You are an archaeologist tasked with exploring xylos, at the start level, you are to search for a hole in the ground, from where you may go into the caves and uncover the ancient ruins of xylos!
The music is a little annoying I didn't understand how to defeat the boss, ran to the right and apparently accidentally came to the first level location? A bit crooked hitboxes, it's hard to jump But in sum this twitchy atmosphere is even cool thanks!
Took a while to figure out you need to press "F" pick up the shards, got stuck on them (and other things) instead. Not sure if it's possible to beat the boss. It's definitely janky in almost every aspect :sweat_smile:. For where to start to improve, I'd suggest looking up better ways to handle collision as it goes a long way to give a better game feel.
How do you beat the boss level? I cant hit the emenies with my sword without getting to close to them so I always die. The game was very fun up until this point :( Well anyways, great job on this game :)
for the boss level, I haven't tried myself(my teammates did most of the playtesting for later levels) so I am not 100% sure but from the little bit I have played myself you should just try going over and through the bos and ignoring the zombie spawns for the most part, you can also try baiting them off the platform
I like the variety in levels and how some mechanics like spikes and falling arrows only show up for a brief time before moving to something different. The variety in weapons is cool although I couldn't figure out how to use the sword without taking damage from zombies. I couldn't get past the boss fight, I tried to gather the zombies together and then jump past them but that was easier said than done lol.
Nice start with this game. It requires many fixes and polish to make it good but it has the basics. That being said, it has unique shard reading mechanic.
I liked the sprites and the parallax effect of the background. The music is a bit annoying though, and I still couldn't figure out how to kill the boss. But overall I liked it, good job!
The parallax background is great! Neat little action platformer, good pixel art. Sword was a bit difficult to control. Props for adding the background music, but it was a bit grating after the first minute or so. Nice job!
