I tried both version. First one cannot start, I have the blue screen issue. Second version just says "press enter to start". Pressing enter directly goes to first level. I don't see the main menu screen like on your screenshots. I'm lacking the "how to" section mostly to fully understand the game. In the description you talk about 2 weapons but I don't know how to switch. I also didn't know what crates were supposed to look like and it took me lots of time to figure it out by luck. I can read that the goal is to find a mini boss and defeat him to get his card in order to open the door. I don't see any special enemy, and sometimes I can just go through the door and be lost out of the screen (Details at the end). Sometimes doing so still brings me into the next level but at a very random position. As you already now, 3rd level cannot be completed.
I believe the arrows shouldn't be going through walls. This makes the level a bit meaningless as it it possible to clear all enemies without really exploring. Also I'm not sure why my character entirely disappears for one frame every time I shoot. I thought at first that meant that I was taking damage from some enemy or trap, it made me very confused. I see some special floor tiles where lasers turn on when stepping on them. But sometimes some normal tiles right beside magically turn into a laser tile. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a hidden trap or a bug.
I can honestly see that you made a lot of efforts to build a very good game. Good graphics, good music, good concept, good level design. Unfortunately it feels very wasted because the basic mechanics of the game are really unstable.
You are also very active and fix issues based on the comments. This is really good. I wish I could play a robust version of this game. If you release a new version soon, please tag me in the comments so I can come back and play it again.
Here are the steps to get the door bug :
- in first level, go down to the second room
- move along the top wall to the right until you hit the wall
- press down right direction all the way until you cross the door
From there you can either slowly move back and forth to trigger the door from inside of it (then you spawn in the next level inside the wall) or from outside of it (then you are not visible on the next level) Once your are outside of level 2, immeditatly keep pressing up and left, and you'll go through the level 2 end level door. You can again trigger the door from the other side and start level 3 outside of the screen.
