itch.io

The new optimizations don't seemed to have improved things at all. And no, i don't mind sharing my PC specs at all. What would you like to know?

Also, while I'm down here typing this, the music from the game is playing without skipping so maybe it's a visual thing or an Itch integration that's causing the lag.

Just tried the new build and it's just as laggy as before. Also, the steam build doesn't really help me as I'm not a steam user . . . as evident by me being here on Itch.io instead of on steam.

Dear lord in heaven, optimize your game. It's like playing a flipbook.

Then what does "new demo" mean?

Do i need to start a new save file? I'm still capped at level 29.

Well, I'm not a steam player so this version is the only version of the game that i and other Itch.IO players actually get to play. Is there some specific reason you don't want us playing the live version of the game? Seems kind of unfair.

Well, when are we going to get a newer version? The newer version looks way more fun.

Ok, so i left the game running for 8 days straight but i finally managed to get every upgrade in the game.
Those last two life crystal upgrades were brutal. I really hope the next update, or the full release when it comes out, gives some other upgrades to make the process go smoother.

I also noticed that the later stage of he game was causing so much lag that my browser was crashing every 5-10 hours. Not sure what was causing that.

This looks way different from the version that GrayStillPlays played on his channel. Did he play an earlier version? Was content actually removed? Why?

Common wisdom? I've literally never heard that. Also, why would people not buy games here if they're looking for games here? Actual common wisdom would imply that if people are looking for games on itch.io they want to buy them on itch.io, if they wanted to buy them on Steam wouldn't they be looking for the games on Steam?

So when are we getting the full release?

Well . . that's great for people on steam but . . . what about us?

The game looks really fun but it's WAAAAY too short, lol.

I can't wait for this demo to get an update or for the full release. I absolutely love it.

Don't worry about the A.I. thing. There is currently a moral panic going on with A.I. like video games, drugs and other stuff before it. It's mainly too many sci-fi movies to blame, making people think A.I. is sentient. There is nothing actually wrong with it and most of the negative claims people bring up about it are provably false. A.I. is already used industry wide, even by top tier artists, and this panic will die down in a few years so don't let the pearl clutchers stop you from using A.I. to make your art. Everyone else is already using it.

Would love to see more games like this. Simple, hot, and reminds me a lot of Mittsie's games. I miss their games.

Only take the healer. Once you reach the boss, hit esc. You don't need to beat the level to unlock him.

Fun game. Love the chain reactions even though it's kinda grindy right now. Hope to see a full release here on itch soon.

Sure thing ^_^

But first. Irony. Definition:
The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. Like when someone screams "tolerance" while their side keeps trying to murder or terrorize everyone who disagrees with them.

Now onto the "tolerant" left:

Multiple assassination attempts on Donald Trump including the Butler Pennsylvania rally shooting July 2024, the Florida golf course assassination attempt September 2024 and the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner assassination attempt on April 25.
The Charlie Kirk assassination in September 2025.
The attempted assassination Breht Kavanaugh in 2022.
The Congressman Steve Scalise shooting and wounding of several civilians at the 2017 congressional baseball practice by a far left Bernie Sanders supporter.
The firebombing of Josh Shapiro's residence.
The orchestration and participation of the 2020 BLM/Antifa terrorist riots that caused over $2 billion in property damage and killed at least 25 people including David Dorn and other civilians while declaring autonomous zones like CHOP/CHAZ in Seattle that saw multiple shootings and deaths.
The years of sustained Antifa terrorist violence in Portland from 2018-2021 involving nightly assaults on journalists, police officers and random civilians with bricks, fireworks and lasers.
The firebombing and vandalization of over 100 pregnancy centers and churches after the Dobbs decision.
The repeated attacks on conservative speakers on college campuses with riots and violence to shut down events
The engagement in widespread doxxing, swatting, death threats and cancel campaigns against anyone, including apolitical game devs who refuse to bend the knee to far left illiberal ideology, and then has the audacity to call it "irony" when we want to be left out of your political purity tests.

The short version is the Godot developers started attacking their own user base over political reasons, even attacking and banning their financial supporters, so Redot, a non-political alternative, became the de facto choice.

