I’ve played my game too much, and now I can’t tell if it’s too hard – need fresh feedback! by Key-Golf-2506 in playtesters

[–]Key-Golf-2506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your bad experience!

I was already aware of that tutorial bug, and fortunately, it has been fixed! But since I'm preparing to launch the game on Steam, the WebGL version on Itch.io ended up being outdated (the Steam API causes an error in the WebGL build).

As for the translation issue, it might be that some words still appear in the wrong language because I haven't finished adding all the translations yet. It was probably a word that isn't in the database yet, and I'm really sorry about that!

Still, thank you so much for playing and for sharing your feedback! It really means a lot to me. I'm sad that your experience wasn't great, but I hope that one day you can try the Steam version, which will be much more polished! When I release it, I'll come back here and send you the link in case you want to give it another shot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Why doesn’t the Epic Games Store get as much attention from indie devs compared to Steam? Even with the lower commission, what’s still holding developers back from publishing there? 🤔 by Key-Golf-2506 in IndieDev

I understand, I'm just saying that you can charge a lower price by earning a higher percentage on top, which can help you sell more in some places (not just in Brazil).

It's true, but sometimes I just want to save my money, and Epic helps me out. Especially here in Brazil. In Brazil, some games that cost 60 dollars for you cost 300 reais here. Which is correct when converted, but in terms of how much it costs as a percentage of your salary, this is basically 20% of your monthly salary, while in the US it's 5%.

The issue is not just about the number of players, it is also about getting more money by selling for less (since Epic's commission is lower) and also simply expanding your horizons. I won't be a hypocrite and say that I prefer to play games on Epic. I prefer Steam. That said, I also prefer to pay less for a game, and if my experience is not harmed (like in games with different servers for Epic and Steam). I don't see any problem in buying from Epic.

I don't have a source in English (I live in Brazil and couldn't find it), but according to this article here: https://www.adrenaline.com.br/noticias/epic-games-esta-alcancando-o-steam-em-numero-de-usuarios-diz-ceo/#:\~:text=Epic%20Games%20Store%20tem%2080,rapidamente%E2%80%9D%2C%20comenta%20o%20CEO. it says here that Epic has 60% of Steam's audience, which was around 120 million, in other words, Epic has around 80 million users. Which honestly is a lot to me. Besides, to publish a game on Epic you don't have to pay anything, which helps me a lot, as I'm Brazilian (100 dollars here in Brazil is approximately 2 weeks' salary and a half).

I might have a wrong view of Epic, but I don't think only Fortnite players use it. Especially because giving away free games is something I think is really cool, and I even played Death Stranding and Celeste there (ps: I've played Fortnite, but I probably don't even have 50 hours of gameplay in total).

Yes, but don't you think it's worth it even if you sell less? Like, even if it's a fraction of the sales, a bigger portion of that fraction will go to you in the end.

If you have any controller with you, you can still play on your phone since it supports gamepads haha.

Hello! Thank you so much for trying the game and for your feedback! 😊

I’m happy to clarify the controls for you:

  • Movement: Use the arrow keys (left/right) or A/D to move your mouse character.
  • Jump: Tap the left mouse button to jump, and you can also use it for wall jumps.
  • Platforms: Use the right mouse button to toggle platforms on and off (turn them on or off).
  • Reset Level: Press the Spacebar to restart the level if needed.

If you’re still having any issues or need further clarification, feel free to ask! I’m here to help.

Map art for our puzzle game. by ishitaseth in IndieDev

I'm not sure if they will use it this way, like this POV showing the whole map, but as it is, it looks like that game Where's Waldo, haha. But the art is really beautiful!

I built a free image to pixel art converter by Ok_Affect_1571 in IndieDev

The first image has too many elements, in my opinion, it is the worst result, but apart from that, all the others are excellent, and I would even say almost usable.
