0. Play the desktop version. It's better.

1. Determine where you can go. Initially, 3 paths out of 8 are open.

2. Find a platform with 3 mobs. Kill them (for the fight you need to not only swing your weapon, but also move). Collect loot. (You can disable the trap on the way to the boss, but it's better not to disable the generation of mobs on the platform itself, they will still be needed). Return to base. Upgrade armor to level 1.

3. Clear all 3 nearest platforms. Disable mob generation on "passable" platforms. Upgrade armor to level 3.

4. Clear the second and third platforms on both paths. Disable mob generation. Upgrade armor to level 4.

5. Run along the edge of the "upper" platform and unlock the shortcut.

6. Go through the shortcut and clear the "upper" platform. Behind it will be the first boss.

7. Kill the boss. Pick up the "artifact". Take it to the base. Raise the dash level to 2.

8. Go through the "dash path" to the second boss. Unlock the bonus jump.

9. Clear the "resource" platforms. Raise everything to the top.

10. Go kill the final boss!

P.S. This is a metroidvania. Therefore, you can choose any possible sequence of actions. But this is the easiest.

A good platformer. Several times I wanted to give up because of the high difficulty (is there even a coyote time here?) and the not always working mechanism of clinging to the edge of the platform. But I still finished it. And I got a lot of pleasure from it!

Your idea was a success. The visuals and sound fit perfectly into the theme! And overall they were made wonderfully. The character's movement, battles, and the structure of the world are also made at a high level. Disadvantages: some fragments of the map are not drawn (bottom right), a bug when re-entering the room with the boss (the door closes and you have to restart the game), rather strange save behavior (all bonuses are saved, but the map is not). Personally, I also missed the animations of the waves of monsters appearing in the arenas.

I will. But only when the game is closer to being ready.

Good game!

Unfortunately, the boss was a bit difficult for me.

Low dynamics. Very looooow.

I struggled with the controls for a long time.

I struggled with the monster for a long time (this monster got me even after I jumped over the abyss).

But when I defeated them, the game brought me a lot of pleasure!

In my opinion, it is worth reducing the distance between the platforms above the monster so that you can jump over them with one key, reduce the speed of the monster a little, reduce the distance between the switches for the "head" so that it doesn't fly for so long, and increase the hand speed a little.

Good puzzle! This game made me think hard.

It's simple:

- You have 12 cards, of which a maximum of 6 are available at a time (enemies have 6 and 3, respectively);

- Each card has 2 sets of actions: black and white (they are available when located on a cell of the corresponding color);

- A set of actions can contain 1 or 2 actions (movement and/or attack);

- Each action has 1 of 5 sets of coordinates (1:0, 1:1, 2:0, 2:1, 2:2);

- The set of coordinates indicates how many cells the target is located (1:0 - one of four neighboring cells, 1:1 - one of four neighboring cells diagonally, 2:1 - one of eight options for a knight move);

- You can move only on free (not occupied by trees and enemies) cells;

- An attack can be made on an enemy or (if this is not possible) on a free cell;

- If there are 2 actions in the set, they are performed in the specified sequence (if you move to a cell of a different color while performing the first action, the second action from the same set is still performed).

Good game!

Can you tell me at what level of magnet the pumpkin will turn into a black hole?)

From the very beginning, the piece cards should have exactly the moves of the corresponding chess pieces. With a little randomness. But I made a mistake somewhere. I knew about it, but there was almost no time left. And I focused on other things. The result - now the game can be completed. So, I hope the choice was right!)

Yes, sorry, everything is fine with the collider! So I had problems with math. For some reason it seemed to me that 2 hits were needed. If there are so many, you can make an indicator. You can change the color of the paint bucket.

Perfect interpretation of the theme!

But I still suggest making a few improvements:

1. Make the white not so bright (black is already as it should be).

2. Make the black spots geometrically irregular. (A long time ago, I saw such a concept in some review. And there, instead of circles, there were blots with splashes. And it really allowed me to navigate in space better.).

3. Disable the ghost collider just before the explosion. Because when you see the enemy, shoot at the enemy, hit the enemy, and the result is zero, it's a little frustrating...

P.S. Special respect for the Godot logo!

Really original visuals!

Good puzzles.

Good interpretation of the theme.

Also, the plot is harmoniously combined with the gameplay!

Probably one of the best games at this jam! But that's for sure. I only rated half of it...

Surprising a person who has adapted to the sound of an air raid siren with a disgusting sound is an achievement you can be proud of!

I also really didn't like the light and the lack of the ability to rotate with a mouse movement.

The idea is interesting. The implementation is ...

Auto-scrolling and automatic zooming when one of the shapes approaches the edge of the screen should have helped here. But a lot had to be cut off. Time...

