Nice graphic and music, very atmospheric. Didn't really like the combat system.

This is impressive for 2 students, well done!

@zimennik Thank you, we know that, we didn't have time to do everything like we want...

I think something was not working right with the game. There was only 2 monsters on the map. No new enemies spawned during night.(I played for 2 nights) I couldn't find any gold. NPC at the start told me to explore the world. There was invisible walls preventing me from exploring the world on the both ends of the town.

On the up side I liked the pixel art you created for the game. Attack animation looks really cool! I liked the simple parallax effect on the mountain background.

Thank you for making this game!

Interesting concept, your designs (graphics/music) are your strong points ! Maybe you can asign a key for giving the possibility for the player to use the sprint independently :) Sadly, i didn't understand what i've to done and how i can progress : ennemies doesn't drop money and they don't respawn after being killed during the night. I use the HTML 5 version.

@mrerdalural Thank you so much for your comment.
We really apreciate that you played our game for two nights ;)
We know that there are some problemes, because we didn't have time to do all we want to do.
We worked really hard during 2 days but we are students so we had to work to.

The final version that we wanted have a monster spawner during night, coins gived when you kill a monster and a bigger map...
But that's life and we are very proud of our graphics and sounds.
Again thanks you very much.

@whomakeworse Yeah! I know how game jams are like. Make sure to do a postmortem and share it. There are a lot of lessons to learn from all kinds of projects. I'm sure it will be very useful for you and the community. Thanks again for the game!
WhoMakeWorseauthor9 Oct 2019, 12:39
@mrerdalural You're right, we learn a lot.
For example, it was our first game with a "story" so we had to make interactions with player. They need to say the good sentence at the good moment :v:

Great aesthetics. Love the pixel art and the music. The running animation is pretty awesome. The combat was a little clunky, but overall not bad. Great work!

Hey, the mood of this one is great! Nice art and music, very relaxing. I didn't find any weapon, so i cannot defeat the monsters. You should put the controls or other instructions on the game description! Congrats for the team!

Really nice graphics, especially monsters! They look more like they want to be friends with you, rather than destroy your village!))
Nice game!

I like the artstyle. Killed some monster during the day and they didn't came at night. Also I didn't get any money. Kept walking back and forward but nothing happened.
Nice entry

I like the art style. Reminds me of something... ;)

The mood is nice, combat is ok, altough I'm not sure if I have HP or not.

Well done!

Seemed like there wasn't much I could do -- I killed 3 monsters and then the shop keep let me buy something (even though I had no coins) and invisible walls blocked my way from doing anything else. Still, nice graphics and good attempt.

I like the art style, but I did not find anything to do. I killed two enemies, and no more showed up.
