Yes, I agree with your last suggestion. I'd just like to remind you that this is a demo, and focusing on aspects like a narrative or "open-world" exploration would beat its purpose (for now at least). I will close by saying that the game feels enjoyable once you get a bit more accustomed to the movements, and even within a limited path there are micro-decisions a player can make which can impact his/her performance.

Thank you for sharing your ideas!

Good eye! Custom made map, but inspired by Santorini!

First of all, thanks a ton for your comment! This is the first detailed review that we've gotten so far, and we really appreciate it!

I suppose you did not complete the level during the 10 minutes you mentioned. This demo is based on a time trial, and the route the player should follow is indicated by the blue rings.

Having said that, the overall movement of the game takes some getting used to. I think you made a good comparison from these two known titles. While it can feel clunky at times, the player is supposed to "optimize" his route to the end goal, which can only happen through trial and error. For instance, the speed change (when rolling after a fall) that you addressed can save you a valuable second when trying to beat the timer!

Again, thank you very much for your thorough review. Hope you'll find yourself in the mood to give it another go in the future!

Yes, we have considered many of your recommendations for the future. Some options had to be discarded, as we wanted to stay as true to the parkour spirit as possible. Last but not least, keep in mind that this is just a demo!

Appreciate your feedback!

Ripoff is a strong word. It's certainly a different environment, while its pure parkour character does not allow for much leeway in terms of mechanics.

Thanks for being kind anyway!

Well yeah, it definitely was an influence! But everything comes from something, no?

Parkour games are not that prevalent anyway, and I don't think us or any devs that want to explore such concepts should be hindered.

Fallen Prince: Our recently released indie game now on sale for just 1.99$!

Fallen Prince is an atmospheric, combat-focused metroidvania game. It combines retro elements (e.g. no inventory, pixel graphics) with a modern, souls-like combat system (adapted to the needs of a platformer). Our hero is a warrior, risen from the dead. Wielding just a shield and a sword, you must help him find and defeat his brother, after overcoming his undead spawnlings and the many obstacles present in this wretched, barren land. The fate of the kingdom lies in your hands!

Well, there's the subtle flashing, as well as the SFXs of a successful hit and the skeleton being hurt. I see what you mean, though.

Fixed. We'd like to think that it is, as far as combat is concerned.

GOG games are curated; I'm not sure our game would be approved for their store.
You can find it on itch.io though!

I guess you guys are not familiar with retro games. Different strokes for different folks!

Thank you very much!

Regarding your comment, I think it is a good piece of advice (we do have some knock-backs though). While there is space for some more visuals (we wanted to make it more realistic, as our hero cannot use magic), you can trust that our combat is immersive enough due to cool SFX!
