I had so much fun playing the game! The experience works really well and is quite addictive :)
Feel free to check out my own entry for the jam <3
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it
And I’ll go check yours out as well
Very cool game!
The AI was kinda buggy but was generally fine.
The act of shooting arrows was very well done - felt really fun to play.
If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to do with the loss-by-capture state. The enemies can move faster and once you're in their vision cone, you almost immediately lose. Usually I didn't have enough time to charge up a shot so I would lose. Maybe it should take another moment for the enemy to catch you?
Great job overall though.
I definitely agree, thank you for your feedback and thanks for playing!
love the game i think you did a fairly good job here
oh and also i love the simplistic and minimalistic look you got going actually beautiful
I appreciate it! Thanks for playing
looks great!
Thank you!
Its a pity I can't seem to get the game running on mac. Love the visuals in your gifs and would have loved to try it.
Whats your inspiration for the art-style? It really reminds me of sokpop collective's visuals.
oh man that’s a bummer, I’ll look into it. And I’ve been really into the flat shading look for a while but recently ran into sokpop and I loved the way they do the procedural animation so I wanted to see if I could figure out how it works. Thanks!
Yeah, if sokpop was your inspiration, I think you nailed it :).
With regards to portability, having a web-version is usually easiest for everybody (if the game doesn't need too much cpu/gpu power). I'll hit that follow button and hope to try it out some time.
I was actually hoping to have it be played in the browser, but the builds I tried to update weren’t working and time was nearly out haha so I just went with the downloadable. Thanks for your help!
great art and animations, i love the style
Thanks! Appreciate it
