The art, UI and overall aesthetics are over the top. It is heavily inspired, but that's okay. Really love how well you pulled everything together.
Thank you so much ^^
Marvelous and distinguished game! The idea to combine music game qte with combat is defintely innovative! And here are some advice:
1. A Bug Exists lol : when I back to game from the credit page, the music stopped and i can't do the qte attack either. I also can't qiut the game since it lacks a quit bottom.
2. There is a certain phase offset between the music and the QTE . Add a System for calibration and increase the reaction time for QTEs will defintely improve the playing experience.
All in all , it's defintely a great innovation and a nice try. Wish to see your next version. :-)
Thank you so much, and yes the game has a lot of bugs 😠More then you expect, Also I did not realize there was a phase offset, I might revisit the idea in another jam, and actually focus on the mechanics this time xd.
I love your art and concept ! I can imagine some other simple rhythms, but they might be too difficult to play. In the third and fourth rooms, when I died, the game restarted from the beginning, which is a bit frustrating.
Yh the game was held by sticks xd, the game was not intended to be this hard, I didn't get enough playtesters in time, anyways thanks man <3
Love it, I think I would prefer if I could always attack but the further off beat i was the less damage it would do. But then again it wouldn’t sound as satisfying to play i guess. Either way great job!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it 💖
