thanks for playing! I should have a build up soon that makes walljumping easier. I also changed the way upwards slopes work, in the current build you cant get any air unless you jump.  

the current level difficulty really makes no sense, I thought I'd try and encourage people to mess around and try to go fast. I'll keep your feedback in mind when making levels that should be before what is currently 'level 1'. the whole only shooting at targets thing is only temporary.

Feedback is much appreciated

thanks for the stream brim! i need to make the time limit a bit more lenient on that stage or something, I just wanted to encourage people to try going fast in the prototype.

the advanced tips in the readme being a jumpscare was enlightening. I removed that line from the readme since the sliding while shooting tech is never required and is pretty mechanically difficult.

thanks for the feedback

thanks for playing!

• the godot shader stutter on first rocket i think is because it is using a placeholder particles node that i havent set up to pre-cache yet
• music is set to loop in the editor but appears to just sometimes not loop on web? thanks for catching that
• I'm trying to figure out an acceptable way to make rocket jump timing a bit more lenient, added just a few frames of delay before spawning the rocket on firing the rocket launcher but hoping I can find something better
• i like your idea with the magnum

appreciate the feedback!

I can barely drive a manual in real without killing everyone on the road

• i love the idea of including proper shifting as a central mechanic in an arcade racer
• menus, music, and UI are all really great
• immediately killed the car 5 seconds in, just like in real!
• after a few tries i managed to get a gold on the first track
• this game has a really steep learning curve compared to other racers which i dont really mind
• my shift quality was pretty consistently at D
• spinning the car around in the air is really fun and makes me wish there was a little guy screaming inside
• learning the grip and when your steering locks up is really tough
• i was able to get mostly golds and silvers on all the level 1 tracks after some attempts
• i actually really enjoy being able to stall the engine
• these tracks are all really hard in my opinion, lots of narrow passages and hairpin turns makes me scared of future tracks
• wish i could go to the next level on getting a medal instead of having to back out to the main menu

this was dope! i want to play more of this later. keep up the great work.

2nd time ive tried this, some thoughts as i play

• i think the simpler tutorial is more effective and fun to play around in
• this is just a random thought, but damn in the shooting animation the character must be really limp wristing the gun for it to kick back and bend his elbows that much
• the bit of slowdown on mixing i think is a great addition and makes the game alot easier to learn. maybe im just better at mixing since it is my 2nd time
• i usually dont mind one hit kills in games but the elite enemies laser beam really annoyed me, i was looking at another enemy and was surprised when i saw my health hit -150 until i realized what happened. maybe there should be a highlight or something before the attack comes out, or maybe im just a brainlet. this happened to me the last time i played too
• i think unlocking the 2nd tier combos is a good simplification to not overwhelm new players as well
• i had an elite combat where i stacked tons of defense down on the electric element boss, and spammed ice+lightning fast scythe strikes with the lightning bolt every 3rd chain ability. this did a ton of damage and felt great and extremely fun, and is the kind of synergy you can only get in this specific game. i think i genuinely soy-faced
• the freezing challenge shrine was really annoying imo, it was really unclear that it was a straight DPS check and wasnt going to stop expanding. the 2nd one i tried i knew i had to be fast, so i got out my scythe to start clearing things as they spawn, only for freeze mines to spawn and stunlock me to death instantly. fuck these things
• i never went for the damage type resistance upgrades which usually occupied half the slots in the shop since they are so much less interesting than the cooler options with potential synergies
• game still looks and sounds great

It was fun! it has a lot of potential. I usually dont mind dying and restarting in these kinds of games but something about getting confused, stunlocked, and one shotted made me want to take a break, so i'll come back to it later. keep up the great work!

