Thanks for the feedback.
I think you're right about the turnrates; I'm gonna kick em up a notch. Do you mind me asking what aim sensitivity you were playing on?
Were you playing on controller? I wrote below that having a controller plugged in can mess with your button prompts

Insane progress since the last time I played.
>I dig the vector vision. Maybe it could be black green and cybery? Maybe not.
>It's funny this game has more vertical movement freedom than shrimp game lol. Feels good exploring the maps
>I like the hot girls. I was pretty horny today!
>Some of the sfx are pretty rough, but I assume a lot of them are just wip placeholders.
>I'd like more enemies to shoot like others have mentioned

Seems like you're getting close to some kind of vertical slice? Keep improving and polishing things! Keep it up!!

Your rmb skill is charge and release, so simply charge it until the bar is full then let go to use it. The earth ability needs you to aim at the ground. 

Some of the confusion you have is definitely valid, mostly a concession to it being a multipayer first game at the moment (no pausing when choosing stats, gameplay loop, pressure etc). 

Thanks for trying it!

Hard ass game and I respect the aesthetic. Didn't get very far tho

This game mogs so hard. I really don't have any meaningful feedback; I enjoyed what I played and I recognize the creator's intent clearly, I believe.
I'd continue to improve menu legibility and contrast, perhaps? Colors are a bit overly desaturated?
Still, top 3 current agdg game ez

An extremely polished and competent metroidlike. Probably the most visually cohesive game out of all of AGDG.
Some notes:
>I'd like more enemy damage feedback. Maybe play with scailing or knockback a bit more, or dare I say.... numbers?
>That said, the primary weapon feels GREAT to use imo
>Very impressive UI
>Music is phenomenal
>Camera limitations emerged during the first boss fight? I would've liked my aim tied to my cursor in that moment. I couldn't react fast enough to his dash since I couldnt see him
>Gotta have more taken damage indication
>I think when I die I get locked in the player menu?

Keep it up man.

Would you mind uploading a .zip version? ion wanna upgrade winrar or 7zip... I really wanna play though (big monkey ball fan)

Edit: Thanks for reuploading. Some feedback:
>Cute on-theme title menu. Though, make the menu buttons not so greyed out when scrolling over them? They should increase in opacity imo
>Right off the bat, I think the movement is way too drifty? Played a lot of monkey ball clones in my day... It seems like a central mechanic is going fast, why punish it?
>Enemy combat is kinda cool. I assume the player's knockback is tied to speed, so this kinda ties in with above. Don't punish players for going fast. Also, their knockback felt inconsistent. Do they have different knockback coefficients in the first level? I got bodied instantly by one of the last ones for doing a move that worked fine before...
>Gravity feels too low. I assume this is to justify the ramps? Feels pretty spacey
>Solid camera movement

You got a solid foundation here. Most things I mentioned can be ameliorated by simple number tweaks.
It's hard to deviate too much from the monkey ball movement scheme, simply because of how much they got right (see how even minor alterations in the player controller logic can ruin a game in the recent monkey ball remakes). Don't be afraid to stay close to home. Monkey ball with big boob women and some tweaks can be good

Brainlet here:
Not entirely sure if I understand the turn system and how it plays with the characters being recalled.
I think from a pure juice perspective I'd like to see this played at a higher level by the dev before I really say anything definitive. I'd like to see if this game rewards big huge satisfying board clear combos like I assume it would.
Otherwise, it's not very satisfying launching things at one or two blocks over and over? Like I alluded to, though, I could just be bad

I'm not too familiar with VS likes, but I had an okay time.
Not entirely sure if adding actives to an autoattack genre is secret sauce; I thought the whole point was to kind of turn your mind off and enjoy the dopamine machine?
Still, combat felt pretty good from a noob perspective. Upgrades could be simplified maybe? I think the UI could use some improvement in accessibility.
Maybe take nothing I said here seriously

Buncha new stuff. Some notes:
>Having a controller plugged in might make your control list display controller buttons instead of kbm. Don't be alarmed.
>Controller aiming isn't perfect yet. I recommend kbm for now.
>The new Sunken Polis map doesn't have an end game for solo mode yet. Still, check it out!
>There are secret puzzles on the Sunken Polis map... try to find them all!
>There's a playtest built up on steam if you want to play with mates:

Fun little game. I will say that you did a good job making my imagination run wild with your itch thumbnail...

This is really cute and fun. Good job

Crazy fast progress on this in typical pricklypear fashion. Will be excited to play this online tomorrow in the discord!

Still as funstrating as ever. This seems so much more polished than it was last time I played 1-2 years ago... Great job mate. Are you close to release?

Man that shotgun feels strong to use. Loving the color scheme and atmosphere. What are your plans for this?

Buncha new crap

There's a pressure bar on the left side of the HUD. It inhibits players from moving as high as they want in certain areas of the map (for pvp)
I'll do a better job of making it feel more intuitive in the future!

Damn. That's a bit of an old card... What framerate are you getting?
You could try lowering the resolution. That sometimes helps. I'll include graphical settings sometime soon
Here's the musician's yt btw: https://www.youtube.com/@Stereosuicidemusic

Great to play. Excited too see where this goes.
For testers reading this: catch an agdg stream Sunday evening (5/5/24) and we'll play it online!
Always got love for a fellow mp dev!

Type your name where it says "Platform:"

Strange. It should be "E" on most non-german keyboards...

Idk what coyote time is, but essentially allow the player to buffer a jump if in a certain distance from the ground

Pretty cool concept man. Is this based on the dice tetris board game?

I think the max downward gravity is a bit high
Getting on and off the trampoline should be smoother, getting locked on it jarring
I think there should be some jump frame grace period when *near* the ground if you know what I mean
I hate this game! Not bad!

For some reason I can't shoot at all? Or when I fire rmb it just blows up immediately?
Also, only room for one sea creature mech game dev, sorry buddy ;)

Not bad. I'd consider lowering the browser resolution maybe to fit the visuals a bit more... Maybe...

I think the mechanics here aren't SUPER interesting, but it's a start! Eager to see more interesting ones in the future

This game is awesome! Very cute and a breeze to play. I could see adding a bit more weight like blorbdev said, but over all I really enjoyed myself!

If you wanna play online, download the Steam playtest build and have Steam running:

Great feedback.
Don't hate the shrimp-themed species idea replacing the class names - just can't think of some. Like what would ice shrimp be? Earth shrimp?

Thanks bro
You can join the discord and hangout with some aggy devs if you ever wanna catch playtests: https://discord.gg/dsNAkTx

I don't have anything to add that others haven't already, but I did want to point out how good of a job you did with the color palette among other things. It's a great looking game

Pretty solid start. AI is pretty simple, and I can tell the performance dips in some places as others have mentioned.
I assume this is a prototype, so not much specific to say. I will say, though, I recommend cockpit-maxxing as much as possible. Nothing gets me more in the mood for these games than a good-ass cockpit HUD

Thank you brother

CHEERS BRO
I'll boot up yours next!

There can only be one rotmg-inspired game in the jam, sorry. It's just too niche of a genre

Nah I lie. I can tell this is very basic but setting up MP is a triumph in it's own right (I should know).
Check out GotAD Remastered (in this jam) when you get the chance, would like to get feedback from a fellow rotmg chad.
