Hey nice game, I like the walking sound and animation it feels very impactful, its a bit weird that the walking sound stops/reduces volume while the lantern is on, there are a lot of options in the menu aswell, good job!
Nice game : "zapper" is cool. Good job.
I win in the second attemp! :D
Good SFX, the zapper was a nice addition too.
Thank you !! I tried to put good detail in the SFX so this means a lot!
A game this simple can certainly work. One Finger Death Punch is proof enough of that.
That said, there are problems in this game, particularly surrounding the charge up mechanic. I was lucky to guess the controls for this game, too. While you're charging, though, the wisps assume you are slightly further than you actually are, so they miss.
You have much more to learn in Godot. Please, do come back in January and try again.
I appreciate the criticism! But while yes there is a lot wrong with my game, it can be encouraging to add in some positives in a review. Knowing what I did right can be just as helpful as knowing what I did wrong.
Also, saying to come back and "try again", kinda tells me that I 'failed' and need to 'retry', especially after only saying negatives about the game.
Nonetheless thank you for taking your time to play my game and provide some issues you found, its a valuable thing in game dev and I do appreciate it.
I have been hearing about that, I'll need to alter that ending phrase for the future.
I do agree about trying to look for more positives. From the perspective of a learning experience, these would come from the Godot mechanics you would attempt to apply, such as staying true to collision boxes instead of saying "If this projectile flies for an amount of time, then the player was damaged."
Take it in stride. You'll get there if you keep going, even if I didn't happen to be nice on this go around.
