It's a lesson I'll have to remember for next time.\n\nThank you all for your feedback.\n\n@allas : Dead enemies attacking you ? That's... a weird bug. I don't really know if I can reupload the game to unity connect without breaking stuff (I'm also putting \"learning how to post a game\" on my todo list...) so sadly I'm not sure if I can fix that... being stuck in a loop shouldn't happen, so, it's \"meta in theme\" but I'm also sorry for that.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"smilewood","author_uid":"1001524","time":"2020-10-06T04:19:41Z","epoch":1601957981,"modified":1601957981,"text":"I think that the core concept behind this game could be interesting if refined a bit, having rooms that are different as one comes back to them is a cool idea, but the gameplay surrounding it in this case could have used more polish. The biggest issue I had with playing it was the movement mechanics; left\/right is slow to start, hard to stop and jumping is floating to flying. Because of this navigating the rooms or getting into position for enemies was quite difficult. I had trouble figuring out the timing on my attack, it did not trigger the instant I clicked, but it also seemed to hang around for a while afterwards and only sometimes damaged the enemies. Huge props for tackling 3d animations in a 48-hour event, that is always a difficult challenge! I feel that if the actual mechanics of this game were polished up a bit it would be really great.

Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv\/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv\/drjavasaurus). As I told you on stream, feel proud about your compo entry. You finished a game AND you followed Compo rules, which are possibly the hardest out there for a starting dev. Your second LD entry? Darn good one.
