Glad you enjoyed it!
Are there only 39 soul jars?
Extar responds:
I had to check, that's the maximum at the moment, yes. There's supposed to be 40, I think one must have got removed at some point by accident. Thanks for letting me know :)
I thought this was amazing for a Pico-8 game. You could tell that you took some time on this project and added a great amount of polish. The ice and fire effects were some of my favorite things to see and you seemed to utilize the potential of the engine.
You were able to add a decent story for such a short game and I didn't find one thing about it confusing or difficult to understand. The controls and sliding element added a bit of a challenge, but that doesn't take away from the playability. It's its own learning curve and not a bad one. If I were to give criticism, I would say having more variety of enemies, rooms, and collectables would take this to a higher level. It's short and sweet, but you could make it even better with a bit more variety.
Thank you for making it! Also, what's that necklace thing?? I wasn't able to get it.
Extar responds:
Thanks for the detailed review and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I added a couple more items over the original jam version of the game and wanted to add more enemies but too I ran out of space on the cart (Pico-8 has limits on how big a game can get) so adding more would have been at the expense of removing something else.
Sounds like you're talking about a hidden item at the end there. :)
I wouldn’t call this a Metroidvania, it’s more a platformer than anything. None the less it’s a good game.
Extar responds:
Glad you enjoyed the game!
Metroidvana is not the right word to describe this game but that doesn't mean it's bad by any means....I highly enjoyed it although the jumping does feel a bit slippery
Extar responds:
Haha that must be the ice theme coming through. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
