Good job so far! I am going to attempt my first platformer, great inspiration!
Thank you! And good luck with your platformer!
Trying to use your sword in mid air half the time completely deletes any momentum you had. That is very poor control design. You should be able to jump and attack at the same time without issues.
Thank you for playing our game and the feedback! We will consider this attack/jump mechanism change you mentioned!
Thank you for playing our game and the great video!
Great game with beautiful art. I played the complete thing (v0.3). The warehouse keeper was a tough mofo.
Things that could be improved:
1. Sound bug: When I change the sound volume in the settings every second step (2, 4, 6...) is super loud for some reason.
2. Sounds that occur in the middle (like sword slashes) sometimes come from the left or the right. I think that should only be the case for sounds that clearly originate from the side (left or right third of the screen).
3. The blood(like) effects need to be reworked. The particles sliding on the floor look weird.
4. The symbols of the masks are a too abstract and don't look at all like the thing that they do (protection bubble, slash). It should be easier to recognize.
5. The player movement animations look a bit stiff and the mechanics could also be smoother. But don't ask me for details, it's just a feeling.
6. Windows thinks your exe is sus.
But really great work overall.
Thank you for playing our game and the feedback! We will check the issues you mentioned. And we don't know why Windows is giving that warning for the game file, it is just standard Unity build files and also passed in Steam build pipeline... however we will also check it.
Much appreciated your feedback.
By coincidence I found this platformer toolkit on Youtube today that lets you experiment with player movement variables.
I found it very insightful. Maybe you will as well.
Platformer Toolkit by Game Maker's Toolkit (itch.io)
Wow! Thank you for this, we will use this toolkit to check our platforming mechanism!
Es un juego bastante bueno, me encanto tanto en gráficos como en música y atmosfera, es bastante laberintico pero me gusta mucho y la dificultad es perfecta, lo suficiente difícil para entretener y no tan difícil como para cansar.
10/10
Thank you!
I Love the Game But I didn't completed
Thank you for playing our game! And indeed the game is a bit unbalanced now, we will adjust that in the future version. You could consider follow our twitter for future updates:)
Can you make an Android version available please?
Hi Nutellaflox, we are a small team currently focusing on PC version. We will consider mobile version in the future when we get enough resource.
does this game has jumpscare?
not when I played! It has a horror aesthetic but I wouldn't call it a horror game, just a dark metroidvania
Thank you for your comment!
Hi meds0, this is mainly a dark 2d metroidvania platformer with some horror visual elements, not very scary :)
Доволі весело ...

Pretty sure its fake software, it popped up a windows protected your pc?
Sorry to hear you have trouble running the game, the game is developed using Unity engine and compressed using ZIP format, normally this should not trigger any safe warning in Windows. Can you send the screenshot of the problem to our email: info@studiowaterbear.com so we can check that problem?
I do not have a screenshot but its triggering it?
I'll try and work around it by turning it off.
Thank you!

Hi Bruno,
Thank you for playing our game and the gameplay video, we much appreciated that!
There's this weird bug where the either the up or down input on my gamepad is getting stuck and I have to disconnect and reconnect it
Sorry to hear that you encounter this weird bug, can we ask what gamepad you are using? We would like to further check this issue.
A wireless Xbox360 gamepad connected via an OEM USB dongle.
So an Xinput device
Upon closer examination, it appears to because there little-to-know deadzone on the analog stick controls
You barely bump it and the cursor moves
Thank you for this feedback!
Thank you for playing our game, and much appreciate your video!
