Based on how the ball moves and that you're using godot, I'm guessing that you're directly manipulating the balls position instead of using velocity? You could try changing the movement code to something similar to this: velocity = (global_position - target.global_position).normalized() * delta * speed This should also let the ball interact with the environment more interestingly, with it for example being able to bounce. Hope this helps. Cheers!
This is probably a bit late, but mabye you could use a framework/library like raylib where you dont need to go super low level, but still avoid the patterns and principles game engines impose on you?
Much appreciated! It sadly ended up being a little short because of me only having finished a singular game in godot before this (which was the tutorial game in the docs) :)
Damn those visuals are good! All the shaders combined made a really creepy effect! Also, funny reference to the cave diving memes! The gameplay gets a little repetitive over time, but that's basically the only negative thing I got from this.
Thanks! I did actually make the camera four directional in the start, but removed later it for simplicitys sake. We might end up expanding on the idea, and if so I'll make sure to add that feature back! :)
This is so cool! Love the gameplay mechanics a ton! The audio design and pixel art is pretty impressive too! There is an issue where if you exit and re-enter fullscreen the game breaks (for me at least), and I'm struggling a bit to see the connection to the theme. Really interesting game though!
Really cool! The gameplay was very fun, i could imagine myself playing this game for a long while! The only real negative thing i found was maybe the flight audio getting a bit repetitive over time
Really love this!! Just watching how the game deteriorated together with the mind of the granddad over time gave off a creepy and sad vibe. Also props to you for managing to do all of this solo! I would love to see a web export for this game!
Thank you for the feedback we appreciate it a ton! The z layering system is a little chaotic due to bad planning, so some sprites don't layer correctly, but I'll try to get it fixed during the 48 hour period we get now to correct that stuff :) I sadly don't think it's allowed to fix the other bugs though.
