The graphics look very good. I think there's a lot of cool things going on, but game def needs some more fine tuning. Encountered quite a few bugs, including dashing out of the map and freezing forever. Dash itself is also kind of disorienting. There really needs to be a sensitivity setting too so anybody can feel more comfortable with the controls. I have no idea what whisky shot does. And more of nitpick, but a fps without a weapon in view seems unnatural, I was confused whether I read right that it was a fps or not at first. The boss animations  and combat smoothness were pretty good though.

Thanks for the feedback! Very valid points. We were short on time so we didn't get the chance to playtest and find all of these issues and fine tune. We're hoping to improve our time management in the future so that this can be avoided!

Regardless, thank you so much for giving the game a try!

Really liked the aesthetic and sounds of your game! Made me enjoy my experience even more! 

(P.S. If you're willing to I'd love it if you played and gave some feedback to my game! It's my first ever game jam and I'd love to see where I can improve!)

Developer

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it. We'll definitely check your game out

I liked the style and the sounds of your game!! Great work on the lighting on the level!!
the only piece of advice I have is to try to balance the lights a bit, too many feel a bit cluttered and it becomes a bit hard to understand what is going on during a battle, but great work!!!

Developer

Thanks for giving the game a try! Very good advice, we'll keep that in mind for the next one!

Like the sounds and visuals but I got out of the battle field while dashing and isn't 740 mb is a litlle much?

Developer

Admittedly its pretty big,  but due to time constraints we couldn't get around to optimization. But its something we'll definitely focus on in the future. Thanks for the feedback and playing our game!

The graphics are incredible, gameplay wise I was like..."where is my weapon?!" then I realize we can shoot!! but yeah still dying pretty fast, but the idea of a fight arena is pretty cool the first boss looked badass!

Developer(+1)

I know based on other comments you had some issues to be fixed but the project looks really good, I rate graphics over the rest but I like all you did, once you fix the needed things it will be really good game. Also please check my game if you can, thanks!

I spawned in and didn't have any weapon so all I could do was walk and dash while the boss attacked me. Not sure if maybe I'm missing something? Based on what I saw, the visuals looked cool, but also the screen felt very cluttered and it felt like there was too much going on to keep track of the boss.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the feedback! All very valid points. Due to time constraints, we weren't able to playtest and find these issues, so we appreciate you spotting its flaws. A bit of an error on our part, you can still aim and shoot, the weapon is just invisible. So the ability to fire  should still be there. 

Also a complete side note: the pause menu is now mapped to P, not esc. So you should still be able to adjust quality settings in game should any issues arise. 

Regardless, thank you for giving the game a try! All feedback is welcomed. Each lesson learned will make our next project even better!
