@sean-park Glad you like the map :smile: There technically IS an ending (after you return 15 blood to the Heart) but we ran out of time to make it interesting, it's mostly just a "I actually did it" thing. Went back and forth on whether to have an ending or just focus on getting a high score and time dictated we go with the one we had started to code.
@rednaxelus It IS pretty hard, I haven't actually won the game :face_palm:
@trexxak Yeah, we definitely needed to do something different with some combination of the spawns/time limit/ending. I was tweaking it right at the last minute but decided to just consider it finished lest I break it at the last minute.
@lamossus Thanks, and I agree on all three of your points. Maybe if we'd had some shortcuts back to the beginning we could ameliorate those first two. As for the ending, we just ran out of time. I was thinking about what to do for the ending the whole weekend but it kept getting pushed back till it was literally the last thing I did right before I uploaded the game so it ended up kind of shit. Others have suggested that we should've just gone with a high score approach and I think that probably would've been the right answer for our first jam game and first game in this engine instead of thinking we'd have time to make some super cool ending on top of everything else.
Thanks for the feedback! :smile:
@westmave There is technically an ending, but it just...ends. We ran out of time to make anything satisfying :/ In retrospect we should’ve just made it a high score type thing.
