I played up until beelzebub but didn't beat him. The game is pretty hard but still beatable, but my game did randomly crash during the beelzebub fight which caused me to stop playing. Overall though I liked the art and gameplay, and the music was pretty decent too.

thank you! Sorry if the combat was too tough.

You can actually avoid encounters, if you run past the enemies enough they will give up chasing you (I probably should have been more clear about this)

I see. I’m not sure why you had the issue with enemy attacks because I programmed it so that enemy attacks are the same timing every time

the speed thing is probably from specific enemies like the bilemouths who have enough speed to attack before you unless you tazer their legs to reduce speed (tazer ignores speed order and just attacks as soon as you input it)

thank you! Although, can I ask what makes the combat rng heavy?

I've played through the game.

The spritework and presentation is really good, and the game is nice to look at, but I feel like the combat is a bit too simple for my liking. The combat was mostly just me trading blows with the enemies without much strategy, the only exception being the boss.

The story's also pretty simple in my opinion, but I can forgive that since we were on a strict deadline during this jam.

Also, I feel like while it technically is underground, I feel like the game doesn't do much with it and it felt like I was just above ground for most of the game.

Overall, while not perfect, I did have fun with this game.

oh yeah that’s what I was talking about. Maybe I just need to update my version

I like this DAW but I can't find the option to snap to musical scales in the floating toolbar. Does the documentation just lie about it being a feature?

There’s like 1 slightly gory game over scene but it’s not super bad

thanks for the comment and rating!

I think this game is the type of game you’d have to take some time to get used to so don’t worry about dying a bunch

thank you!
i understand the piano… making themes that hype you up is really hard for me

thank you!

Here’s a tip: you can use the left click (dash) to hit multiple enemies in a row which will increase your multiplier, which can be used to speed up the next time you charge your attack

Very fun game! I liked how the parry cooldown forces you to strategize around hitting as many bullets as possible.

thanks for playing!
during testing I found you could get over 10,000 points if you play well enough.

thank you!

Yeah, i’m planning on expanding the game and hopefully trying to implement more creepy stuff as well.

I did decide to try and spruce up the map a little bit, the first thing i’ve done is add a new path tile to guide the player a little bit on where to go.

Sorry for replying twice, but may I ask what you liked most about the combat? I just wanna know what to think about if I expand it

Thank you for the feedback!

I’m not experienced with making horror games so I understand if it wasn’t super unnerving. The other thing I did try to implement to make it more disturbing is that losing battles causes you to get eaten by the enemy that beat you.

If I try to update this game, i’ll try to add more map variety and make the game world more disturbing.

i see. The bald enemy is meant to be a miniboss to end the game, as it was pretty short. I found I accidentally set the final level as the main scene in godot, so i’ll fix that.

thank you for the feedback! I do know about the whole mixing resolutions thing, so i may try to fix that. Also, on what part did you get stuck on level 2?

Thank you for the feedback! I did know about shooting enemies offscreen and tried to fix it by making the bullets last less time, but I may have not done it right. I, to be honest, got most of the levels done in the night before submission. I may have been able to make a couple more levels, but they wouldn’t have had any unique gimmicks. i’m thinking of updating the game in order to add new levels, though.

yeah, i probably set the wrong thing as the default scene in godot. Whoops :/

edit: also, another thing is the reason i added shooting mechanics was actually to make it a bit more unique, and also because i suck at making puzzle games.
