Ruin Valley Demo

Is Ruin Valley coming to Steam?

is this game still alive in development?

Who's this main character? I like their sprites!

Love this game, pls continue.

This demo is pretty sick, but I think the dungeon it takes place in does it a disservice. It's only gray and purple. From the GIF I saw on Pinterest (WIP snake boss), and the little secret area in the dark maze which gives you a glimpse of the outside world, the art style can and is a lot more varied in other environments.

Might just be me being a stickler for graphics, but I'd say it would be better were you to make some of those wooden background details in the dungeon brown instead of purple. And add some ivy around the place. Probably wouldn't have gotten very far in the demo had I not seen the aforementioned Pinterest GIF.

--WAIT THIS WAS LAST UPDATED IN 2021 LMAO.
Dude are you making the next Hollow Knight? Well, I'll be keeping an eye out for if this ever does get released, regardless. Godspeed.

muito otimo trabalho.. aguardando ansioso o game completo... gostei muito

It’s a very enjoyable demo with super refined platforming mechanics. I often find that controls kill my enjoyment with a lot of 2D platformers/Metrovanias, but I always felt in control when playing.

My only issue was the horrific framedrops I experienced in the latter half of the demo. I don’t know if there’s a memory leak or it’s due to larger rooms with more enemies/coins, but I would get frequent drops to single digit frame rates when platforming. I managed to power through the lag, but only because I knew there wasn’t much left.

I found the game very enjoyable to play, the sprites are very fluid and very beautiful, even though it is very simple that it is not a problem, the gameplay is amazing, when I was playing I did not see the time go through the gameplay being well done and very good to play, in my game play the only thing that bothered was LAG,

Sometimes the game gave some beautiful choking, leaving the gameplay slow, but taking it out, the gameplay was very good, I will be waiting for the full version

Wow! The animations are truly insane! Congratulations! This Metroidvania looks really promising. The gameplay is fluid, and the feedback seems great too. I would suggest being more demanding in the platforming sections. With invulnerability frames, it's easy to bypass many challenging parts. Maybe consider bringing the player back to the last "on-ground" point? Can't wait to see this on Steam :) Good luck!

Amazing game. I'm never too hooked on most metroidvania games, but this one had me finishing it on one sitting. I'll gladly wait for the full game, congrats on making it!

COOL!!!!!!

omg what a blast that was. I loved everything about this one. From the art style to the fast gameplay. i must say, the dev really out did themselves here. Everything was perfect...I really hope they finish (full game) it one day. This was so much fun. the mc felt so smooth to control. Many games can't get that great smooth feeling nowadays. So i was shocked..Once more :) you really out did yourself mate.

Art, this is art

wow, this was amazing and just so much fun! I love the system and how easy it is to play and get the hang of, If i had the money to donate I would've, highly recommend :}

smooth asf, gamepad support didn't work tho

I am curious if this game will have an update at any point. Just want to know if we might be able to anticipate a full release

controlling smooth like megaman zero

This is such a hidden gem! I'm really hoping we will get more update about the game.

I love this!!!! The movement is so nice, it felt really great! The sound effects are also really nice!!!!!

actually amazing, the movement felt so familiar, yet unique!

Wow !!!

This was really good!  The controls were perfect.  Can't wait for a full release!

Great game. Feels so good to play. The character's physics and moves feel so smooth and nice, better than Hollow Knight!

I also love how all the movement options were available at the start. Too many games these days make you unlock everything, up to and including a double jump. Makes the first chunk of most games very boring. Not this one though.

Sad to think we won't see this developed more, since no updates from 2021. Either way, I had a great time with it. Good work.

When is it gonna get updated? I beat the demo a few months ago, and I really loved it. I really look forward to more, so keep up the amazing work!

Artwork is gorgeous and the game feels very nice so far. Keep up the good work!

This feels so good and I'd love to see more of it in the future.

Short and sweet! Glad to have stumbled to this page!

Great start! Some of it feels a bit slow, and attacking enemies from above doesn't really bounce so it hardly feels worth the risk, but I see tons of potential for a game right up my alley.

Any plans for the steam release?

Great game, I loved the gameplay, precise controls and super addictive exploration. congratulations!!! I hope to achieve controls in my game as precise as those in your game!

Hi! I'm a writer for GameRant and wanted to let you know that I've included Ruin Valley in an article on the best platform games on itch. I've included the article link if you wanted to give it a read, or you can find it on my twitter @Nyah_Payne. Had a blast playing! I really hope to see this made into a full game! You can bet I'll play it! Your demo well deserves its top three ranking alongside A Short Hike and Celeste! https://gamerant.com/itchio-best-platforming-games/

The game is really good.
The movements,sound designs,and especially the animations but the only critisism i have is the design of the map, it looks so flatty which in my opinion doesn't fit too well with the character, but overall great game!

Why is it that if I quit and then reload my dagger is suddenly gone? There doesn't seem to be any way to get it back either. If it weren't for that I'd say this game is lots of fun. The movement is very well done, the level design is good. I just wish I could have played it more than once. Kinda hard to continue without a weapon...

Edit: It wasn't that the dagger was missing, but that the keybindings seem to have arbitrarily changed when I loaded my game. Weird, since I had them set to default to begin with. Nobody else seems to have had this problem, and when I customize the keybindings, quit, and reload they are just how I left them, so I can't seem to replicate the glitch. One time thing I guess?

love it so much! so excited to see a full game!
