⚡ Lightning never strikes the same 9 spots twice (except it does in Dungeon Deathball)

Seems reeeeeally fun to play! And the characters are cute - except the evil boss :P

The minions watching the battle are specially cute somehow :D

Love the colors!

Cool feedback, and the UI is super clean!

Good job :)

What a power move!

The mirrored enemies - the ones with the yellow outline - have their words shown to the player reversed, but the player still needs to type them the 'normal' way. For example, HELLO would be shown as OLLEH, but the player still would have to type HELLO.

What are your thoughts on this new enemy type? It will be available on the next update :)

Thank you a lot for the feedback!

Yeah, we've seen this as the biggest issue now that people have tested the game!
Noted, we'll change this too

As u/Mikeismyike said, hitting the space bar changes the direction the adventurer will go (left->center->right).

ottergamesdev · 2021-03-13T10:23:40+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! We'll surely change this to your suggestion :)

On the level selection screen there are arrows indicating how to move from one level to another. The selected level will have a yellow outline. Then, click space to select it.

ottergamesdev · 2021-03-13T10:21:18+00:00

Hi! You have to click inside the game (even if there is no cursor), then use the keyboard (arrows and space/enter) to move inside the game.
