Haha Cool! This art style made me recall an old game called River City Ransom. And I like conversation and story which contain lot of game dev know elements and can really into the game.
I honestly really like it, and for me it was very nicely designed:D Maybe a bit rough in terms of difficulity (one hit kill at the beginning?) but honestly, you could save anytime, so the game actually allows you to counter every disadvantage. Awesome
I don't know if I completed the game, or met a bug, as I read the game is actually a bit broken: I beat the boss (kudos to the cool hitboxes! xD) I pressed space, turned upside down and... seems like I can do nothing more, I'm on my head. Its the end? I can't reverse, etc. EDIT: Okay no, its still going on. After the cube boss I got gravity, but it stopped working after death. I understand this is the end.
Yeah, the game is definitly broken as of now since the plot of the game ended up as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Currently if you fall on your head it can softlock the game (I ran out of time and couldn't find a way to quickly fix this problem). There are only three bosses in the game, so if you beat the box boss you basically beat the game so far. I was planning on making the whole "who are you" question the methood for selecting difficulty, but wasn't able to implement it, so the difficulty is basically stuck on hard.
I'm glad you liked the game despite how buggy it was!
So, Just throwing this out there for people who may be having issues. You can trade weapons if you talk to the shadey guy again. Also, for better or for worse, the textbox pushes the player upwards.
Just as a quick warning: PLEASE save the game if you don't want to sit through the intro every time you die.
Too many bugs, the games unplayable ^^ I think I got to the end? I got gravity and the guy says take a break? I even went back and got the arrow after the gust room using gravity ability. Very funny game I enjoyed playing it :)
So, funny thing is, the game was actually broken. I went ahead and fixed some of the issues so there should be less now. Sorry for the pain.
Also, yeah thats the end. All you missed was a single boss that didn't load in properly.
Really cool ideas, mechanics and premise! But I have to agree with the people who said this was extremely difficult. Could not get too far even with the ability to save almost anywhere
