The way the ball interacts with the cursor so spazzily really makes this unpleasant to play. It was a suggestion to people who liked Hook or klocki which were great. I'm not sure why this isn't really even remotely in the same class.
The graphics were bad. Curves looked very jagged and the art assets didn't mesh well at all. Music was weird and didn't fit.
I don't like brawler style games. And I found the weapon swinging sluggish and frustrating.
That said, the visual aesthetic was excellent. I loved the flowing water around the moon's reflection and the flames that generate on the screen when you die.
Audio was sub-meh.
no sound. pixel art is too minimal. causes the game to be devoid of any character.
levels aren't interesting. mechanic isn't interesting... levels could at least be procedural
if not procedural then it makes no sense to start the game over from scratch when you die
No sound? That's strange, there should be sound [ although, it's very minimal ].
Thanks for the honest feedback! :)
How do you play this? I'm clicking "SELECT" on the Local Save option and nothing is happening. I tried it on Online Save and it was the same there.
Is it really that hard to notice bugs like these?
Thanks for the comment. I encountered that issue only once, and I wasn't sure if I fixed it or not. I'll try to address it in the next update. In the meantime you can try refreshing the page and everything should be fine.
Cheers
I have a good pc but the lag on this was very annoying. It mostly only occurs at the start/finish of levels and when you pick up powerups.
Still one of the best metroidvania flash games ever.
Thanks :) Yeah this one is a bit laggy because I tried to do everything on a strict minute timer. I should have just let the lag slow things down instead of trying to be clever about it. Oh well, live and learn :) Thanks for playing :)
You used Skyrim assets here. That is illegal. You are profiting from a game which uses stolen assets.
NG is also committing a crime, albeit unknowingly.
The resolution mismatches were eye-jarring. Sometimes things would have sharp resolution. Sometimes they would look like zoomed in pixel art. This to me shows extreme apathy on the part of the creator.
This is a for profit game that was rushed to completion for that purpose and it shows.
I will not give any stars to a game like this under any circumstances.
Why is this on the front page?
There's no music. Only jarring painful sound effects. The art could be made by directly editing a .gif file with a text editor.
The mechanics are uninteresting.
This is one of the best web metroidvanias with the most awesome theme and atmosphere I've ever played.
2 was even better.
And it was a real shame that he didn't continue with his plans to make a fuller featured version for Steam.
I can't even play this it depresses me too much. That game was amazing. And I beat all endings and did everything in one night.
Ok first of all.
Why are you not mentioning Crystal Quest?
This is a clone of that game. And you gave NO credit here. Not even a mention. Shameful.
The interface was so bad. You have to click to scroll down in the upgrade descriptions.. in a TINY bar and it drags down so fast you can't even read it.
You have to wait for mouse button to RELEASE before your projectiles fire. This feels completely wrong. If you tested that, you'd have realized that.
No sound.
What's sad is crystal quest was from like 20 years ago and it was immensely better in every possible way.
Edited the description to mention what I based this on. Crystal Quest was my favorite game for a long time. I'll probably be remaking this game to be more diverse and loyal to the original.
Made this in like three days a year or so ago.
