Better late than never!
You did a stellar job with this. Fun puzzles, great variety of challenges, and you really took the player to a lot of different locales and made sure to mix things up. Fantastic work.
Slyck responds:
Hey, thanks for the positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
I am utterly in love with this game. So much thought and effort went into it and it was thoroughly enjoyable! I was going to rate it five after the first stage but it continued to wow me. I could gush for a while about the excellent use of animation (including secondary animations), use of cinematography, suspense building, story-telling, characters - not to mention brilliant and varied gameplay. I appreciate that while there was a health system, there was no lives system and dying meant a short backtrack not a hg one.
My only contentions are 1) I encountered a bug with Malikai where he froze in his first damage animation. Fortunately, I killed myself on his orbs and could just restart the boss fight. 2) The movement is a little sluggish and made the last boss less reactive and more memorisation. 3) The navigation - especially early on with the side stairs - was a tad finicky. Also, the artwork, while not spectacular was polished enough to not cause resentment.
I'm going to search out the first chapter and look forward to the next one! Thanks Slyck!
It's been so long since the first game created a name for itself, and 12 years later the promised sequel rears its head. Slyck, you did a great job not only with this game, but handling the fanbase of people who wanted this game so badly, so overall, wonderful.
Slyck responds:
Glad I could finally give you and everyone else the game you'd been waiting for for so long! Thanks for playing and keeping the faith through all those years!
Don’t rush though the game so fast when playing there’s other things to explore like choosing the wrong coffin and see what happens, I tried crossing the chain rope and keep falling off, failure and rage can still be enjoyable. Determination!
Slyck responds:
Indeed...very true, just don't rage too hard, lol
