Love the character sprites, would've liked having the controls on the itch page or somewhere in the game (I do have a lower resolution monitor, so that may lead to some things getting cut off).
Personally, its a bit confusing that your loose condition is the same as what you're meant to be doing (holding slimes). Maybe having the black slimes grab on to the characters' limbs by re-parenting them to the character could make it feel more "this is not what you're supposed to be doing" by not engaging with the kink.
It's pretty good! I'd personally like more clarity on what mining the ores did because as far as I could tell, they didn't do anything except take more hits to break. Also for the Multiplier, a bar showing how much you've build up to the next multiplier would also be nice, or just have a tooltip for the multiplier tell you how it works (because Im still not certain how it works lol).
The art is lovely, the scroll up and down to view more of the cave is neat, the screenshake adds a great feeling of weight to your actions.
Thanks! The 2D pathfinding is actually way easier to set up than you'd expect thanks to Godot's built-in NavigationAgent2Ds that you can just set a target position and Godot basically handles the rest. People seem to be interested in it, so I might keep working on it :)
I found the controls for the hypnosis bit to be a bit unintuitive, maybe using the scroll wheel could cycle between the receptors to pick which one was active? It was also a bit hard to tell when I was correctly aligning them at first, but I picked up on the chimes, which have a really nice sound. Also didn't realize I could click and drag to look around the room until I got to the third receptor lol. (this may be a monitor issue, I have a 1440x900 ) The text also was a bit hard to read for me, but that also might be a monitor issue.
Personally, I love what you did here. The player's model is pretty neat, love how the game makes you participate in the hypnosis by following the spiral. Good work!
Totally forgot about valid path checks for delivering items, thanks for bringing that up. The mouse button thing was actually a debug thing I added to test the map system and forgot to disable lol.
The trail idea sounds pretty interesting to experiment with! If I come back to this project, that and upgradable structures would definitely be on the top of my to-do list.
Yeah, I didn't really go into this jam with a plan besides "I wanna make little dudes do things", so there isn't really much of a game. Thank you for playing it though! :)
Idle thoughts were a wishlist item for the jam, but I am working on making them a thing.
Honestly never thought of just having the thoughts be options to progress story paths, I'll try looking into it when I have time. The dialouge system actually used to do something similar, where you would need to click the thought bubble within a certain time or it would disappear, ending a conversation early and the host would say something different. I changed it to it's current behavior like the day before submission because it was hard to tell that you needed to click on them to actually do something. That, and it would be weird to have the host talking to you without unlocking having a host in case the player skipped the unlock.
Ignoring thoughts increased an acceptance counter and clicking on them increased a resistance counter, but neither are used for anything in the current version of the game.
Buy all was added in an update (you right click an upgrade to do that). The phone a friend technically upgrades itself the more you use it, increasing the number of thrusts the friend can do, but I'll probably add some upgrades to the ability itself. Thank you for playing my game :)
the game is very barebones, so there's like 2 behaviors and all the enemies have the same(non-scaling) stats. i figured people would rather see tf than more mechanically interesting enemies so i put most of my effort there rather than making a balanced gameplay experience.
It was my first time actually making pathfinding, so it's pretty unoptimized. I've got a few ideas on how I can speed it up, though. Thank you for playing my game!
