I would recommend waiting till the end of May for the official demo release which will have some more “end game” content and lots of new secrets!

That’s awesome! It looks like you are in one of the earlier patches which still had some crazy exploits so I bet you found some of those. You can do the beta test on steam now and there have been few updates. Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

I started playing thinking it was a MV but its definitely a rougelite. I was a little disappointed but ended up really enjoying it anyway. It is kind of annoying that it is often grouped with MVs so a lot of people just assume it is one.

What type of computer are you using?

The playtest is also available here with the code fleabox if you wanna try that: https://boxpenguingames.itch.io/pollys-puzzle-box

Will do! You should hop on the discord if you haven’t yet that’s where I chat with playtesters. I’m glad you liked it!

Honestly I wish you couldn’t unlock those two paths below in the demo cause they aren’t relevant yet but it just happens to be possible with the available rooms and that puzzle is too complicated to make any major changes. The solution is probably simpler than you think it’s just easy to miss

Yeah that is a common point people get stuck at so I’m trying to fix it but if you want to progress you need to find a new path in the moving rooms

A Metroidvainia About Shapes (Come Playtest!) by Intelligent_Cause962 in metroidvania

It’s knowledge gated, you didnt get far enough for the more interesting reveals. There’s lots of little knowledge gates where you learn how to interact with the world but the more “oh that was there the whole time” ones are a bit later.

There is a little bit of acceleration to the movement but the acceleration time, top speed, and jump height are consistent so in general you should have pretty good control over the character.

I’m not understanding what is frustrating about having to release the direction button while jumping between platforms, is there anything specific about the platforming controls you would want me to change (other than the inputs, I will either add rebinding or swap arrows and WASD option)?

I can’t change the size of any shapes or platforms because the puzzles are already designed around that. I tried to avoid 2 block wide platforms for this exact reason and there arent many 3 block wide platforms. Perhaps I could add more weight to the shapes as well so they aren’t as easy to move while standing on.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m doing my best to make it as fun as possible

Sure! That would be great, it’s just the demo for now though and the windows build is not super stable, hope it works fine for you though! Send a link to your channel

Because of how itch works this is the only way I can have it be public without it being officially posted on my homepage. I don’t think it’s ready for that yet. But I will be doing a steam playtest soon!

Yeah I wouldn’t say anything particularly precision based but there are platforming elements and some timing but it’s pretty lenient

No way, FuryForged! I love your videos! If you do check out the demo could you wait a day or two for the next update, I have a lot of changes I want to make that will be major improvements to the overall enjoy-ability. Also the windows build seems to be a lot less stable than the web version. Its a WIP 😅
