0.0.3
Love the update. I don't know if you did anything movement-wise, but for some reason, it seemed smoother. Also, nice to see the level generation is working well! Honestly, everything done in this update has no faults and is a clear improvement from 2.0, and it's instantly noticeable.
Just while playing and between my last comment, I did come up with a few ideas that maybe you could explore in the next or far-future updates:
- Maybe a charge shot for gun types. Through playing, I was always wanting to hold down the shoot button to charge a shot that, of course, took some time but did more damage. Maybe while charging, your move speed could be reduced by half or something.
- Of course, this is more for a future update, but I'd be quite interested if the world had a story behind it. Certainly doesn't need to be "deep" or anything, especially for this genre of game, yet maybe you could do something where somehow you got trapped in a cave filled with monsters and they all "want you."
- Once again, more of a future idea, but I'd like to see some smaller rooms. Actually, of course, with this sort of game, bigger rooms are really better, but I would like to see the occasional one-screen room.
- Boss room: Of course, as I can visually see, you have an endpoint of the level set out, but like the games it's based on, maybe a big room with a boss. I mean, another idea to make it more unique is you don't actually have to fight the boss on a floor, but if you do, it provides a benefit. Of course, like on some of the floors, make it mandatory to do so, though.
