Thanks for leaving such detailed feedback! I agree on the bottom wall. If expanded, game would go in the ridiculous build direction with upgrades, you can already achieve some pretty broken stuff with rifle bullets, shotgun muzzle, burst module but I want there to be more. Health in the shop would be a massive QOL addition, perhaps if we made it so the shop doesn't close after you leave that would be nice. "It's broken" was the gun starting in a weak state, and "Through the teeth" was going to be the shopkeeper ending up being the final boss. I ended up scrapping that as gameplay more important. Again thanks for writing such a thought out message.
Yes, some meta goals between rooms would have added some additional purpose, and I think the remedy to fight positioning might be making the tears disappear. I would probably want to rebalance the shop prices if that were the case :)
Yeah the original idea was to theme each room, e.g a Library, a solarium, a dining hall, etc. Sadly ran out of time to add more art. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Thanks for your feedback! The game does currently prevent them from spawning too near you, but perhaps widening that radius or making a spawn animation where they cant hurt you would work... I really like that idea, thanks. Perhaps I will implement it if I make a post-jam version of the game.
Thank you! I am considering adding the final boss and finishing out the story post-jam. There were many planned features which I had to cut to focus on gameplay loop.
This was quite fun, I found myself missing real terminal shortcuts like right click to paste and a full command history with the up arrows. I think having tabs in the browser would have been sick. I got pretty into it however, nice work. The slack notification scared the heck out of me!
Loved the sound design, the monitor hum, the keystrokes, etc. Super good presentation of the concept. Only thing I felt like it was missing was gameplay, it felt more like a choose your own adventure type situation. The writing was great however, and I think it is exactly what you planned it to be so lets consider it a success.
I love that you can jump on the ghoul's head. My favorite part of the game is when he chases you down a dead end and you jump on his cranium and slip away. Feels super fun.
I really like the concept of this game, I think to maximise it having randomized generation for each run and making it restart, or having checkpoints along the way would be cool. Cart upgrades like a ram would be cool. I was impressed that the floating skulls have pathfinding.
Thank you! I had planned to add a final bossfight against the shopkeeper once he gets enough tears from you... maybe I'll make a post-jam version with that..
Love what you've got going graphically, and the steering felt fun and go-kart like. I wish the car didn't instantly stop when you let go of forward, it would be cool if there was coasting.
I love the boss design, Revive mechanic, etc! I was able to just go up the elevator right off the bat if I wanted though it seems. Also the spritework is awesome!!!
