Sorry I got ahead of myself because my jaw dropped the first seconds I played the game.
The game intro and the animation from the boss made me OH SHIT, and without thinking I immediately went and give my regards
But after playing through the entirety. It's not a game jam winner, but it's still good! And I was not expecting such an absurd amount of juice from the get go. Like WOW. The recoil felt good and the shooting felt really good as well...
But the game is sadly not done and the boss just stopped moving after a while. Which is a shame, I really liked the concept but it needs more time in the oven. And more room for the mouse , it's tough to get out of corners. Maybe make the game happen in a bigger rectangle that way we can have more space. Good entry! Also I liked the Celeste style hairstyle!
Lmao, thank you very much xD
Yeah the boss softlock is something I really shouldn't have overlooked, I won't be letting something like this slide again on the future, that's for sure.
And the game was pretty rushed indeed, I planned on doing way more stuff (even overscoped a bit for the fun of it), but hey, I'm glad everyone is already having fun with what I got out done :)
Also, for the mouse space issue, you can hold Z to invert your aiming, so that makes Yu shoot herself to the direction of the mouse instead of the opposite of it, this should help you manauver more efficiently.
Okay the movement became 3X times better when I applied what you said and I realized that you have a sick scythe attack as well. The movement and combat is really solid! I really love the mechanic. Idk if you plan on continuing it and I'd understand if you did not, but I hope the best for that game.
thanks again :>
Control scheme is actually something I'm very proud of, so I'm really glad you like it!
A little sad fun fact is that the scythe was initially going to be a parrying tool and there was gonna be more mechanics related to that, but I didn't had time to do it lol, so it ended up as just a very cool looking way to move slowly.
I've been considering to continue this game for a bit, but honestly I'm still unsure since I'm also aiming to participate on the next Metroidvania Month which starts already this week, and I also have some other projects on my head I wanna do for the funsies, both game dev and non-game dev related. But who knows, maybe I can get back to this again someday
