I love the game and think it has incredible potential! The art, music, and core mechanics are fantastic, but I have a suggestion to enhance the gameplay. Currently, enemies start moving as soon as the level begins and stay in motion regardless of the player’s actions. However, since enemy movement is first triggered when the player aims, it feels like the game is hinting at a more dynamic mechanic.
What if enemies only moved while the player was holding the aim? This would create a deliberate tradeoff where aiming not only sets up the player’s movement but also allows enemies to advance. To complement this, the aiming system could include a two-stage bar, similar to The Pathless:
- Holding the aim until fully charged would allow the player to fly to the target but lets enemies advance for the full duration, increasing the challenge.
- Releasing the aim at the 50% mark would still let the player fly to the target but would cut enemy movement time in half, rewarding quick reflexes and precision.
In this system, players must release their aim at these specific windows—either at the 50% mark or when fully charged—for their movement to activate. Releasing at any other point would result in no action, forcing players to carefully time their releases.
This approach ties movement and combat together seamlessly, encouraging players to balance planning and execution. It could elevate the game to an even more engaging and strategic experience.
Keep up the amazing work—I’m excited to see how the game evolves!
