Thanks so much for all the feedback :) let me know your thoughts after you complete Roll City's content.
I think switching to have the text draw instantly might be worth doing, tbh. That would also prevent overflow issues, which can be seen by skipping unfinished dialogue too quickly...
Also, I did think about obfuscating undiscovered faces (I do this in BUMPERS & BROADSWORDS MAXIMUM) but that would be easier to do if I'd planned on it from the start (just because faking array style data is soooo much easier if you use all the memory addresses at the start). At least you can hold Up/Down to keep scrolling :P that wasn't a feature for quite a while...
Thanks for checking it out :) It's only on Windows right now because I don't have any other devices so any build would be untested. Though there is a port for linux handhelds if that helps - https://portmaster.games/detail.html?name=bnbmax
Love the fusion of genres here :) and little touches like the banners telegraphing enemy spawns. Wasn't expecting the first boss to just appear like that but it was a cool moment. Sometimes the art makes it hard to tell certain things apart if I have to be quickly reacting to positions of enemies & the fireball, but I managed. IMO a graphical overhaul would help you out a ton, something like this reference maybe
