This is great!
Nice music though .)
- Another Ruby game! Second one so far. Apparently would work on Linux? Oh well, already on Windows.
- No controls in README. Okay, let's see what's in the game.
- Arrow keys and spacebar. Right-o.
- Oooooh. I like this. Music coming in. This excels.
- Hm. The character's face gets cut off if I jump when the camera is stationary. Rendering issue? Seems like a block in the top-left of a corner near the character is clipping somehow, too.
- How far out can I go before I drop? Ah, that's nice. Would be very slow-paced if you couldn't walk on whatever was visible.
- Standing still. All blocks that are visible are uniform in color. Could've made that drop-off -- e.g., an intensity scale like, say, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 5, 4, 2.5, 1.5, 1.
- Music looped. Reminds me of Torchlight 2 music somehow. Except for that The Dig-esque.. how do I describe it? Nevertheless, it is good.
- Next level: "Passageway".
- Definitely some kind of clipping going on. Will take screenshots.
- Dropped down. Thought I died for a second there.
- I think I see a baddie.
- Missed the baddie's skull. I have died. Back to the start.
- That time I totally crushed the baddie's skull. Guess you can't kill him. Moving along..
- The clipping makes it hard to see the baddie until I am far enough down.
- If I move the window, the game pushes an entire render update, fixing the clippery. Might be a GPU issue; I've been having trouble with it lately.
- I moved the window off-center and now I cannot see a thing. "Clip" appears to be just rendering in a rect in the center of the game window. Not sure what's going on here. Back to center you go.
- Next level: "Inside the walls". Triple baddies.
- A spike tried to murder me!
- Bunch of baddies.
- Next level: "Dungeon". Bunch of spikes.
- Drat. I got murdered by the baddies beneath.
- Uh-oh. A baddie has become stuck in the drop right after the beginning of this level (before the spikes). I cannot continue. He kills me every time I try to drop down.
- Wait. I just jumped into the ceiling. It doesn't seem to let me go anywhere, though. Not even back down. Now I'm done.
- Back in to screenshot this clipping business. Game does not save. Okay.
- When I take a screenshot, the window completely re-renders. I will write this off as my GPU being a jerk. Or Windows, because Windows is a jerk too.
- Any influences for the music? The Dig, perhaps?
Things I would change:
- The character sprite. Not my vibe.
