There was a small problem though. I might be wrong, but it seems that the game alwyas tries to run in 1920x1080, and since my display is smaller, edges of the screen were cut off.
Nice audio, very solid gameplay and what an idea with true/false boy!
As for suggestions, I'd like to see some trickier questions, and more variety in them. I tried it twice, and out of ~10 questions I mistaken only once. Of course, then I went and got all the curses to check it out. Would be nice if the game gave you description of the curse after you got it, because some effects are not obvious.
Overall, really good job, congratulations!
I can honestly say i'm a fan of it haha ! I really enjoyed the balance of difficulty, the pace, the humor and challenge of it ! I liked the mecanisim of quizz at the end of each round (and the sadisim of the guy), the difficulty to find the answer was well balance as well. I couldn't reach more than the level 7 by the way, but i enjoyed it.
Problems & Ideas :
- I'm french and my keys QZSD didn't worked, i had to switch my keyboard.
- It will be nice if we could, at launch, choose the screen where the game will be screened.
- Rebalance damages of ennemies because they are to powerfull after lvl 7 Or be invisible for 0.5s if we are touched by a bullet
- Lollipops ennemies's bullets are not enought visible
- Live bonus appering on scene sometimes
- Upgrade system between each games
Can wait for a future version. AWESOME ! :D
-
Having a (Highscore) board showing in the main menu and after you die could be a good asset to add to the game.
Also, gameplay felt satisfying and fun. Great job.
I love it ! Graphism are Amazing ! Great job guys ! See you soon on Steam!
The way the difficulty spikes is really noticeable, fits well with the theme. Very well done! :clap:
C'est vraiment un jeu interésant qui pourrait être sympa à améliorer.
