Nice concept, but the movements are too slow, Nice job! 

Submitted

Loved the idea of playing as a group rather than an individual. Shifting between attacking and running when you’re alone is a really fun way to pace things. Great job!

Submitted

Cool concept and nice visuals.

The controls feel pretty good, but sometimes a knight would spawn behind me and cause me to get stuck and unable to dodge an incoming attack, which is a bit frustrating. Good submission anyway!

Submitted

This gave me a nice flash-player/tower defense vibe. I also like the pixel art.

If you don't mind, could you play/review my game? I need some constructive criticism.

This is really impressive. I loved the game idea and I truly laughed when I first got slapped by the giant.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate that you like it

I like the idea of this. Some technical issues (which I'm sure you're aware of, but just in case):

  • The giant only seems to take damage when hit in the middle two toes, not sure if this is intentional, but either way it doesn't feel right.
  • Other knights kept pushing me and blocking me in so I couldn't move, resulting in swift death.
  • The hand keeps going even after you kill the giant, so even after the congratulations screen appeared, it was quickly replaced with the Game Over screen, which honestly was just hilarious.

 Overall a good attempt, but these critical issues drag it down significantly. Fortunately, none of them are too difficult to fix, so definitely keep at it and this could be really fun.

On the design side of things, it's a bit repetitive, the giant could do with a few different moves to spice it up.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I noticed all the issues stated.  Definitely will need to resolve these issues once the jam is over.

Great game. The concept of representing the height of the Titans in two dimensions, without directly representing them, is crazy good.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Good to hear that you like the sprite

Nice concept, the idea is pretty cool and the game itself is enjoyable, but way too unfair. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for a challenge, but, to avoid the attack, it's just "run in a direction and hope the hand rotation allows you to survive", because you just don't have enough time to react ^^'.

It needs a little bit of tuning, but that's a cute little entry

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Hope I can tweak the hand attack timing in the future to give room for player to react (perhaps random hand attack speed)

I love the tunes! The knights look cool as well. I agree with others about the telegraphing, the slam is too fast. Maybe the giant could get faster?

Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Happy to hear on your opinion that the giant is fast

cool game. the issue i had with it seems to be what everyone else is saying so i won't repeat it. the art work is nice and the concept is fun. good job

Developer

Great work Rate mine too.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Rated yours already

I like the concept and the art is nice.

The time between the telegraph and the actual hit is too short which feels slightly unforgiving. So maybe a longer telegraph or you need multiple hits to die, and maybe some faster movement.

All in all nice submission. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback. Was trying to make the game challenging initially. Definitely will see if the enemy attack timing need to be adjusted after the jam

Submitted( 1)

Overall it's an interesting idea but I found the hands have a very short telegraph and this can lead to some instant death sitatuions.  

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Will adjust the hands timing in the future.
