Thank you so much giving it a try and some valuable feedback. Much appreciated!
Funny that you mentioned to skip the grid-movement completely. I was think the same the other day as CryptRat mentioned that the guns could / should be used while moving. I think that could bring more action / flow to the game. The grid based movement was primarily introduced for this Jam as I wanted to explore gird movement in combination with free movement. I think it can work but needs tweaking or the complete removal of the grid movement. I have to think about it, better just try it out and see how it feels.
And you’re right, the chain colliders are way to small and hard to hit, so yeah they have to get bigger. Also I agree that the spawning of the Lost Souls should be somehow different or maybe you could just ram them with your Boat so you not always have to stop and free them if you actually wanted just to drive a nice round through the eerie Ocean and explore it. I think I have to refine my design so it has more flow to it and promotes more exploration with the occasional fight in between.
What you think?