some thoughts as i play

• black screen with music on firefox, seemed to work fine on chrome
• widget is mis-spelled as widgit in the tutorial
• i really like that hovering the roll button makes the dice clank together, very cool touch
• i have never played craps
• i think i broke the tutorial? im at the "hover over the special chip, roll again to use it" part. I ignored the directions and clicked the chip. now i have rolled several non point making numbers and every time an animation of the chip moving to the die is played but nothing happens
• I immediately accidentally sold my other 2 special chips. oops
• game speed option is much appreciated
• i kind of wish i could hover over the bets like i can in help mode to get the tooltips while still being able to bet/roll
• i really appreciate the colord numbers to simplify what you are betting on
• i started to get the hang of it after winning 3 levels. i couldnt really keep track of the other table people modifying the rolls and shit, i ended up betting pass line with the snowball and ETF investor special chip. it was dumb fun and i like the juice on winning.
• the heat vignette effect is kind of obnoxious
• i wish your chip stack was only as tall as how many of those chips you could put down, it made placing bets awkward
• ive never played balatro but i see the inspiration

good stuff, now i know a little bit about how craps works! my brother forced me to play it one time and i had no idea what happened except that it turned my $5 into $20 and i had no idea why, which scared me. keep up the good work.

thanks for the feedback, im glad you enjoyed it! I'm also surprised you found the game more accessible since it seems a lot of people have been struggling with it. the wallkick  is only really useful in the situations you mentioned, to be honest i was inspired to include it since a similar mechanic is included in one of my favorite old PC platformers Nikujin.  I think the wall jump height needs a buff as well due to the amount of people commenting on it.

thanks for the feedback! i like the shotgun too. the wallkick is poorly explained and this demo day i have learned im the only poor fool that still plays platformers with the arrow keys on a keyboard.

thanks for playing! The target test being the main gameplay loop is a placeholder, it was pretty much the minimum amount of work necessary to get the demo in a playable state. I agree it would probably get repetitive

the shotgun does have knockback, but it is additive to your current velocity so if you are falling it will slow your fall rather than immediately bounce you up like the force-a-nature. If that wasnt obvious then i probably need to either buff the recoil or play with having it give you some minimum velocity in the direction of the recoil (maybe just in the y axis)

I'll try out being able to aim up/down while wallsliding, i think that is a good suggestion. I like the idea of having a fast fall to go crazy fast landing on slopes but it wouldnt mesh well with having to aim downwards while jumping the way it currently works. 

Thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated! several of your previous suggestions improved mage tower massacre as well.

feels pretty fun to move around in the castle level! I tried to go to the other levels but i didnt appear to actually spawn in or have control of a character. ended up finding 6 of the stars. didnt have a controller handy so played on KB+M

• i like the braking, but it feels a bit strange that you can still turn around on a dime if you sideways and then backwards to do a hairpin turn
• if i dash up a quarter pipe and start wallrunning, but stop holding dash, then i appear to get stuck in a wallsliding state that i can only exit by walljumping
• the cannon only didnt kill me 1 out of 3 times i tried to use it. 1 time i ground pounded mid shot though so thats probably my fault
• exploring the big world and going "oh shit, i can get up there?" was really neat
• all the platforming in the lava section was fun and having ramps to dash up is neat
• running along walls after dashing up a quarter pipe going sideways feels really strange to control since my momentum no longer aligns with any cardinal directions with respect to the camera. felt like it was mostly luck to actually go where i wanted to
• i dont see what the point of the crouch jump is or the crouch dash
• walljumping felt a little stiff in my opinion

its pretty fun! cool that there is multiplayer too, but there was no one online when i joined. keep up the good work!

Pretty damn fun. completed all the levels this time

• i like the new default for controlling the bat better. it feels chaotic to try and aim at enemies between bat swings which i think is cool
• game looks great, effects in particular are top notch
• the music is all great and i love the way it changes when you clear an encounter
• I've never had performance issues with this game before but i ran into a lot of stuttering this time
• this game is really damn chaotic. I think it is part of the appeal but half the time i died my reaction was"huh?" because i genuinely did not understand what just happened
• i didnt understand the boxers in the last level or why i couldnt move when fighting them sometimes
• favorite weapons by far are the shotgun and missile launcher
• the game feels so much better now that bullets move fast
• pretty hard to tell what you can/cant shoot over
• fuck the plant level in particular with the exploding bullets, they reminded me of the exploding kunai in ninja gaiden 2 
• the new portraits and ammo hud are top notch

