Getting the feeling of the dashing right took some time.

Platformer version was miles better

[TNERB]

I prefer the top down version, everybody and their moms make platformers.

[Quarry]

So what, it's quality, not quantity

[GentlestOfGentlemen]

The floorboards make no sense at the size they are in comparison to everything else. It almost seems like mixing resolutions (even though it's not) because of how the scale is done on the cracks and whatnot.

[antoniodamala]

Even though i do like the idea, bumping doesn't feel fun, it feels repetitive. Things don't really react, and there isn't much variety of bumps.

Looking forward to new builds.

edit:  about the new build: improved, but the problems are the same.

Ugh god yeah. And it also highlights the fact that the floor is tiled because some parts of the paneling are smaller than others, and the non uniformity within each tile makes each one stand out and makes the repetition really noticeable.

Cell, if you want the non uniform look, you should use decals like blood or moss to decorate the tiles, but keep the tiles uniform. Also, this might look pretty good with some dynamic lighting, if you can manage.

Hi internet troll.

Ye.

Yeah i kinda got that feeling too, i'll see if i can get it to look better.

Yeah, that's kinda a serious problem with the mechanics. Hopefully enemies that require you to hit them in the back, fire bullets at you will vary up the combat. Outside of the combat there will be lotso variety but the main thing should be fun. Got any ideas/pointers/etc?

Yeah i'll try sir. I had the idea of populating the level a bit more with more non-prop objects to vary up the level. Moss is a great idea. (had the idea of random plants and such)

Still in development and some of these things are to be fixed naturally but feedback is what makes it actually become more obvious what the problems are and how to fix them. Keep the feedback up! :D

Also, thoughts on shop system? (i sorta got idea which is basically a ripoff of tboi/paranautical activity/etc with three items with different costs randomly generated)

Just some ideas from the top of the head:
-What about the further you bump the bigger the power/distance the bump goes? Then you add some pitfalls or spikes, things that makes the map dangerous, and that will make the game far harder and interesting (I think).
-Add a stamina bar so you have to weigh your movement
-Maybe add a special bar, so you could hold the button and use a more powerful bump.
-Monster have different weights and body types, some will reflect you, some will be practically isolated, some will barely move, etc.
-Make skills that only happen when you hit something, e.g. when you hit something it explodes after three seconds, hit and stun, etc.
-Chain reactions.

*Spikes and such, more hazardous things in the levels planned!
*Stamina bar is cool idea but i don't know if it'll work with the current setup. (timedelay between attacks, all about staying in motion.
*An extra activate able ability is coming
*yeah other enemy types are planned
*Yup more items with effects coming
*Chain reactions, they're already in there but more power could be added.

I also got ogg files to work (sound and music) while writing this post D:

[Whiteclaws]

Hey , Cell , You should atleast display the HP of the enemies ... because it's hard to know how much you deal and how much they have left

[Quarry]

I wasn't trolling, learn to take criticism; current version gets tedious very quickly

[Pemanent]

current version gets tedious very quickly

I agree with this guy.
It seems like you have some good ideas planned to spice things up a bit.
I actually really like the idea and am definitely following this.
