Sol, words cannot express how I feel upon completing your game. I started the game as any other, a fellow artist looking to support his kin. But upon completion, I found something unexpected...I found you. Your beautiful mind displayed before me like a field of gardenias on a stunning summer day. Like Icarus, I flew too close to the sun. Too close, to you...Sol. Now, I cannot extinguish the flame that you have imparted onto my heart. I cannot fathom an existence without you by my side. Please, my beautifully minded songbird. Send forth for me, and I shall arrive before you, betrothed and ready to spend eternity by your side.
Thank you kind stranger
I dig it. This is an impressive time waster for being made in only a few days over a gamejam. I wish the healthbar contrasted a little more from the background to pop more, might be my eyes but it got hard to see at timmes. Bookmarked for whenever I need to kill a few minutes, thanks for sharing this.
This is an incredible game to play, how you made this in 14 days is beyond me, I'm not sure how to die yet in the game but still great job. i played for 20 min and even shared it with my friend on discord. i hope to one day be able to achieve this level of quality in my games
Hi! Just a quick explanation.
After adding a devlog to attribute a code asset I used, the update time in information changed. Already notified the judges about that.
As you can see the game files haven't been changed since the initial realease.
That's all. Thank you for enjoying the game!
For 14 days of gamedev this game is nearly perfect, good job!!! <3
Such a fun play
I usually get quite anxious and panicky in survivor-likes but this one was really enjoyable. From the graphics, really loved the goblins and the colours of the floor gave it a lively feeling, to the music being relaxing instead of tension inducing.Really nice game, good job
Thanks a lot for playing! Glad to hear you liked it ^^
Figuring out how the whirlwind worked really made the game a ton more enjoyable! xD
Overall, just what I'd expect from a survivors-like, hella addicting, you executed the undying/soul-stealing mechanic really well buddo! <3
Couldn't get to the end myself (Don't even know if there is one),if there is an end, I wonder if putting a timer or indicator for it would help....
Overall, great game amigo! :] Keep it up!
Thanks for playing and I am glad you enjoyed it!
I initialy thought about wave counter, but decided against it. I wanted the death of the wielder to be something "not stressful", and thought that if player would see the numbers reset with every death, they might get frustrated
Honestly, good shout, it ensured I didn't get stressed during play, and then it continued to fuel my addiction xD!
This is a wonderfully made unique game.
The streams were awesome too!
I can't believe we finally get to play this
Thanks Joshua ^^
