I liked the mix of 2d and 3d sprites, I think you ran into a bug where if dialogue is open from dialoguemanager at the same time as a pickup prompt, you cant click on the pickup prompt. You can solve that by queue_free ing whatever balloon you have open when a pickup prompt opens up. Good game otherwise though!

Developer

Thanks for the tip! I didn't think to test that. I also wanted to pause the game at the beginning and end dialogue, but keep animations going and it wasn't quite working out, so I decided to let you run around with the dialogue going.

"That looks like a real game, not like yours"

You see, I am actually haunted by a real life lying girlfriend.

Developer

Glad you liked it . . . ?

I did. Victory included. But tbh I didn't use any combos at all, and only saw the key bindings afterwards in the description. I thought the upgrades were the "you are being lied to" part...

Developer

Hahahaha that's actually pretty funny. Yeah I wanted to add a tutorial into the game, but I'm still learning to prioritize. This is my second game jam. First one I really didn't have a playable game, so I focused on that this time over everything else.

lovely, enjoyed the 3d env with 2d sprites. Plays well, but wish it played with the theme a bit more thoroughly

Developer

Thank you. There's actually a whole haunted castle level that I made but just didn't get time to hook up. But I appreciate the feedback. What would have made it better theme-wise for you?

Nice! That was fun. I appreciated the story, and I think you could do a lot more with it by adding more levels and expanding the narrative. The combat was a little choppy, but movement felt great, and I got the hang of it all by the end. Nice sounds and music too!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, you can read the Postmortem DevLog to see what I intended. I wanted to go back and tweak the collisions for the combat. One of the problems I noticed near the end was you couldn't face your enemy if you were collided with it. I definitely learned a lot this time.
