Thank you for giving Kroom a shot!

There is certainly a difficulty to the game, but it was balanced around being able to complete it without death.

We were inspired by the original Doom, sadly the corridor segments had to be cut from the jam release alongside two other weapons and a melee. 

The gun takes out every mob enemy in 3-5 hits depending on type and bosses take 25-35 hits to go down on the main stages depending on boss.  

The Shiori fight doesnt telegraph the emchanic as intuitively as we thought, it will be corrected post jam. o7

Thank you for playing Kroom!

The Shiori fight was sadly not as intuitive as we thought, it will be rectified post jam. We couldn't add more enemies on that stage because we didn't have time to improve performance when too many ai are present.  Currently its s little breather before stage 5 where Shiori shines imo.

Thank you for playing. o7

Thank you for playing our game!

We tried to make the game hard but still satisfying once the player elarns how to defeat each boss. We are glad you liked it :)

Thank you for trying out the game!

Those two things are sadly bugs.  Biboo's bug only leaves the effect up, it doesn't damage. The shiori bug on stage 5 happens when you defeat Mococo before Fuwawa. I always went for Fuwawa on the stage 5 test so i didnt catch the bug before the grace period ended. 

Thank you for the review!

Biboo's attack locks on when the last cut is made and a hilting sound marks when its safe to come out. It is blocked by LOS if you get in cover before it locks on, sadly we had no time to make it lose lock if you get in cover afterwards.

Shiori cannot be defeated by only hitting the enemies, she has a trick to defeat her in the "Tips if stuck" menu, but it's true that Shiori's mechanic is not as intuitive as we thought it is.  A little extra trick, if you dont have time to kill the shooting ones when aiming for the "trick" you can focus on killing the novelknights and leave the shooting ones alone if you can dodge them.

Thank you for the review :D I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you for trying it out and for the review :D

Stage 5 is pretty hard, i balanced it around what is barely doable but still doable to me, but i can die on it too. I'm glad the team insisted on making a normal mode option too because originally it was a one life game.     

The feedback sadly had to be left out because we ran out of time but it was planned. There was an impact particle effect too but it caused a one time stutter on first shot so we omitted that too.

Thank you for trying it out again :)

The dash was a new addition in the update. It was necessary for stages 3,4 and 5 and also  made gameplay more fun.

The "Tips if stuck" Menu has pointer how to beat Stages 1-4.  Stage 5 is a bloodbath but it's an optional stage. (Also beatable)

Great review o7

Hello! Thanks for the comment!
We updated the game with a bunch of things, including a functiunal but slightly worse performance web build

Some of these things are fixed now whiel others were out of scope sadly. :D

I hope you give it another try. ;)

Hello! We updated the game with the grace period update, and now its in a way better place :)

Is is a pretty big game. It stutters at time from the amount of assets loading when certain attacks happen.

For optimal experience we recommend using the desktop builds.
I apologize for the inconvenience, we only managed to revive the web build half a day before the end of the grace period.

Thank you. :)

The grace period update is live, i hope you check out the game again. 

Some parts had to be disabled/omitted so players can make it trough until stage4. Please only rate it after we fixed those parts during the grace period.  ♡

Thank you very much for waiting! We fixed most issues , and vastly improved the player gremsperience. You are free to demolish the game :D

This is a Bethesda certified release build. Please wait until the grace period is over <3
Thank you
