It takes some time to get ahold of it, but when you get the basics, it's really fun! I think that the mechanics are well thought out, and it has great potential to be polished further.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! We're really glad you liked it!
We thought about the MetaFab integration a lot and decided that we would follow the following part of the rules:
"More specifically, for this jam, some ways you can use MetaFab include...
Player account creation, management, and save state..."
We also added an item that's minted to your wallet once you beat the game, so overall the Almanac is some kind of inventory. If we wanted another saving and "inventory" system, we would have to reimplement a different one entirely.
The genre of our game would be some kind of rougelike, and in rougelike games there often isn't much economy going around, so we decided not to force it and use MetaFab for the system we actually needed. Our current inventory system mostly serves as a proof of concept and could be (and probably will be, after the jam) expanded.
Once again, I get where you're coming from, but I think MetaFab is amazing because of the fact that it can solve variety of problems, and be useful to any type of game there is.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback and am glad you enjoyed it!
The Metafab was used to handle player login and saving data in the "Almanac". (Which fits the "Player creation, management and saving" example from the Jam page).
Aside from that, when you beat a boss, an item gets minted to your wallet (which you can also see in the almanac).
You can go to the game page where we put more information about it!
Hope this cleared it up for you. And thank you so much again! :)
Thank you so much for the feedback, we're so glad you enjoyed it! We forgot to mention the fact that you can dash through bullets, which should make the experience a bit less difficult, but I agree, we should slow down the bullets a bit in the future. Thanks again! :)
