gameplay made me very overwhelmed and dizzy @_@ and why does fullscreen look like that. mystia looks cte though
hey this was slick. very good 0stRanger clone. Void Stranger was my goty 2023 so i appreciate this a lot.
I was tripped up a bit by the controls, though. My understanding is that if you hold slash, you get put into cycle of slashes for the duration you have it held, but it seems to inherit your place in the cycle from the last time, so if you just tap slash, you aren't guaranteed it'll come out, and if you hold it, the first slash will come out with somewhat inconsistent timing. This led to a lot of deaths for me. I think that if you tap the button, it should immediately do a slash, and then not abort the mode until the timer has run down to the frame of the next slash. c:
VOID STRANGER FAN FOUND LETS GO
And yes I did receive a few reports about the slash timing/cooldowns being inconsistent. And you are also kind of correct - both the shot and the slash have the same timer variable with different cooldowns for both, so it's very easy to be in a situation where the first slash won't come out immediately when you tap. I'm not sure how I can go about fixing this yet but I'd definitely put it on my list for when I want to re-implement this mechanic.
Thank you for playing!
aw yeah. mystia vs robots
at first i thought clearing bullets gave you points but i was wrong
i had heard some hubbub on discord about bladeless run so i did it
it was very cool both ways of playing, the patterns were surprisingly doable without clearing bullets
very flashy but the contrast makes the bullets always visible (although sitting in the bottom right makes it a bit hard to see mystia over the text!)
juice, very good. boullets, many. bird, she is there
and marisa with balls is awesome
> the patterns were surprisingly doable without clearing bullets
see this is what mildly surprised me! here I thought that I made it so that you'd have to use sword to make patterns doable. but turns out I did not do that hard enough! one day I will make it so you must use the mechanic to survive...
also ye only multiplier affects score. you build multiplier by killing enemies fast to keep it at 6.4x
marisa with balls is indeed awesome
thank you for playing!!!
this game is a banger
just the last marisa fight i felt it was so difficult to react to anything coming on the screen, but with enough lives i could pass through it.
amazing game
Really underrated game, hidden gem in my opinion! The music is nice, the controls are nice, gotta love shift z x layout for shmups. Very nice gameplay, intrigued by how the danger lvl works. Decided to try a run without using night slash and I gotta say I had a lot more fun than I was expecting! Felt like a Phantasmagoria game (which isn't a bad thing.)
It doesn't utilize the theme as much beyond just "bird char in game" and "flying," but beyond the detriments to the lack of further theme use and a story, it's a very nice game! Short and sweet.
