But once I started playing you could see the insane attention to detail. The parallax scrolling, the SHADOWS, the effects, the day night cycle, the different interactions in your room and world, like, wow.
\nI wish I had more control over the little zombie pet battles! I kind of felt like there was nothing I could do and I died.
\nAmazing presentation though, really cool.

I wish we had the same focus on the game play, because I have zero control right now. I can refresh the page to respawn and continue playing. I never found professor X after I got the parcel. He wasn’t at the end of the forest either. Maybe I missed a crucial part of the game.
\nI was also curious about the NEAR integration, but I’m not sure what it’s doing right now. I’m guessing we save our data to the contract?
\nFrom the cover image, it looks like we’re able to capture zombie emojis, but I never figured out how to do that. The game has potential, and reminds me a lot of Pokemon Red and Blue. It looks like the story is take directly from the game, which is just fun!

But it feels like it is all down to luck. On my first run with “Big Bro” I made it to the forest with three more emojis, but died because there was a battle every few step. On the second run with “Fishie” I didn’t even make it to the second city.
\nNot sure if it is was on purpose, but I was amused that the package can also fight.

\nThe controls are intuitive. There’s a bit of a pokemon vibe.
\nTechnically the graphics work well and the shadows and parallax give it another dimension. I also like the say the lighting changes as the sun and moon go up and down.

\nI wonder if the game continues after the forest, whenever I reach the end of that scene I can’t go any further. Also, I wonder if the legend is true and I can meet a dragon at night :)
\nIt would be nice if there were more options during fights, i.e. different attacks and an option to flee.

I did not think such a detailed game could be made with just those little characters. The pokemon vibes were suuuuper strong. The music and sound effects were on point.
\nI didn’t make it very far, delivering the package to Professor X got me killed. Had some graphics rendering issues on Firefox, some emojis were clipped around the edges, but it didn’t affect gameplay.
\nAbsolutely well done game, great job.

But the controls are easy enough and quite responsive.\nThe fact the package is able to fight is fricking hilarious. And draging my knocked our emojis along the way too.\nThere are also several visual glitches too unfortunately. All the emoji are very blurry. This could be fixed by using font-size instead of scaling probably. Also many emoji appear cut at times, not sure why. Emoji are really useful but can also be a pain to work with.\nCool that you added music but it sounds a little weird for this kind of game to be honest.\nAmazing job.

Really interesting to find a design made with that, plus shadows/sun/night!\nAudio is really nice too!\nBut the game itself is a bit empty, I would have love to fight a bit more, at least a qte system to hit/block, and I don’t really find the link with “death” theme.

\nI think I echo the thoughts of the other people in the comments section, a few improvements are needed on the control and balance.

I know you have no time to finish the game, so its graphics glitches sometimes and the history has no ending, but it was a great concept proof.
