you can recharge shields using the last powerup called "wtf???". that's a gradius reference. there's a shield powerup in gradius and it's called "?".
actually, i'm kinda sorry for making last two games. i made them as a form of coping through art so they're are just shitposts. the fact that it is somehow playable is a miracle. now i feel better so i'm planning to make an actual competent game, so stay tuned
looks like legitimately great cave story like game. i like this shield mechanic. also it's a very good idea to allows players to configure the battle settings. hyped to see full game
but i have one small personal complaint. imo J is a very bad choise for attack key. i think the classic layout (arrows + ZXC...) would make much more sence. i hope in full game it will be possible to configure controlls
overall it's a very cool boss. it was fun trying to figure out the patterns and trying to dodge them
imo some levels are too repetitive. and player charactes is kinda too small and too fast which makes some jumps harder than they should be. but despite of that this is a pretty nice game
nice game. grapnics is cute, music is calmful which fits this game. there are some glitches with collision, sometimes you stuck on corners or in the middle of one-way platforms but overall it wan't a bad experience. level design is good too: no stupid jumps or unfair enemy placement. good job
+ player sprite is adorable, good animations + gfx overall is pretty good + jump physics and overall controlls are nice
Now the complaints:
- no damage indication when you fight frogs - when timer runs out, nothing happens - error message when you move to the next level - seams appear between tiles - sometimes running animation keeps playing instead of idle animation - usualy it's Z - jump, X - attack, not vice versa, but that's not a big deal
I added the source code here so everyone can have fun. I call it cursed not because it's bad or something. I've seen worse and I wrote worse. It's cursed because of one variable name that appears multiple times in some classes and what it represents. I won't tell exactly what I'm talking about but if you find it you'll know
I made this mostly to play with WebGL, so I'm not planning to expand it. And source code is pretty cursed in some places so I don't feel like posting it. There are also some issues, like you have to launch it through the local server, otherwise textures are not loading (that's not my fault, that's WebGL thing). But if you want I can send you the source code
don't worry, it gets even harder after purple orbs puzzle. I think it's not clear, but just like brown boxes can push everything, purple orbs can pull everything. and you have to use this to solve a puzzle. also if you lucky you can find walkthrough on yt that I uploaded
