Entangled by andre-606

[raw]
made by andre-606 for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

What will you do if you lose everything? Will you give up and move on or will you desperately try to make it right over and over again?

This is a little story about a villain, who is possessed with the desire to undo his past mistakes and ready to leave the world to crumble, and a hero, who have no choice but to chase him through time.

Controls: * WASD * Space to jump * E to interact * F or LMB to attack * You can attack upwards or downwards if you hold W or S

This sums up my experience with the boss. He poked me, then machine gunned me down.

Nice submission, I don't know if it was just the web player, but I kept seeing these weird lines show up across the middle of the screen, and the audio started playing really slow towards the end, not sure if that's intentional or not.

Eitherway, I like the art and the gameplay feels solid. Great job!

Thanks for the feedback. The audio was totally intentional. As for the lines, they seem to be Unity having problems with rendering tiles.

The art is really cute. Game has some issues, I got semi-stuck at the place with the boots, and fell through a floor once. The boss design and animation is really cool. Simple, but cool to look at.

The art is very nice, but the camera is too close and move speedly when we jump or fall, is too difficult to see where do we go, the boss with multiple tactic is interesting ! Good job !

I enjoyed the art here, cute stuff! Also very challenging. There was some problems with walking tho as the character seemed to get stuck a lot.

Wasn't able to beat the first boss ... but it is a nice game!

At first I thought a bug in my browser was preventing me from grabbing the sword, so I looked at the source code (thank you for that!). Turns out I thought the checkpoint was a sword lol
You managed to put in a boss fight, that's a huge deal. Common enemies aren't very forgiving, but the boss is easier, and actually very fun! Nice art and music as well. Congratulations!
(By the way, there's an issue with the web version where weird vertical lines keep popping up. Desktop is fine)

Thanks for all the feedback! @vcesauron yeah, already know about the line problem. I will look into it some time later... maybe... hopefully.

Enjoyed this game! I liked finding the powerup items and enjoyed the boss fight as well. Gave me a smile..:)

This game was too uncomfortable with the interface. Instead of a rudder, the combination of wasd and E key F made it difficult to control. But I liked the cool graphics and interesting progress.

Good game, I love it. But sprites seems like created in paint and added alpha channel in Photoshop xDD.
Also programmer made cool camera movement, this is awesome!

Nice game! I liked the graphics and overall feeling, and was motivated enough to fight the boss until I won.
I'm a bit unclear about the story though, and whether or not there is any point in starting over after the boss.

Thanks y'all!

@gamefive I guess I'm more of a shooter kind of guy so I find WASD + E/F comfortable, but yeah, good to know.

@krakadushka I actually messed up the opacity when painting so I had to paste the sprites on a background and then cut them out again.

as @gamefive suggested the control is uncomfortale. You could have given arrow keys as input too. The graphics is amazing and the gameplay is good. Since i'm not used to this control i cannot play the game for longer period of time sice the controls are confusing or hardder to get used to initially.

@weine post-LD version has a little bit more story and somewhat of an ending. But basically, unless you beat the boss first try, he manages to escape back in time.

@alphaden I thought if you use WASD + Mouse for attacking it isn't that frustrating, but I guess I was just too busy copying Hollow Knight control scheme and not putting any thought to it.

@andre-606 yes i dont know we can use mouse. Will give it a try next time with the mouse :)

Really solid platforming mechanics here. Nice work on the health and drop systems, and the inclusion of a well-implemented boss fight was really cool to see for a LD game! Graphics are really good, and the animations lend themselves well to the overall style. The music does also fit with the overall style, but I felt that it was a bit too repetitive. The sound effects could also be mixed a little better (for example, the attack sound was a bit jarring).
Nice job!
