A very good game, but it requires some polish. BTW, add a label which shows which stage you are on. For example, I got a game over on the 3rd stage and it transported me back to the 1st one.
I just downloaded the Windows version to check if everything is OK and when one crystal runs out of power, there is a game over screen, I don't know what's the problem with your game.
Interesting and nice game, not really as irritating as something like I Wanna Be The Guy, but that's a plus, IMO. BTW, the controls are too slidy, so there is a chance that you may accidentally step on a trap.
OK, so, to those who have a resolution issue, turn on the fullscreen mode and you will see a very small part of a button on the left. Click on it to start the game.
Nice game, but there are some issues. The UI is doesn't work well with my monitor's resolution (like, I can't see my max HP and the settings menu is a bit bugged). Also, when the character becomes big, it's sometimes hard for the bullet to hit the zombie.
I get what you are saying. BTW, you mentioned that the players should never look away from the screen to read the instructions. You may pause the game and then read them.
In my game adventurers are fighting orcs to power the defence crystals and adventurers are also trying to prevent orcs from consuming the power of the crystals: https://localkings.itch.io/adventurer-machine
Here is my story: I was thinking about the ideas for my project when I was creating the Godot project, I came up with a tower defence game where adventurers/mercenaries are powering something and called it "Adventurer Machine", after that I was coming up with ideas while I was writing code. I didn't want to rush my game, but I thought it was pretty much complete after 1 day of work and 8 hours of sleep and I released it.
Some interesting facts: the dragon was made using the monster builder pack, the fire that dragon emits is an edited torso from the asset pack, the sound of the explosion and the sounds of the dragon are edited RPG sounds, I was listening to stuff like the Niyander OP and bard jr. by stinkbug, among some other tracks.
Nice for a beginner, but this game is a bit short. BTW, did you make the music yourself or you got it from somewhere else? I'm getting heavy SNES JRPG vibes (especially Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger vibes).
Not when making the game, but I learned that Godot already got built in support for in game pausing (I made a custom pause system that freezes the timers and the character movement) only after I had submitted the game.
