Last Hope

I have been watching the game dev vids on your channel for about 3/4 of a year. When I saw the release video, I instantly headed to steam to buy it. I was really excited. The Art and music are super good, but the gameplay is not-understandable and extremely hard (in a bad way, not like Getting-Over-it-hard). I'll start with the tutorial. When I jumped into the game I had no Idea what to do and just walked around randomly. Then it became night and monster spawned and killed me (even monsters I couldn't see?????). When I died I spawned at the blacksmith without any text saying "You died", I was just teleported there. There the monsters spawn-killed me. I also have to say, that you can't really distinguish monsters from the environment or bullets from coins in the beginning, making it really hard to fight. After reseting for a while, I found out, that there was a church, that could be entered by pressing "e". There I found the light-staff. I had no Idea what to do with it. The main prob...

This game has no instructions or even a list of controls. Very difficult to figure out what to do and there is no clear goal. Do not waste your dollar on this game.

Play through attempt here...: https://youtu.be/XDxMEvdKp7I Usually I would write out all the problems I found in the game, but it's in the video this game has frustrated me to no end after spending so much time on it. I think the creators had some neat ideas but the execution is god awful. I tried to be as calm and collected as I could be trying to play this game since it was a first attempt, but I just feel defeated and still confused. Hopefully the play through will help someone clear the game if it's beatable in it's current state.

First of all, the music and art for this game is great! It's very unique, combat is okay, might need a bit of balancing, and since the last time I played, the game is much better, though still has a few bugs and things it needs work on, but I'll leave more info on that in the Vuvuu Inc discord.

first of all, the game is beautiful, and the music very admirable. Now I would talk about room for improvement but I read the other comments and they have summed pretty much all the real issues so I just politely ask the dev(s) to work on these but either way Im happy I managed to give a small 1 dollar contribution to the work youve been doing as I have very much enjoyed the devlogs throughout thank you for you knowledge, entertainment, and extremely affordable price in the past months and wish me luck on my own game dev dreams

I haven't played much at the time I made this review, but it's hard to understand what I have to do. I died many times in the game and I didn't realize ghosts or bees were attacking me, so I think the devs should make a tutorial at the begining. I like the art of this game and the game developer's YouTube channel, but this games need to be more polished (adding tutorials, explaining how to get money, making enemies more visible and make some UI effects when you get attacked). Obviously, a saving system would be cool too, but I know it's hard to make one as I made (and I'm making) some games in Unity too.

Totally broken game. Nothing works. No tutorial. Death comes instantly. Another developer who thinks this kind of thing is funny to do to Steam players. Returned the game.

I really liked the artwork and animations, spamming the hammer is fun and its a relaxing game to play. The tile sets and sprites are there but some of the game mechanics could use some work, as well a some bug fixes. All in all I really enjoyed the game and the fact that it was made by two teenagers is amazing regardless.

Pretty good game, nice art. Has a few bugs that are actively being worked on to fix, the game authors have been really good with listening to feedback!

Last Hope is not a game I would personally recommend. Sure, its music and graphics are charming, but the movement feels slow and clunky, the combat is dull and there are quite a few pointless areas that feel like they are just placed there to distract you from the main mission. And on that topic, this game does literally nothing to help you figure out what you're meant to do. It doesn't explain anything to you and that would be okay if the game would have information that gave you hints, but it doesn't. You're just expected to luckily stumble upon the next item / npc / hidden area. Very dissapointing experience.
