Fallen Angel

Duuude I really like the music :D The gameplay was fun, found it interesting how you combined a side scrolling shooter + platforming.

This was fun! Having to alternate between "melee" and "ranged" attacks gave this some more depth (no pun intended..) and the music was great,

The gameplay is simple and fun. I also liked the music and the visuals is also pretty good. Well done.

Simple and fun ! I liked it, it gets hard really quick which is good ahah, makes you want to get further. I really liked the music as well, great job !

Jogo ficou muito divertido, gastei mais tempo jogando do que o esperado. Acho que a unica coisa que não me agradou muito foi que não ficou muito claro pra mim quais inimigos precisavam de 1 ou 2 tiros para matar, a principio achei que os voadores eram 1 hit e os não voadores eram 2 hits, depois apareceu um voador que precisou de 2 hits quando esperava 1.

I made it to the Congratulations screen! I really like how shooting down causes the character to hover, and the music is great.

Really cool game with great pacing and music. It was very fun to play!

I've played your previous Ludum Dare game and it was one of my favorites of that jam! I liked level design of that game and this one has some similar take in some areas.

I liked parts of the game that should be explored to move further. For example, that I can fall down on angles, but not on the red ones. There is no clue for that. And it was interesting. My favorite part when you should strike down to move through the short tunnel of spikes.

I played the Downwell and the main difference is that Fallen Angle is not procedurally generated. That is why there is some moments that you should memories walkthrough. I just like that with the help of your game I could spotted that moment.

My only complain that I played Downwell and Fallen Angle is far too similar if you added some crazy mechanics it could make the game more memorable. For example, you could remove the shooting mechanic at all or leave only 2 or 3 ammo. The community of Ludum Dare is really friendly and if you made something that is not interesting it would be great too, because you'll gain new experience and we still will be happy to play your game.

@nethead @substr @jk5000 @fdk @boxedmeatrevolution @borabee Thank you very much for the feedback! It was my first time creating music and pixel art so it means a lot to me that you guys liked it

I really disliked the music when I first started the game. But, surprisingly even to me, it grew on me, and now I can't get it out of my head :laughing:

Gameplay felt fine and polished. Controls worked fine and were responsive. And that is really the most important part of any game of this type. Levels are good - not too hard to become frustrating, but not too easy to be beaten on the first try (at least, for me). I only wonder about two moments: in each level there is a point where there is a row (or two) of spikes. It seems like hitting them at least once there is unavoidable. Is that right or did I miss something?

It took some trying, but I managed to fall all the way down to hell.

Simple and fun. Very nice music. Great job!

I love the fact that when we use ammo it slows down the fall. The sound feedback is nice too. You made a simple game but really fun and challenging, good job for that !

PS: It would be great to be able to shoot up ;)

Simple game! In had a hard time adjusting to the controls but afterwards it was enjoyable. Good job!

Yay I win. A nice simple game with a decent challenge. Good job.

I played your game! Check it out!

Nice music, fun gameplay, cool graphics : everything is present to make a good game.
Good job, i enjoy it ^^

Great execution! Music was great. Everything felt smooth and fun to play. Nice work!

Nice music and controls!
Maybe extend the push back distance when you shoot.
I had fun!

OH MY GOD IT'S A BLOOD-SPITTING DEMON :fearful:
I love the pace, the gameplay and the concept of the game. The art and music also appeal to me very much, reminded me of old Windows games. Super cool, I hope you keep working on it. Is there an end to the game?

@fabula-rasa It is possible to pass those rows of spikes without taking damage but I admit that you needed to master the controls almost perfectly for this, it is indeed too hard :p. Thank you very much for the extensive feedback!!

@gustavo-rocha Thank you, glad that you liked it :)

@lorwon Yeah, I tried hard to balance that hovering mechanic. Thanks for your kind words

Glad I finally got to play a Downwell type game. Loved the music, the balancing felt pretty great, but the obstacle sections felt a bit strange. The horizontal challenges seemed a bit hard due to the low ceiling, and the occasional slopes were very easy, maybe some acceleration mechanic could have changed that. The theming was on point and overall pretty fun to play!

Feedback
- Really liked the game audio really cool
- I liked how you had to squash the angels and kill the horned
- The jumping was a bit strange but I found you can jump with up arrow too.

Nice game!

It felt a lot like Downwell, but with enough difference to make it interesting. The one I like the most is that you decided to handcraft the level, imo it feels way better than if you had a bad procedural generation like so many other games rush toward.
The level design is well done, the mechanic fun and easy to understand.
The music is fantastic!

What does the changelog means? Did you change the game post jam? Health and ammo tweaks don't feel like bug fixes to me, maybe you should give people access to two distinct versions (Jam for rating and post-jam for fun).

Thanks for the game I had fun!

What a great entry! Fully playable, complete game with a balanced, fun gameplay and dynamic soundtrack!
Awesome!

Really fun game! I like the mechanics and I thought the music was fun and kept the mood light especially as you play as a demon going down! I liked the art and overall really great game! Nice job and thank for the entry!

Game was a lot of fun, the dualaity of the enemies make the game simple to understand but also quite challenging. I do think the graphics could have been spiced up very easily with some particle effects, background, and some screen shake. Overall, great work!

Some original concepts and a neat visual style, good job!

Neat game! It reminds me of downwell. I like the music. I recognized "undefined01.ogg" as one of the instruments... the one that just goes "you lose". An odd choice, but your music made it work well!

A real nice completed game with everything in place, loved it!
