Description: I need balancing, bugs and feedback

Already known bugs:
Border for widescreens

ngl just a small nitpick but the dash feels a little bit underwhelming

#

This might affect difficulty, but since it's a jsab level, what about having a lives system? Like having 4 lives at the beginning but then have the option to shorten it for some sort of coin route.

#

Yeah

#

Also the player can survive on only one xpos after the first checkpoint which Might make the gp a little boring

Any ideas on how to fix it?
Some dude in other chat suggested to make dash only right and left which is... Definitely an interesting idea

sharp shore Apr 6, 2024, 4:36 PM

#

Maybe make the laser that moves thicker

#

So that the player has to dash through the other lasers

sharp shore So that the player has to dash through the other lasers

Hmmm
Sounds like an interesting idea I will try to do something with it
But still I can agree with dash being meh and I want to change it in some way

#

I just dont know how exactly

hmm I’m guessing you use a spawn trigger for dash
if so you can hook it up to an animate trigger and make a particle effect that has “animate on trigger” ticked on

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

Hmmm, so thats how to do this, interesting

Also I mean more like in gameplay

sharp shore Apr 6, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

Oh I think it’s fine

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

Out of 5 playtesters so far, 3 complained about dash xD

sharp shore Apr 6, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

sharp shore Oh I think it’s fine

In terms of gp

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

Maybe some other visual additions to make level look better?

sharp shore Apr 6, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

Yeah

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

I just not sure what exactly TBH

And maybe I think about adding BIG rotating falling squares to third part

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

sharp shore Maybe make the laser that moves thicker

Like this I guess?

#

or more

sharp shore Apr 6, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

enough so that its fairly difficult to dash through it

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

hmmm... I can do both directional dash and right left dash

#

so like directional is up and right left is right left

red stratus Apr 6, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

Ok so
Making dash a bit longer and lazer even more larger done
Rotate problem lag fixed
Some small gameplay changes in second and third part done
Large screen fix done
Anything else I maybe forgeting?