The people who make politics their entire lives and/or identities didn't like this, hence the brigading you see.

Fun game, and not too short for a demo either. Too many games on this site are just short demos that never become anything or bafflingly becomes Steam exclusives.

Either way, looking forward to the full release. A little bug i notice while playing that i haven't seen anyone else comment on is that whoever is in the fourth slot doesn't trigger. Their passives work but they don't "shoot". Thought my druid was busted for a long while until i realized it was just whoever was in that bottom position wasn't triggering their active ability.

More than likely you killed them off screen and didn't notice or were expecting some kind of animation/cutscene. There's no fanfare, you just kill the enemies around her and finish the level.

In the cactus level, you have to proceed without hitting a single cactus. The people in the guild tell you this. I did it by only using the healer after progressing past it a free levels. You can die at the boss to end the level and it'll work, if that works. esc is a little finicky.

The other ! is the knight and it'll be a pillar with red particles floating up from it. Takes a few shots. Again, told to you by the people in the guild.

Dude, don't tell the developer what the exploit is XD

Right click and drag.

Looks like a cool game. Can't wait for the full release. It seems way too many games on Itch.io get demos but never come out. Hope this doesn't end up like one of those.

Also, i noticed that ImCade managed to buy the chain lightning ability. Did you give him an early release version? Cause i can't seem to get it. It says "prerequisite needed" but i have everything except that and launch direction. Am i missing something?

How do we get past the demo? I could have sworn i saw ImCade play for more content than what's available here.

How do we play this one? The game still says that the drone hub is locked in the demo.

Unfortunately, like i said in my post here i cannot log into my Github account due to a security vulnerability in Github's system and you cannot post in any repository's issue tracker without an account so i have to rely you and others. As for the details, they should all be in Ticket ID (337470). Any help would be appreciated.

And yet, illiberals are always the ones complaining about everything. Huh.

Glad to see Godot hasn't been completely abandoned. At least Redot is working to improve Godot in ways the users actually want and maintaining that community first objective that Godot used to honor. Keep up the good work guys.

Man, imagine being so ideologically captured by far left illiberal propaganda that you have to go after a literal GAME ENGINE just because the devs are apolitical. This is why people can't stand woketivists. Just let people enjoy their lives dude.

So i had something i wanted to share.

I was talking with someone in this thread https://itch.io/t/5972097/itchio-for-console and wanted to create my own thread to expand on one specific idea and give it its own spotlight, because I think it’s a really good one.

Getting an official itch.io app on modern consoles would be huge, and with Steam making all their games accessible to the console market by making their own video game console i figure it's the perfect time.

Unfortunately this will have to be a decision itch.io staff make themselves. While the itch.io desktop client is open source (the GitHub repo is the Electron based app, plus the separate open source butler daemon, both under MIT license), the core infrastructure is not. That includes the closed source backend services: primary API servers, OAuth authentication endpoints, payment processing, CDN distribution, game metadata database, and any store integration layers.

More importantly, authorizing and certifying the app for official distribution on modern consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, etc.) requires formal publisher agreements, NDAs, SDK licensing, and certification processes that can only be initiated by itch.io as a legal entity. Individual GitHub contributors cannot enter those contracts or obtain the required signing keys and entitlements, that’s strictly a platform holder relationship the itch.io team would have to handle themselves. So I’m posting this here in case itch.io would like to go ahead with the idea.

Fortunately, the actual implementation isn't too hard and the itch.io team would not need to port any games themselves. After securing the necessary publisher agreements and certifications, the main work would be adapting the client to each console’s ecosystem, specifically controller input mapping, gamepad UI navigation, and other platform specific optimizations. This is the standard process that other major apps such as Discord, Netflix, Arc, and Firefox have already successfully completed.

What do you all think? Does an Itch.io app on consoles sound like a good idea for you as a player or dev? Any other angles or ideas you want to bring up?

Shout out to Geronimokuwait for sparking the thought! ^_^

Fun game. Good automation. Needs more upgrades, a black background for the upgrades screen and the ability for automation to use the super laser.

Can't say i like this version. The time limit is annoying and there are no automation upgrades.
