Fun game! I saw you were using UE4 instead of UE5, and I have to say I respect the hustle! I personally used UE5 for my project but after going through the project settings for countless optimizations, I can see why you went with UE4 for the game jam! In the end I guess it all worked out for me and I made something pretty cool, but it looks like you were able to make some much more high performance stuff here!
thanks! i learned UE4 a while back and i never really got into using UE5, i guess i just like the workflow of 4 better :)
The core gameplay is really fun and aesthetically pleasing! Its super neat how the game gets easier the closer you get to losing the game.
Really wish I had a timer on screen so I know how G A M E R mode I was going but other than that, a great submission.
thanks a ton! the timer was certainly on my list to implement, but i never got around to it sadly. cheers!
Half a gig download! That said i didn't make it past the menu screen, what am i supposed to press.
in case you're still interested in playing, you're already controlling the player character in the title screen and you just need to navigate downwards to the star using the movement keys. thanks!
