The keyboard layout thing made it hard to play though. I didn't get very far, but did enjoy the bits I played. I know Unreal Engine's keyboard input system sucks, but if you ever update this to offer a WASD toggle, I'd love to give it another shot. Just leave a comment here with @ale so I get a notification :wink:
While the French keyboard layout added a bit of a challenge for me, it didn’t detract from the overall experience. I appreciate the reflex-based gameplay and the intriguing narrative. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the environment, and the mysterious background music really sets the tone for the entire game.
Keep up the fantastic work! 🖥️👏
Je teste votre jeu dès que je suis de retour sur Windows et vous écrit un commentaire.
- The technical and artistic aspects of the game are the most impressive. It's beautiful, the introduction is funny and sells the fantasy universe quite effectively. Music is quite fitting as well, it sounds professionnal and sets a nice mood.
- The stealth level design is classic but also effective, a bit frustrating at times but that's the way the genre goes.
- I had a bit of trouble with the castle section, due to camera issues with walls, and the Zib Zab interactions that didn't seem to appear at times, forcing me to get caught to reset the level section. No soft-lock though.
Still, great entry overall, one of the more advanced I checked so far, well done !
WE FIXED THE KEYBOARD !!!
You can (if u want) download the game again, and the controls will now be in a good usual WASD !
Sorry for forgetting, we are indeed a french team and forgot to change the controls at the end x)
Tho, thanks so much for playing ZIB ZAB ZOUB !!! despite these unusual controls !
After restarting the game every time I got caught (many times), I managed to get past that door, but then the same bug prevented me from hitting the next red bush, and I got caught by the previous enemy who spotted me through the wall as he was walking back to his post. I reattempted that like 5 times, but no luck :\
TO BE FAIR, I'm playing on Linux through Wine, so maybe the issue is on my end. Either way though, it's still a neat concept with great graphics and audio :)
