Yep! Everything built up using Godot Engine.
Hmm, some advice I can give is:
- Signals are an amazing way to setup triggers for your code. They can even be setup easily using the very Editor.
- Scenes are an impressive and easy self-contained way to design game objects, you can even inherit scenes to extend an object composition (for instance the bugs inherit the same basic_platform_character of the player, but I added some sensors to trigger the jumping)
- GDScript is easy af, you can learn the whole syntax in 2h, really
I think that's it, thank you for the feedback <3
Opa! Abraço do quadrado (DF :P)
Poisé, eu non fiz o design muito bem UIHAEIUAIUEHAIUHEIUAEHEUIA

Valeu pelo feedback <3

Thank you for the feedback! I'm very glad you liked it <3
Also, the secret to engine development is to ignore the bugs and just launch the features lol (trust me there were some bugs in mid of the development of the game heheh).
If your daughter like it, tell her (secretly) that we are working in this game for the whole month for One Game a Month jam (release May 5th)!

Thank you for the feedback! <3
I don't know why does a real person associate with an alpaca in your mind.
Inside Godot's community Juan Linietsky is known as Juan Alpaca (because of his avatars)! lol hehe
totally accurate representation of a dev cycle :)
It is! lol the journey of commiting while bugs drop out of nowhere, but stuff gets even worse when we merge branches...ohh that feeling :D
Yeah, unfortunately I didn't have time to a tutoring session, so...I needed textual instructions. Do you have any insights on how can I "instruct through gameplay"? Maybe when the bug appears there is a "KILL IT" label above, or something like that?
Also sorry about the loud volume, I forgot to send the enemies SFX to the right Audio Bus on the mixer :P just fixed it, but I'll add a BGM and SFX slider so that players can properly make their setup.
Thank you so much for the feedback <3

Thank you <3
Most of the environment were inspired by, but done from scratch, Godot's facebook header image, link below if you're interested :3

Yee! I thought using the mouse wouldn't be a nice design choice, especially because (if you see by the menu etc...) the game was initially designed for gamepads, but I couldn't think of a way to do the KILL THE BUGS mechanic work on them. Do you have any suggestions about it? I really don't have a starting point.

For controllers (or all-mouse), you could use picking up the bug as part of the mechanic. Tapping a different button or key could do damage to one of the bugs on you, and you'd have to spam that button/key to kill the bugs off of yourself.
I think I figured out something that may be interesting!
- Now the bugs can be removed by tapping the interaction keys (E/F)
- Bugs that are not attached to anything (console/Juan) can be stomped this includes the boss bug
What do you guys think? Now everything is on one input method only aaaaannnd....
We can add a coop/competitive game modes since now both players can simultaneously play.
