It took me a while to understand what I need to do and in the end, I'm not sure I still understood everything. There was probably part of the game's fiction I did not get and that's why some of the mechanics felt odd to me.
But I still played the game for a good while. The controls are very snappy and playing it just feels good. The only nitpick about controls is that the "1" is not a good place for the dash - at least for me. I need to lift my fingers from WASD to use that key and it takes away some control I have. I would prefer something like "Shift" that many games use for sprints and dashes.
But overall, I very solid and polished entry!
All in all, pretty good entry with some potential to take idea further.
Good take on the theme. I had a lot of fun!
Personally I think having the dash in another key (LeftShift, maybe?) would be better
A good concept can make a game stand out. In addition, the visuals and music of the game also had a significant impact on my experience.
The visual effects of the game screen may not be so delicate but it is also characteristic enough, and the harmony of the music combined with the atmosphere of the game makes the whole experience more pleasant.
In addition, the difficulty and balance of the game are also key elements of the quality of the game, they can ensure that the game is challenging but not too difficult.
All in all, I think it's a great little game that has the concept, the visuals, the music and the gameplay to keep players interested and engaged.
This is a measure of the quality of a small game, and this game gives me a lot of fun.
If you like my reviews, check out my game too! Absolutely stunning! Thank you!!
