It seems like my copy of the game is bricked.
In my first playthrough I chose to lose immortality, then the skull, heart, and bone debuffs. I was stuck at the end of the fourth level and I couldn't choose any of the remaining powers to lose. None of the powers were selectable, so I could not proceed.
Is this bugged? Not sure why I couldn't click any of the three options that should have been available to me. The pause menu is also broken insofar as I cannot click any option, and when I force-quit the game and restarted I found I can't select any power to lose after finishing the tutorial stage.
I posted this in a comment on the Steam discussions page, but it seems like there's no support for the game.
I think I've managed to sort out the issue here:
Very cool concept, and solid execution.
I sure know how to enjoy a cool, unique and interesting concept.
If you do too, get this game. Like, now. And give some money for it because it deserves that much.
נחמד מאוד, איך הלך המבחן בבצלאל? אחלה פיקסל ארט.
תודה! איזה מבחן? סיימתי את התואר 😅
מגניב, מה אתה עושה מאז? הייטק? יש בארץ משרות של פיתוח משחקי מחשב?
Great game! I love the idea and graphics :D
Hey since it has windows and mac support can you add linux support too? It would be nice to have games that support linux natively
i agree
Super Cool my bro.
What a fun idea! I really liked the concept, the art is great and the music sets the ominous mood. I just found strange that the dash has no sound effect, at least at the beginning in god mode, apart from that really great!
Great stuff! Recorded a full playthrough:
Really cool game! Love the concept. Going from OP to really weak is a neat idea. Playing with the mouse is novel but it also adds difficulty. The visuals look really good, I like the art style and the colors you chose. The music fits the mood. Great work! Hope you got a good grade on the final haha :D
Beautiful game! Love the pixel art, palette and idea.
JESUS CHRIST I'M NOT READY
gorgeous color pallete! cant wait to try it out <3
This is a pretty amazing game! The graphics are great, the color schemes are well chosen and the art is just really nice to look at. I love what you did with the mouse light/orb! The tutorial is neat, I quickly got everything and it didn't disrupt the flow of the game itself. The whole concept is really nice too! It made the gameplay really interesting to see this type of thing reversed, and everything getting more difficult not because the enemies grow stronger but because the player grows weaker. Short but sweet, definitely worth a play!
love the idea, visuals and theme. Gets really hard at the end lol. And angels, fck yeah. Really cool game
Any Linux release
I'm currently having issues with macOS and Linux builds, but it will come eventually.
im able to play on ubuntu
Wow! Holy crap. Love the theme, hooked me with it's inversion of the power fantasy. Supported by great music that also strips down and becomes more primal as you go through the game.
Mechanics take some getting used to, at first you feel super fast and it's easy to get ahead of yourself, which is funny seeing as you start off in what is essentially god mode..
Game runs great in it's current state, polished to a certain point. I did run into a pit in a later level where I couldn't get out without the power of flight, but that's random level generation for you (a very typical mortal woe, to get yourself stuck in a ditch or a cavern, left to die..)
10/10 would back in kickstarter
