It has to burn fairly wet for that sort of smoke

[Franklin's Ghost]

Have been working on some more interactions and have now added to the left shoulder swipe.

[The Translocator]

I think this is going to be an interesting game.

Thanks, I tweaked it a bit. Let me know how it looks now, within game context:

[Torchkas]

Those controls look really slow and clunky. And the visuals are a complete clusterfuck. There's way too much noise in places that you don't need to pay attention to.
I don't actually know how the game controls, but the massive delay on the whip seems like a very bad decision. It seems like because of the bad controls you didn't really know much of what to do with the design of the level.
I get the loathing for the visual style. But so far I haven't been able to see it being properly implemented yet. This game has a lot of potential, you shouldn't blow it.

You dont control the character, that is why items can have long delays and the level can have a lot of shit piled on top of each other. While there are still many opportunities to improve the readability, it is not that important due to the above mentioned, and allows some trade offs. Thanks for the perspective! Very helpful.

Finnaly fixed positioning of light

Still not exactly flying as intended but close. Also, today I found about 3918 by Oxeye Games and it turns out that their game has almost exactly the kind of flight model I'm after.

Is that a top down or side view?

Reminds me of Time Pilot.

I'm a fan but no, readability is always important visual hierarchy is key

[standardcombo]

Readability is always important, but time is more important! I will go back and improve worse offending parts.

Edit: I did a pass on the game's color palette and it looks way better. Cheers!

oh wow
... im assuming thats 3D with shaders right

[Quarry]

Looks like rotoscoping

It's a side view. The plane rolls while ascending/descending, just like in

,

, Luftrausers or 3918 I've mentioned before. Regarding controls, my prototype is closest to 3918.

It's kinda weird and funny at the same time, to come up with an idea for control scheme just to find out that there's a game that already does exactly the same thing.

Built a diddy version of the Narcissus Dance mat. Time to get building the full sized one. (Note - I'm moving my feet quickly in it, not being electrocuted)
