Nimbus Tower

Howdy,

Really enjoyed the game, short yet sweet.

It was so fun to play through that I even decided to speedrun it. It's very fun to find methods to get past the enemies (especially the slimes) while not dying and see so many spots where the enemies are timed perfectly for you to get past them.

Below is a piece of art I decided to do of that lovely bird we meet at the beginning of the game.

I wish you luck in any other games you make.
 

Hi there!

You sent me a link to your game a few days ago, and I'm sorry it took me a while to play it (and that when I did, I screwed up my mic a little, making the voice quality not too great, but I'd rather not re-record my blind reactions), and I actually had a fair bit of fun with it... despite what my pathetic display and mild gripes with the boss might imply.

I adore the spritework and the world itself, first and foremost. It's a pretty looking world with adorable visuals, and the little title character manages to convey both that and a bit of genuine badassery. And being able to attack in four directions is an absolute godsend. Music's good too, though I feel the sound effects need some polish, as especially the landing sound got a bit grating after a while.

And the boss, while for the most part fair, fun to fight and looking cool, does have some minor issues with a huge hitbox and one of his moves (the rising pillars) needing a slight bit more of a tell, or at least polished graphics of them sprouting. 

But really, that's all the nitpicks I can come up with. This game is adorable, and I wouldn't mind seeing it expanded sometime - though it's cool as a quick little adventure of its own.

When I started playing the game I didn't expect to replay it so many times. I find the game so much fun. The gameplay and characters are so good. I even made this art for it. I wish a longer version of the game could be a thing. I found it so amazing. I found the other games you have made enjoyable with the sounds and characters. Keep on working and improving!

Cool game! Played it using a controller, the controls were pretty nice. It took me like 15 minutes to finish the game, but it was pretty cool. The end boss was tough though. Loved the graphics and sounds.

Only thing to improve would be to implement sounds when enemy gets hit and/or dies.

Whao it is really a beautiful game ! A love your pixel art and wonder how you did this (were you alone ?) Congratulations it si really nice to play. I am working on my platformer myself, check it out (it is less pretty but there are some great stuff anyway) It is called Woander.

This was really nice!

Things I liked:

• The art is goregous! I've played some of your other games, and none of them compare to the art in this one.
• The controls were great, except the sword swings were a bit slow.
• The music is nice.
• The little effects give the game much more character.
• There was variety! Sure, the enemies were a bit cliche, but they mixed things up a bit!
• Short and sweet; Didn't drag on too long.

Things to work on(?):

• Short and sweet; The estimated play time is 40 minutes, but I beat the game in thirteen? This isn't really bad, it's just a bit confusing. 
• The story told by the tower murals is a bit too vague. 
• The boss was nice, but the area you fought him (her?) in was tiny. It probably could've been a bit bigger, though I understand that that would mean you'd probably need to expand the tower.
  • Not only that, but his (hers?) hitbox is pretty big, so there were some times when I got hit just because I couldn't go anywhere else, though this might just be my lack of skill :P.

I really liked this game, and you don't know how inspiring this is. Good luck on your next one!
