This graphically is so impressive, it puts many GBA games to shame
Keep it up! :)
Thank you
Everything about this makes me smile
your comment makes me smile
lovely!
you're the absolute best
This was very fun! Love the graphics (especially how smooth the animations are for the playable character!)
would you (by chance) reupload the old demo?
Sure, of course it'll have to be a ROM as there can only be 1 web version at a time
This is really nice!
Noticed a few bugs on the web version. When approaching the suits for the first time, it does not always go through the cut scene of giving you the suit. You can interact with the terminal and it displays that all other suits are beyond repair, but you never get the suit. What's strange is that the suit sprite is still visible but doesn't have any clip mask.
Also, if you do get the suit and backtrack to the first room you start in, it appears to have been reset somehow because you cannot use the special ability so cannot leave the room.
Sometimes the map seemed to do weird things and I was not sure if it intentional or not. Leaving and re-entering a room it would sometimes be a different room. I noticed that when going to the floor the worm boss is on.
The worm boss you can walk past. I am not sure if that changes anything. It moves the story forward you just don't see the dialog about it being the cause of your suit doing weird things.
Once I got on the prisoner ship my first time it never advanced to the judge's chamber. It ended on the previous screen and I had to reload.
I did make it to the end of the demo and it's an interesting story and looks great!
Sorry about all the bugs, I'll get on to it and get them all squashed out. Glad you could at least enjoy it warts and all. Otherwise thanks for telling me where I need to look
Alright, I went through and got as many as I could possibly find including the ones you mentioned. Thank you for telling me, and I appreciate the feedback significantly.
This is a really unique looking game, in gameplay and style, some lovely touches in it, the water, the fish tanks, fluid animation, looking forward to playing more.
Thanks glad it was enjoyable for you.
