Music is definitely a next step for us, we couldn't get it working with the scene system we had at the moment, but I think in the future we'll do things differently to make them work! The font is something we didn't really think of either, so we'll keep that in mind for next time as well!

Glad you liked it!

This is honestly such a fun game, I think the concept is done so nicely and the game is so straightforward that you can start playing immediately which is great. And that ship behind you with the bombs on it is actually terrifying!

I know that I'm going to be coming back to this game later for sure!

This is a super unique take on the theme, and the game plays really nicely as well! I actually had a look into the tic-80 tiny computer you used to make the game, and it honestly adds to how cool the game is!

We actually tried to balance it around having different combinations work. We thought that it might be a more subtle element and didn't know if people would notice it, and so it's great to hear that you tried a few before moving on to the next level!

Thanks for playing!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! Dexter actually recommended me your game because of how well you pulled off the concept (so I'm taking a few notes from your game for next time :P). You're spot on about the risk of rain style items, and even I missed the hollow knight reference first time around!

Thanks for checking us out!

We'll definitely try make some clearer instructions for next time, I'm glad you got what were were going for at least! Thanks for checking our game out!

It was difficult to explain in the instructions, it definitely wasn't just you who had trouble!

Thanks for playing!

Wow, this game is incredible! From the smoothness of the gameplay to the amount of detail on the art (even adding a cool squashy-crouching animation even though it's unneeded), to the story, the game is consistently quality. The level design only needed a few mechanics because they were used well, and all served multiple purposes. I don't think I could find a criticism if I tried.

If you told me it was made in just a week, I wouldn't have believed you!

It's nicely polished with sound effects, music, and a menu screen, the art was neat too! The puzzle aspect with the barrels was a nice touch as well!

The art is really stylised which does a great job of making the game stand out from the rest! I especially like how the character outfits corresponds to their strengths!

It's a really solid game! The platforming feels good and the respawning is smooth and quick as well. I think the "checkpoint system" helps to stop frustration by always putting you back in a nice spot after you die!

I finally managed to beat it! I really struggled with understanding the tips at first, but once I got the hang of managing the stats, it plays really nicely! The settings menu is super neat, and the volume options for sound and music were a nice touch as well. I think someone mentioned it below, but this would be great on mobile!

(There is supposed to be a picture of my hero here but I don't think it's working)

 We weren't sure whether people were actually going to read the descriptions on the items, so I'm really glad you liked them! Your guess about the statistics is absolutely correct and I'm sure Dexter (other developer) is going to be proud when he sees your comment :P

Thanks for playing!

I had to change my resolution down to 1920x1080, my monitor isn't a standard 16:9 aspect ratio which was causing the problem. I don't think it's going to be a problem for most people, so I wouldn't worry if it's a hassle to try and rebuild it!

The first thing about the game, is the art is really incredible! This is not just the dragon and the heroes, but everything from the backgrounds to the card art. The game has a lot of character, and I especially liked the text on the cards. The music was also a really nice touch as well!

I had a minor bug where the game wouldn't display properly on my monitor so I had to change my monitor resolution to see the whole screen, but it worked great other than that! I think it's a really solid game, and even more impressive that it was made in just a week!

I'm super impressed reading that you developed this on your own! I think there are some really nice touches to it, such as the smooth transition to black with the spare/kill instead of just cutting to them. The ending screens were a nice addition as well! I managed to get four of the endings but I don't know if I missed one of them.

Apart from some of the endings only playing music in one ear of my headphones, it worked perfectly as well, nice work!

Hey, thanks for playing our game!

It being complicated was one of our worries, so I'm really glad you managed to to figure it out! I definitely agree with you about the music and sound effects, and the "game feel" is definitely something we'll be thinking about in the future. Thank you for the feedback!
