I'm a bit lost playing this one. Gave it 20 minutes or so, but didn't come across any metroidvania upgrades or jump button. The way I figured out to play it is to build speed and then launch off slopes at angles to reach new areas. Not sure if that's intended, but, at some point, I couldn't progress anymore. Perhaps I missed something.
Hovewer, you guys did a great job at setting the scene. It looks and sounds quite nice !
Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere!
Launching off slopes is the way to go, before unlocking the jump. I wonder how we can make that clearer? ｢( • ﾍ •)
(Spoiler!) The Jump upgrade's in a tricky to reach spot a little after the 8th island. It has a big beam into the the sky coming off it.
Around where was the dead end? I hope it wasn't a softlock I missed. (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
Thanks for playing!
Alright, I replayed this following your comment and I got through to the end.
I had a lot more fun the second time around because I understood the game more (it's more of a linear platformer where you get upgrades than a metroidvanie).
It has two main issues imo:
- It's really hard to figure out where to go. Most jumps you make feel like they are unintended but pretty much all of them are intended lol.
- It's a bit too unforgiving in places. Having more guide rails would help some players from dying and maybe help guide them too.
I had fun overall though.
