Clay Knight

the game is good but i absolutely f*cking suck

Yo man this game is awsome, i beated all the 2 boss and it's so cool.

i hope that u will make this game a full souls-like game.

Good but a little jank. 7/10

When I was fighting the first boss fight, I felt that the character was very slow and heavy, and after the defeat of the first boss fight, the second boss fight was much faster and my character was very slow and fat roll, and the other problem was in the user interface of the character upgrade, which was not smooth , I hope you will solve these bugs but the game design and level design is good 

there is a bug where you cant upgrade, but the game design is good and is great for a 1 month project.

you tried, but the second boss is just not good.

i expect a fair challenge like ds3 bosses, but when the boss attacks faster than i can roll is when the game becomes bad for me. the second boss belongs in a sekiro or bloodborne-esque game, but definitely not in a game with slow-ass that force you to take damage. bad game design.

darksouls at home :

you should add block and perfect parry, and unlockable attack

the game is gud these are the bads and the guds

guds it can work on low end specs its fun and frustrating 

bads the rolls have too little eye frames the bosses are the hardest boss in souls history they can catch u mid roll and even if u perfect roll still u get hit 

also the most frustrating part the weapon is tooo weak and the bosses dont give any i mean any time to strike 

Uptdate:I no-hitted both bossess.I think that Nalani needs some nerfs,and a fixing to his janky interaction with his thrust that sends her flying.The non-combo(like she does it inmideatly without it going before another attack) flurry attack also should have more delay compared to the one that comes after another,since it can be really inconsistent to evade .

Definitively should add an automatic restart button in the menu,it would make the game more replayable by making it much more comfortable to try and no-hit the bossess.Other than that,Grave knight should have a slightly less big hp pool imo,it kind of become tedious since he doesn't get more attacks.

This is really cool and has a lot of potential. The dodge roll takes a little bit to get the hang of but feels really smooth once you've mastered it. I've never seen a game do claymation-style graphics before but it works oddly well here.

Grave Knight is such a well-designed boss, attack patterns are varied enough to be engaging and it feels really fun to fight. No negative feedback about this one, it's perfect already.

Nalani is a neat idea, but the windows between her attacks are too short to reliably hit her. I've found the only time I can consistently get an attack in without risking damage is by rolling to the side when she does her combo or sidestepping her dash attack. Which has the side effect of making her health bar feel too big.

Overall, very polished and impressive especially for a one-month project. Would love to see this become a full game!

Game was fun! There was a weird issue (could be me since im using a switch pro controller) where I was unable to click any options on any menus. I could roll, sprint and all that just couln't actually SELECT anything on any menus with any buttons, I had to click using my mouse. Also, the rolling does feel a lil bit janky where there were a couple times where I definitely rolled at the correct time and got hit in an early part of the animation, where in DS or Elden Ring I wouldn't have gotten hit. The sword also does seem a little bit short in range, as I would dodge a charge attack from GKB or a combo from NCB and I would be right next to them, but since they walked a SMIDGE away, my attack would just miss if I was charging a heavy. I'm a big fan of the clay art style and a full game would be so fun, like maybe one boss that splits apart into mini clay figs or a dragon that breathes clay goop. Overall nice job, I saw the YT video so I saw the hard work you put into this game. Looking forward to any future developments on this project you might make!

Wow.. this game is amazing. 9/10

First off, the background area along with the music is creatively designed and gives a good atmosphere for the first boss Grave knight Bonart (i hoped you did make a new area for Nalani, The Crimson Blade though) and it makes the bossfight absolutely captivating. I think the work on the animations for Bonart are near flawless, the attack delay is executed perfectly, and the boss isn't even that difficult to defeat AFTER you memorize the attack patterns and open windows to strike back. The only issue is that for one attack combo there is a moment where I take damage a fraction of a millisecond too early. 

The second boss, Nalani, is a challenging boss at first. The pg's attacks were far slower than the bosses', so I couldn't really get much out of doing regular attacks. I also found it hard to time the rolls properly so I stuck to strafing and only attacking in open windows. A great way to combat this and speeden up the fight is to make use of the heavy charged attack, which staggers her. I managed to kill her with 3 heals remaining. 

