Amazing support

I love this game. I was about 75% through completion when my character suddenly started spawning underneath a level. I emailed the creators and within a short time, they created a patch and a new update. They even sent me emails to ensure the problem was fixed. Thanks for being so responsive and supportive.

Hi, thank you very much its really appreciate :)

A future classic

Haven’t finished the game yet, but pretty far in, and I’m having a blast.

Most people will praise the graphics, and it’s a fair point, but what really surprised me is the music. It’s so good!

Gameplay is great, even better since the update where they reduced the time between 2 attacks. It’s very fast paced and fluid now.

Oh and if you’re bad at those game, there’s an easy mode, which I tested and can confirm it makes the game a lot easier lol

If you’re into Metroidvania/Action side-scroller, this one is a no-brainer. It’s great.

Cheers!

Hi! Thank you for the feedback, we will work on it soon and try to fix it asap.

Buggy with broken controls

I can't recommend with the current build for this game. I want to enjoy it but the on screen controls leave a lot to be desired. Seems like the actual box for selecting things is off. So I gave it a try using my backbone. I've run into an issue 3 times where I'm unable to dash and have a sound as though I'm out of stamina, however, I'm just sitting still. This occured during the first locked "timed" door tutorial. I was unable to progress due to the dash function just not working. I've also found that there were several instances where a button press like attack or block, or when dash worked, caused the game to freeze for a moment before resuming. Metroidvania style games should have really tight controls and even with a controller, it feels unresponsive/lagged behind.

Other bugs that are preventing a recommendation include bosses getting stuck in an attack animation making it a simple slash until they die situation. Happened on a spider boss and one with a scythe.
The campfire also seems to be broken. There's two options below the save and try as I might, I'm unable to move down to click them. When using the touchscreen, my character moves instead of moving the selection. When using a controller, it is merely unresponsive.

The art and animations are nice, it seems like it would be a good game if it were playable. Devs also appear to be active in the community and responsive to issues, so I can give them bonus points for that!

Hello, can you send us a video of the dash not working please? Our email: pidg.mobile.contact@plugindigital.com About the campfire, the 2 options bellow need to be unlocked to select them, and for the touchscreen joystick controller, the joystick controller is placed where you tap on the screen, and then you can move. Can you tell us also which controller you are using please? Thank you.

Backbone support

Backbone will all work except the dash forward

Response from developer

Response from developer

Hello, can you explain us please why our game has been destroyed by the last update? What is not working anymore? You can tell us at our email address : pidg.mobile.contact@plugindigital.com Thank you.

That's too bad

The control feel is too bad, I cannot customize the position and size, and last updates have lost my character

Response from developer

Hello, we just released a new version of the that should fix the glitch in the wall/floor issue! Can you please update your game and tell me if it indeed fixed the issue? About the controls, you can now customize them.

Please fix your last two updates

I love this game but it’s currently unplayable. The d pad moves on the screen when you use it, eventually working its way into the upper left hand of the screen leaving you unable to use the up button.

Response from developer

Hello, the joystick is movable now, meaning that you can place your thumb wherever you want on the screen and the joystick will be under it. In the next update, we will integrate an option to have the joystick fixed on the screen of you prefere. However, if you feel that you are having a bug, please send me a screenshot to pidg.mobile.contact@plugindigital.com Thank you!
