NAFFTA: SET THE STEPPES ALIGHT

Equipped with fire-rockets from a far away land and arrows tipped with naffta, an adventurer burns his way through the steppes. Is he there for a reason? Or is he just passing through...

GUIDE

Please do not read the following unless you really can't figure out how to beat the boss. The game is meant to be played through trial and error.

Here's how you beat the game:

  1. Follow the burning trees, which will lead over a mountain, and that's where you'll find the colossus.
  2. To kill the colossus, shoot both the red banners on his arms with your fire arrows. Once both banners are lit, his health bar will turn red to indicate that he is vulnerable.
  3. While he is vulnerable, shoot him with as many rockets as possible before his health bar turns gray again. Repeat step 2 and 3 until he is dead.

a really neat game but is there anyway to actually dodge the laser the Colossus shoots?? Iv tried zig zagging and outmaneuvering it but it feels like no matter what the beam moves way faster than the player can react

Thanks! It's not meant to be very hard to dodge the laser, and most people seem to be able to dodge it really easily, but if it helps, the colossus always aims at a figure-8 with the player at the intersection point.

Hey heyyy, I loooove this. I'm honestly surprised nobody has tackled a low-poly Colossus-like before. 

I couldn't see your Twitter linked on your profile or anything - feel free to delete this haha, but any way I can contact you for a maybe cool thing related to this project? ryan@superraregames.com

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've sent an email your way

nice

This is awesome!!!! although im not sure how to kill the colossus, do i just have to hit it enough times with the firework?



 

Thanks a lot!! You kill the colossus by (SPOILERS) shooting the two red banners on his arms with your bow to light them on fire. Once the banners are lit, he will take damage when you shoot him with a rocket. His health bar will turn red when he's vulnerable. Good luck!

ok so, a bit more of an in depth review now that ive familiariesed  myself with the game more, might edit when i manage to beat it, i came super close once and then got vaporised 

The art is gorgeous, i absolutely love pixel art and this game looks fantastic! the horse model is great and its fun to see it under you.          watching the trees and bushes set alight is awesome, and the firework is epic to shoot off into the distance. It does sort of look like a jousting pole which is cool to pretend youre charging into battle.

 the movement is great, although there is one problem, you can go way faster backwards than forward, which leads to a bug  where if you go backwards fast enough up a mountain, you can start flying, i one time managed to fly past the world and was just stuck there. also going down a hill normally will sometimes cause the horse to look like  its infront of you and youre just floating behind it

the archery feels great and timing shots right to hit bushes and trees is super satisfying.

the boss battle is really engaging and running between its legs and then firing a shot to hit the banners feels great! although i do have a question, is the fog intentional? it sometimes gets pretty frustrating to know if you hit the banner or not as you sometimes cant really see it. 


also one more thing, i found a card or something near a tree and was wondering if it had any use or if i have something special in order to do something with it? 

i've been waiting months for this day.
