The corruption had me spamming bombs like a crazy person- it was fun! It felt like a living world.
hey it's Chris
I love the idea of exploring while trying to get ahead of a spreading corruption! I think it's a strong concept if you ever wanted to push the idea forward. I thought the instructions could be spaced out a bit more (e.g., dripped feed one-by-one) and also clearer: I spammed my bombs and projectiles immediately and didn't know how to refill them. I also thought the rate in which the corruption spread was a bit too overwhelming for the beginning. Great effort!
Great advice thankyou, the tutorial and world were very much last second assemblies. Watching people play and hearing advice like this has been invaluable though and I will be more considerate of the new player experience in the future.
Instructions have been affixed to the ground, and all at once… a dangerous decision. The “corruption” spreads quickly, too quickly to keep in check even with explosives.
Nice! I love cellular automata. For my game I used a couple layers of noise and a simple floodfill but I considered flowers growing and dying using cellular automata rules. I notice a comment about the grid; its a necessary evil but there are always ways to “hide it” a little. In my case I use overlapped grids of different sizes and a random offset when placing. Not sure if it may work in pixel art but now I can’t stop thinking about cellular automata in hex grids.
I liked the concept, the only thing that kind of bothered me was the grid (it was visually overloaded a bit, in general though, great work!)
