Beatiful game so far!!! but it kicks me out when I try to open this door: The same in this room (can't reach the chest):
I'm playing the PC versión!
Solved: change language
the game will be full release on itch.io or gog?
Hey! Is it still possible to play the demo?
Hi, the prologue of the game will soon be available for free. I'll be sure to let you know about it!
Thank you!!
Waiting for that too!
Hey there, no demo available at the moment, sorry. As it is no longer relevant relative to the current phase of development of the project.
Hey man, it shows me an error. It says "cannot read properties of undefined". Really wanna try your game, but I´m not a computer´s person. Is there any other way i can give it a try?
It looks amazing by the way, I would buy it just for the looks.
Hey! This demo version has not been updated for a long time, I assume the error occurs when you use the campfire. An update with fixes will be uploaded in the coming days.
"Maybe in the future I can will hear you."
I am a huge metroidvania fan and I really like the art style and gameplay in Skelethrone (even though its a little too tough for me). I kinda wish the enemies offered more xp or that the first ten levels required far less xp to upgrade.
I watched the Collector boss fight video because I had a really tough time with it and my encounters did not play out the same way as it did in the video. Almost every time I tried to hit mid air then use my second jump it ended in my character just falling in the pits. Also, after almost 2 hours of attempting the Collector, the boss just disappeared and won't spawn again. Hopefully there wasn't an important item needed from them...
I think this game has a lot of potential. Looks great, the combat is fun and it requires so little from my pc to run it. I hope this ends up being tweaked here and there before the full release. I plan on purchasing this one!
Thank you, there is still a lot of work to be done.
It seems like you are definitely on the right track and that you have a great understanding of what makes these types of games fun and engaging. I'm excited to see where you go with it.
I still never figured out what happened to the Collector but I'll probably just start over and pick different stats and what not. I need to see what happens next! :)
In general, a very strange thing, I tested this boss in different scenarios doing the most incomprehensible things to find bugs, but it always worked fine.
when boss is stunned you must pressed E key if you play on mouse-keyboard or button Y if you play with a gamepad , but not doublejump
The collector finally spawned again after wandering back and forth for awhile. Not sure how I made it glitch but I was able to defeat it. I was stuck on the Devouring Maiden where sometimes their health would be almost nothing after fighting from inside them once but other times I would have to do that 3 or 4 times before it was damaged significantly. Then it started getting stuck and flashing against the right wall and I was able to get the last hits in during the glitch and progress. Oops.
I wonder how players manage to break the game haha)
Bug fixed when Ghul Boss fight started, the game was finishing its work .
Hello! As a fan of dark souls and metroidvanias I loved this game. I just finished playing the demo and thought Id give you a little review.
So far throughout playing I have noticed that the combat is very fun. I find figuring out ways to avoid the enemies and find ways to attack without being attacked is very enjoyable and engaging. I also like how death is punishing, but not super punishing.
The inventory and everything that this game seems to has offer seems a blast to mess with. As of what I have played I only got to mess with shields, swords and some boots but I cant wait to see more. I also love the ability for Left and Right trigger.
The game feels difficult but not too difficult. It seems like it is made for the audience of experience gamers. Definitely couldn't see this as a beginner game as it does have quite the challenge to it.
I also enjoyed the npc chats as well. I always love stumbling across a new npc and finding out what they have to say, and this game so far has lots of npcs.
Overall, the game is great. It is fun to play, has an interesting story and has plenty of potential. Keep up the great work, Id love to see more of this game. If you would like to I am also working on a game right now in the genre of metroidvanias, if interested follow my instagram https://www.instagram.com/lemonramengames/
Hi! Yes the game it turns out as practice is not very easy, I see players die on the first boss, although just watching his actions are very easy to understand the tactics, you just do not hurry, this is what are counted on all souls games, even if it is partially platformer. Thanks for your feedback , of course the game will evolve in all directions, at the moment the demo has 4 different zones and 6 bosses and that's just a small part of what this world will be like.
Collector No damage with started weapon.
Hiii, I've made a video about the demo and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^
-The concept of the game is really good and has a lot of potential.-The gameplay mechanics are very clear to the player and fun, so I'll say that the game in this aspect just need polish in general to make the "game flow" better, maybe an easy way to improve it would be through checkpoints on some critical parts of the map.
-Visually the game looks very good and just needs some polish, especially in the sprites of the main character, but appart from that I have to say that the game looks pretty solid considering that it's just a demo ^^
In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it. Hopefully this is useful for the development :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards
Hi thanks for the support, of course everything goes on and the project will be completed no matter what ) As for the checkpoints, you just missed them)
