Played for 40 minutes straight and game crashed:( prob because of the amount of arrows i was shooting at once and the magnet...

edit now the whole screen is gray and not responding pop up appears

Beorgames1 year ago

Hey, sorry about that, I'm working hard to fix that issue :X

natomarcacini1 year ago(+1)

The game is really good; it's quite addictive. The only issue is that I can't see the arrows from the enemies; Your game could already be on Steam.

Beorgames1 year ago

Thanks!
Yeah enemies arrows are a bit hard to spot, I'll check how to make them more visible :P

I thought about publishing it on Steam, but I'm afraid I'll need to invest heavily on marketing before that :(

PhiMue1 year ago(1 edit)

Bug report: Some props can raise the player's position until they can no longer hit the enemies (and the enemies can no longer hit them) and eventually they can even leave the map. This works very well with the coffin lid in the graveyard that spawns in the Dungeon. Then you can gradually work your way up on rocks until you are above everything.

Beorgames1 year ago

Wow, thank you so much for spotting that! Fixing it in the next update.

Nice amount of cash btw! I see you've been playing for a while :P

Feel free to reach out with more tips, I'm currently improving the game :D

You're welcome!

Good game, very addictive, if not already the case, would work very well on mobile, the enemies just need to be a little more aggressive and reactive

Beorgames1 year ago

Hey, thanks for your comment. I'm working on preparing the mobile version.

As for the enemies, can you suggest some behaviours you'd like to see

WIZAR DCAT1 year ago

Beorgames1 year ago

Yeah, the fire golem is super strong :P I want to make it unlockable after killing the third Fire Spirit to give it as an extra reward. Let's see if I can handle it. I might make it slower to compensate the strenght

WIZAR DCAT1 year ago(+1)

Beorgames1 year ago

Hey, thanks for your comment. Yeah, they have some range because otherwise it becomes too easy, but I'll check again if there's a better solution for this, I'm currently working on improving this game :D

Feel free to drop any more feedback

DracoPotato1 year ago

I am here from 10 Minutes Till Dawn and the game isn't working it just shows that thing that pops up for flash games

Beorgames1 year ago

Hey there, I'm sorry to hear this. It is weird, the game isnt' made in Flash, it is a Unity game. Can you please try again and share the screenshot of the error?

Magic Missile does unholy amounts of damage and ramps up absurdly quickly alongside Study

Beorgames1 year ago

Yup, that's a bit overpowered :P But people need to focus on that skill a be a little lucky to get that upgrade many times. I might change it in a future update

Phorplexus1 year ago(+1)

What have you done youve summoned the dev of nerfage magic missile enjoyers prepare yourselves

Very good game!

Thanks :D

Very good game, I like it very much. There are also more types of heroes.

But it seems that the enemy's pressure is not enough, and soon I will enter a state of near invincibility, and I only need to control my position a little bit. Perhaps you can increase the number or difficulty of enemies?

Beorgames2 years ago

Hey thanks for the feedback. I'm struggling with performance, and that's why I reduced the number of enemies spawned. But maybe this can be improved indeed. Also, the first time you play the game it is easier. It lets you pick the difficulty after that, so you can adjust to your preference :P

CyberCrusader2 years ago(2 edits)

Nice game, addicting and fun!

The base of the game feels really solid, however there are some things that could be finetuned or rebalanced:

1. I've played as fire golem. Slays everything until wave 33, where goblin shaman could not be killed simply because he is immune to fire and fire golem has no skills other then fire-based ones. Plus shaman has self-heal. Maybe need to change resists of the boss? Same stuff may apply to skeletons and ice golem since they have pretty much ice damage only.

2. Are crafted runes single-use only? i crafted some and they disappeared after one run. it's really tedious to gather mats to craft even low-level ones, let alone ++ ones. Not really worth it if it is so.

3. Archer(3 runs), ninja, wizard(3 runs), skeleton sorcerer and hunter are pretty fun. Melee classes not so much - i've played as warrior and dark knight and it's pretty hard considering slow speed and limited range of skills, i couldn't have enough defense and attack at the same time, got killed every time even before 1st boss.

4. Playing as wizard and getting cyclone skill(or how is it called, one that summons storm) crashes the game pretty fast, after several casts of the skill. Something "out of bounds" exception.

5. Skeleton knight's ice shield and paladin's god favor skills damage player on each cast.

StrategyRules2 years ago(2 edits)(+2)

Nice Game Bro! I find few places i feel uncomfortable:

1. The absorb mechanic is necessary. I needed to get really close to the potion to pick them up which risked my HP.

2.Like my demo, the game needs to give players the skill to slay monsters in an area to boost player's game feel. Right now, the first 3-4 mins is not as rewarding.

3. I personally find zooming out the camera when there were too many monsters distracting. And the browser starts to lag. I think u need to cull the monsters outside of the camera to boost the performance.

4. need some real hit VFX or screen shake when the player gets damaged.

Overall I think this game has potential man !!

Beorgames2 years ago

Hey, thanks a lot for checking my game, and for the precious feedback!

1. Yeah, that's coming on the next update

2. I'll think of something. My initial idea was to release it also on mobile, but due to performance I don't think this is going to happen, so I have the mouse free now :P

3. I'll add that to my to-do list

4. Cool, more people already told me about not noticing when they get hit, I thought the bigger health bar at the bottom of the screen was enough, but a screen shake is much better!

