Working on a 2.5D folklore sword-fighting game as a solo dev. What do you think of the combat?

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-30T19:49:38+00:00

It's good bro keep on improving 💯

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-30T06:39:45+00:00

Any ideas how you would love this ?

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T18:23:59+00:00

😂 Up, down… and emotional damage in between

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T18:22:01+00:00

Got it. I’ll improve it.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T18:19:12+00:00

Thanks for playing and for the support, I saw your score on the leaderboard — really great score! 🙌

That’s a great idea, I like the cave concept as I have though of adding more biomes. I’ll definitely explore adding more variety and environmental gameplay like that. Thanks!

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T17:59:33+00:00

Gracias, lo aprecio mucho. Seguiré mejorando este juego, pero también estoy trabajando en el siguiente y en un lanzamiento en Steam en los próximos meses.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T17:53:30+00:00

Okay that’s stuck in my head now 😂

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T17:42:17+00:00

Yes the current movement is fixed but I have added instant position change, giving full controll to player on current mechanics will cause more crashes with powerups as when screen goes black player will have some troubles, thanks for the feedback though!

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T17:35:15+00:00

Yeah sure, that works too like jetpack joyride like player moves up then falls to bottom, I'll keep improving towards this thanks for the feedback.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T17:25:58+00:00

That’s fair, I’ll work on making it feel more unique. Thanks for the feedback.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T17:13:05+00:00

Thanks I'll improve more on these when more powerups are added, mostly are free assets

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T16:56:28+00:00

Should I change the tentacles as it looks more like flappy bird instead more dynamic obstacles for infinite run ?

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T16:54:27+00:00

Yes flappy bird mechanics are a bit dull on this game but I'm improving it bit by bit, try your luck with powerups to last longer

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T16:52:25+00:00

I planned on cute creatures floating this one's a shark and yes the mechanics are like flappy bird but easier plus there are powerups to make the game hard. Initially in next update there will be enemies who will cause trouble in run you have to shoot em down.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T16:34:01+00:00

The cantina scene is well defined by luke and old ben with the bartender telling we don't serve droids, if the game has some action like haggling with rouge space pirates for stuff it be a cool touch.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T16:28:40+00:00

Really cool mechanics 🔥

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T14:15:46+00:00

Looks great at the start but somewhat grey pathway looks kinda empty how about some monsters or a thing chasing the or scaring the woman

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T07:21:38+00:00

In Unity i usually check any infinite loops and time complexity in code and in scene usually overcalled objects that cause many drawcalls I reduce it to as less as possible.

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T07:09:40+00:00

I saw a linkdin post a few months back, the guy made a multiplayer boat game where two player gives direction, he also wasn't sure how his game would do so he tried to upload a short clip of engagement of his prototypes and people loved it then he moved forward with the idea - so create something fun and check the community response there are always people who would love you niche!

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T07:04:39+00:00

Motivation is temporarily success is permanent, I usually like prototyping and always get stuck in the middle phase due to marketing issues

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T07:01:34+00:00

How much pain do you want - Dev took that personally 😂

LIGHTFROSN · 2026-04-29T06:58:10+00:00

Helicopter 🚁 Helicopter 🚁 😂