really good stuff, this game gets better every time i play it. it feels like absolute chaos and i think half the time i beat a level that dumb luck played a major factor. keep up the good work

i did 2 runs of this level

• the sudden camera changes were really disorienting and felt kinda unfair when you are supposed to be maneuvering between 2 pipes while the camera is still swinging around
• the obstacle immediately after the truck you have to slide under is bullshit, its impossible to see coming if you are dashing
• i like the graphics and the wagie theme
• the title screen goes hard
• dodging and jumping on the cars was fun and seeing how fast i could beat the level was a cool challenge
• i ended up holding W to keep boosting which made the bursts of speed feel kind of awkward

i hope the wagie escapes his cagie. keep up the good work

I gathered a few friends to play with 4 people in a server for a few minutes and had some fun

• The vibe of the game and dithering are so cozy. it looks great
• i like the screaming child sound effects
• the snowball is really hard to aim at a moving player. for the bullies it is fine but it is pretty easy to dodge so PvP fights end up being mostly a whiff fest. Makes me long for a snow submachine-gun
• i saw you had building fortifications as a potential mechanic, I think that would be super fun. reminds me of those old roblox build a base and fight games that were kino
• scoring mechanics were unclear, I had full wonder but never scored any points for kills
• netcode seemed stable and worked well
• game gets very repetitive and most of your time is spent walking around the massive map after a round or 2
• movement is really slow for how big the map is

its cozy and worked well. keep up the good work!

writing down some thoughts as i play. I dont typically play VNs

• i like answering the questions at the start it reminds me of pokemon mystery dungeon
• why not just use the mouse for the camera?
• the character's walk animation is really swaggy and made me laugh
• i feel like the text describing the things around the room is a little much and too descriptive. I'm all for purple prose but i really dont need a description about how a box could be used for storing things if it isnt going to matter at all in game
• the idle animations for some of the characters are kinda funny, dont really fit with the theme
• a lot of the UI transitions looked great!
• i found out im in a death game where murder is a-ok, and the first thing i do is take a nap? brave
• the intro is very long

i dont have a ton of time and i couldnt find a save point so I will come back to this later. its not really my thing so take my opinion with a grain of salt but i wasnt really hooked based on how long it took to introduce characters and explain the setup when it feels like a somewhat standard death game. maybe im just a brainlet who hates words. id be interested to see where this goes. Seems way more stable and sensible than the last time i played it as well. keep up the good work!

love the soundtrack. 

• i like that you added the sodas for the individual moves since no game has a similar moveset so its a lot to learn.
• holding up and shoot to charge the charge shot was kind of awkward, i ended up accidentally reloading a lot
• the fuse timer on the pineapple grenades feels pretty long and doesnt have a great way to time the explosion so it can be a bit hard to use it as a blast jumping tool
• all the weird things in the level are kino,i really like seeing a new guy and going "great, what does this fuckin thing do and how can i use it to go really fast
• shooting feels kinda piddly but its not like you are shooting at most enemies to kill them
• the way you store momentum for later in the air by holding in the opposite direction is really awkward but i got used to it during the scarab minigame
• i really like that there are multiple routes throughout a level and all of them require you to do some crazy interaction with a little guy to do it fast
• the exit to the level should probably be marked on the map
• the demo graves are a really cool feature
• i ended up getting a B rank on the AGDG 66 level and couldnt figure out what to do on the 2nd level
• i dont get what the point of the hair receiving the bullet is

I think this game is unhinged and has crazy controls but i really like it. I like that it doesnt look or feel like any other game ive played and it is fun to move around the levels. it feels kind of unfocused and i never knew exactly what to do or where to go but i would play this again for sure with more levels

keep up the good work!

game wouldnt run in firefox but seemed to work fine in chrome

• i like the main character and pixel art. also like the tile-set, they dont seem to mesh into a sensible area very well but im guessing thats because the level generation is early
• screen shake on firing is crazy high
• camera seems to drift really far with the cursor and felt a little to sensitive. kind of like playing hotline miami but holding shift the whole time
• the reload is really slow and if there was an active reload then i couldnt figure it out
• i became invincible with 0hp on my 2nd run after dying once
• once i figured out i could put runes and elements on my weapon the game got a lot more fun
• i wasnt able to figure out what to do with the loot i picked up
• the movespeed feels really sluggish. i feel like im too slow to weave between or outmaneuver enemies
• took me a minute to realize you have to hold the key to open chests

I dont think it is very fun in its current state but i see the potential, especially finding OP rune/element combos. IMO shooting things and fighting enemies with the base gun should feel kinda fun and i just dont think its there yet but im excited to see where this goes. keep up the good work!

