If this is what you're referring to, the text itself is the header for a button that leads to a new area. Though if that is the only button you see, it sounds likely I might have some poorly adaptable UI towards different resolutions, going to change that and let the web version reflect the update
That's weird, did not expect something like that. From that description I'm assuming it might have something to do with a lack of proper resolution handling on my end. So when clicking on the start button, it brings you to the area selection buttons, but then clicking one of the buttons just results in an empty screen?
They were, I was intending to have them show via a debug toggle but got sidetracked hard by everything else.
Although the player has a decent enough arsenal for attacks, there was practically zero polish done toward recovery, and the submitted version actually has an oversight where a buffered attack isn't reset after each hit. Once the voting ends I might touch up on the overall game a bit, at least when I'm not tunneled in on another jam.
After figuring out how it works, the mechanic for dealing with the tentacles was quite fun, especially from discovering a bit of strategy and timing in avoiding getting caught while striking the mini tentacles.
Very nice premise of acting as a vetter for guests. Subtle sounds and visual effects like the camera shake and phone messages helped a lot in finding the monsters.
This turned out especially well given the time-frame, and having recoil blast you forward is always a satisfying thing to have as someone who played a lot of Noita. Regarding the camera comment, there's always going to be some trial and error and memorization in platformers such as with timing and inputs, but I also think it'd be a bit more lenient if the camera displayed more of the level as you're moving through it, which would give more of a buffer to react in case you're shooting straight into a saw blade. Super Meat Boy is a good example of how you can show more of the level while still making it large enough to traverse through.
Although it might've been vague, the only real objective was to progress through the rooms and eventually reach the exit, with a few scares thrown in along the way.
Air attacks do more damage than ground ones, and you can shoot while jumping or sprinting while you're in the middle of a slash; the gun is also very helpful in interrupting and juggling enemies at range However, as it is, the game throws you straight in without any actual tutorial (or additional description on the page itself) as a guide.
A bit slippery, but the variation in what attacks the pumpkins are susceptible to was interesting, along with the timed Trick-or-Treat event. Having a level editor built in is also neat.
Surprisingly gruesome sound effects. Pretty good top-down endless runner, and the jumping was handled nicely. Got to 25 candies after playing it a bit.
Good mechanic, using gun knockback to move around was very neat and reminded me a bit of certain wand setups from Noita. If self-bullet damage was removed, or otherwise limited to some kind of condition, and enemies had less sudden spawn-ins and hit collision, it'd be very good. Still pretty nice otherwise.
Very well-polished, and the dimension shifting from some of the candies was a nice twist. I like how the levels were designed with that mechanic in mind.
After a certain point, I noticed that the directional audio cue of the remote could be used to help locate where it comes in next, but even then it was a bit difficult determining where it showed up exactly. Managed to get a score of 6 after some tries, it's an interesting game.
The banner art was completely improvised, though its primary influence derives from how the cover art in DMC titles usually has a character silhouette near the title. For the title itself, I noticed that applying the Tile effect in words looked cool and decided to tweak it a bit.
Player hitstun is definitely strict the way it is currently; eventually intend to add in slightly more leniency with a brief I-frame window upon exitting hitstun along with some counters against projectiles during the hasten special ability.
Got to the end after a while, and a great deal of trial and error with the light reflections. Very good game, and quite fleshed out considering the jam's duration.
As someone who has been playing Killing Floor 2 a good bit recently, this game was very nice. Finally managed to get 50 kills after multiple attempts; even after finding a seemingly decent spot to hold, there was a lot of demand to stay vigilant since the spawn points allowed them to flank you at any point.
Very nice puzzle game, the shuffling of obstacles made for some very hectic levels. I noticed some of the enemies had red weapons while others were uncolored - is the red coloring an indicator of whether or not the enemy is capable of turning?
Nice game, the background visuals were nice and reminds me of something I'd come across of an old flash game. The endings made for an interesting twist for the puzzles themselves.
There wasn't much of an indicator for it beyond intuiting the door sprites - an oversight from rushing it, which was on me - but when you approach a door of a room, press E to progress to the next room. The ladder platforming can be trivialized somewhat by keeping W held down as you're jumping betwen them.
Very unsettling premise, managed to be prudent enough with purchases to have just enough for the final offer. I do like that one of the items is just a concrete weight.
