i noticed the web version was very laggy for me which is strange, because it doesn't seem like it would be laggy, good use of the theme, i felt very hot playing :)

Developer

Did you read the "Game Running Slow??" section in the description? It may be more likely related to the browser you're using.

Great game! The controls are a little hard to understand at first (the gun), but after getting the hang of it, it was a really nice feature. The idea of this game is pretty good too, and I like how you put scriptures around the tower with the story inside. I will say, though, that the sussy wussy thing is extremely scary. (I'm not spoiling it for others)

Developer

thanks bro! And sorry about that— I tried to make it pretty scary on purpose though I might've gotten a bit too excited 😅
But hey, thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm also very glad that you've enjoyed the game and story!

Hmm I haven't really understood the "jump" mechanic when you shoot below you, sometimes you jump high sometimes not...

Developer(+1)

Oh yes, you get an extra jump boost by using the gun while jumping up versus using it while falling down. It's a weird small detail I added while working on the gravity system for this game, the idea is if you're trying to soft land you get a mini boost, but also the gravitational force isn't completely canceled. I think it's a nice touch though I realized it was kinda useless since you're always trying to go up in this game lol
I still kept it in the project cause it took a while to add in, I should've updated it more though. 

Thanks for the feedback!

The visual effects were great! I didn't really see how the theme was implemented. The menu was amazing! Gameplay wise the game was fun!

Developer

I interpreted the theme "overheat" as high temperature or anything super hot, so I associated it with the sun and flames. That aside though, I'm really glad that you enjoyed the game!

fun game with a really polished menu but i had an issue where i had to hold shift for the controls to work

Developer(+1)

Huh... make sure your caps lock isn't on! For movement, the keys are coded to be lowercase "wasd" keys. If you have caps lock on, then holding shift would revert them back to lowercase, though turning off your caps lock should be easier than holding shift. Try again and lemme know if the issue is there.

Yep i accidentally had caps lock on😩😩😔😔

It's a beautiful game. I don't know the password, even with the hint. The rest of the game is really cool

love the menus and the color pallet :) 

Developer(+1)

I'm glad to hear that :) The menu took up most of my time but looks like it was worth it. Thanks for playing!

UI in the menu was really captivating, gameplay is a bit frustrating, but nice work. The jumpscare totally threw me off guard :D

Developer (2 edits)

yeah I should've spend a bit more time on the game and less on the menu 😅— maybe then I would've been able to complete my vision for this game. I'm glad you enjoyed it though! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. And sorry about the jumpscares lol, that was my first time making a game with them I should've probably added a warning inside the project

Developer

lol glad you enjoyed it though, thanks for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! The main menu is amazing XD

Developer

Submitted(+1)

Developer

Thanks!! I had so little time yet I wasted more than HALF OF IT on the menu lmao, I'm glad someone appreciates it

Learning the controls was a little hard but once I did it was very fun. Those monsters are scary!
