Thank you so much! Great to hear the feedback. I will definitely take it into consideration for future games. I want to create a prequel or sequel to Tintagel in the future and will definitely consider tweaking the pacing on the stages.
Appreciate the support and happy to hear you enjoyed it! :)
Hey, thanks for the support! I think I know which level you are talking about. You need to run on the ice, then jump toward the right and hook the wall behind you on the left. Please let me know if that helps :)
Hi! Sorry for the frustration this may have caused you. and thanks for reporting the issue. "Leaving a screen to the right by jumping sometimes results in not being visible on the next screen, followed by instant death (with a sound effect like when you fall)"
Are you seeing this in a specific area? Or is this reproducible everywhere?
Haha, that's awesome. I am glad you are enjoying it. Yeah, It was a bit of a toss up with the level length. I had to consider the difficulty when determining how long levels should be. Checkpoints are also placed in such a way that shouldn't feel too brutal. I think the options really help folks play the game their own way which is honestly better than not enjoying the game at all, so I am happy its helping people out.
"My only suggestion is to change "start game" to "continue game" if save data is found. My poor heart skips a beat every time I boot up the game & think my progress has been lost LOL" Noted for the future, sorry about that haha.
I am currently focusing on another project targeting PC, but once that wraps, I would love to explore a sequel or even prequel on the playdate for Castle Tintagel. I have some ideas for a follow up and have learned a lot from player feedback.
Appreciate the support! Hope you enjoy the rest of the game :)
Hi Great Asset! Looks like some stray pixels are being exported alongside the sprite sheet. The current dim of the generated sheet is 256x912 which is divisible by 64 only along the width. This is what I am seeing when opening the .png file. Please advise, thank you! :)
There is an unlimited lives checkbox in the options menu. Please let me know if you are unable to see that option, thanks for playing and hope that helps!
As a workaround for now, once you start the first level hit the menu button and select the “Exit Area” option. This will save your progress and you won’t have to see the intro again.
I thought about this, but I think the individual options provide the most flexibility. In the future I’ll build a better system around this. Appreciate the feedback overall. Thank you
Hey! No worries! The build is updated on both itch and catalog so feel free to apply the update. You will see an unlimited lives checkbox in the settings. Hope you enjoy the rest of the game! Thanks for playing.
Hi, When you beat the first boss(The Ogre) you should have completed the level and not have to replay the first level. Your progress will be saved. There is a playthrough I put together here that may help you along the way. The game is difficult yes, but it is not unfair. I never set out to make a game that is just difficult for the sake of being difficult. Every moment is calculated and is tested to ensure its fair.
Thank you! You shouldn’t have to restart levels. There is a save feature between level completion so completed levels should not have to be restarted. I will consider more difficulty options though. Thank you for the feedback :)
Hi! As a workaround, you can actually leave the first area after the dialogue segment with Merlin. Go To Overworld when opening the menu. This will trigger a save so you won’t have to see the opening again should you run out of lives on the first stage.
I’ll look into adding a crank to skip option, thanks for the feedback.
Hi! Yes it was definitely tricky to get the right amount of contrast with the player and the backgrounds. The enemies tend to have a white outline to draw attention to them as the backgrounds are relatively dark. Thanks for the support!
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. The game does save progress between level completion so you don't have to completely replay a level once its complete. Nonetheless, appreciate the feedback and I will look into ways to add options for new players.
Hi, please email the logs to pixelatedopus@gmail.com and thank you! Immediate death when entering the room is a known issue I am currently working on fixing.
