I really liked this and wanted to keep playing to see where the story led. The music and presentation were really heartfelt (it shows that a lot of care was put into making this)
Nice shooter! The horizontal moving metoers added another dimension to the game which I appreciated -> you not only had to look ahead for bullets but also look out for getting side swiped. lean into that aspect of the game!
Loved the visual effects. I could tell there was some kind of word + keyboard key association game (with some words in parenthesis). It wasn’t immediately obvious if I was doing good or not.
It reminded me a lot of the office work ediquitte that was depicted in Snow Crash. I could definitely see this as a fun experience for people that like games such as job simulator :-)
Loved the music and the general insane/panic inducing pace. I liked that trial and error / discovery (“you didn’t get any gems how ya gonna eat?!”).
the quick camera movement made it a little difficult to use the mouse to switch tracks, but it looked like there was some QoL machinery that switched the nearest track when you clicked.
Loved the concept! The idea of going into different directories and exploring around was a great idea. I really wish I could have pressed the start button though XD.
Loved the peaceful vibes. Also, lmao at the starting lore!
The terrain/dolphin color made it a little hard to see where I was (thinks kind of blended in). I couldn’t find any orbs. It looked like there was a switch at the bottom of one of the paths, but I couldn’t figure out how to activate it.
I liked the splashing effects when you jumped in and out of the water. Loved Echo the dolphin back in the day and nice to see another type of game in that genre.
Great music and lowrez usage! Aiming/gauging 3d perspective is a little tricky (it might be worth adding a drop shadow to the cannonball to help with aiming).
Note: The game doesn’t seem to work with Chrome on MacOS, but I was able to get FireFox working. On Chrome, the game seems to be stuck on the title screen. I hear sound effects when I press arrow keys and space, but nothing new renders.
Doing a simple flip changes the right handed sword wielder to a left handed sword wielder. Granted that it’s a common technique and not too noticeable.
Would pay an additional cost for left-facing animations. I was wanting to leverage this for a prototype but can’t use it fully because left-facing animations are missing.
It’s an immense amount of work I know. I’m open to commissioning this work to make it worth your trouble.
Making a fully functional code editor for Android is a ton of work.
DragonRuby is not a visual scripting engine like Construct or Bitsy. You need an application that is able to edit text/code files (such as Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text).
Would have made more sense to find bullets on enemies I killed. Ammo management wasn’t something I considered managing (it’s a good mechanic, just needs polish).
