I really like the idea, but I think it’s a bit of a shame that each character is only used as a difficulty level although the robot did make me laugh.
I don’t know why, but the game really reminds me of Void Stranger probably because of the black-and-white style, the panels, and the descent down a tower.
thank you for the comment and trying out our game!!
every character actually does have a different emphasis on how you approach levels, but it can be difficult to see right away! its mostly noticeable if you chase for the highest scores for each individual character
Stab Happy is definitely intended to be the most straightforward and easy character, but Gun Mage has the ability to jump while having the same cost to traveling by walking, allowing you to avoid losing steps outright to obstacles and playing around with the cycles enemies will be at for attacks, which allows you to gain the most steps once you defeat them. this paired with only a ranged attack, you have to be witty with your moves to get the highest score!
Adept Adventurer has the most complicated routes to the highest scores since they have the most amount of abilities. they might appear like Stab Happy with a just a few more abilities, but those abilities change how you approach the puzzles, and they are the only one with a "wait" ability. now you have to weigh all of your options and find out what order of operations will lead you to the most optimal route, which can be a bit of a challenge since there are so many valid paths
and Delivery Bot doesn't need explanation, of course, turning the games mechanics on its head!
because of these differences, i actually did not know which character would be considered the easiest. for simply clearing the game, my guess was it could be Adept Adventurer since they have the most options, but they do start with the least amount of steps!
in any case, thank you again for trying our little jam game out!!
