minor notes. the sounds were hilarious and I liked them a lot. the particle effects were very cool, leaning more into that vibe would be neat. I really struggled at first with the platforming--it seemed punishing in exactly the wrong kind of way until I realized the 'trick' to levitating up the vine mesh without falling is just to follow the spiral. more feedback for when your hose sucks and when it doesn't is needed. since the game doesn't seem loseable, the difficulty setting seems somewhat redundant--perhaps it should be adaptive? just rambling thoughts. I had a good time.
What thoughtful and kind feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed your time with it! I’m especially glad the audio made you laugh
I think a lot of the less-good things you point out are things we came to realize in the making: bugs were a late addition and didn’t get nearly as much design time (my fault specifically) and that in the end-game there’s some diminishing value to a lot of early-game activities/being on the ground at all. I think we might expand on things in the future, but it’s edifying to get this feedback.
I need to take a run through a bunch of the other 7dfps games, yours in particular looks rad as hell!
