Great Satan fight. The last one took a few tries. Felt like a real accomplishment to beat. They were lots of fun. Not this time, Satan. I really liked the cross-shaped skulls. Nice touch. Also, awesome music PaperTuna523511
It took a long time before I saw how I could get to the fight. The platform is hidden and I really didn't expect anything to be there. I read the comments here for help.
I really appreciate the infinite lives and infinite bullets. It's so fun to shoot without worrying about running out.
Thanks for the kind words on behalf of myself and PaperTuna.
When it comes to the boss arena, I was aware that it was “hidden” and wanted to somehow indicate to the player which direction to go, but I didn't manage to do it in time (you can see that the islands are terribly empty, which I was going to change :P). In fact, the arena being so low was a quick solution to prevent the player from escaping it (but the truth is that I should have set it up so that the arena was visible when leaving the church, with a jump down to the arena from the side).
As for the music, these were the first songs ever created using DAW (professional music creation tools instead of the simple “press blocks” like BeepBox) by PaperTuna. I think it turned out great.
Satan aura checked me
I tried my best to give Satan the most aura.
DAAAAMN, Satan’s got SHMOVES
The combat is cheesable, which is the main challenge in boss battles
Should’ve expanded on the weapon “loop”, the grenade puzzle was a surprise (I didn’t the sign the first time). Maybe you could also have a loop of utilities: a grappling hook, a shield and stuff like that
I had an endless number of ideas for player skills, weapons, and enemy attacks. Unfortunately, I didn't have an endless amount of time to implement them.
At first, the player was supposed to get new skills after defeating a boss, such as double jump or wall jump. These skills would then be needed in subsequent battles.
I had to limit myself greatly because writing all the scripts, finding sounds and models (which I then had to texture) for the weapons took a lot of time to complete.
I tried my best, and I hope it was enjoyable enough to play.
I could only get over the first wall jump so I'm sorry I couldn't get to the rest of the game. I like the vibe and the music is really nice. Sorry I can't really say much more
There is no wall jump there.
To get through the section with walls, you need to use a weapon that shoots spikes that stick into the wall. To get this weapon, you first need to obtain the first part of the chyrograph (in the church using a grenade launcher) and then defeat the boss again. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to explain this section of the game in more detail.
I couldn't really seem to get through the parkour (skill issue I know). The wallrunning didn't seem very intuitive to me. If you ran at a wall, you didn't stick to it like you do in Titanfall, you sort of slide against it, lost a lot of speed and then you could maybe jump at some points. Definitely check out something called coyote frames. I think your game could benefit a ton from it! I didn't think it was fair for me to leave a rating since I couldn't even make it to the actual game, but I hope this comment is valuable to you in some way.

I know what coyote frames are. They would definitely be a good addition, but I didn't think about it when I was quickly making the character controller..
I can't get over the first wall jump :P
how do i get over so i can actually rate your game :D
