I'd change: on a 2K monitor the HUD and hint text are small, so a text scale option would help, and I think the system for empty rooms that give a bonus needs rework, because the payoff doesn't feel as good as the fights
Thanks for the detailed notes, and for playing it end to end! It was useful to see how an AI agent handles the game with no prior knowledge of it. Good catch on the chest screen: I had already fixed the overlapping banner, and I'll check that the live build has it. Good luck with your own entry! 🔥
Thanks for the video and the honest feedback. I enjoyed it, and it was very useful
Torchborn was made for the AI Browser Game Jam, as a proof of concept with a short loop. I have more ideas for it, and this feedback helps me choose where to start
