Frame lag issues, simplistic combat, and maybe it's because of the iffy camera and controls, but something about how the game looks just hasn't hit its mark yet. That being said, if this is an early version, it's absolutely amazing so far! I like the look and feel of it when it works lol. I do hope that the devs focus less on combat and throw in some kind of problem solving like puzzles or some kind of focus on exploration or collecting something.
This game seems pretty fun, I'm going to give it a try.
Thankss!! We hope you like it 💕
Ok, so I played the game, and I have good things to say and bad things as well. Let me start with the bad. So first of all, the game is really laggy, it feels like its running on less than 30 FPS, even tho I have an RTX 3060 Ti, and due to the lag, dodging the enemies, and jumping over obstacles to get to an elevation gets harder. Secondly, I had a hard time wrapping myself around the story, so a better sense of what happened and what is going on would be great. The next thing I would like to talk about is how I did not know where to go half the time, so adding some sort of map would be great in my opinion. These were basically my main bad experiences with the game, now lets talk about the good. First of all, judging by the fact the game was only made by a few people, it looked really good, and the combat was amazing as well. I like the design of the enemies, and the spawner machine is protected by a shield until you kill the enemies and their orbs destroy the shield, and hence you can destroy the spawner and then no more enemies spawn, that was on point. The game had amazing cinematics, and the whole concept behind it was really good in my opinion.
So overall, judging by the fact that it is an indie game, and I assume it was your first game as well, it was pretty awesome if you take those things into consideration. I would really much like you to give light on the issues in the game, as I think it has great potential, and you all have great potential as well. I would be looking forward to your future projects, and I would like to point out, that this was not meant in any way to put you down, this was purely constructive criticism, and I wanted to share my thoughts because I want the best for you all.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.
