Hey, thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts! Yes, you pretty much need a controller to play. When we made this we ran into keyboard ghosting issues where some keyboards wouldn't detect several keys being pressed at once.

thank you! I know, ran out of time on the boss :(

unfortunately Unreal Engine can't export that way any more.

Don't over scope your project if you want to finish it for the jam. Scope is probably one of the most difficult things to limit for new game devs/jammers. You should try to complete a single level or a single vertical slice of the game then polish it up.  Take whatever idea you have and write down the core mechanics for it then put anything else into a document that you can call "Stretch Goals." 

You can also try to join a team with other people who have done jams before and that will let you learn a lot about it.

I loved the aesthetic of this! It was a bit slow paced for me but I did find it enjoyable to track down all the money pick ups and I loved the boss fight, although I only had 1 health left and didn't get to really fight him (A checkpoint here would have been great).

Are you trying to play solo with 2 controllers?

For as simple as this was it was pretty fun! I really liked the upgrade system but some text to explain what they were would have been a good improvement.

Hey there, sorry about that. Please try to download the zip folder I just uploaded. Hope that helps and thanks for letting me know!

Hi, I'd like to add my game to the bundle! https://lightloopgames.itch.io/above-the-fallen Thank you!

Hey thanks! We actually took the concept from this game we made during a jam and ran with it. Check out the demo for Metal Shell: Neon Pulse and let us know what you think. It's free on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/819460/Metal_Shell_Neon_Pulse/
