This is such a masterpiece! Great game!
5/5
I leave it on my desktop, I couldn't get further than night 11, but it is fun and pretty! I love the graphic style.
Nice and polished game with fun gameplay, wasn't sure how it was related to the theme though :/
nah, this game is literally a masterpiece, great job!
Good lord, ain't worthy of such praises
Really loved the art and the music! Super polished! The different abilities provided interesting progression. It was a little hard but that's fine. Good job!
Glad to read you ;)
Great style and music, plus really intuitive gameplay. Very polished (sfx, music, UI, etc), and you made all that in 72 hours? Wow!
I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
holllly you have to win something for this! By far the most polished game I have played so far. Getting all the powerups overtime made me feel like I was progressing which is huge for small game jam games i think. SFX were satisfying. Graphics were cute and well animated everthing felt alive if that makes sense lol Insane you made this in 72 hours from scratch.
It was a bit hard though I thought, the farthest I got was level 9 not including the refresh bug that other people were seeing.
Great job!
thank you so much !
Great game! Love the artstyle and SFX!
I really liked this game! The gameplay concept was fun and interesting. The 2.5D art style was really cool too!
The game is very fun and I liked it a lot, the music and sound effects are very fitting and were very atmospheric, your 2.5D is very fitting and the animations for the enemies, npcs and the player are very cute. You did a very good job of making some jokes with the little upgrades, I liked that a lot. The first time I played I only made it to round 10, but then I restarted and there were no enemies and the npcs kept spawning at night.
Overall very great game, I love it : )
(I would love to see a Devlog on Youtube, where you show how you made...art,music,programming)
Thanks for your feedback !
I have an actual patch at hand, waiting for the voting deadline to be over. This patch will fix the detrimental bug as well as improving balance, so that it's actually possible to win ^^
I've never given any thoughts about creating devlogs even tho I enjoy them quite a lot ! So sadly I don't have any rush of me working during those 3 days, but I could definitively explain how I went about every aspects. Definitely thinking about it now, thanks to your comment that is ;)
I would love to read about it : D
Cool gameplay.. Loved the 2.5D graphics...
Holy F*ck
nothing is moving anymore : D
yeaaaaaahhh I have this bug where retrying the game without refreshing the web page is not possible :')
nice. i liked the kind of vampire survivor-esque attack mode combined with defending something on the map. loved the day/night music cycles too.
This game gave me really cool Pokemon and Don't Starve vibes!
Don't starve's definitely a huge inspiration haha, pokemon tho ? Oh maybe it's the pixel art, gotta be it ;)
I love it ! Great visuals, sounds, musics... Very polished and more addictive than I thought !
Good job !
Amazing game! The one of the best jam games I've ever played!
I hold this very dearly, means the world to me. I mean it !
Excellent game! Ultra addictive! I've been playing for about 2 hours.
Great pixelart graphics and lovely sfx and music too!
The only bugs I found are:
1) when you die, and try a new game, sometimes the night don't trigger the demons, and the villagers keep spawning like during the day. But nothing that stops me from refreshing the page and trying again
2) the altar 20% upgrade doesn't seems to affect at all. At least doesn't regenerate nor make it more resistant to enemy hits.
Overall the game is really really fun to play and replay and replay again.
Congratulations!
Such a nice feedback ! Can't believe I had someone stick around for 2 hours !
And you're definitely right, my patch is ready for the bugs you mentionned just waiting for the voting deadline to end ;)
Awesome game, I love the 2D sprite on 3D environment look. Art is also beautiful. The game can feel a little slow, I think it's mostly to do with the leveling taking a while. Since you have day and night you could have a leveling system for both collecting souls during day and blood at night and trying to synergize the upgrades between both. Either way, great work! Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback, having 2 kind of scaling is such a nice feature idea ! I'll definitely look into it !
Amazing game. Love It! So smooth, clean and fun!
Glad to read that !
i Liked the game. but i think it was realy hard to get enough souls. the graphiks and the audio was very good. sadly i dont realy see how this game fits the theme
It for sure is to hard definitely, but I'm still happy you enjoyed it !
This fit the theme as the end of the day is the beginning of the night, so you have this very clear game loop with a clear shift of mood and tone both artwise and gameplay wise. You could also see it as ending lives of your people will be the beginning of a new day as you could survive the night thank to these sacrifices.
