oh, thank you! i looked at the game tags a few days ago and noticed i threw on a bunch of random accessibility related tags and was worried i'd be misleading. i think next time i make a game in this style i'll give the option to tweak the color palette.
The fire rate in the beginning was a bit slow, which made combat a bit jarring. I think if the fire rate started at 0.3 seconds, it'd be better.
The reflect ability detects bullets too late most of the time. If the shield reflected the moment the button was pressed, reflecting would feel way more responsive.
I really liked the overall aesthetic of the game! The pixel art is nice, and the fact that you utilized the Gameboy palette so well is impressive.
The enemy variety was also pretty nice! I have no idea how to make bullet patterns, so seeing someone pull it off in Godot is mind-boggling for some reason.
Overall, it was pretty fun, even with its issues. Good work :D
I probably should’ve put the checkpoints in safer spots, yeah. I actually found quite a few “unlucky scenarios” and had to fix those, but I guess I didn’t catch all of them.
As for the second critique, I considered a reset button, but I decided against it. Not sure why.
I was going to make graves checkpoints, but I thought making them collectable/objectives would be better. Might consider something like this for the future.
If I'm honest, yeah killing yourself for the final flower was a bit off, and I wish I could've changed it, but I honestly don't know what else I could've done to make it better.
