Feedback request Legacy of Lina

Hi, I am working on a game called Legacy of Lina, it is not finished.

It is a metroidvania game, you can play it on scirra arcade

The design of the main character is something that i will improve.

Your feedbacks are welcome! Thanks.

Very cool! I'm also working on a Metroidvania type game so I love seeing other people's creations! I have a few comments/feedback.

-how come your main character has a sword if she doesn't use it?

-i like your fx animations! the smokes, fire and stuff looks cool! can't wait to see your character redesigns! What program are you using to create your art?

-i wonder if you can make A the jump button? maybe its just me but i found it difficult to use x to jump

-i think your control scheme on the game pad feels awkward. maybe it'll get easier when i fill up my abilities but I had a hard time pressing the correct buttons to do actions. I wanted to press R2 to attack to L2 is the default trigger attack. I kept pressing A (360 controller) to jump but it's X. this is definitely a bit nitpicky comment though in a way. Others probably didn't have the same experience with the controls.

I just got the double jump and will continue playing. Good stuff! So are you planning on having a map? What about an options screen? Anyway, keep up the good work!

Thank you heyguy !

-The sword is part of the story it has a meaning, but the story is not complete in the demo.

-The animations are really cool, I bought it.

-This is my first game, the ideia is exactly what you said, the jump button must be in the position that you said, i am using a ps model and the jump works perfectly, i need to check it.

-R2 and L2 both are magic attacks, maybe the best way to solve it is to let the player choose the buttons.

-Map is a good ideia, options screen to adjust volume and commands, I will do it!

Thank you! Sorry for my english i am not an american.

Awesome! You're english is fine! When do you think you'll release this game? What's been the most complicated problem you've had to overcome to so far?

heyguy

Maybe in 6 mounths, i need to program 3 bosses, 1 new map, fix some bugs, find someone to drawn the main character and test it.

I started using Construct 2 in January and i am working alone. I don't have too much time to program the game, because i work during the day.

I am facing the problems now with feedbacks, i need to know how to attract people to play, most of the people don't comment or rate the game, they play 2 minutes and leave, now i have some friends playing the entire demo, they will help me to improve the game.