Thanks for playing :)

 There should be some basic controller support in the download version but i only tested it with my PS5 controller so i cant promise it will work perfectly. Controls will be rebindable in the future

I think based on other feedback as well that wall jumps need to be buffed since you hardly gain any height if you dont time them perfectly and keep holding the jump button. I appreciate the feedback!

thanks for playing!

• agreed on the quick restart
• the only way to accelerate to dashing speed on flat ground at the moment is sliding and shooting backwards with the shotgun or machine gun. I agree that it feels kinda lame when there is no good wall/slope nearby. I'll try a few things to make it feel better

feedback is much appreciated, hope to get in some polish and more characters/levels in the future.

the video feedback is extremely helpful. its a bit hard to hear you but i think i got most of your comments. congrats on beating the time to unlock level 2, in hindsight it is a pretty tight limit. I think the wall jumps dont give you enough vertical speed at the moment because watching how many walljumps you had to do to get up the big shafts looked annoying. You are also the 3rd person to mention dustforce which i still have not played but is now on my list.

Appreciate the feedback!

I just pushed a new build for the web and downloadable versions that makes the rocket jump a bit more forgiving. letting go of jump during a rocket jump would kill 66% of your vertical momentum before. You still need to shoot the rocket down immediately after jumping for full height though.

Which animations seemed off? they are still roughs but id like to know what needs the most attention. 

thanks for playing! Rebindable controls are on my todo list, to be honest the last platformer i played on a keyboard was Iji so I think that is where the control scheme came from. I agree that the one spot you need to stand in place to shoot a column of targets with the machine gun in level 1 kind of suck, it totally halts your momentum and there is no better way to break those targets.

Guns are definitely staying but i think your point about the gun management dragging down the gameplay is fair. I'm not sure how much of a pure speedrun game this will be in the future.

You are the 2nd person to mention dustforce so now im thinking I should really play that. 

Feedback is much appreciated

Thanks for playing, the video is extremely helpful and it makes me smile to see a very skilled player. I made level 2 in like 45 minutes before submitting so I haven't playtested it like crazy but your time is better than my best in the ~30 attempts I did, so you definitely aren't playing the game wrong. Only thing I maybe saw was you can clear the gap after getting the shotgun without walljumping if you jump off the tiny ramp with a little bit of ground speed.

I haven't optimized the levels yet to make everything super smooth so im not surprised parts feel un-intuitive. Dashing is a different animation than walking but it should probably have some kind of distinct effect like an afterimage or something, that is a good point. 

Wallkicks/jumps should probably give you more speed (shotgun anaconda had similar feedback) so I will try that while refining the movement. I havent played Dustforce but its on my list to study (aka steal from).

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for playing! The rocket launcher explosion applies a knockback velocity that is additive to your current velocity, so if you rocket jump during the apex/falling portion of your jump you dont really go no-where. you also need to hold the jump key otherwise you will lose a lot of vertical momentum when you release it, which your comment made me realize really doesnt make any fucking sense for a rocket jump. 

There is a jump buffer with a 0.12 second buffer window, but there is currently no buffer related to aim. Finicky is not the goal so I'll spend some time tweaking the values of the movement.

I will see if I can make jumping / rocket jumping feel better / more intuitive and reply here if i get an updated build out. Feedback is much appreciated!

thanks for playing!

