General game discussion
Just had another idea! you should make the music affected by the player movement and actions, similar to Ape Out, the Devolver Digital game. that game has a jazz soundtrack, and when you hit something or throw something the drums crash in and it makes you feel like your composing the music. I think this would be perfect for your game, as you could have a beautiful melody lightly playing when you're floating in the air, and have piano keys play when you hit a wall, so how you play determines how the music sounds. If you're able to gracefully soar through all the obstacles, the music will come out gracefully and smooth, but if you continuously are hitting walls the music will come out louder and faster, creating a sort of controlled chaos. Love the new levels btw!
Thanks for the amazing feedback!
1 - Will be in the next update. There will be 2 play buttons in the menu - Play(Level Select) and Speedrun which will start at the first bounce/bump on the first level and each time you hit the end trigger of the level the timer will stop, load the next level, and start back up.
2 - Restart button will most likely be R by default, but I am open to suggestions. The button will restart level for level mode and go back to level 1 for speedrun mode. No promises on keybinds currently, as I am planning on switching to Unity's new input system, but I will look into it.
3 - A next level button for level mode sounds pretty great. I will plan to add that in.
Level Editor - I might make the first 10 levels and then start work on this, we'll see though.
Customization - For sure something I want to add in the future, I do like the idea of completing the level to gain its colors.
I'm glad you mentioned it! It helps me understand what people want out of this game. I do want to keep the game as simple and fun as possible, but still maintain challenge. I might've gone a bit overboard on the wind out of excitement, but for future levels I will try to keep balance in mind.
Thank you again!
Both will come sometime in the future. My current focus is gameplay, but after probably 10 total levels I will start on things such as those.
I did have some ideas for customizing the player past colors, such as different bumpers/shapes which do different things, e.g., circle rolls, triangle breaks, but I won't know if they work until I test them. That said, these are future ideas. Though, I am open to ideas and suggestions for the future.
I managed to get back to the level after completing it. (Pig)
All you need to do is fall through the floor winning hole and go into the side winning hole
I do plan on moving future updates of the game to just testers soon, if you are interested in being a tester, consider joining the discord, if you haven't already.
