Hey, thanks for taking the time to write about the game. It's very helpful to get a bunch of feedback.
Lemme respond to your feedback as best I can :)
"Bad
Whenever I use that item list, the audio goes totally wack.
If I click off the game, and scroll down here, the audio keeps repeating itself, like how Team Fortress 2 used to crash for me. Also clicking off the game just stops the audio when it didn't use to, and I personally like the soundtrack of the game."
- The audio issues are unfortunately due to my using FMOD. Since browser games run single threaded, audio stutters can happen if too much is going on at once. And yeah, the music not working/stuttering when you leave the web page is another unfortunate side effect of using fmod, so sorry about that. Unfortunately I can't really do anything about it.
"The level titles feel a bit intrusive. Maybe instead of covering the entire screen for a while then disappearing, it could appear on the bottom left for a while and then go away."
- Fully agree with you on this one. I'll make a note to change that for the next update.
" I don't like the shopping cart animation for getting items, and also it sorta snaps out of existence once it's done. Plus if you get a lot of items it takes ages to finish. Maybe it could fade out too."
- I guess I could make it go faster if you have more items? I think it adds a lot of clarity for newer players, and I don't really want to take it out.
" I HEAVILY disagree with the ability to get buffs in the store by using stars."
- Why's that? I think it's nice to have some roguelite progression run-after-run.
"Wasn't there a game over music? Now it's just silent."
- I don't think there ever was, but I'll add something there.
"The funk with throwing items like Clay Pot is still present. Also the Bow's aim is off, the center projectile it fires is not"
- Ehhh yeah they're a little whack but honestly it's a fair bit of work to fix that, and I'm kinda short on time. I'll consider it. As for bow, thanks for the tip, I'll fix that.
Good
"I really love the new title screen music. Such a jam."
- Thank you! I'm super happy with how it turned out too.
"Map preview is VERY VERY GOOD. I love it!"
- Been meaning to do this one for a while, glad it works for ya.
"Hints are nice, they feel like they could help."
- Definitely some work still to make them better, but they're a start.
"I REALLY REALLY LIKE the cosmetics."
- Thanks! We'll slowly add more.
"New sound effects too, like throwing Thunderspear, or using Motor. That's really cool!"
- Thanks! Sound effects took a lot of work, but they really bring life to the game right?
"Is it just me, or is there some sort of change to the art? I'm not sure, but if it is there I like it."
- We cleaned up a lot of stuff, so it's probably subtly better.
"Test Zone is a great addition."
- Could probably also use some adjustments, but yeah I think it helps :)
Anyways thanks for the feedback! The next update won't be coming for a while tbh (probably like 2 months), but when it does you'll see a lot of these changes in the game :)
