The art was amazing! I love the creature designs, it almost feels like you have some lore about this world that would be really cool to know. Or keep it hidden, like a Miyazaki film.
I liked the mechanic of the arrow and how it has that weird curve, forcing me to lead my shots.
The music was so good too, I played in Chrome, but I´m going to play it again in Firefox just to hear the music better (stupid annoying audio bug).
As others has said, it is a bit repetitive, I would have liked to have different levels, maybe the ashes are scattered in other places.
Really good job!
Hey, thanks for the detailed review. There’s some lore to it, but the time frame forced us to go the Miyazaki way.
Yeah, some more variation and one or more additional mechanics would’ve been nice. Next jam will be better!
Amazing art and music! My only complain is that it gets a bit repetitive. Great entry!
Really enjoyed the game.
I love the art and animations! That archer is so cool! Really nice to play and great soundtrack.
I knew I was in trouble when I heard that music in the final level :D
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, that was the plan with the music :)
Great looking game and nice gameplay.
I would have loved to be able to shoot arrow to modify the path of the hero (e.g. a bridge you can destroy as an example).
Thanks!
That sounds like a really great idea, noted :)
Neat simple game. Though sometimes it felt like a click was unresponsive, and moving the mouse after the click redirects the error which is a bit confusing.
So this is “by design”, which is the cooldown in which the archer cannot shoot. A better way is to hold the mouse, but I definitely know what you mean, it can be a bit confusing.
That’s interesting, because at first we had the arrow fly to the position where the player initially clicked, but this felt very unintuitive so I changed it to fly to current mouse position.
Thanks for the nice review!
Really nice with a great graphic style! :D
Sometimes my arrows seem to fail their objective, I'm not sure if that's intentional, having them to be a little unreliable.
Hm that shouldn’t happen, it’s not a feature (until now ;) ). If the arrow hit a baddie but didn’t hurt it, it’s a bug.
Nevermind, maybe that was my impression at first because I'm bad at aiming. XD
The art was fantastic, I really liked looking at it. The game was simple but conveyed the theme well.
It did get repetitive after a while, but I enjoyed the last enemy.
Overall, a pleasing game to look at and simple.
Thank you for the nice comment!
The game is simple to play and the graphics and music make the game stand out. Good job.
The art is really unique! I struggle with that a lot. Had fun maniacally shooting alien things for a while. Good job
I liked the Art and the shooting :))
nice game and good art.
Really liked the art style for the cover of the game also the pixel arts and its animation, really fits well with the atmosphere of the game. All in all, the assets you used in the game complements each other, Kudos on that!!!
Great work on your submission, Cheers!!!
That pixel art looks SO good! :O Great entry! Although I'm sure that hero took the LEAST efficient route to get from A to B... 😁😁😁
haha yeah, he's a dumb hero
thank you for your comment!
You are a master of art. The pixel art is extremely good. One thing that I have missed was a dying animation for the enemies. But that's a small detail.
Outstanding submission and definitely a great game! :)
Haha, all credit for art goes to iDLE LUKE.
Thanks!
Thank you very much sir, however I'm not near close to do art the way I'd like. But then again, thank you for your kind words :)
The artstyle and the music is amazing, well-done! ^_^
Sometimes I feel like the enemies spawn a bit too random and it's straight up next to this dumb hero. :D
Otherwise, I enjoyed it, nice entry, congrats! :)
Yeah, there are plenty of stuff we could've done to make the experience feel better but we had a really close schedule, RNG is something we could've controlled better. Thank you for your comment!
Honestly, wow. The art style and the music go hand in hand. The last level with those huge enemies was a bit too hard, sometimes ti was impossible to beat. Great game!
Nice game with great art style
Nice idea, not that original maybe, but the graphics make up for that. Awesome stunning graphics, well done!
Only thing I missed was some kind of indication if I could shoot again - now I kept pressing the mouse until the "timer" was finished to shoot a new arrow.
Overall great submission!
Beautiful story and stunning art style. Game is fun and short enough to keep you playing till the end, so perfect for a jam.
All things said, i always thought the kodamas were cute and peaceful :(
Nice game! I like the pixel art of the player a lot!
