Tarvun is a game made during Ludum Dare 46 with the theme "Keep it alive".
Your Hero will wake up in a strange island with a goat god in front of him. This go explain to him he will die if you didn't help him. With the quest to keep the god alive, you will explore and fight in this little.
We had a lot of fun doing this game, we are quite proud of the results, even if it is not perfect and some work has to be done.
We are pretty satisfied of this final result, and we hope you will enjoy playing it ;) Also, if you have any piece of advice or any question, please, feel free to ask in the comment section ! :)
Instructions before playing: Use Xbox controller or your keyboard Use ZQSD or Arrow to move your player Use E keyboard or A button to interact with object Use Space or B button to use your spear (you will have it during the game)
Wow, the whole art direction of this game is beautiful. The setting and story is interesting and it kept me engaged through its play length. A very enjoyable experience. Congratulations.
The art and music are perfect. I really like it. The controls are not the best, but overall the game is great! Would be nice if you have an option to skip the dialogue.
The art style is unique, the game controls well and is fun, and it has a small story that I really liked (and there's a goat god, definitely a win for me)
Love the art and atmosphere! The character felt a bit sluggish turning though, making combat a bit difficult, and I wished I could skip the dialog after multiple attempts. Overall very cool.
To be honest, the art style and music of this game are very good, but the game part is very unfriendly. First of all, the operation is very uncomfortable and not smooth. Second, the interaction feedback is also very poor. There is no sound effect and prompt, but the capacity is still a lot.
I find the controls very unresponsive. It's hard to get the attacking with the spear right. But lets not dwell on it. This is a super nice game in any other respect. I always love me some norse mythology references. Cool take on the voice of the god as well.
The setting and story was pretty good, but the twist was kinda obvious, which meant I didn't really care about the missions, that the god sent me on. Also would've really appreciated a skip button, but otherwise great job :).
Cool ! J'aime bien l'idée de progression du jeu, et l'ambiance est vraiment sympa. J'ai juste trouvé ça un poil lent. Surement à cause des textes qui te bloquent et qui défile assez lentement. Mais bien joué
I wish you could read the texts on your own pace, I read too fast and found myself trying to click to the next dialogue... a lot. But otherwise well done! I liked the look and feel of the game :)
Graphics are very good, and the music is nice as well, though the game itself seems like just an excuse for some story you wanted to tell. The combat controls are very frustrating. The dialogue not being able to be "clicked through" also makes it pretty irritating. The English also has several typos and other awkward mistakes.
It was cool, but you can feel the fact that it is a game jam. Maybe use getaxisraw for movement? The music was cool, and the graphics were nice and simple.
Nice game! My only notice is that the text takes too long to read especially compared to the action.. It feels more like an interactive narration rather than a game.. Also, from the second time you visit the God.. he starts looking creepy which kinda spoils the ending as you expect him to turn against you.. It might have needed a bit more build up visually to keep the plot twist... Good job!

Honnestly, I like it!
