The first time i played the camera got backed into a wall and I could't see anything. The second time the guy i was supposed to fight didn't show up. Then i realized he was behind me slashing at the wall where i died last time. Wish I could turn around to hit him. I reloaded and was able to fight him and beat him but im not sure what the strategy is. It might be a good idea to start the player with some money so they can buy stuff right away, especially cause it's part of the theme. Maybe try to simplify next time. For example you could combine the buy screen the lobby and the stadium into one seemless experience which would also be easier to develop. Instead of multiple weapons, maybe just focus on the sword like getting new moves for it or upgrading it.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Duke","author_uid":"1139741","time":"2019-05-05T15:08:25Z","epoch":1557068905,"modified":1557068905,"text":"The game looks interesting at first but the gameplay is still really really rough. The controls are way off and unresponsive, resulting in a fighting system that is, in it's current state, impossible to have real fun with.\nThe art is minimalstic but works rather well. The sound effects cover the bare minimum and don't really fit the mood. The ui looks like it was made for a different game, it doesn't fit the aesthetics of the rest of the art, so there's yet more to work on.\n\nWithout free movement, a strategic fighting system and camera control, the game is barely playable. At least I couldn't get much out of it in the state it's in right now. Well, I hope you still had fun making it and learned a lot :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Geckoo1337","author_uid":"1000409","time":"2019-05-05T15:10:50Z","epoch":1557069050,"modified":1557069175,"text":"Hello. You did a cool entry which deserves more ratings. The game is maybe too slow and you should increase movement speed. It fits the theme when buying items. Often I use the same lowpoly man. I would like to hear some music and sounds. Well done. I recommand to you to rate more entries so as to promote yours.
