I feel like the hitboxes of the attacks are not very clear, also if I take the same upgrade that I already have it doesn't change anything ? Overall the gameplay is not very polished or juicy, it's not clear when I lose health and what's my hitbox, but I think the concept it very nice it could have been a very fun game with more work! (No doubt you worked a lot already)
Ended with 17200 on the full shade run.
The upgrades alternate between increasing the damage and increasing the size/range of the attack.
The tears which drop gives one of the random effects below:
- The size of all attacks
- Increase the amount of projectiles thrown (only the high heel)
- Increase how many monsters the projectile can pass through before despawning. (Again only the high heel...)
- Give you a 1/4 of your exp bar
- Nothing
I did definitely fall for trying to make too many mechanics which I had to bin as they weren't ready or tested enough with the time restrictions I had during the jam 🙂. Which ended in a half baked and confusing experience I'm sure 😅
Will definitely try keep it simpler and clearer next week time! 😁
It lacks a little polish, but overall it's a very fun game to play
