Thank you, and I agree about the increasing difficulty. I managed to get overall game difficulty levels in, and the purpose was to control difficulty on each part so I could get the exact escalation you're talking about. It was a bit risky so late in the game, as I didn't want to risk somebody going from entry level to impossible after one component! :D
Thank you. I'm never certain on button allocation. I'd check more games later to find a kind of common layout, also for the keyboard. Then add a config screen. Then definitely more bosses will come later, as I think I'll keep developing this.
I couldn't develop the story too much in the jam, but if I expand it, the idea would be you discover this abandoned forge of a legendery viking, and retrofit it to fix robots, or something like that. ;)
Thank you. For the reverse snowball I had planned to increase the difficulty level, since all the individual components can be more dangerous -- though I'll also look at adding additional attacks.
A good game with a quick tutorial and nice implementation of the exchange mechanism. I appreciate how each loadout creates a different fighting style. This would be interesting to see developed further.
Thanks. Yeah, I don't think the keyboard is ideal. It's on my post-jam list to survey other platforming games with similar mechanics and find a better default layout.
There is keyboard support: A,D left/right and , . (comma, dot) for hammer and jump. By the labels on the gamepad image it shows the keys as a reminder. No mouse support -- there's no aiming either.
