Of course! I really enjoyed what you had so far :) I had seen you post about the game a lot on twitter, so I finally decided to pull the trigger and try it out.
Key mapping sounds like a good idea. Personally the key bindings were fine for me, but I could see someone else wanting the controls mapped differently.
Hey, nice work so far! I had fun playing through the early version. Feels like a mix of classic Doom and Alien. I dug the fog that came in on the last floor alongside the encounter.
I know this is a work-in-progress, but I just figured I'd mention a couple things I noticed.
- Could mouse sensitivity be added as a option? I didn't see a way to change it and the default felt a bit slow to me.
- A couple times, the tags or enemies seemed to be inside the floor instead of on top of it.
- I believe the first item machine on the last floor said $300 for shotgun ammo but it actually cost $1000.
I look forward to see where the project goes :)
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. Ending 5 is one of the more difficult endings to reach.
For the computer voice, I recorded my own voice and used Audacity with the Krush VST plugin https://www.tritik.com/product/krush/. Then I just tweaked the settings until it sounded good. It helps that my voice is already kind of monotone sounding ;)
And yeah, my voice is saying 0 8 3 5. Sounds like you figured out where to use those numbers :)
Cool game! I was really sold on the creepy space station environment, and the lighting and particle effects were excellent. Navigation took me a bit of time to get used to with all the doors, and I was thrown off early on because I didn't realize the game didn't pause when switching items (I ended up dying). Solid overall :)
Hi, I would like to submit https://rocstudios.itch.io/story-of-the-mirror (the game is free, I just want to show my support).
Very interesting game! I'd be keen on playing some more levels. The reset seemed to cause me a couple different issues. I was playing on level 4 and reset, which sent me back to level 1 but also kept the level 4 music playing alongside the level 1 music. Also, the reset on level 2 did in fact reset only level 2, but it also disabled the music (not the sfx). Great job overall!
A fun little game! It definitely got pretty challenging near the end (I got to 125 computers and 9690 points). One minor suggestion I would have is putting in a game over screen, or resetting back to the main menu after losing. The game kind of just stopped abruptly after I lost the last of my health.
Thanks! Sometimes when I'm tweaking the game difficulty and self-testing, I have a hard time figuring out if it's easy because I'm familiar with it or it's actually easy. Yes, I used Pico-8. I've really grown to love Pico-8, which is why I've used it for the last few game jams I've participated in. Thanks again for the feedback.
