Play at 1366 x 768 Resolution; Best experience.
First off, I'm so sorry for this. its pretty incomplete. I had to chop the story right in half, right as it was going to get good. The graphics are pretty bad, everything looks rushed, but yea. Hopefully I'll be motivated to complete it one day.
#IMPORTANT You can only switch personalities if the current personality doesn't have its ult on cooldown.
Also, My favorite ability is the Beam, press 4 then C to use it ^ - ^
The whole game is literally like 5-10 minutes of walking xd Kinda like my last times. I gotta remember to KISS next time.
In case you don't understand (You won't without this prob xd):
This looks like a lot to attempt for a Ludum Dare! I love the idea of multiple personalities as "The more you have it, the worse it is." I also enjoyed the different abilities for your personalities. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get past the Starter World as it kept popping me out into the world map.
It would be interesting to see how you build upon your idea here. I could see this as the start of a Smite type game. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!
It is a nice game. And it seems like a meta game? I try not to follow the instructions，then something interesting shows to me hhh. When I am in the village, it is hard to move unless I jump.
I love the graphics and music!! This game has a ton of potential, and I would love to see where you can take it.
I noticed that the player had difficulty moving the the second level--I had to keep jumping as if there were an obsatcle in front of me. I would have liked some walking / other dound effects as well.
I really enjoyed the graphics, audio, and overall mood. Well done! Very big potential. But it's too ambitious for a 48 hours run :) This is so relatable, couldn't finish my game as well.
Wonderful intro and voxel art in the character, and the worlds were enough detail. Its the scope of this game.. I think it would take a team, making it more doable as a jam entry. but whatever, it was fun to play. It was fun to read and watch and listen to the music, some zelda-like tunes in there. As the ending says, all you need to know is woopee!
The graphics are awesome! The gameplay is a little lacking and there were a few bugs (the starting world was pretty glitchey) but in all, with the time you had to make it, good game!
I mean, you say the graphics aren't good, but you are mistaken. The graphic style of this game is incredible. It looks amazing. Don't sweat it.
I think KISS is a pretty good philosophy to jam by. There are a number of kinda simple stuff that would have made the experience a little better. First off: the camera.
It clips through the floor and walls.
Second, while I LOVE the way you have text floating about, it's weird that it isn't oriented toward the player sometimes and in many cases is not oriented to the camera either:
And my last gripe, for some weird reason my PC likes faceplanting into the box:
But don't let my criticism dampen your spirits: The music you chose was awesome (though it cut off very suddenly) and I really like the art style and graphics. I hope you have the time to complete the game, because I would love to play it when it's ready. :)
P.S. Have a look at my game, if you have a minute. It's my first jam and so I'm shamelessly fishing for feedback.
The game sure has potential, the intro was very nice, the music is great! Too bad you ran out of time, this could have been some great story :D
So, bugs / glitches appart, I would recomend lowering the cooldown of your attack, or at the very least, in the tutorial the punching box should die in no more than 3 hits, also maybe have the camera follow you allways from the back
I did enjoy your game, yet as others have said, if it was an actual completed game this would be a really cool game. I ran into most of the bugs you stated and was a shame the game was not completed. You should feel proud of your achievement because it was a fun game :)
The world you've built certain looks nice. It looks like something out of an action adventure game. However, probably everyone has noticed it, the character randomly tilts down, sometimes even get stuck on the floor and I had to jump to keep moving. The visual and presentation is good, but still not polished enough. There are some serious lack of audio feedback and the UI looks really basic. Overall, I think if you had more time to work on this game, it would be great. The idea is great btw.
This game had a huge amount of potential, but sadly it seems you were unable really pull it off in the short time span. The first time I played, after talking to the elder, I lost the ability to look around with the mouse, as well as experiencing heavy shaking of the character as I walked. The second and third time, I had gained my new personalities, but the portal refused to open to take me to the world map. Not to mention the multiple times the character just stands at an angle for no reason. Quite unpolished.
I could definitely see glimpses of good game design and polish, from the character design, to the opening scene, to the effects of some of the attacks, but also, there was a lot of untextured, unpolished UI. This leads me to believe that you are good game developer, but simply picked a project to ambitious for yourself to make in 48 hours, consisting of multiple characters with different abilities, multiple worlds, and talking npcs. Coincidentally, "the more the you have, the worse it is" seems to be a very appropriate theme for why this game did not reach it's maximum potential. If you manage your time better, I will definitely look forward to your next game.
Amazing intro, felt great. I got stuck at the beginning or is it all? Seems like there is a lot of potential to explore on this one, sadly is feeling incomplete, but Nice work!
Very nice! I love the art style. The gameplay definitely has a lot of potential. Taking on different personalities could lead to some really interesting combat scenarios and puzzles. Also, the music is really good!
Even though it's incomplete, it's still one of the best games I've seen so far (or at least one with the most potential). Good job!
Well, I made it to the end. And was monumentally confused. While the graphics were good and the music was fantastic, the story (as you yourself have mentioned) is sorely unfinished, and the controls are very buggy. It has a lot of potential but I would have liked to see a completed introduction (like an extended Haven level) rather than two areas with confusing story and no gameplay. If you plan to develop this post-jam, let me know, though, because I would definitely play a completed version.

But regardless, a very intriguiing and cool gamw!

I was planning on it and I completely forgot! Coming soon

It’s beautiful ;)
