I could not get passed the first level at all. Each time I hit the QTE's it was a gamble on if they worked or if the viking art popped up and hid the QTE directions I could hit resulting in me failing. The artwork (of the maps) looked really incredible though, wish I could have seen more of the levels.
Couldn't play this game much for bugs :)
I liked the concept, I had fun playing.
For some reason, I can't play this game. I tried it in Chrome and Firefox.
The QTEs don't work. Sometimes I can't even take the first step.
Or maybe I'm doing something completely wrong, but it looks like a bug.
I managed to play! The game was still incredibly buggy for some reason (I figured it was just me) but I even managed to get past the second level!
interesting game idea. Great QTE!
great entry for this jam, great graphics, QTE only gameplay! I really liked the visuals and wanted to play more and more to see what the next room will look like! overall great QTE, just with you had more time to polish, great job! cant wait to see what you come up with next round.
if you can please check out my entry I would appreciate that a lot
I think the idea of this is actually very promising. I had some difficulty with the controls before eventually starting to get it. If polished up and a better messaging on what to do in the beginning was present then this QTE navigation sort of game could be great.
Valhalla awaits me, I hope
ONTO VALHALLA!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome game man!!
This is a short, fun experience. There a lots of ways to polish, but I don't have anything to add that someone else here hasn't already said. I think everything came together very well. I want to see 10 levels of this where I kill Odin and take his throne at the end.
TY for playing. Ive been seriously thinking about making a more flushed out version of this game because some people seem to be enjoying it and its lot of fun to work on and It might make a good portfolio piece. I will be sure to message you in discord when/if I get update the game. :) TY
Please do bro. I'd love to give you playtesting whenever you need it. Good luck!
I like the atmosphere a lot, the Viking theme is awesome and you are selling it really good with the images and the music.
I did find it a bit too difficult tho, I think I would like to have a little bit more player feedback.
It was a bit too quick, even for a quick time event :P
Tho it might just be a skill issue on my part.
I like your entry, well done! :D
I complety agree I didnt tele graph movement timing and player failure and general player feedback well enough. TY for the nice words :)
i like the vibe of your story. like a lot, that level aesthetic is killer. i think i broke it? savatos flew up to the right and off the screen, he did not come back... i had fun playing though, well done :)
Im so glad u enjoyed playing! I dont think I have had that particular bug. The right path was buggy and I had to make it work before the jam ended. Some people seem to have been enjoying the game, so I might update Savatos glory's accent next month. TY for playing and the kind word
Nice entry, felt very retro!
I played on Firefox. At around the 4th or 5th level, it was just repeating even though it showed the end-of-level screen. I went out of fullscreen and the game went black screen and crashed.
I thought the music was a good fit for the game's theme, and the QTEs being the whole movement mechanic was a smart way to implement the prompt.
Yes, the blacksceen after 2 levels is normal, the black screen was for like testing movement without any other visuals, so I could try to make the run animation feel good by itself. though the area got under utilized, I thought it was important to make sure Savatos felt good to just be looked at. TY very much for playing :)
Not really clear. At some point I was in completely black room with just the QTE. There is not a lot of variety and I feel like the AI images don’t add a lot and are a bit jarring
TY for playing. I agree, the timings are not clear enough. The black room was for testing that Savatos was fun to play even without all the other visual noise. It is in great juxtaposition to ur very calming and relaxing game and very well put together. I enjoy that game jams offer such a variety of games, I hope we both get to compete again in Round 3. TY for playing :)
The game’s telegraphing is a bit poor; it doesn't clearly communicate what I did wrong. There are too many flashes and pop-up images. I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong with the arrow prompts, though the jump mechanic seemed clear enough.
I agree, I didnt clearly communicate the qtes necessary timing and I knew it was too busy and I didnt have more time to iron out wrinkles in the timing and flow. TY for Playing and leaving some feedback :)
The black tutorial text was a really bad choice, very difficult to read.
When coming to the jump point, left clicking did nothing at all, i tried about 10 times each direction.
Still very difficult game knowing the correct keys. But i do like it, everything with vikings is cool
oh chit - I forgot to change it to SPACEBAR ty for telling me