• i think i made default walking a bit too slow, i might toy around with having the player slowly accelerate to dashing speed once they are at full walking speed
• im glad you liked the movement options, "not particularly striking" is kind of in line with what im going for since im burned out on things like celeste dashes
• i agree with your points on rocket jumping, its hard to reconcile metal slug style aiming with the mechanic. your point makes me think it might be worth trying to implement a mechanic where you always get some velocity component in the direction of the explosion knockback, currently it is just additive so it is counteracted if you have downwards momentum. I think this might be the issue Shotgun Anaconda had as well
• those are some nice times
• The current setup of shooting at targets being the main mechanic is temporary, im hoping if this barebones setup can be tweaked to be fun on its own that it will make a strong base for a more involved game.  Still definitely gunning for the movement autist audience.

I appreciate the thorough feedback :)

First time player but love to see some momentum based king shit in my platformers. The swinging had to be my favorite mechanic as an umihara kawase head , and the last level 'difficulty spike' was definitely my favorite in terms of how it pushes you to use your stars to retain your momentum. I managed to at least 2 star all the levels and I feel like the difficulty is just right. It was very unintuitive to me at first to shoot the star blocks by boosting away from them and it never quite became natural to me but thats a skill issue. The menus remind me of kirby 64 as well, which i appreciate.'m not sure if collecting stars serves a purposes yet but i like the way downwell does it of allowing you to unlock new color pallets/characters as you play.  I dont have many suggestions because this is extremely solid as is.

Keep up the good work!

the sequel to blobby volley. Blorb is back and he's blorber than ever!

I last played this several DD's ago back when the main enemies were all just sprites. This has now ascended to absolute kino and I had a lot of fun playing it.

• i still love the idea of a boating boomer shooter. The boat controls are good and its really smooth to get on/off the boat
• the guns feel good and powerful. The grenade launcher should 1 shot mooks in my opinion. the SMG fire-rate is crazy high which i love
• some of the gun viewmodels look a bit strange (double barrel, speargun look 10 feet long)
• the  levels are really well designed in my opinion. The ambush with the handstand guys got me good and the construction site was fun as fuck
• taking the boat through the little caves was fun, but in one in the chieftan level i managed to clip thru the ceiling by getting on the HMG
• the enemy AI is pretty fun to fight! I like how they come at you in droves too
• I realize these are probably the first few levels but I found the game pretty easy even without the lifesteal upgrades (which made several parts trivial)
• the boss fight was chaotic but fun and was really impressive to me. definitely the hardest part of the demo and i went through all 5 medkits to survive
• the flesh wings were great for getting back to the boat
• I like Rag conceptually but wish he had a bit more personality. I'd like him more if he actually felt like a gruff boat captain. as is he is kind of a nothing burger
• I think you should play up the mystery of what is at the heart of the island and have it be a crazy reveal. im thinking of the ending of DUSK and how cool the last few levels were
• some textures clash with eachother and the game overall looks a bit washed out to me. I honestly dont mind but it could put some people off
• The HMG is a great addition, but the boat still doesnt feel very tied in with the main gameplay
• I also encountered the issue where my framerate slowed to a crawl for a few seconds when i got the boat close to shore at a weird angle

I think its neat. I would buy this game on Steam.

Keep up the good work!

I gave the new build a try, it looks like my issues with rebinding have been fixed and I can now consistently rebind. Some buttons are labelled differently still on my PS5 controller:

• pressing cross shows up as circle in the menu
• circle shows up as cross
• options (start) button shows up as R3
• create (select) button shows up as L3
• triggers and R3/L3 do not register (this is probably fine)

thanks for the quick update, controller support is a headache.

Fun little game with great art and polish. 

• changing color palette is one of my favorite features in games
• tested on a ps5 controller. remapping controls I think was buggy in a way thats hard to explain
  • what was labelled as "square" and "cross" were swapped on my controller face buttons
  • changing one action's binding seemed to randomly change other actions bindings, even if they were not bound to the same button
  • sometimes no matter what binding i try i cannot rebind an action, and i know it isnt 1 binding per action since i managed to somehow bind 3 things to triangle
  • its weird! but once i randomly managed to get the bindings how i wanted they worked fine in game

