I think that a solidification mechanic could work! Maybe with a dehydration mechanic where you need water, and then the older nodes can "dry out" if you don't have enough, which kind of puts it in line with the whole fungus metaphor. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Thanks for playing my game! I would urge you to not consider yourself dumb based on this game, I haven’t yet been able to find any sense in it.
On art & music, I actually had idea for both from the onset, but all of my time got eaten by the actual gameplay code, so by the time that I could actually think about any of that I only had around 15 minutes left. Oh, well.
I’d be very confused if you actually managed to softlock yourself—death is not game over and impossible levels should be able to be regenerated. If you actually managed to softlock yourself, please tell me how you did that
As soon as judging is over, I’ll submit the build that I’m still working on. Right now it has textures for most of the enemies and a bunch of sound effects that generally help with understanding
My understanding of the movement of this game is that the ground is moving left but that's not counted in the player movement so you have to go really fast in order to outpace the ground and move right, which is why the jump is so weird.
The mood that this game sets is absolutely mesmerizing. Swimming in the first stage of the game is just so calm it's like sleeping. The mood of the second stage is, obviously, a lot less calm and it's a very fun recontextualization.
I kept flanking the squid for air bubbles (I already had enough air bubbles) and that was also very fun
Thank you! I'll put that in the description, and in the control panel thing for the post-jam version.
I've decided to not put what the shadows are in the description for, like, reasons, but my headcanon is that they're robots like yours that got hacked by some hooligans who hate the ads on the moon.
