Meteora

Finally got around to playing this - just didn't get enough time within the jam. I was part of the team that made Dreamweaver. Since my teammates had already played and rated this, I spent my time playing games with lower ratings. But I always intended to play this once I had some time.

I'm writing this after having played 2m and 39s of the game. First of all, the level design is immediately great, but honestly I'm guessing you've already got all the feedback you need on the technical elements. So instead, all I'll say is that this is one of the few submissions I've played that really truly hits the mark on what it means to be a game (at least as per my definition). You've put real effort in cutscenes, dialogue, story, start screen, menu options etc - that's (to me) when a game really becomes a "game" and not just a mechanics showcase. It took just 2m and 39s to make it clear that you really wanted me, the player, to actually experience something. 

TL;DR - Meteora is a real game, not a jam submission. Honestly I don't even feel like rating or judging it. I feel like putting on some earphones and just diving into it.

I understand you guys have taken part in previous MVMs as well. I intend to take part once again in the next MVM, and if you guys plan to join as well, it would be great to see both our games lined up against each other once again. 

I rarely get invested in an mv story, especially if it tries to be serious, but this little game surprised the hell out of me by making me care! By the end I got sentimental and called my bro: )
On a technical side, I wish there was a way to disable analogue input for aiming, as it was jumping all over the place due to my controller's smaller-than-usual dead zone. Had to add the game to Steam and increase the artificial dead zone using Steam Input.

super fun! Loved how you incorporated both Ori bash and Aeterna Noctis teleport arrow mechanics. Always nice to see a completed MV on here.

Hey um... How do I teleport to lightning? It shows the mouse but no buttons are selected.

This was a fun game. I liked it narritively and gameplay wise while pretty basic I liked how the upgrades worked and how everything came together in the end. Especially the teleport, I really liked that aspect when I finally unlocked it. I will say the enemies attacked very slowly and were easy to ignore, which on one hand I liked that I didn't have to be bogged down by fighting everything in my path, but when there were many enemies it didn't feel like it would bring about a challenge. Overall I would say 8/10. I hope to see what more what yall do in the future.
