I just reviewed my weapon stats sheet, and you are right, not sure how, but the weapon stats aren't what they should be. Last weapon should deal the most amount of DPS since it can not be controlled that much. Horizontal and Vertical attacks, however, they are the core generic weapons, so they should deal enough damage. The horizontal (2nd) wasn't the same as the vertical in the sheet for some reason, now everything is updated.
"To the dev: consider showing the change in health on the NEXT 4-tick interval instead of the PREVIOUS one."
That's interesting, and I didn't think about it, and I like it better than the current implementation. Luckily my system already predicting the possible damage, so this is an easy implementation.
Thank you for the feedback! Hopefully will update the demo within the next 2-3 weeks, with unlocking new area and mechanics.
Maybe I need to replace the crown with a skull instead? and add like evil VFXs, I will think about it. And I will work on tutorialized gameplay and update the game, hopefully soonish.
You lose the game by reaching 0 health. The red bar is the health bar, which decreases every 4 ticks (overtime) depending on how many keys spawned. Special/Elite keys do considerably more damage, so you need to kill them fast.
The game is about collecting XP orbs, upgrade your weapons (the tool bar in screen bottom), and survive for around 30 minutes (where all keys are destroyed).
There’a known issue that left behind because honestly I thought player will not reach them yet. Like you mentioned the weapons issues and end game part.
Regarding the mushroom level, it’s actually almost done, and what left is just some polish and SFXs, is was planned to release with this demo, but I’d timeline to stick with it, so I couldn’t ship it. Around 2-3 weeks I will upload new update, which should make the mushroom level unlockable, add end game event/stats, and more other polish.
True, it's hard to tell what does what, but the current philosophy is to make it minimal, and not think about it too much, but this might be changed.
You can enable/disable the "weapons" by right-clicking them, so you can isolate a single upgrade to see what it does, every one has its own fun, especially with bigger upgrades ;).
Yes unfortunately the camera and bullet need more polishing but already I ran out of time. As you mentioned, if I have more time I will make the hurt more obvious for player as the castle, which is very clear compare to the player. I hop you enjoyed it even if a bit ! Have a nice day.
Hi bckramer, really appreaciate your feedback! Yes actually a lot of chaos is started early, but didn't need to player sticks with slow based game since this is a game jam, they have a lot of game to play. Have a nice day !
Hi MathhieuHeras, really appreaciate your feedback! Yes I totally agree the camera is not that smooth and need more modification, I hope next time I do better than this, have a nice day!
Hi anthony, I appreciate your feedback ! Yes you it may seems little bit confusing (mostly due to 48 hours period), but you get more enjoyment with time to understand the fundamentals ! The game basically is tower defender but you there defending too along with the towers that you build with them, you can build towers on any empty base which indicated buy glowing circle. So the more you progress, the more you build, the more the enemies, the hard ! This is the basic idea :) Good luck.
