Is there a way to attach with the keyboard? I could move around but I couldn't figure out how to attack...

Jonathan Lorenzauthor7 Oct 2019, 20:40

@snufkinshat You can attack with left ctrl ... but I don't know how you gonna rotate :/

SnufkinsHat7 Oct 2019, 20:47

@jonathan-lorenz I'm on my laptop atm, but I'll give it another play when I get on my PC and I can play with my controller.

you adventure was shortened by an incident involving your death ... funniest death quotation ... didnt manage to attack though ... dont know what i am doing wrong

Jonathan Lorenzauthor8 Oct 2019, 09:30

@velvetlobster You need the buy the first upgrade in the first room in order to attack. Glad you liked my death quote, I wanted something different than "you died" or "game over".

Couldn't really tell how to do stuff in the game, plus you start with a sword, so it's really using the theme, I found that the combat was fun tho, even though I couldn't figure out the controls the first time.

It's a shame that you needed a controller to play correctly, you could have done the rotation to the mouse, it's a shame.

Jonathan Lorenzauthor8 Oct 2019, 12:02

@mimusangel I do agree, it was planned but time ran short and I had to make decisions.

Cant rotate on keyboard(

Narffy8 Oct 2019, 14:08

very nice game, and funny

There is no way to control a player. My advice to make a better tutorial about what controls are. It looks like fun. And i see you get a stick right away maybe first lvl you dodge enemies and then you earn a weapon :)

Jonathan Lorenzauthor8 Oct 2019, 19:39

@ristic23 Yes I got many comments about the controls, I will try to be more clear or spend more time on multiple inputs next time. Thank you for your feedback!

Good job by doing it alone ! it is me or when you upgrade to longstick your range isn't upgraded too ? Feels like i need to be really close to the crab to hit him

Jonathan Lorenzauthor14 Oct 2019, 13:51

@coisne-nathan The damage zone is increased in length and width. But maybe not enough to be felt. Thanks for your comment!

Aozo27 Oct 2019, 16:30

Interesting take on the theme, I Had a lot of trouble to play because keyboard was'nt supported correctly but I took that as an hardcore mode, well done either way

Jonathan Lorenzauthor28 Oct 2019, 08:09

@Aozo Hahaha, good thing you took my mistakes as an extra challenge! Thank you for your comment!

Doodums28 Oct 2019, 10:20

Played without a controller because I'm actually at work haha, but I really enjoyed the attacking animations, meaning I had to precisely and not just button bash. Well done.

Jonathan Lorenzauthor28 Oct 2019, 10:50

It seems like implementing gamepad controls wasn't the best idea after all. Thank you for playing anyway and commenting! Cheers!

CaptAndrey28 Oct 2019, 15:26

funny "crab" animations) as mentioned before - controller is a good thing but keyboard controls must be supported

CG_Fred28 Oct 2019, 17:32

Wow, this game is very similar to the game I created at least mechanics wise. Great game love it and managed to reach the end. Still uncertain if you could do anything with the coins?

Jonathan Lorenzauthor29 Oct 2019, 08:58

@cg-fred ...don't tell me you reached the end without using the upgrade system ... The last upgrade is the bomb, the coins are useless after that. Thank you for commenting!

CG_Fred29 Oct 2019, 13:36

Haha! Yeah I did and I actually did it without hurting a single enemy, so I guess I should get a medal for that right?

Jonathan Lorenzauthor29 Oct 2019, 22:02

@cg-fred Wow, you did a pacifist run!!! You deserve a platinum medal! Cheers!
