Okay, so... I have some thoughts on this game, but before I give this thing more of a try... I kind of wanna know: What's the red gun-looking thing after the early game door supposed to do? (I tried uploading a screenshot but itch complained, so...)
I haven't been able to figure out what to do with this, if anything is supposed to be done with it.
I'll say for now that I do like some of the ideas but I do think there's a lot of a way to go on a lot of it. I do have thoughts for some specific improvements that might help too, but I think I wanna see the bigger picture before I say too much.
That being said, I will say right now that jumping would probably feel a lot better in this if there was mid-air deceleration.
Like... if you stop holding either directional button, slowing down a little bit mid air would probably feel better than maintaining full speed, but if you keep holding, full speed should probably be maintained as-is.
Anyway, I do actually like aspects of the visuals that were, from what I can tell, specifically made for the game instead of used from other sources. I actually rather like the main character's animations for example!
That all now being said, I'm gonna hold off on finishing the game and giving more detailed thoughts until I know what this thing is supposed to do, in case it's supposed to be like, a weapon or something I can somehow equip and just haven't figured out how to, since that's what it looks like it is, but I can't figure out how to equip it if so.
