I had no idea how to counter that, so I found myself dancing around bullets like I was in the Matrix. And some sounds are obnoxiously loud"},{"author_name":"cicanci","author_uid":"52021","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 1:46pm","epoch":1440423660,"text":"Nice game, man! Just one tip: make the tutorial text visible right when you start the first level (right now it only appears when you move forward) and also add in the text that is possible to double jump (I died a lot in the spikes before figure this out lol)."},{"author_name":"aprotasenya","author_uid":"25412","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 1:49pm","epoch":1440423840,"text":"As Mister_Melon pointed out, you really have to aim nearly a button's width to the left of the button to highlight it and click.\r<br\/>In level 1 I could not jump over the spikes - I try to jump as late as I can, but the jump is too low and the row of spikes is too long."},{"author_name":"Gil4","author_uid":"26886","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 9:46pm","epoch":1440538860,"text":"I love the concept with enemies mirroring whatever you do, but in different ways for different types of enemies.

I don't know why, and am looking to fix this.\r\n\r\nThis is my first ever Ludum Dare compo game!\r\n\r\nCalled Zero NPCs, it's a platformer that features a cool mechanic: you move *all* of the characters using the player controls. There are no NPCs. And therefore - you are the monster. You are in fact, all of the monsters.\r\n\r\nN.B. As this is my first Ludum Dare game I admit that this didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I got some timings wrong and spent too much time on certain things, and art\/game mechanics\/detail are left wanting quite a bit as a result. Please help me out by leaving feedback on what I could do better. Thank you.\r\n\r\nChangelog for HOTFIX 1:\r\n- Set slowdown on death properly\r\n- Set slowdown on level complete properly\r\n- Adjusted Grunt AI to not move when player stunned\r\n- Widened camera angle, put it into perspective mode\r\n- Added win screen to build settings\r\n- Adjusted flying enemy to make it a bit easier\r\n- Edited tutorial text\r\n\r\nChangelog for HOTFIX 2:\r\n- Disabled level unlocking system as it was locking all levels. Will re-enable when fixed (sorry guys, I wrote it at 2 in the morning).\r\n\r\nChangelog for HOTFIX 3:\r\nFixed the Level Unlock system and added it back in. Arrays start at 0, and I am an idiot.\r\n\r\nChangelog for HOTFIX 4:\r\n- Made game quieter\r\n- Made game easier by lengthening enemy reload times\r\n- Fixed issue with bullet collision not registering properly\r\n- Added \"Double Jump\" text\r\n- Moved text so it was visible on player start","title":"Zero NPCs"}
