There are no intructions in game or on your itch page. I dont know if the signs are supposed to tell me anything. Whats the point of switching weapons? No feedback for player health (hearths, health bar). No map. So far all I know is pressing e to pick up a weapon and left clicking to "shoot". Every shot feels the same regadless of weapons.
Decently gameplay, but at this point, not fleshed out. Last bug -> pause doesnt seem to display any sort of menu, though its trying to?, and when spamming pause, it starts glitching the pause on jump.
Overall this would be a 3/5 in its current state, with lots of potential. I am pretty sure I am missing out on some of your gameplay, but you never explained what I am supposed to do. Please add decent UI.
Unfortunately, due to using github for version control, I lost the tutorial. And due to last minute bugs that almost resulted in not submitting at all, I couldn't get the quit to menu button in. The sign does more damage, but the barrel has more knockback btw. Thanks so much for the feedback, it's really helpful! :)
Free rating !!
nice game.
This was really fun! The concept is really cool and the controls are pretty smooth! Picking up the sign to use as a weapon instead of actually reading it was really funny, I love it!
I wish there was a health bar though, I was anxious to know whether I was at half health or close to 0 the whole time! Is there an end to the game, by the way? I don't think I reached it, but it was still really fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I would have liked to implement a health bar and health pickups, but unfortunately ran out of time. There is an end to the game actually, it's right at the beginning of the game, at the ledge you can't reach. I probably should have put some environmental elements there so you would remember it lol. Thanks for the feedback :)
