Very fun game! It looks and sounds wonderful. The game loop is addicting, easy to learn for those who don’t play bullet hell games that often.
Couple of bugs:
- Item randomization and buff stacking are broken. It often gives me the same buff over and over. Sometimes it’s absolutely OP (7x purple tea + frying pan), and sometimes it does absolutely nothing (5x dog ears + Megatron). When it goes wrong, even the first boss is very difficult to beat (I think it regenerates during the fight, so I was dealing next to none damage while wearing 5x dog ears). But when it goes VERY wrong (more than one monkey), the shooting becomes irrelevant… Needs huge rebalancing pass.
- I don’t feel like Megatron does anything, or it is not that obvious when it does. Maybe something like a visual or sound cue? The frying pan’s feedback is a perfect example.
- Music for 1st and 3rd bosses does not loop properly
- No SFX during the stage change
- Stage 3 has a massive difficulty jump even compared to Stage 2.
- 1st stage for the forth boss can be easily avoided if you have enough monkeys to deal damage, see the video
Some piwwos say that the frying pan is OP, but I think it is very fair because it has a wider hitbox and WILL wear out during the boss fights.
