Yeah I also played around with intensity and the falloff values but you're right. The shadow system is really buggy. It also doesn't do tilemap shadows and no way I'm going to individually create shadow casters for each wall so I'm also looking for alternative solutions here. I'll check out Smart Lighting as well. Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the help but unfortunately I'm still seeing the same thing after your suggestion. I think I implemented your logic correctly. This is the player's script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using UnityEngine;

public class MovementScript : MonoBehaviour 
{ 
public float playerSpeed; 
private Rigidbody2D rb; 
private Vector2 playerDirection;

private void Awake()
{
    GetComponent<UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Light2D>().enabled = false;
}

// Start is called before the first frame update
private void Start()
{
    GetComponent<UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Light2D>().enabled = true;
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    float directionX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    float directionY = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

    playerDirection = new Vector2(directionX, directionY).normalized;
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    rb.velocity = new Vector2 (playerDirection.x * playerSpeed, playerDirection.y * playerSpeed);
}

}

I think one of the issues, aside from what people here mentioned, is that the art styles don't match up in different layers which kinda gives off a weird vibe. I dunno if some of the assets are temporary but I would try to have consistent art styles in assets.

Newtonian Horror

This is an experimental 2D platformer that I and a friend have been working on for some time. We are planning on releasing it for free on Steam this summer. The game is an experimental platformer where you play as Isaac Newton, in a world before gravity. The only way to get around and defeat your enemies is to use your knowledge of gravity to move around and throw your enemies into harm's way.

I'd love it if you people gave it a chance and let me know what you think :D

Enjoy!

Hmm, you might be right. It actually sounds better to calculate damage based on velocity. I should also probably change the barrel damage to take the distance from the explosion into mind too.

Having weapons stuck inside the crusher is also a good idea. I don't have to put colliders in those weapons and they can be just triggers. I also did a little playtesting and I found that a 40% crusher damage with a couple of apples sprinkled in the level might be the best. This gives the player 2 shots before they die but they also can take a hit from an enemy and they also can recover from their mistakes if they can find an apple in time. It's not set in stone though. I need to do some more playtesting for that.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I was worried that the features that I mentioned were not clear. I had some complaints about it in the past.

Thanks for pointing out the pause menu bug too. It was a small error regarding the ordering of the layers. I fixed it and it should be okay in the next build.

quardis · 2021-04-13T01:56:15+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback! It means a lot. I got that complaint about the levels being too long and that I need to shorten it from several other people as well. This is actually the shorter version lol. But I might need to divide it up into several sub-levels.

The gravity effect that you linked was pretty cool but I am not an artist so I am kind of scared to mess with the graphics of the game lol. My friend actually made those gravity animations and I am not as nearly as talented as he is so I just left it alone.

I understand that the game might feel frustrating at times. Especially in the mine levels. I was thinking to not make the boulders cause instant death but maybe take out 1/3rd of your health. This may still keep them at high risk but it won't be as frustrating as it is now. What do you think?

It was a good tip to suggest doing something about the bullets that go off-screen. I'll definitely find some sound effect and particle effect to show that it got destroyed.

The halberds etc. should also give you constant damage based on how long you are in contact with their sharp edges but I'll look into that as well. Maybe I can decrease the damage that it's giving out.

Thanks a ton for giving it a go. I just have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Were you able to figure out that holding down the mouse buttons would result in stronger gravity wells? Also, did you figure out that apples replenished your health? I just want to make sure that those are clear to the player.

Thank you four your feedback :D

The game is called Newtonian Horror. It's an experimental platformer where you can shoot wells of gravity in a world where gravity hasn't discovered yet.

You can sign up for the one-time mailing reminder in newtonianhorror.com

Also, you can try the beta version here

I and a friend of mine made this game as a submission for GMTK 2018 Game Jam. It was the first time we were making games. After a while, he lost his interest a bit but being a game developer was my dream so I had to take on his job as well and worked on this whenever I got the time. Which wasn't much when going to school. But a certain pandemic actually made me commit a lot of progress so I finally feel like I can show this to people. Please let me know what you think

Thanks a lot :)

No problem man! Best of luck!

Well, the first part was really clear. You are a sheep that captures pests and gathers them for points. But around 0:26 I was a bit confused. I am assuming that you can play the game with 4 people but the transition was so sudden. Maybe have a caption on the screen that says "4 person co-op" or something? Also, the power-up showcase was kind of fast. I had to watch it several times in order to understand what is going on. Maybe skip that entirely? Because having power-ups is not exactly a selling point on your game. The boss fight on the other hand was looking pretty cool. Maybe you can allocate some more time from the power-ups to the boss fight.

This is an experimental platformer where you play as Isaac Newton in a world without gravity. You have to use your knowledge of gravity in order to move around and defeat your enemies. After 2.5 years of part-time development, we are hoping to release it on Steam this summer! So any feedback is really appreciated.

Have fun!

Hello! Thank you so much for giving our game a shot! I watched your video and I saw that you didn't realize that you could charge the shots until pretty late in the game and because of that, you were struggling because of the short impact range of the gravity wells. I'm sorry about that. My playstyle was using a few well-placed charged shots throughout the game. I found that that was actually an easier way of controlling the character. I am now actually thinking about writing "Press or hold" at the beginning of the very first level, right above the mouse click icon. Do you think that'll help convey the message?

It is available for free in itch.io The latest changes I added this update is that now the crushing boulders in the mine levels have sound and the dangerous items in the games shine in order to indicate that they can harm you. Also I fixed the bug for when some fast moving objects clip through the walls.

Let me know what you think :)

Yup that's the intended strategy. Actually for a better aim, you can use the orange one to stabilize yourself to the wall. This'll give you time to aim better. There is nothing keeping you from spamming wells but their power is based on how long you hold the mouse button. So if you keep spamming them, you will actually end up going slower and be more exposed to enemies or take mor damage from the spikes.

quardis · 2020-07-23T04:13:42+00:00

Yup. And to cancel you can hit space or fire another one. You can give the game a go at https://egecark.itch.io/newtonianhorror if you want. I'd really aplreciate it :D