• i ended up running past a lot of enemies since they were a bit repetitive to fight
• i like the art and sound effects, it looks and sounds great. nice feedback on attacks too but my slop brain is conditioned to more intense hit/kill VFX
• I didnt think the existing itemization was very interesting, none of it really changed how i played other than new weapons. maybe there is more that i didnt find
• I like all the enemy designs! very comfy.
• got stuck in doors trying to transition rooms a few times
• MP is pretty limited and the base attack gets a bit stale after a few runs IMO. maybe thats just my low attention span
• i ended up soft locking myself a few floors in by twirling into a corner as a chest spawned as shown in the attached screenshot below

It was a fun time and very well put together! looking forward to trying the NextFest demo.

i only had escape the mansion, special delivery, and goblins ending. Looking forward to more!

teleglitch my beloved. cool little prototype.

• i really like the animated HUD face for the character
• I got lost in the first area after the tutorial since it was really unclear that what looked like a normal wall was a level transition to the next area. In the tutorial the exit was clearly visible by the stairs.
• enemies seem to not react to being shot if you are far enough away, kills the tension when spotting a far away enemy
• the line of sight culling system is really great! I loved having to carefully check my corners and turn around every so often, made me feel more immersed and paranoid
• the SFX and VFX are pretty piddly right now on the gun and swing, could really use a bit of juice. The melee in particular if its gonna be a swipe i want to see a lot of knockback when killing an enemy with it
• wasnt able to consistently melee any of the enemies without taking damage. had more success shooting 2 shots and then finishing with 1 melee hit, which worked most of the time
• you move really slow and sprint runs out very fast

If the combat had a little more going on with it and the juice was cranked up a bit i could see myself sinking some time into this. Very atmospheric and immersive base for what it is. Keep up the good work!

the number do indeed go up! got to wave 30 before quitting

• there isnt much here to talk about but what is there is surprisingly solid
• i like the mp5 model, the way it moves and recoils reminds me of timesplitters 2
• feels like stacking dmg and fire-rate is the best way to keep up
• sometimes RNG can fuck you with only health / walkspeed upgrades
• I see no reason to take the walkspeed upgrade when you can pretty easily avoid everything strafing with the base speed
• it was really rare to come across a tier 2 upgrade, my dopamine receptors were drying up
• the repeated grass texture is pretty ugly

Its a functional base for what it is, not much here to praise or criticize yet. I could see this being pretty fun with more guns, more involved arenas, more interesting AI, and something to do besides hold m1

Keep up the good work.

i think it was 25. looking forward to fighting the final boss with the power of friendshrimp

Chaotic and fun. Played with the Shotgun and Minigun and ended up with a best score of 670k

• the laughing when you get holy time is such a nice touch, i love it
• the art and music is great, gives the game a really fun atmosphere
• I think the minigun is pretty OP, i never felt threatened and idk if there is a reason to use anything else since it constantly spews bullets and everything dies in 1 hit
• Both the weapons i used feel great. although i wish there was more feedback on killing/hitting an enemy to make it more satisfying
• the gravity mechanic was really fun to mess with, but with the shotgun i ended up mostly dashing backwards constantly orbiting around a floating cloud of demons by the end of the timer after collecting all the time ups. Basically turned the game into a flight sim!
• I was confused why i couldnt walk up the towers but could kind of, slide up them sometimes?
• wish where enemies can spawn from was more clear and that their AI was more interesting than just charging you
• i like the RE mercenaries aspect of collecting time ups, though i think it would work better with a more involved map since my strategy after the 1st run was just to shoot the hourglasses from the center of the map and get them all quickly at the start from 1 location
• The shotgun feels good, I like it even more than the minigun even if it felt like a downgrade

Pretty sweet demo, I've played 3 of your games now and they never disappoint. Keep up the good work!