Thanks for the answer. In the future, if you participate in a jam, it's better to write on the game page (and/or in the game itself) a list of third-party assets used and the fact that you used your own. Otherwise, people will treat your game with great suspicion.

Good puzzle!

The idea is interesting, but the puzzles are too simple.

I would add here: blocks that can only be pushed in certain directions, cells that can only be pushed in certain directions, cells that can only be moved by certain blocks, different reactions to collisions, obstacles for the character, teleports, time management...

The game has good potential!

The Windows version works.

That's where the good news ends.

After leaving the house, you can see almost nothing. The flashlight doesn't help at all. I can assume that the initial textures are too dark. And the light radius is too small.

And what to do next is not very clear.

When submitting a game, please add all the necessary resources.

That way people are more interested in playing, not googling what kind of error "RPGVXAce RTP is required to run this game.".

And then install "RPG Maker VX Ace Run Time Package"...

Good game! I especially liked the boss!

Good job!

And the controls are normal. Although something strange happens during the coyote time jump. But no stranger than the coyote time jump itself)))

Beautiful horror.

I just have one question: what percentage of this game was made during a jam?

Good interpretation of the theme and interesting gameplay!

Good interpretation of the theme and interesting gameplay!

How did I get burned out on the last level...

And why? Because for me, "returning to a checkpoint" always equals "resetting progress". As a result, I was less than a second behind 5 times.

But I beat this game!

And then I read the comments...

Interesting game! It took me a long time to get used to the controls. But the game is worth it!

Good game! I really liked it!

The only problem is there is no limit on the number of enemies. I tried to keep up with the speed and just run with a minimum of fights. Unfortunately, after 3 minutes the slideshow started.

I had 9 lives, but I still managed to die...

I enjoyed playing this game! Even if it's not on the first try.

I really liked the life management mechanics!

Great game! I enjoyed it, although the spikes from the ceiling before the finish made me return to the start several times.

The character disappears beyond the top of the screen... A strange decision. But it works in terms of gameplay (keeping to the timings and the puzzle element).

There is no key to reduce/increase the size of the character. The need to move the mouse reduces the dynamics.

The atmosphere is gorgeous. The music is perfectly matched to the visual style.

Thank you. I'll rate it. I try to rate all games. 96... Where did they get so many?!!!

Thanks for poking me in the re-center button. I didn't think. I didn't have time to control the camera with the keys, like many other things.

Yes, there are too many random values in the enemy cards, which makes it very difficult to create a strategy. And after defeat, they are generated anew, which does not make the task easier. But it creates the possibility of a convenient enemy.

Indeed, when changing the "Wait for Vertical Refresh" parameter in the video card settings from "Off, unless applications specifies" to "Always On", the bug disappears. But why didn't the bug appear at a lower resolution...

Одна з найкращих ігор на джемі!

Мені мабуть треба звернутися до психіатора було дуже весело скидати пасажирів за борт!)))

Одна з найкращих ігор на джемі!

Нащастя я не знав про ультимативну діагональну стратегію, і в повній мірі зміг насолодитися геймплеєм!)

Візуал просто фантастичний! (Непогано було б поставити на бекграунд зображення з більшою роздільною здатністю, але то деталі).

І, так, тактична пауза була би в тему. Навіть не стільки для прийняття рішень, скільки щоб мати змогу спокійно роздивитися корабель.

Візуал та звук шикарні!

Тема розкрита і сюжетно і геймплейно.

І я дуже радий, що не була реалізована остання катсцена. Бо я відверто не розумію навіщо. Жертва заради жертви? А у випадку, якщо головний герой не вмирає, для світу змінюється що? Я б зрозумів, якщо б був вибір: пожертвувати собою і донести світло, або залишити світло собі, а інші хай помирають. І, нехай би цей вибір навіть робив герой, а не гравець, це мало б сенс. Або якби сюжетно було б пояснено, що джерелом темряви були самі мешканці селища, і лише зі смертю останнього з них темрява втратить джерело і лише тоді її можна буде перемогти. А так я радий що нікому не довеловя помирати!)

Ідея та презентація шикарні!

Особливий респект за музику!

І, якщо з роздільною здатністю екрану закінчили...

1) Пришвидшіть завантаження при натисканні кнопки "грати" та приберіть перезапуск музики. Не треба її переривати. Реально класна!

2) "WASD"! Будь ласка, продублюйте рух на "WASD"!

3) Збільшіть динаміку: просто додайте швидкості руху і гра одразу стане краще. А якщо ще відстань між точками інтересу зменшити, або заповнити простір між ними випробуваннями по типу платформінгу...

4) В будинку є накладання текстур та щілини між ними, розумію, обмеження часу, але якщо вирішите доробити, - доробіть.

П.С. Чому гоблін? Єльф, або троль були б доречніше!)
