Fun game, the art style was really cool, reminded me of Tearaway a bit. I didn't really enjoy stopping every time I slashed. The combat in general felt a bit clunky to me. Also I could essentially just walk out to the outskirts of the game world when I was in the portal area. All that aside it was a fun experience! Loved the environment and overall feel of the game. The random facial features was a huge plus for me too! I could see this being a neat action / adventure kind of game if it's just fleshed out a bit more. Great work!
Really awesome artstyle, like mentioned earlier, very reminiscent of Tearaway. Controls are a bit chunky, I feel like it's near impossible to kill an enemy without being hit at least once. Sometimes you can sneak up behind them, but it doesn't always work. Oh well. Great work, anyways! :)
Nice hack'n'slash game. Good job on the 3D graphics, and the music and sounds are nice too.
My best guess at the Connected Worlds theme is: the outer "real world" is connected to the inner "virtual world" via the VR goggles.
I can't say I understood what the Well of Light and Well of Greed were for. That being said, I only deposited once.
Combat and moving around was a little clunky, though I did eventually master it. Initially I didn't understand that the red blobs were Sweets; I thought they were just bloody decorations.
nice graphics and music. I think it needs a lateral dodge move to avoid being hit or a block or something like that. I felt like I was going to a certain dead if I attack haha. great game!
I'm glad you liked it! We spent a lot of time modeling and animating, so we had only a few hours left to polish the gameplay. Btw, Well of Light lights lanterns and also increases character's attack, and Well of Greed spawns new "enhanced" packs of enemies with better drop. And your main goal is to spend 2.7k bloody sweets at the well at the temple and you'll see how it fits to theme. C:
It's pretty funny. The scenery is really good and the music is great. I got stuck in the well of lights a couple times but I had a lot of fun with it. (by Alvar)
> I don't know if it was intention but the weapons had no shader Yep, our artist's blender started crashing randomly, so we decided to abandon any hopes to fix it and instead spent more time designing the gameplay. "SO BE IT. Anyways, purple katanas make boxy badasses easier to spot in darker environment."
Love the music and the art. The combat is a little clunky and it's really difficult. I kept dying before I could find out what donating the sweets could do ;(
(PS: My game; Outdoor, is fixed! It shouldn't bug out anymore, if you fancy seeing what can happen at the end)
Cool game, the controls are a little awkward and combat feels clunky, but it has a nice art style and the music fits with it. A few bugs here and there but with refinement and extra polishing this could be something worth expanding on.
A strong game. I enjoyed trying to master the combat, which felt a bit clunky at first, but I discovered that it was fun to hit an enemy and then dash through them to avoid a response. Very weird and cool graphics and great music. Nice job!
Thank you for your comments! And we're really glad that we found a brave warriors, who mastered our weird combat system.~ Regarding the music - we spent hours on searching for a suitable tune that would be close to Japanese traditional music and we stumbled upon this awesome band called "Yoshida Brothers". If you like the in-game tune we wholeheartedly recommend that you check out their other works.
Cool graphics and nice character design! The combat was a little bit wonky, but I won't hold that against you considering you actually turned in a 3D action game to Ludum Dare. I totally forgot about the 2700 sweets for the final well though, so I spent my sweets on the other two wells (for which I have no idea what they did) and ended up unable to complete the game. A good effort, nonetheless and something I didn't expect to come across. : )
Really dug the art direction and graphics, although it seems like the weapons maybe didn't have time to get textured. Also loved the music. Really cool game that could be fantastic with some polish and extra time. :)
Nice graphics! I included it in part 28 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/Hmt93jxkWGQ
