came to ask about this again since In the Dark 2 was able to be released digitally here recently. Fingers crossed you have a similar contract timeline and can release it soon.
definitely an improvement, although it still feels a little off since you still need to press a direction first. So if you read a sign and finish, then try and read it again by pressing interaction, it instead switches the song. Also, all interactions should be the same so now the doors are confusing because they still require holding the direction + interaction button.
On another note, any hints for the Cerberus puppy room? I pulled him into the fire but the door never locks. He also doesn’t seem to respond to the sleeping song.
I like the concept but leaving the music during the rhythm sections is distracting since it’s not synced.
Also not sure if it was an issue with my flash cart or Chromatic but the audio was really distorted the first time I played, but it was ok after restarting.
Cool I’ll try it out. As for why I said it was weird, I guess I’m comparing to Zelda which seems like the closest comparison, where the A button is an action. Either using an item/attack or to read or interact with an object.
the controls are a little weird. Took me a bit to figure out you needed to hold a direction and press a to read the signs. Why not just have A be interaction since select already switches between songs?
now that I knew about defend and the dash I was able to get much further. But does the game end after the yellow bubble boss right now? Seemed like I beat it but then got a game over screen.
didn’t work on my everdrive clone (as expected). But just to make sure, can the text files stay in the folder in the pack and have the same relative path? Do they need to be on the root? Or in the same actual directory as the gb file?
any hints how to unlock this door? This floor is brutal. I don’t see any more chests to unlock or things to light with a torch, and all the flame switches match the colors at the entrance.
this is a great interpretation of the core mechanics and really fun to play through. I couldn’t figure out how to trigger the boss encounter though. She just stayed in the upper right corner facing away and didn’t respond to the light or vacuum. She was still able to hurt me though when I got too close.
I really liked it. It had great mazes and I’m looking forward to using the editor. Wish there was more music variety though. Turned the volume down pretty quick.
Just tried it out on my Chromatic and it feels great. The ball physics are great for GB Studio. And I like the deceleration on the car when you stop/change direction.
