Is a good game, has potential, the art is very beatiful and is fun, but there is a lot of lag, and the main character walk very slow, You can make her walk a little bit faster or a run buttom.

This is the first level of Shards of Nell, a top-down adventure game about a young girls quest to save her brother.
We have tried our best to optimise the game for HTML5 and if you experience performance issues there is a 30FPS option!
Some of the music is available to listen to at https://bit.ly/2lKMip6
Made using GameMaker:Studio 1.4
UPDATE 29.07.2019
- Optimisation on wind effects and animations
UPDATE 09.09.2019
- Restructured Texture Groups to reduce swaps required
- Re-instated Active Object boundary to deactivate objects off-screen
- Fixed some bugs (Notably Shadows being drawn incorrectly after player death and 'Try Again')

Glad you enjoyed it, you made our artists day :)
Sounds like the HTML5 build needs more optimisation. We will be adding more options to control performance so hopefully that will help.
Thanks for playing!

itsbeej responds:
Sorry you had issues with the AI!
Do you remember which you encountered the glitch? Don't want bugs stopping people from enjoying the game!
Thanks,

has potential, but seriously laggy evem aat 30 ffps, maybe an option to turn off rain effects?
itsbeej responds:
Sorry you had issues with lag, HTML5 optimisation has been the bane of my existence!
Surprisingly I think the rain effects are fairly light in terms of processing but things like the shadows and waves are quite heavy. We can definitely add some options to reduce or remove effects and improve performance :)
Thanks for playing!

I very much like the story of a sister arming herself against the bandits that took her brother away. Very good mechanics (dodge move also being a way to move faster in bursts) and controls work well enough.
Definitely looking forward to future chapters and the utility that the blue shard gives in combat. Also getting to equip/upgrade the heroine, perhaps?
itsbeej responds:
Glad you enjoyed it!
We are planning to have up to 4 abilities or items equipped at once with plenty to choose from and upgrade. Ideally we'd like to get to four working and polished abilities first though :)
Thanks for playing!

Eh? It looks pretty, but there's really not much to it. Attack, dash, and block, two enemy types and a boss. No puzzles, no reason to explore, just very basic combat
itsbeej responds:
Thanks for playing and leaving feedback dude.
We plan to add some puzzles in later levels and hopefully the combat will be a little more challenging for you in the next few levels.
Thanks again,
Beej
