So... the first three levels are now easier in the sense that they're shorter than before. But there are actually more bullets flying all over the place, so they don't feel that much easier, and the later levels are significantly harder. You can still only get hit twice before dying, and there are so many more bullets now. Not only that, but have you removed the +1 bullet upgrade? Because that's the most useful one, and I never got one with this new update.
Short version: game's definitely harder now, and I still haven't gotten to a part that made me understand why it was submitted to a bondage game jam.
That's fair! It's similar frustration to the original Lost Vikings game that inspired this one.
I'll consider if there's a good way to get around that without breaking the core game design. I see the final level as a sort of "bad ending/good ending" scenario, but it's forcing players to get the good ending, which is an experience that could be improved.
Technically, they can travel as one at certain points if you can get the other two on top of the hogtied girl's box. But yeah, having to get all three of them to move separately was a crucial element of the original Lost Vikings, and I mostly kept it here.
I was sticking with the basic control scheme of the Lost Vikings, but if I do an upgrade later, I'll include other control schemes so that players can more easily switch between characters.
Also, I need to check on that heart pickup thing, because that sounds like a bug I missed!
That's good feedback! I could certainly include a bot at the beginning of that level that falls off of a platform so that your less likely to miss that detail.
The final level is a big jump in difficulty... if I had more time, there would have been a few more levels leading up to that final puzzle, but this was also the project where I took some big leaps in properly learning Godot, so that lost me some time.
That's odd. Are you using a Number pad Enter key? What OS are you on?
Also, pressing Enter to go to the next room only works if you're actually at the door. (I'm not sure if that's the problem, but I figured I'd mention it.)
Incredible style in this game. I'm horrible at rhythm games, so I doubt I'll ever beat the final boss, but you have me hooked with the vibes of it. Your visual and musical choices go a long way.
No, definitely not a dummy. The last level is a significant increase in difficulty (time was running short, and I wanted to give it at least a somewhat memorable finale).
LOL, I'm glad you liked it. My plans for the narrative side of things were far more in-depth, but had to be abandoned to fit in time for the game jam. It is what it is.
