The legend of Bit by CG_Fred

[raw]
made by CG_Fred for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

The legend of Bit is an epic adventure where you start with nothing .... and most likely die as a nothing or you may just be able to defeat the legendary boss and save the kingdom.

USE WASD or arrow keys to control the character. Use a mouse to aim the sword and stab with left mouse button.

The game and was made in 15 hours and most stuff was made by me, not the fancy music :o)

PS The game is created to run at 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio, if you run it at another resolution it will probably flip out.

The enemies following around the others rooms is a very fun (and chaotic) concept haha
Loved the sound effects and aesthetic :smile:

The art style of this game is really good, the enemy following AI was also really good, I would love to see this game developed into a full commercial game! Overall, this is a very fun jam entry!

Wow thanks @evlko & @joaosoliva & @black-flag . Took your game for a spin and it works now, cool game you did there @black-flag.

BTW did you get the evil ending or did you play nice? 🐰

Very funny sound effects :laughing: I was a monster at this game :imp:
It would have been nice with a restart button because I got stuck between a wall and a bunny when attacked by a skeleton, also moving the camera with the player would have made the aiming easier :crossed_swords:

Fun little game, I loved the sword attack sounds. FYI, 1920x1080 is a 16:9 aspect ratio, not 16:10.

Pretty and fun! The art style reminded me of gato roboto a bit.

Ohhh yeah I was too tired when I wrote the text about aspect ratio, thanks for the correction @nisovin & glad that you liked it. Thanks @cogcomp, yeah I took inspiration from Gato Roboto and Minit. Time to catch for a beer soon @cogcomp?

Congratulations on making this game! Interesting graphic cohesiveness. Unfortunate you didn't want to be noted on the audio, because I enjoyed it. And I didnt kill the rabbits. I swear.

@wakobu sure you didn't kill any 🐰 :) I didn't do the music so I opted out of that but it seems people like my voice version of the sword effect :o) Glad you liked it. Thanks @oune!

I'm such a monster, and the game was sure to tell me so ;) Nice little piece, I would have liked to have the sword swivel around a bit better, stabby the skellys when they're on my right side turned out to be quite a suicidal endeavor :smile: Cheerz!

Thanks @sevidax! I knew it, put a cute 🐰 in a game and swords and well people can't just resist!

Haha well now you know you are a monster for sure @sawtan . Yeah the stab bit could be very much improved with a more arch hit, maybe that will come in future updates. Thanks for playing it!

@pfeyffer moooohahhaaha! With all the rabbit killers out there I should have added a bonus to the ending, like to rabbits rush you with swords for payback!

Love the polish on this one! Great cohesion between all elements!

Only gripes were I wished I could move faster and something seemed off with how mouse aiming was implemented ...
🎤 CG_Fred
11. Oct 2019 · 08:48 UTC
Haha, thanks for playing @rtyx . Thanks @maxymax and you are correct, there is a bug in the way that the mouse aim was implemented, it originates from the weapon base and not the character which causes it to be slightly off but I discovered after the submission and it's not a major bug so I didn't fix it.

Pretty cool aesthetic. I think the sword attacks are too short though. it made me laugh when i heard "you monster" lol

Nice game want it a bit longer but jam so I understand ;)
Just a little thing, when I understand that if I keep enemies under me or at my left they can touch me because I have bigger range since every one if right handed, it work as well with the boss.
🎤 CG_Fred
11. Oct 2019 · 12:17 UTC
Thanks for the feedback @akusan and playing the game, I'll see in the future how this can be improved. I did keep working on it and have a little bit different setup now which I'll publish once the jam is over and judged.

11. Oct 2019 · 12:20 UTC
@nakami that is a great review though, if you wanted more of it then just must have liked it :) I was pressed for time and only managed to get 15 hours into the game but I think that I will keep working on it in the future.

That is indeed correct, you will have a longer range if you play that way. So preferably you want your enemies on the left side, it was a little secret but since you figured it out I can just confirm it. So you need to play a little smart also to really make the most of it. I did have a plan to have skeletons with 2 swords but I didn't have time for it.

Thanks @kekkodude that really warms my heart to hear that and yes the tree sprite could need a bit more work :)
Yeah I'm proud about the AI that keeps stalking you, thanks for playing @yubs . Well done @dinwy but you didn't kill any cute bunnies, or did you save the world in the EVIL way?

I saved the world! Good little game! I especially liked the mood with the simple graphics. Since the sword is glued to the left side of the character, he has a better range if you hit an ennemy that is to your left. Good work!
