I beat the boss but wasn't sure about what to do next, so I teleport back but couldn't do much more than just beating him again. Maybe I missed something ?
I liked your take on the theme though, and beat two very differents bosses, with more content and maybe stuff that really changes the boss, It could be fun. I was eager to find what the gold part was but I guess I'll never see :D
Great job anyway !
Hey, thank you so much for playing and for the comment! It means the world to me!
This is an accurate play through. Most of the game was built as a foundation with much more planned for player abilities, upgrades, and attacks upgraded in a rogue lite manner but I ran out of time (Sorry! 😟).
The glyphs each represent a different boss ability when rolled, this allows for each boss fought to have different combinations of abilities ensuring battles are not all the same. (Ended up with 7 unique boss abilities due to time, but the game was built with modularity in mind so adding more is super easy. For instance, I was able to add 4 just in the time crunch on the last day of development while mainly focusing on other things that day.)
As far as the gold, after grabbing the food that drops in the middle of the dungeon after beating the boss, and you've returned to the wheel room, you can press 'T' to teleport back to your home and sell the food by pressing "Enter" next to the laptop. (The old chef mentions this in one of his dialogue lines, but maybe I should have repeated this again elsewhere, sorry for that)
Also, the gold amount is actually saved, so you can exit the game and come back with your save later. However, if you die during the boss your gold is reset to zero. So, the game's goal ended up having to be a high score for gold in arcade style.
Thanks again for playing, and I hope this response helps clear some things up! ( I guess I need to get better at instructing the player on game mechanics in my games 😂)
Ha ! Thanks for the in depth answer. No it was pretty clear I had to go back with the teleport, I think I just missed the food in the boss room :) I did take a look around before teleporting though. I'll try to do it again if I have time, to see what I missed.
And yes player progression would be super cool indeed. Obviously you did already a lot in a week, we all make compromise ahah.
For the progression it makes me think that something along the Sol cesto progression could be nice. Gold you have to get abilities during the run and gold you save for meta progression. Anyway great game !
