Neon Abyss

I'm not usually a fan of rouge like games, but this was a  lot of fun. I love the  aesthetic, and the way it handled for the most part.  Jumping feels a bit weird to me, I'm gonna agree with those that are mentioning mid air control would be well appreciated.

My biggest concern though was the fact I would find spots that have a key or chest that are out of reach. Like I should have a double jump available to me. Not sure if there is an item that allows double jump, or it was an issue of the item spawning in a bad/unreachable place.

I also couldn't look at or change items/powers like the menu said I could. Might just be due to  this being a demo. 

So far I'm excited to see where this game ends up when it's finished.

After entering a portal i got this

OMG using right thumbstick to aim and shoot in the same time feel so good surprisingly ! But I think character falling speed is but too quick IMO, because sometime I want to do more maneuver in the mid air

Definately need discritpions of the items in the shop.   It's a good game, I wouldn't say epic though.  

holy crap man, this game is amazing, try to make it affordable though lmao, free would be absolutely amazing, would get alot of downloads since it is too, small indie paid games on steam dont go very far

i could definitely see this getting to popular on steam though

Made a video

I like this game, it's perfect. I would only add a description of the objects in the shop.

Been following you guys on twitter for a while. Game looks great!

Wow it so epic :0

other person:no its not its trash  

Me:i swear to god if you say another word... 

I have a big problem, I installed the game, and it seems to be so good, but when I open the game and enter to the gameplay, I can't see my character, I mean, I can to shoot, throw bombs, jump, everything, but I can't to see my character(I can't see any character), any solution friend Veewo? PD: I use itch.io App

I love the game so far but sometimes i have the bug that if I enter a new room i am disabled to shoot.

Holy crap this game looks so fun, could see myself playing it for hours.

when will it hit steam

Looks incredible, will it come to Linux?

Added to whishlist

So is this the end? no final boss in the map

Really enjoyed this :) 

This game looks so cool. I have two bugs to report:

1. if you keep w pressed after jumping the spacebar does not make you jump (mutex?)

2. Sometime when yuou die and restart the game, the first room is complitely black. If i go to another room just going left i enter the new room normally. If i go back to the first room again the game windows shows a strange moving landscape of the sea (wtf?). 

I go back to the second room again and this time i get stucked as there are no enemies but the exit doors are closed. So weird.

As aforementioned in my previous comment you can now see me bumble around this amazing roguelike. It’s not without it’s teething problems but the fact that it’s in an early development build must be considered.

For clarification the gameplay featured in this video is from the freely available build. I do however want to ask how is the influencer version different from the freely accessible version? Also is there a current stream embargo on this game as I wish to share the gameplay via Twitch and share the fun i’ve been having 😸

To summarise my thoughts however I will simply state a quote from my video:

‘If Neon Abyss isn’t on your radar it should be. If you’re not playing the Neon Abyss demo, you should be’

Just wanted to point out a few issues 1. you can still move during loading screens, doing this during a boiss battle can allow you to leave the fight,m the door reamins open, and if you hide in the doorway, the boss can glitch through the walls and be lost forever.

2. The Destroyer weapon is TOO SLOW and doesn't deal nearly enough damage to warrant the terrible firing rate, in addition to iut DEALING DAMAGE TO YOU.  It's literally the worst weapon. 

3. The coins required to enter a slot door need to be lowered, 5 coins a pull is too much considering you can do it upwards of 5 times, and sometimes you just get a chest with nothing in it. Not cool.

4. There's far too many objects you auto pickup,  and some require you to hit RB to pick them up. Why not have EVERY item pickup with RB? Sometimes I wanna see what the items are before I decide. 

5. Other than these issue, game is pretty good. Work on the loading screens, you cvan see your character in the previous area when moving to a new level, and during a boss fight this can cause a softlock issue.

6. " Press A to quit to desktop ( with controller ) WHY!? A is the ACCEPT button for MANY games, liek 5 times I've hit A to enter the game, and it closes. Please change that to something less likely to be hit? IOt's also B in the main pause screen, imagine getting to the end, and hittin B to exit the pause menu ( as most games do ) and it quits you to desktop.

7. retry in the option - needed.

thanks

THIS GAME IS A BLAST!! YOU SHOULD FINISH THIS GAME ASAP!! A question though, will this game be free or should it be bought like games nowadays? Just asking. I'll continue playing this and it works perfectly!! Keep up the GOOD WORK!! <3

Hey Guys i make a Gameplay Video of the Game (german) have a look. Deutsches Angezockt, schaut mal rein Leute.

I like the neon theme you got going on! Everything is looking good! Just finish the demo great game! That's cool you use Aseprite , I use that same program for art!

IT'S SO COOL!!!AMAZING GAME!!!   I've featured you on the homepage.

My computer automatically removed it because it had a virus in it

Pure awesome! I understand that this is a still in development demo, but damn is it good so far! There were a few platforms I couldn't reach and I have a feeling there's a double jump upgrade hidden in there somewhere, I just never found it. The art style is awesome, the music is fantastic, the sound design is heavy and impactful and the gameplay is spot on! The only two things I wish were in here were some kind of dodge, since heath can be a little scare and enemies like to bunch up on you, and the ability to check the effects of the items you have. Other than that, this is just so damn good!

Hi there! First of all CONGRATULATION guys, because this game is just amazing! It brought back so much good memories from games I used to play on Miniclip back in the days. The gameplay is just great, the music is DOPE! I love the different guns, and it's a really challenging game! Again Wow, keep it up!

It'll only be a day or two until you can watch me bumble around in your shifting labyrinth of a roguelite shooter but I just can't contain my need to let you know how good a job you've done with this. The feeling of finding gaming gems like this where the creators have obviously put in the time and have a passion for their project is exactly why I started doing indie gaming reviews and gameplay videos in the first place <3

This game is absolutely brilliant. It is everything that I have ever wanted; bullethell, action, dungeoncrawler, roguelite, everything, all blended perfectly. Everything about the game is just unbelievably polished and fun. To help you understand this game, I have created the following list of all things that are done perfectly:

- Music (OMG AMAZING)
- Items (Wow, cool)
- More items (How are there so many unique items?)
- Bosses (It's got animations, heaps of attacks and phases? Sign me up.)
- Graphics (And they nailed the graphics? HOW?)
- Enemies (What the hell is that thing... KILL IT)
- Unique generation (Hey, I found a seeeecret)
- The whole game (Where do I fault it?)

Also, just a minor bug report; when I entered a room, I managed to get stuck behind the closing doors that seal you in. I wasn't trying to get stuck, it just happened. I also got stuck in a room that closed doors, but didn't spawn enemies, so now I can't reopen the doors. 

Also, the slot machine door felt rigged against me... 

If anyone needs me, I'm gonna be playing this for the next few days.
