Upcoming

Entered into the https://itch.io/jam/feedback-quest-4 Game Jam, look forward to submitting during the first week of May, after submitting. I will take feedback and use that time to rebuild functions of the existing game before I continue expanding. I want to have 5 levels available for test play, and 3/4 enemies and a couple pick up variants (maybe some that give powers to player?). After the Jam, I want to implement a world map with branches so if you have difficulty in say level 3, you can instead play level 4 to get to level 5. I also would like to implement a mid boss level as Level * to change up the standard formula. I am thinking an enemy that needs to be bounced on 3 times to kill them.

Please check out the https://itch.io/jam/feedback-quest-4 for a demo, I plan on uploading sometime mid-jam. I appreciate any and all feedback and the more assistance I receive the better the game will be. This will hopefully be just the first of multiple Jams I enter with this game, as well as I plan on regularly updating the game on itch.io after it has been posted the first time.