One of the more polished demo day games ive played, really fun stuff. Beat the 3 dungeons with a few deaths

• I love underwater games and this game nails that atmosphere
• the music is all awesome, i especially liked the DnB track on the egg level
• IMO the cooldowns on the RMB abilities is way too long. most of my time spent in combat was spent circle strafing and holding M1 waiting for my cooler thing to recharge. This game reminds me a lot of RoR2 where your abilities also had cooldowns but in that game you could rotate through them pretty quickly with most characters in a satisfying way, and there was ways to get multiple charges and refresh the cooldowns. I tried stacking more of the stat that reduces recast time but it didnt make a massive difference by the end of any of the dungeons
• Dying seems to have no consequence beyond having to pick back up your stuff? maybe there was a lives system i was unaware of
• all the lowpoly models and shaders look great!
• The R abilities were all really cool, but i only got to use each of them 2 - 3 times before the stage was over. again with having no cooldowns available most of the time I spent a lot of time holding M1 wishing i had more at my disposal
• I didnt see the point of having to look for random adds to kill after getting the elemental stone before the boss spawned
• My overall damage felt low and I was wishing things died faster after the 1st stage
• By the end i wasnt paying that much attention to the stats since my progress would reset by the next level
• I like bumpsy and his show

Its as shrimple as that, really fuckin cool game. I had some nitpicks above but definitely one of my favorites to play. I could see myself playing this with friends and having a blast.

Keep up the good work!

The pixel art is pretty awesome and reminds me of several games ive seen on Game Dungeon before. The animations are cool too. I managed to get the goblin ending and then free the prisoner but no luck past that. Havent tried the 2nd scenario yet

• the jump feels really weird and there were a few jumps where i wasnt sure if they were barely possible with 3 agility
• 1 intelligence being unable to read is pretty funny, but doesnt that make the game impossible to complete?
• several events could be triggered that didnt make sense, like making the admiral go back downstairs after freeing the prisoner
• i didnt realize a bunch of the drawers and bookshelves contained items since they dont stand out in any way, until i noticed the tiny exclamation mark that appears sometimes
• sneaking past the goblins is functional but can be really tedious if they just decide to keep turning around. This also makes them impossible to predict, mercifully they forget you were there once you hide again
• does the mouse cursor serve any purpose? if it does i feel like it would be annoying to move my hand back and forth between the arrows and the mouse
• I really like the scenario and most of the writing. got a good chuckle out of me when she puts the bird in the cage and dirk says "god i wish that were me"
• I ended up having the classic adventure game problem where you completely run out of ideas and places to explore. Must have missed an item or misunderstood a mechanic? 
• the RPG elements were cool and differentiate the game from normal adventure games

I see some pretty huge potential here! especially with the DOS game aesthetic, I ate that shit right up. 

Keep up the good work.

looking forward to it!

Pretty sweet to see all the progress made in this game, the scope is getting pretty big with the PhysX, gravity flipping, and ImSim elements.

• I really like the idea of getting out of your mech as a SHOGO head, can tell its an early test but i love the concept. Hoping for better movement controller and more satisfying guns here
• The pyramid dog boss previously gave me a lot of trouble but this time i tried shooting down his missiles with the nail gun and it was a breeze
• I really wish the G boost was on a shorter cooldown or something and always available, In the big maps i spent most of my time slowly walking around waiting for it to recharge
• I still dont understand the berserk powerup or moon level
• dodging missiles with the side boost is fun. every time i play this i remember how kino HAWKEN was for the brief time i played it
• I was at ~300FPS for 90% of the time, but every 20-30 seconds i would get a stutter down to 14fps, usually at the same time a hit/kill VFX was playing
• the loading screen art and character portraits are absolute kino as always
• killing other piloted mechs and scaling the tower were by far my favorite parts of the gameplay

Seems like you are adding a lot of stuff which is cool but I personally would rather have what is already present be more polished than have a bunch more mechanics, even if the new mechanics are cool.

Keep up the good work!

I really like the look and feel of this game and it probably has my favorite music from this demo day.

• i thought the bat felt really weird with the mouse but fine with the controller
• but playing with the controller with the fast enemies and not-that-fast bullets made me wish for some aim assist
• shotgun was by far my favorite gun
• the lighting looks great but the visual clarity could use improvement, half the time i got hit i had no idea what hit me
• i just dont feel like any gun besides the shotgun was half as satisfying as the bat
• sometimes the camera would zoom on a dying enemy when it wasnt the last one on screen and shit was still shooting at me. this killed me once
• the spectacle of everything and the subway tunnels are so fucking cool

its a great demo, keep up the good work.
