A very simple thing you could add that gives the game a dynamic and lively feeling is slooowly increasing the speed of the music over time. You can do that in just a few lines of code in Godot, and with the simple background music, it would work very well in adding intensity.
I found it a bit odd that the player wasn't affected by the tentacles at all, but that could be a neat additional mechanic, forcing the player to run around to block enemies as well.
Really liked the campfire dimming effect. Great entry! 🎉
Simple enough twin-stick shooter. Sprites are pretty cute and I I do enjoy a good lighting effect. Minor nitpick is that the player character’s “darkness hitbox” could have been aligned a bit better, other than that, the game worked fine. Nice job!
Thanks you for your kind words !
Player sprite was the very laser thing I've done in the 3h period, and I ran out of time to adjust the light occluder...
Looking forward to play your game once I come back from work :)
Hello Cul de Grace (I assume you are french ? So am I!)
Thanks you so much for this extensive feedback. It is precious to have this kind of return as a beginner :)
As you said, visuals are definitely something hard for me. They are the last thing I've made in this jam, so they are indeed pretty rushed and barebone (not mentioning my complete lack of affinity with any visual art in general). That's a skill I will train along my gamedev journey ! My main priority todaI is first to write a code that works haha. I really want to do everything from the ground up for each jam as much as possible, so that I can learn and improve step by step. This might take a long time, but I hope i'll be able to produce something decent one day, regarding visuals, sounds, gameplay and so on.
Thanks again, I'll try out your game once I can :)
Cheers
I love the tentacles design !