So in conclusion, the main tips I have for this game are: 

• to fix the attack animation inaccuracy in the first boss
• to increase the pg's attack speed 
• to increase the roll speed (and maybe slightly increasing the i-frames)

The fact that you made this in ONE month really amazes me. Potentially if you want to expand, also make a new area where Nalani fits in better (like a dojo or something) because you have the skills and creativity. I'd like to see more from you and who knows maybe we'll get the new Elden Ring?

This game is so good, but I feel like you shouldn't be thrown into the samurai boss straight after the knight, as 10 clay points is not enough. It could be for some people, but even some elden ring bosses are more forgiving that boss. 

I feel an easy way to help is maybe make the bosses an area that you go into to fight them and maybe there's a third non boss area with some simple enemies, that maybe 1 on every few give a clay point, and/or some money maybe to buy a better sword or smth like that?

Plenty of potential, but very unpolished. The rolls are janky, making attacks while running heavy is a bad design choice, the delay before you can attack after rolling is too big and the player's range is tiny. Those design choices turn the game into a strafing simulator

This game was amazing  but when i was fighting nalani there was a bug she so if she hits me she didnt do any damage she did nothing. overall this was a great game 10/10  

I finished this game two time and i can say that is very impressing considering that is made in only one month and by only one person.

Said that, i will do some critic about the combat system and a few mechanic that need to be included. The first boss, Grave Knight Bonart, is more balanced considering the roll and the attack speed, but the RANGE of the pg's sword is totally wrong, in fact the heavy attack is almost useless especially against Nalani. Also the iframe are not perfect with a lot of ghost hit. The reason why i consider Bonart better than Nalani is because he's quite easy when you master it, and you can beat it also tak

Nalani instead try to be a Malenia-Like, but is quite impossible to beat taking zero damage because of some of him combos that prevent you to dodge properly, considering also that the roll isn't chainable so fast, this fight is unbalanced also due to the difference between the two attack speed that makes difficult to stagger him without taking damage.

This fight made me miss a lot a shield and the parry mechanic, i hope that you will continue this project because i had a lot of fun playing it.

Super fun to play! The first boss seems a little too easy to me tho.

If you are doing the full version right now, here are two things I would love to see:

1. consumables (firebombs, molotovs, explosive clay chunks, something like that (The Backlogs would be very happy))

2. status effects (like getting wet of water attacks would make you take more damage)

Also, I was thinking that you can recycle the Bonart's design prototype by decreasing its size and making it normal enemy (Sir Bonart's footman, or something)

honestly really fun but no time to prepare and second boss is a little too hard

idk if its my controller but sometimes it would work and sometimes it doesn't but it gets stuck on the light attack or the heavy i cant do both sometimes i can and sometimes it doesn't let me 

This game is fucking awesome! Just finished the first boss after 4 tries (you can dodge the delayed attack by walking to the right and easily get 3-4 light hits) 

The best part about this is that its only boss fights (the best part about souls games) e´without the running simulator inbetween

Clay knight is peak

Its a great game I only wish light attacks actually worked

Px visai žaidimuks, bet žiauriai užpisa hitboxai. Boss net neatsisukęs arba nespėjęs trenkti prieš stunlock, bet magiškai padaro damage. Dar vienas trūkumas tai I frames, rollini ir net neišdodžina attacks (kaikurių). Charged attack beveik nėra progos panaudoti, nes bosses greičiau atakuoja ir nutraukia. Patvarkius būtų visai geras souls-like mini game.

good but the rolling janky and the lil dagger slow af

love the game but maybe change up the stamina, feel like it is hard to dodge roll and continuously attack. so i just stick to walking around the boss

love the game 

Game is great. Watched the video of you making it. I have never been able to fulfill my dreams of coding games since I don't have the money to afford a pc, but my windows 11 can run unreal engine pretty sure. Can't wait for your next little gamejam game!

Sword 10/10 - absolutle best weapon in videogames, this mighty one got best of the bests! This CANNON get the range and damage of shortiest of the dagggers and the speed of chonckiest of tthe great hammers!

I agree with a few other peoples complaints about the dodge roll. The i frames activate later in the roll than anticipated so you have to roll really early. I also encountered a bug on Nalani's 2nd half where i didn't take any damage. Fun game though, I'd love to see an expanded version of it :D
