The game is quite fun and I've been enjoying it. Unfortunately i seem to have hit a bit of a wall as i cannot for the life of me find where to go after escaping with the sniper. The underground area has no places to go and the elevator is blocking me from going down into the pistol area so i'm kinda lost where to go from here
First will say, this is definitely not my type of game. Bit too hard but I think thats the point- similar to something like "getting over it".
Visuals & Music are nice, I can see this turning into a Twitch streamer ragebait game. :D
Props on getting it to be both mouse & controller supportable although both had their advantages & disadvantages made me switch between them a lot.
But I think its mainly skill issue on my end xd
This was a blast! the first fork gun made me laugh and I loved how each weapon worked. I think I cheated near the end as I just piled up all 3 grenades and launch myself up the right side, but that's kinda what I love about games like these, there is the "right way" but having the ability to make your own path is so fun. Also swapping between weapons mid flight was SOO Satisfying. You should give my game a chance if you can, its a very similar concept and I think you'd enjoy it!
It won't let me post a screenshot of my time but I made it in 13:28.95!
Hey rubic,
This is the first time I've ever played one of these rage-inducing type games, and I had a real blast with it! Every time I was just about ready to give up I managed to understand the controls a little better and make it through to another section. Pretty sure I didn't get past the tutorial area but I still had a lot of fun playing it. Really great work from you and your team, top stuff!
I streamed my playthrough of the game (the video has chapters). Check it out:
I have created a Discord as a space for game devs to talk about their experiences and share their games. Would love to have you join!The checkpoint after the second switch door seems a bit too easy to trigger, I didn't even touch the new ground or something and could get the new point?
The walls seem way too frictiony? And sometimes, when doing two full sword charges in quick succession, my second charge doesn't push me much?
And resetting, I don't want to reset to Sword, I want to keep my form because of that, also I like Pistol more?
And now I seem to have shot the 3 door puzzle too-much and froze the game. Going 1-2-3 is too hard because the ground is too frictiony to get back up fast enough, maybe. And/ Or I'm bad at angling to get to 2 fast enough.
