Hey there buddy, I do declare, nice project you got going there. I've noticed you're making it in Godot, and I was wondering if maybe you could use some help to carry out some of the grunt work, I have more than enough free time on my hands as of now.
What do I get out of it? Tbh I just wanna help give Godot some recognition, it's a great engine, free and open-source. Good alternative for "$2 per footstep" engine and "Lol what is 2D even" engine. I also kinda want to get some experience working with others and pretty much have a good time.
Do let me know if you're interested, I'd love to try and help out :3c
Do you have a discord for your game? I'd love to chat about it more directly at some point, and I'm looking forward to supporting it's development once I have the spare cash to provide.
I like you not being able to reload w/o stopping, it feels intrinsic to the gameplay's balance and core gameplay loop.
Does the game tell me when I'm at the final room? I keep getting stuck in a room that I fall to the bottom of, and it has one of each of the three types of enemies in it, and a pad that changes colour when I stand on it. I can't seem to progress and I'm assuming it's the final room, just checking.
Oh, and there's no discord at the moment. There will be a discord later in development, but as of now I'm still purely focusing on making content for the game first. ¯\_(:I)_/¯
Be sure to prompt the character if gun's ammo is full before reloading.
I only found one bug. You can get stuck inside a lever/switch door if you have been taken away. Only if you haven't flipped the lever/switch in that room. Check spawn points inside doors. Here is the bugged area.
OKAY, Some big problems. Need to be able to reload and aim/shoot WHILE MOVING. (Else it's just a death trap.) Production is good. Artwork is Fine. But if this is gonna be this kinda survival, you need to be able to aim, shoot, and reload while moving. Got to like 3-4 of those buggers swarming me after the armored one. Not cool. The mini game (grapple) would be better as well if you gave the player like 1-2 seconds to situate themselves.
Thanks for the critique! Agreed on the points, although those features would be for later in development. There have also been complaints about the gun being too weak, which is probably why you got swarmed in the first place.
As for development, currently buffing the gun and adding more creatures.
I personally like fact that you can’t reload while running and that it takes so long to reload (after all you can stop any second) because it makes game fair bit more difficult and forces you to prepare for bigger encounters not just YOLO speedrun’n’shoot.
Agreed on grapple delay tho because as of now you may accidentally push yourself straight into death in minigame if you accidentally run into enemy, since controls are immediately switched to minigame. So if you were just running left and enemy falls from ceiling triggering minigame you immediately start moving left in minigame and sometimes it results in almost insta-death
Not gonna lie, the game would be super easy if you could reload and move. Having to stop to reload makes it more tense, and you can always run back from where you came, as nothing spawns behind you. You just have poor planning skills... I would hope there will be an option to turn this on or off, if the Dev actually implements it.
For the reloading part... Yes, it is kind of annoying, but with it removed it would be too easy, and its the same fir the minigame, instead i'd say to put a cooldown on the defence and make only the creature you escaped stop when you win the minigame, not all of them. I fell like its too easy, like i need something mire challenging... Maybe add different difficulties would solve this problem. This way, both those who just want the content and those who want more of a challenge will be satisfied.

unfortunately at the moment, I mostly work on my own. :(
Still though, I appreciate and thank you for the offer! If I ever need help, you can find me screaming about it on Twitter.
Gotcha, I'll keep you in mind! Great work so far, loving the concept!

Keep up the good work.
It actually is the final room. The 'color' pad is actually a rising platform. If you press down, then it will climb you up.
Will add a small prompt later in development to help clarify this. :D

Nice game and cute characters.
i like how losing gives ya gallery mode
tbh i dont know how to use that mode lo
you use space to spawn them
anyone else having issues downloading this
Are you still having issues?
i fixed it, think it must have been an issue on my end with using chrome
Lovely. Tell me if there are anymore issues!
just a request for you to put the Furry tag into your list of tags
Done!
I think its really good so far, cant wait to see what becomes of it.
Love the prealpha!

Just a couple side notes:

Keep going! Awesome job so far!
Fixed it by adding a switch! Will add this to the next update

GREAT POTENTIAL, but needs some fine tuning.

i think the gun is fine, maybe a difficulty setting for later would benefit the varius peoples difficulty-opinion

Yup! Not being able to reload while moving is now set and stone, since it's part of the balance.
Plus, implementing the reload + moving takes time away from adding more content, so I'll just keep the reload mechanics as is. :)
