PixelPicoSean Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Lovely game, love it The control reminds me an awesome game called "Wind-up Knight" I think the boss should do some preparing action before shooting which will tell players that one side is dangerous you'd go the other way. Currently it looks like boss is shooting completely random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpu Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks!Got to check that one out. And the boss is not shooting randomly, there is simple pattern repeating, so it won't be hard to beat, once you got it. I just played it poorly on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeCake Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Very fun and smooth demo, great art and catchy music! Difficulty does seem kinda tough with the first few levels though, I suggest making the first 3 levels or so a lot easies, just to introduce you to the mechanics and different enemy types. I died 3 times in a row to the very first jumping-enemy, which is on the first level I believe.Some may like the steep difficulty curve though, so listen to what some other people say to get some statistics first.

enpu Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks for the feedback! You are not indeed the only one saying that it's a bit too hard for first levels.I'm already thinking to move the whole World 1 into World 2, and make new easier World 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hivefish Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 First post. I love the art and the smooth gameplay. I had great fun with it.Do you intend to leave the double jump as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeCake Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I like it even better now with the option to control movement, but the other mechanic was also interesting, so I am glad to see you kept it in bonus levels. The main problem I have now is the jump mechanic after jumping on top, and killing, an enemy. I feel like should be able to jump at least once after doing this. When double jumping on an enemy, you are not even allowed to jump again until you touch the ground, but this feels unnatural to me, and I died to not understanding the jump mechanics more often than anything else. I think hitting an enemy should reset the jump just as much as hitting the ground. Great progress so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpu Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 @hivefish Thank you for your feedback. Yes i think the double jump is a nice feature, or what you think?There are going to be other abilities, like shadow mode, where you can go through enemies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j22G0xYX1m4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpu Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 @JakeCake Thanks, that's a good point. Will fix that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravityGamesInteractive Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well, the gameplay is pretty smooth, but there's quite a few errors with graphics drawing. The scrolling clouds have a pixel of emptiness between them when they're moving, and occasionally this happens with tiles as well. Some of the enemies also will have this happen during certain frames of their animations. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's mildly distracting, so you might want to look into it. I know it's already been mentioned, but stomping on an enemy after double jumping should allow you to double jump again. Another minor complaint is that the hearts are lives rather than health. While there's nothing wrong with one hit deaths, as long as the game is built with that in mind, using hearts to represent lives is a bit of a problem, as most players will assume that they are health. You'd probably be better off just replacing it with a lives counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpu Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks! Those both have been already fixed, but not yet updated to demo. About the graphic errors, can you tell what browser and os are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravityGamesInteractive Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm using Firefox (though it's an outdated version, I still need to update) and Ubuntu (I think 13.10). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chg Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I get the same gfx issue as GravityGameInteractive describes (1 pixel vertical bar where clouds repeat, also on edge of 1 frame of the star animation) under IE11 on Win7, and I suspect it's a texture blending artifact. It's a great game, agree with others that it could be easier on the first few levels especially as their are 3 lives and no continues. Not sure about the name though. I can't be the only one that instantly thought of the brain wasting prion disease associated with cannibalism, can I?

enpu Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 @chg Thanks for the info. About the name, i did not know that, and you are the first one saying that, not sure if i should change the name because of that.I got the name Kuru from translating "cool" into Japanese.
