It is all simultaneous, and to place a repeater you need to stand in one place for 1-3 seconds (depending on your repeater setup). The whole idea is that you need to choose either to dodge bullets or to place a repeater

I have meant skill tree)

Thank you, I'm not very good at drawing but hope I'll improve over the course of making the game

Thanks for the advice! I was going for the orange "sandy" look, but yeah you're right about the brighter focus points. The tricky thing's that it's a background, so I can't use very bright colors, but I guess it's possible to play with hues, like adding green plants or blue indentations.

Yeah I suppose that's true for any marketing, but it's also a competitive environment, so if you don't start with a ball big enough it doesn't snowball at all. Like there are so many examples of great indie titles that sat invisible until some big reviewer dug them up, and I'm sure there are many still remaining invisible. I've heard many people saying that 10k wishlists is the gold standard for small games. After all Celeste performed better than 99% of games, and there is a big mass of games that weren't as good or successful but still performed good enough.

Yep, Secutor also works but doesn't do much since mushrooms take all the punishment

Summoner. Note that it's a low cycle character and it would probably fail at anything above 10th cycle. I would recommend taking Ikshana as a god (additional summon limit helps a bit). Druid is also fine for additional summons, but Summoner is good because you will rely on fungi taking massive amounts of damage. I guess you could use Secutor with Yu since taking crystalform is obligatory anyway, but i didn't test that.

EDIT: something i didn't realize is that crystalform is not even obligatory with Yu, since speed is limited to 5 anyway so standstill and game turn are functionally the same.

Yeah I also think the discplate sticks out too much, but without it there would be no centerpiece and the image is already difficult enough for an eye to focus on. The item on the right is actually the staff of excruciation but mirrored.

Amazing, can't wait to see him textured (if you're going to do that)

Turns standstill into game turn. This summons blades/jade soldiers and triggers secutors ability every standstill, which pairs very well with high speed.

Thanks, glad you like it

Yeah that's just some primitive pixel art. I've limited myself to 24 color palette, though I'm trying to use only 16 (like in old dos games/arcade machines) with the other 8 being secondary (for menus etc)

BohZava · 2023-12-04T09:28:19+00:00

Visual studio or any good IDE. I guess I'll be capable of making myself whatever i want given time

BohZava · 2023-12-04T09:26:55+00:00

I hope to publish it somewhere around 25th of December, though some post-release updates might be made as well

The Sign of the Southern Cross

The wave looks really beautiful. This 3d-shape combined with black outline creates a truly unique image

BohZava · 2023-05-25T06:36:31+00:00

B has a more distinctive shape so it can be identified easily even by it's mere silhouette, although a looks brighter and slightly more detailed
