What a delightful game! Great style and charming music. Played all the way through and enjoyed it.
Looks like this is made with some version of ZGB?
Thank you so much bbbbbr! I really appreciate your comment and I'm so glad you enjoyed the demo! 😊 Yes, it's built with ZGB, but I had to modify a large part of the common files to implement the multidirectional infinite scroll system and everything that comes with it regarding enemy and item respawning. It was a tough job, but it was essential to bring this project to life.
When I first achieved infinite scrolling, the game ran really slowly. Collision detection was being pushed to its limits, and I had to sacrifice a lot of collision checks each frame to keep things running. That's why collisions may occasionally feel a little slippery. But thanks to those optimizations, I managed to get the game running smoothly again. I'm very happy with its current performance.
And yes, ZGB is an amazing engine 🙏
