Nice simple game, though the joining together behavior seems a bit inconsistent with how it looks like they should work possibly. I may be misunderstanding it but i cant figure out exactly how it behaves
Edit: Oh they merge when there the same box at each of its ends
Visually a great clone, play wise its rough such as throwing has a bit too little force especially compared to super hot but still the main time feature works quite well :D
PRAISE THE ALMIGHTY SPACE WHALE! Also is that your face? xD
Sometimes you can phase through the tiles as well as when you jump and you are travelling back down it you will only stop falling (I assume you are adding velocity rather than setting it or something else is going wrong) but it feels weird from how games usually do double jumps.
I love how interacting with menus is typing and how the level's keys get pushed in when you press them on your keyboard, I would suggest possibly changing the menu interaction to typing it out and when it hits something not there resetting the typing because i ended up typing retry a lot but having to press r again to turn it back on again because to retry you technically need to type rety.
Well made graphically, it gets repetitive quite fast seeing as the enemies only attack the center you can just fly in circles shooting all the time and seemingly never die.
The cat AI is perfect but dragging to look is nasty xD I get why you did it though
The game looks great but the ball, not sure if it supports it but the panel for my vr started up but ive not got it plugged in.
@kierkle do you mean auto firing by holding down the button or something different? If so then I had an idea to add that but forgot to add it in as we were working on other features. Ill add that when I upload it to gamejolt which I may do in the next few days but I will probably wait a week so I can finish some features off on other projects.
@team-trout I found that after when we were testing that it was because how the AI almost forces its way into you but trapping yourself and getting out was part of the reason we added the energy bar, well that and to keep the player in the action more.
I have a lot of plans for the game for if I continue which includes new features, enemies as well as I had some ideas for bosses. We were thinking of doing it as a wave system but due to my unfamiliarity with unity I was a lot slower than I had wanted to be on some of the features :(
@hexiez123 we didn't have enough time but if people like it I will be adding power ups, change the enemies to sort of waves (just tweaking their spawning rate and settings as the game goes), add more variations of enemies and sometimes bosses or just more powerful enemies spawning.
@matt-tuttle surprisingly the camera was even more zoomed in to start xD Looks like I didnt move it far enough out :P
@mrjorts the thoughts I had were details such as increasing the block sizes like @kbjwes77 suggested because that would make it easier to aim as well as moving the camera further out.
One idea I wanted to show off but of course we didn't have the time was possible bosses which add to the puzzle idea. Such as having to absorb an enemy to get through a shield which is colors in different places and other special enemies that show up. There were a lot of ideas and I was quite into the idea I had behind this game once I had thought of it. Maybe to get better for a future gamejam I will continue the game for practice :smile:
There doesn't seem to be a way to exit the game after you have opened it, also Thanos gets 1 hit? What magic is this!
