I cannot do anything except walk around. I've tried walking around all the edges and pressing all the keys. At one point a random key I pressed caused the character to disappear and a zombie to go across the screen. Is there something I'm missing?
Same as above
Yep! Ditto to augustcoder
Couldn't really do much, but the overall art and stuff seemed nice! Maybe a little more time would've fixed the bugs...
Same as above, if you fix the bugs I'd be happy to give it another try
oops the l looks like a I in the post the L key would be how you go to the next room also the game takes the direction your going in (up down left right) if you are going in two direction before you enter the room it does some weird stuff
@augustcoder, @therealmoebius, @mopifish, @lomstfer, @chartle.
Okay, so it took a bit of digging around in the gml code, but it turns out the secret is that you need to press yourself up against one of the walls in the room and press 'L' to transition to the adjacent room. Screenshot 2022-04-07 213154.png
@aes1 I like the art and the frantic running of the little green aliens when I entered a room. It gave me a jump the first time as I wasn't prepared for them to immediately start running at me! :) I also liked how you saved that a room had been cleared so I didn't have to defeat a room over and over again. I think having some instructions in game would be beneficial. Regardless we've all been in your shoes with just starting out with game jams and game dev. Keep it up, good first job!
Alright, thanks to @mike-baldwin for tagging me on this game and explaining the controls. Revisited this game. I understand the game mechanics now, and it is fairly challenging. However, the game is in a bit of a rough state right now. I'm sure this could be turned into a great game given a few more days. Also, I didn't hear any audio. If you don't want to be scored in the audio category, you can opt out of it in the game submission. Also, I think you should add in the missing L key instruction into the description. Also, Markdown tip, if you want a new line instead of text on the same line, add two spaces at the end of the line.
