Cover.pngIt's done! Not perfect but done.

First time doing LD in compo and that was quite challenging.

In this game, Bryan goes to hell to bring back his partner.
The game is basically an action platformer.

I'm sorry for not adding any sound in the game, did not have the time to do it. I'm sorry also for any bug, any problem in the physics or the game design in general.

Thank you for trying my game :)

some sounds and the destruction of enemies would be a good improval to the game, otherwise i'ts a pretty simple platform with some interesting enemy looks.

I really like your art style, the main character and enemies were super fun! It felt like my jump inputs weren't always being recognized. Great use of the theme to buy upgrades, awesome job!

Thank you for your feedbacks. I... just forgot to make enemies disapear ^^". And yeah I had some issues with the jump, I will study the physics a bit more before making a new platformer!

The art style is very good, platforming is good too, maybe could use a bit of polish for jump and attacking. Nice job creating a whole story and characters!

Nice entry.

You may want to try manually setting the game width on itch, since the sides are cut off for me, unless I fullscreen it.

I had a hard time understanding when an attack landed and what my range was.

I loved the intro, although I wish I could have pressed space or something to go to the next image more quickly.

I don't think the controls work quite right for me. The hit is mapped to the mouse click, then jump to spacebar and movement with arrow keys. The alt, ctrl and other keys don't seem to work :\

@tofunaut I think your problem comes from the lack of feedback in my game because the range and duration of the hit should be pretty close to what you see.

@rombus I don't know why alt, ctrl, etc. Did not work for you. Did you try the html version or the windows version?

Thank you all for your nice comments :D

Interesting concept. But i don't know why i'm more interresting in the script than the gameplay. Nevermind nice entry pal !

Going to hell for the person we love..
Would like to have been able to skip the intro, as I had to reload the page.
Nice work :)

Nice game. The controls were a little strange, but it definitely was a nice touch to be able to pull the menu up at any time. nice work.

In the web version, when I push `alt` the window focuses to Chrome's menus and i have to click in the game scene again to get control back.

Cute sprites!

Hey, just as a headsup - its a good idea to avoid using ALT for player controls for games you do web builds for, as most browsers use ALT + key for hotkeys

Nice game! In my opinion the sword swing could do with being a little quicker and the reach a little longer, and the movement controls a little less immediate - trying to get into the right spot to hit the enemies is a little fiddly right now.

Just FYI, the web version has a couple of minor issues - Left Alt doesn't work (in Firefox at least), as it focuses on the menu bar.

Good job overall though! :grin:

Thanks to everybody :)

@icxon Thank for your playthrough, I use it to show my game to my friends and family :D

@DataGreed I tested again the html version and it worked well, you can try to refresh your browser tab, try in another browser or test the windows build
