VokCell @ Demo! +New OST & wind mechanics

Ha, the "Demo!" in the title really got me excited. Thanks for letting me down!

(Just kidding. I'm looking forward to playing this. Especially in co-op. :D)

One concern I have with games like this is they tend to become quite monotonous after a while. They typically only consist of running, gunning, and unlocking better weapons. (Which only leads to more running and gunning.) I'm not saying this is going to be your game (because it's only in alpha and I haven't played it for that long), but I'm just trying to suggest adding some amount of depth.
Skills can go a long way. For example, leveling up a character with stats or choosing some kind of bonus at the start of the game can really change things up. Enemies could also be implemented in a special way. For instance, certain guns may be more powerful against certain enemies or enemies could behave in a way that forces the player to strategize.
Again, these are all just suggestions from a fellow game developer. I would just hate to see a game that looks so visually appealing turn into another shallow zombie killing clone.

Sweet. I can't wait to get my hands on this. The music is top-notch and the sprites are beautiful. I also love the puzzle/platformer direction you took. It's always nice to see another person using the Game Maker engine. I can already tell this is going to have a special place in my game library!

Well, I've only had time to play up to the beginning of the 2nd level, but I thought I would give you my "first impression" thoughts:

1.The intro video should be changed or removed. Using Minecraft as a "backdrop" for your intro video isn't a very good idea. It pulls away from the 8-bit feel of the game and it gives off mixed messages. (The BandiCam watermark at the top doesn't help much either.)

2.I love the minimalistic 8-bit art style the game uses. Although, I think the spikes would look better if the animation was slower. It's also hard to tell what the green enemies are suppose to be, and I think the trampolines would stand out more if their color was changed. (Not really cons here. Just suggestions.)

3.The controls are also a little wonky. An option to customize them or at least give the option to swap WASD and the Arrow Keys would be nice.

4.The movement is nice and tight, but jumping seems to be somewhat of a problem. Jumping up stairs or across a small gap shouldn't be as difficult as it is now. I think if the player could jump 1 or even 0.5 pixels higher this could be fixed. Also, the trampolines seem to propel the player upward a little too fast. I found this especially annoying in the beginning of the 2nd level.

Overall, I think this has the potential to be very solid and fun platformer.

It looks interesting. A gameplay overview in the summary would clear up a lot of confusion though.

I'm so sick of zombie games, but I love the medieval era. Curse you!

I'm liking the new animations and the multi-player gameplay! The game looks really smooth as well. I also think the way you took advantage of the 3D with the mine carts looks awesome. One thing I've noticed though, is that sometimes your levels seem a little empty. It almost looks like part of a level is just an empty room. Now, I'm not sure if you already planned on changing this or not, but I just thought I would mention it.

VokCell @ WizardWizard has been released!

I was surprised the tagline at the end wasn't "Live a little...Die a lot". XD I'm glad I was able to be apart of this. Congrats on the release!

I love the art style in Risk Of Rain and I'm a big fan of minimalistic art so I enjoyed your graphics of course. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was complaining about the game. xD Most of the stuff I listed weren't really even cons just some of my personal experience with the game. Is there something wrong if the ending was the best reward to me?? xD That's actually one of the main reasons I was recommending the game to people honestly.

I thought this game was quite enjoyable. The music, graphics (why does it remind me so much of Risk of Rain?!), and level design were all put together very well.
Some cons I have: It was really short, but it's not really a con since it's entirely free. It was pretty easy, but that's probably only because I eat/sleep/breathe difficult games. (Not very good on the digestive tract or sinuses though.) MY ONLY REAL COMPLAINT IS THAT YOU CHANGED THE HILARIOUS ENDING THAT ONCE WAS. Yes, it was kind of dark and anti-climatic, but that's what I loved about it. Could you please tell me why you changed the ending??
Overall, this was a solid, quick romp through twitch platformer lane that I enjoyed, even if it only lasted a moment. (I'm sure you would also like to know that I've been recommending this to my fellow gamers.) Cheers!

I just started tracking because of your shirt in the kickstarter video.... I guess the game looks pretty cool too.

I like the concept, and I've always been a sucker for simplistic art styles. You shall be watched... ;D

This game looks AWESOME. Very reminiscent of some older titles. (Which I love!) The split-screen also deserves some bonus points. ;D The different playable characters, world map screen (still hoping it's similar to Commander Keen's), unique boss fights, the boss intros, and pretty original level settings really stand out as some great features of this game so far. (: The FPS/animation looks like it is in slo-mo sometimes, but I'm sure that's just the video or something you haven't fixed yet. I'm also really hoping this game is difficult. (Too many easy games out there nowadays. xD) Keep up the great work and I'll definitely be watching this!
