yeah, you are spot on, mu current solution relies on rigidbodies, which are impossible to control.
I think I would make it more 'tile-based' if that makes sense. Like, when you get a bone, you become 1 block taller, and extend 1 block further. I think that would work nicely for a puzzle game, but I'm ganna have to do some testing :))
I tried my best to make respawning work, but my solution is a bit janky, and it makes sens that it doesn't work for everyone... sorry (Physics objects are hard to reliably move in Godot).
I don't have a controller myself, so I completely forgot to add controller support.. ups.
To make the visuals, I added handpainted normal maps to my tiles, and used a shader to clamp the colors to my chosen color-palette :))
Really nice game! The animations are great and the tunes are bumping! I wish the move-speed of the main characted was a bit faster, and having to dig through a 6 block deep wall wasn't that fun. Other than those minor things the gameplay was fantastic!
Amazing game! Very nice visuals, and great level design! The controls feel a bit floaty, and chaining wall-jumps and floats together was a bit tricky for me, but that might have been intended. Either way the game was a joy to play, and I like that deaths didn't feel too punishing! :D
Yeah, I think there is a lot of untapped potential in the mechanics, but it would probably require a complete rewrite, to make everything more stable, and predictable.
For now I'll leave it as is, but I would like to revisit the project in the future!
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! And great feedback with regards to the restart time, I didn't notice it myself, but when I saw others play it did feel a bit too long. Level 2 is pretty unforgiving, and I might have to change some mechanics... after jumping, while upside down, you get a bit of a slowdown, so to complete level 2 you have to run without jumping, which isn't very intuitive. Thanks again for playing! :D
Really nice concept! Love the intro animation and sound design; Great music choice! I really liked the way the waves spread out from green to blue, the blue waves felt super nice!
Very neat game! Sometimes it felt impossible to beat the level, as if I spawned too far from the key, but I'm not sure. Some sort of indicator showing the general direciton of the key, would have been nice, but over all it was fun, I really felt the pressure of the time-limit.
Fun game! The concept works and the gameplay is engaging :) It would have been cool if enemies dropped powerups, that would give the player a bit more incetive to kill them.
