Nice music and voice overs :)
The charging of the bow takes a bit long I think, and the mouse moves a bit slow.
But really well done overall!
And thanks for all the feedback guys. :D
Really woudl've liked the bow mechanic of minecraft (no extra click to reload - hold -> charge, release -> fire, hold again -> charge)
Other than that a pretty neat idea
Another tiny issue: the mouse doesnt get captured again once you tab out (web)
If anything, I would suggest improving the handling of the bow. Sound effects, a reticule, or even a "pull/draw" meter -- something to show that you are using the bow, and something to show where you're aiming the bow.
For the time allocated, though, this was a real decent playthrough! :) I got to the end with a smile. Good job!
# there is a bug when the red guy says "There is deamon, i saw him jump down there..." it is possible to jump over the gap, and get stucked in a blue screen :) BSOD lol
The bow shooting felt a bit off, maybe because the arrow was 2D? I felt like I needed to shoot to the right of what I wanted to hit. Also, the jump physics in the 2D bit with the spikes felt clunky and made it difficult to maneuver.
I did enjoy the concept a lot, though, and the transition from playing the game on a screen to being inside of it was REALLY cool. Also the audio was great, especially the pumping techno music and the resigned tone of the guy with the bow who realizes you are the protagonist, not him.
Well done!
