Things are getting worse by Dyn

[raw]
made by Dyn for LD 40 (JAM)

At first you were sure that you are a favorite of the gods. Mostly becase you can not be killed. After any fatal wound, you wake up at home next morning. Quite useful when looking for treasure.

Then you realized that they hate you. And the more you have, the worse ...

Looks awesome but combat is a bit boring

Great animation, good music and visuals, but gameplay is meh. Some dynamics during monster encounters would help with boredom.

A little bit complicated game, but it’s not a bad sign!

First of all, the graphics and sounds are good. For a 72 hour jam, it’s a big progress. Secondly, the idea of gods who hate you is fun, like they just trying to prevent you from winning.

But maybe it will be good to give the player more control over the character? The faith picking is good, but you know, you can always adjust your fate a little bit…

I like the idea but I hoped that I can do more in the battle too. The voxel art looks good and the music is good but feels a little weird for a medieval-styled game. I hope to play an improved version someday. Good work.

I didn't hear any sounds at all. Could be a bug.

The graphics were extremely good. Some nice 3D models produced in the time allowed and especially the animations were very impressive. Some nice little touches like shadows were there too. The user interface was confusing and player input seemed very limited. There were long periods of just watching the action helplessly. Combat was predictable. The link to the theme was weakened by the lack of player investment into their character. But really good effort on the graphics and pulling everything together. The game ran virtually on its own for ages and I didn't notice any significant bugs. :)

There really seem to be a very interresting concept in that game. Unfortunatelly, combats are very slow. So it is difficult to fully test it.

The voxel type graphics are great (even if it is not 100% voxels, à la Voxatron, as voxels rotate).Same as above, i could not hear any music.
