I really enjoyed the feeling of exploring and discovery in this game. I felt a couple times like I was making genuine decisions about where I wanted to go and I didn't really know what I was going to find there (even though you'd shown me some of the stuff you were working on!) The boss fights are challenging and the character is cute as hell.
Thank you, and also thanks for contributing with the music, everyone enjoyed it, if I could have made it better it would have more boss and power up diversity.
music was super dope, and i got to discover myself. thanks for the inclusion of the checkpoints, such a wise, often forgot of feature that i was so glad to have implemented. good work. :)
Thank you, the music was made by my friend ohcurtains. Funny you mention the checkpoints, those were actually the hardest thing to implement and I actually think I made a bad job at it, but that’s a lesson I got out of this jam, I need to structure the scene better.
Short but fun game. I like Metroidvania style games and hoped for a bit more to explore. The second and third boss feel a bit repetitive, especially the last one. But I really love the boss music.
Thanks, if I had more time and knowledge I would have more fleshed out boss fights, but the ones I developed took quite a bit of time, but that’s mostly because of the way I structured the project as a whole.
Btw, all the music was made by ohcurtains, please, if you have time, check out his entry, You’re Toast.
Simple and nice game play and art style
Really like the simple colors
Good Work!
Thanks, it almost wasn’t like this, I did the backgrounds, UI and added the sounds 4 hours before the deadline, Thank you very much for playing.
It was a nice learning experience for me. Glad you liked it as well!
Fun game! I like the simplistic but cute graphical style, the controls feel good, and the gameplay is entertaining. The boss battles are fun! Great job on the submission.
Thanks, I’m glad you found it cute, because at the moment, it’s the maximum I can do with some quality.
Nice Godot game, playable in the browser.
I like the simple platform style and the "quick story" with the hints of what you have to do/find.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, I would have had a 4th boss, but it was scrapped due to the jam.
Nice one! The controls feel responsive and the music is super chilled out =) I haven't made it to the end yet but I'll try. *thumbs up*
Thanks for playing, the music was made by ohcurtains, checkout his entry, it has even more awesome music
Cool Metroid-vania prototype! I would love to see this fleshed out some more. You should check out coyote timing (also known as ledge tolerance) - that usually makes the jumping feel a little better with platformer physics.
Oh, thank you, honestly I was more inspired to do something more akin to megaman, but I had to put in metroid-vania mechanics to give a sense of progression.
Also thanks for the heads up I’ll look into this topic, the jumping I did was pretty basic, I just rewrote the player model of the platformer example with some tweaks for me, that’s why the jumping feels a little bit meh, because it was rushed.
I also liked the Isometric style of your game, was that difficult to do in gamemaker studio? I’ve actually been learning c++ just so I could use javidx engine to do an Isometric game, as he demonstrated in a video.
Once you get the camera set up right in GMS and put together a way to get data into a vertex buffer, it's actually not too bad. I'm generating level data into a 2d array with a recursive backtracking maze generator and a handful of pre-defined arrays (for like obstacle and enemy layouts within a room). Then every time the player moves to a new room, I loop through that data and overwrite a global vertex buffer with vertices - the vertices all need x, y, z coords and uv texure coords. I use bitmasking on the array data to determine where walls need to be. The 3d is entirely aesthetic (though drawing everything with vertex buffers does offload a lot to the GPU and buys me a pretty big performance boost) - collisions and stuff are 2d tile based (there's a tile map/layer that never gets drawn for that).
In my source code, you can see how the camera is setup in the object GAME under its draw event and all the functions for building the maps are in the script "Level" (the GameMaker Studio 2.3 update was huge and added (among other things) structs, functions, and normal multi-dimensional array syntax).
Nice Game! The music is pretty good as well.
How did you embed it into your page? Can you embed JS into your home page here? I didn't see any options to do something like that.
Thank you, the music was made by my friend ohcurtains, please check out his submission “You’re Toast”, it’s a really cool top down shooter where you are a toaster.
For embedding the game into the page, when submiting, I selected the option for a browser playable game and uploaded a .zip file with the index.html together with the other files necessary for that page to work and the rest is itch.io magic, the engine I used let’s me export my game to HTML5, that’s how I got it to be browser playable, the engine exports it using web assembly and java script.
Oh ok Thanks, I wanted just to add an animated banner or something to my main page.
