hello from somewhere else in the uk, well done for completing, 

i can't play due to my video card, but would have liked to. (i'm updating my pc next week)

i'm assuming Godot 4 won't export to html, or did you just chose not to. (not a crit, just asking so i can decide weather to move to G4)

cheers

Heya! Just chose not to; the desktop build is demanding enough, I imagine a web build would barely run on most computers. That, and Godot 4 web builds are a bit temperamental at the moment.

Great 3D modeling! The gameplay is very simple, but plays very well. The UI is also a nice minimalist touch to help with the tracking. Decent entry!

Impressive 3d models there. The normal maps are really cool. Nice game. It was fun to play and I enjoyed the mechanic through it was challenging. Not disappointed by the Morning Jammies Guy!

Very polished game! It was great to see your game evolve from your posts on Discord. Nice 3D work and the sound effects really help bring this submission home!

I found the keyboard a lot easier to control the game than the mouse and also ended up using the shadows to play the game instead of the physical objects as it was easier to perceive distance that way. I also noticed a possible scaling problem because the title screen’s buttons and the “Game Over” text was miniscule for me. Not sure if others noticed the same thing or not. I’m playing on macOS.

I noticed the scaling problem too, if I'm honest - I developed it on a 4K screen, so no excuse for me not fixing it. Just fell through the cracks as the deadline loomed.

And yes, the shadows are useful! Only problem is that it requires the projectiles be opaque, which made styling them more difficult. By the way, did you notice that you can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel? Zooming all the way out gives you a top-down view that should hopefully make things easier. (Or does that not work with a Mac mouse?)

No, I did not and just confirmed that it does work on my external mouse, thanks! I could not figure out how to do this on the laptop’s mouse touchpad though.

Thanks for playing! Was the problem that it was too sensitive? I implemented a last-minute sensitivity slider on the pause screen, so perhaps need to advertise that more.