I played with the sorcerer and I liked the abilities he had, I also liked the setting of the game and the effects of the abilities.

Some things that can be improved:

- I had some problems with the fps

- Once you have enough movement and attack speed, you can circle near the edges and that makes it a bit monotonous

- It also happened to me that when I opened the tips menu, the inventory did not let me read them properly

Beorgames2 years ago(2 edits)

Hey thanks a lot for your comments, and for checking in as I asked :P

Yeah, the FPS can be an issue with the web version, I'm working on a desktop version now, but I'm also trying to improve it for the web.

Have you managed to kill any bosses, or got to the point when enemies start shooting projectiles? This should spice up things.

Sorry about the tips menu, I completely forgot about that when adding the inventory.

Sunshine.Inc2 years ago(+1)

Yeah, the desktop version should work much better

About your cuestion, yes, i killed 3 bosses. I started using that strategy after killing the first one

killereks2 years ago(+1)

Game progression system is very fun and is very addicting, great job.

Some things to improve:

Some textures have low resolution, it looks weird when other stuff is higher res.
Turn off colliders on dead enemies, they just push each other.
Sounds need to be normalized (i.e. be about same volume, pickup sounds are way too loud)

Beorgames2 years ago(1 edit)

Hey thanks a lot for your comments, and for checking in as I asked :P

Indeed I tried to reduce the textures as much as possible to reduce build size, but I should recheck how they look overall.

Good idea about turning off the colliders; it completely slipped my mind.

I'll check about the sounds as well. You're not the first person to complain about it being too loud.

I played again as the archer and found the game pretty fun. The defense stat is probably one of the better ones in this game. It's much easier to protect yourself from damage, vs deal enough damage to kill everyone.

I'm thinking it's probably the key to surviving in the long term.

I felt the game could really use some form of ability to draw in pickups. Maybe none of the characters I played had one?

I like your ad system that lets people play characters they haven't unlocked yet. This is creative.

Yeah, this is a good game.

Beorgames2 years ago(+1)

Hey thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll reply both in a single comment.

The paladin attacks have a shotgun sound indeed! Lol, I didn't have an SFX available for hammers...
I realize that it's not immediately clear that the player shoots automatically, I thought the skill cooldown would explain that, but maybe I need to think of something else.

I liked your idea about the health potions giving some extra benefit if you pick them up with full health. I'll add that to my to-do list.
I also thought about providing more information on the level up screen about the skills, but it became overwhelming, so I kept it simple. Maybe I'll add it on the class selection?
I also get that error sometimes, I'm trying to figure it out thanks for sending it!
Indeed the defense is one of the best upgrades you can have for the long run, it becomes overpowerful with melee classes, and is something I need to balance...
I also recently launched an update with a skill to raise pick up range, but I understand you mean one skill that picks up all items on the ground, right? I'll maybe add an item for that.
I'm working on the PC version now, if you want to follow new updates please join my recently creates Discord channel https://discord.gg/XCVVkGhcxr

Cheers!

The presentation on this game is off the charts. You've got a little video playing on the menu? That's amazing. Kudos for that.

So I played as a paladin and my hammer has shotgun sounds? It's a pretty loud sound effect. Am I meant to be shooting people? Well, maybe this class is a WIP.

It's a bit unclear how you attack, too. I realized after playing that you just kinda wander around and this is an auto attacker game.

I like the animations. The enemies have clean attack frames.

We should really get a reward for picking up a potion when at full health. A damage boost, perhaps? Extra temporary health that's subtracted before our actual health, maybe.

A potion you accidentally collect is wasted otherwise.

It would be nice to have indications of which abilities are skills and which are upgrades.

While playing the Paladin, I got to level 18, but then the game crashed. This was the error message.

An error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser JavaScript console for more info. The error was:

Nice take on the genre! I think there's a lot of room for 3d games in this space and it's good to see it being explored. There do seem to be some performance issues however, once there's more than a few enemies on screen. By wave 7 for me it was pretty much unplayable on my laptop. The upgrade paths were nicely varied, and the skills felt well balanced. I would add maybe a bit more feedback when you get hit though, as I found I didn't notice it most of the time.

Beorgames2 years ago(1 edit)

Hey thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Indeed on the web it becomes slower and slower as you progress. You can disable the dynamic camera on the settings, but it only helps a little. I'm working on a PC version to make sure the performance is optimal.
I also launched a few updates in the last couple days you might want to check them out.

I recently made a Discord channel, if you want to join I'm posting the updates there. https://discord.gg/XCVVkGhcxr
Keep tuned!

Amazing visuals and superb concept! Everything from UI to game effects was extremely easy to read and understand. Managed to get to Wave 17 and definitely had an amazing time. However, the only small critique I have is the fps drop whenever a huge group of enemies are in the screen view.

Beorgames2 years ago

Hey tyvm for playing my game!

I have put a lot of optimization, and the enemies stop spawning when the FPS drops too low, but unfortunately, WebGL can't handle well that many meshes!

I hope to create a PC build soon, it will be much heavier, but I think I can make it lag-free.
