The platforms in caves reminds me of Terraria :) Too bad this didn't get further along. The falling mechanic is difficult to work with, though, because you have no idea how far a fall is going to be before you jump. I tried to hug the walls when falling, but sometimes I just picked the wrong side and died just from bad luck.
Really big cave system, though, would like to see more :)
Thanks for the feedback! Maybe in a future version I will add wall sliding to do controlled drops. To help with the blind falling and all. :P
Shame this didn't get further, looks like it'd be interesting game.. love the switching to rats mechanic. Good luck with continuing.
Controls are a bit iffy, and the bullet/rat collision detection is flawed. A lot of the time it looked like bullets were hitting a rat, but nothing happened. Still, a nice start.
Couldn't really get into this one, clunky controls and lack of in-game instruction/purpose. I ran about for a while, and then died (i think) after falling too many times. Looks like a cool game idea, but only if you had more game s:
A few people mentioned clunky controls. Can anyone elaborate on what felt off? Was it the responsiveness or the button choices or the physics or something else?
Again thanks all for the feedback so far.
I didn't use the body switch to reach the end of the level. There is a good idea which is not exploited... It's a bit sad. I think you could make an interesting game if you continue the development further (doing a better use of the switch mechanic)
Nice attempt. Diggin' the potato-headed main avatar.
Great start to what could become a fun game. Controls felt a little slow to response almost like there was tiny delay on it. Cheers
