This game is really funny, thanks mainly to the news overlay. However, the game just felt like a mindless clicker with very little challenge, but it was quite charming overall, nice game. Not the best, but not the worst either :)
@arya-s Thanks! I'll look into the variables later down the line, the jump felt to heavy before, because the character controller originally contained a double jump, so it felt rather limited with out it. I may've turned it up too high, jumps take a lot of tweaking, so I'll definetly be changing this in the future. I hope it wasn't too bad for you though, it feels okay for me. Thanks for the feedback :)
@emeraldboy44 I'd be lying if I said I knew how to fix that bug. Luckily the level is short, so it doesn't effect you too much
@tombuston Idk exactly what you are referring to, but I forgot to put the exit blocks in one level. In the future I'll make a proper tutorial, if that is your issue
@rhoff95 what exactly do you mean, I never encountered any problems? Also that frictions is there because there used to be wall jumps and sliding, but it wasn't properly removed and implemented, so I will fix that, thx for reminding me :) Can you share a clip of the second ledege, not entirely sure what you mean. I may change those colors, especially red later, but I made sure to keep it to a few core colors (Brown, Yellow, Red, Grey and Black) but the art will defo at least slightly change in the future. I may look at a pallete from Lospec, or modify a pallete Aseprite auto generated for me when I imported a screenshot.
@rhoff95 the game was I'll admit, not too well designed for the levels (I made it for a downwell style progression downwards) where these softlocks wouldn't of happened, but I do see your issue. I can't make it automatic because I wanted it to feel like you were drilling down on the thing (the screenshake would've helped with that) and the jump height is variable depending on how long you drill for. Something to think about for the future I guess.
@skye-s thanks for your feedback :) I will probably change and simplify the pallete in the future, and the physics too. That is because originally there was walljumping, but I didn't have the time to properly remove it, so that'll be a simple fix. Thanks for telling me about it though!
@dergamer I didn't point this out in game, but you can use R to restart. I'll add this to the page now, and the game will, alongside the screenshake update and physics fix, get added to the description
@witekwitek thanks for the feedback :) 3. I can't really make music, but I wanted to do compo, in the future I will learn, but I cannot do it right now. 4. I was going to have a rogue mode which was similar to downwell, but it was too buggy to be included (coming soon tho, so keep your eyes peeled :D)
@dk5000p it'll be neither actually, and more of a roguelike like downwell. Thanks for the feedback, and I will probably do some stuff like that in the future.
@noel-widmer thats odd. It is linked in my Twitter Bio
@shaolin-dave these issues are there because the builds are unsigned. There are ways to fix it, because they work fine for me. Look how to fix “This file is damaged and should be removed fix” it will have an answer to the problem
@tomz-best mm, I found out that I didn’t actually set up W or Up to work, oops.
@simpathey I already know I need to overhaul them, it’ll be a large point of focus once I get the Rogue mode bug fixed.
@lakshyaisagod please stop cheating! You leave fake reviews. I thought maybe you were being nice when you rated my game 5/5, but then I checked itch.io and I still had no downloads. Please either A.) Play my game and leave feedback, and change your review or B.) remove it.
hey! This build is a windows exclusive, sometimes people do this, but Unity doesn't magically produce three builds, there is an option there somewhere you have to toggle, hopefully you can fix this before the end of the jam :)
Pretty nice game overall, but to me it feels like you turned flappy bird 90 degrees and removed gravity, and in it's place added guns, so it wasn't inventive. And the controls were a little stiff for my liking, espcially considering you are falling ever downwards, I feel like the controls would be a little different to what they are
