Very fun and charming! I found myself bouncing along to the music many times. I like how it takes the merchant gameplay and simplifies it a lil. No inputting specific prices, which means each run goes fast and fun!

Final Score: $2318

that's ok! That puzzle is probably the hardest in the game, and frankly could have used a little more refining on my end. 

In short, its like an audio version of red light green light.

You start by holding down start to close your eyes. Then move the left stick to down-right. Youll start to hear music.  

A voice will tell you to "STOP", then a new instrument will start to play in a different direction, wait a bit til you hear "GO" then move the stick to that spot, if you moved to the right spot youll hear "STOP" again, and a new instrument will start in another new direction.

The tricky part is understanding what a movement is. Think of the stick as a 3x3 grid (Up-left, up-middle, up-right, middle-left, middle-middle, middle-right, down-left, down-middle, down-right). Each movement is 1 space on the grid.

So for your first movement, you'll want to go from down-right to down-middle.

The full sequence is down-right, down-middle, down-left,  middle-left, middle-middle, up-middle.



Alternatively, you can use the Skip Level button in the menu, It'll auto-solve the puzzle for you. It's totally cool to use anytime you get stuck, I understand that these puzzles both might not be for everyone, and that I might not have made them completely clear. Its the story that's more important.

Saving Joy is meant to be a challenge, taking multiple attempts is expected.

You can make it easier by holding the controller upside down, but itll take some inventiveness to handle the trigger presses.

Keep at it! Its just 5 sequences, and you only need to get them right once. 

Thank you so much! and thank you for the feedback. Comments like yours are what make developing worth it!

thanks so much! Your praise means a lot!

Hi all! I've been working on a concept test demo thingy for a twin-stick melee combat game inspired by Punch-Out and the Infinity Blade series.

And... its playable now!

https://caleb-draper.itch.io/slash-out-fantasy-dueling

It features 3 opponents: a tutorial, and two bosses.

Use the left stick to move your shield and block enemy strikes. Once you get an opening, use the right stick to control your sword and slash away! The direction of your input will change the direction of your slash. Input specific combos to deal extra damage!

It'd mean a lot if you check out the page, download the game, and give it a try! I'm really proud of it, as its brought a lot of what I've learned in game dev together into something special.

I really hope you enjoy it!

The world is falling apart. Monsters that were once people stalk the streets. Food is running out, people are dying. Hope is lost. You alone carry the spark that can burn away the darkness and bring light to people's hearts.

• Approx. 1 Hour Long Playtime - This demo covers a complete segment of the game with narrative, exploration, and combat segments.
• Affect Who Lives and Dies - Rescue the missing survivors and complete their tasks to ensure you're ready for the night. Be careful, leave tasks unfinished and people will die.
• Directional, Grid-Based Combat - Brutal grid-based combat with directional attacking and blocking that requires both quick reflexes and strategic thinking.
• A Love Letter to PS2 Horror - Inspired by the likes of Killer7, King's Field 4, and the Silent Hill series, with a unique retro horror aesthetic.

Hell ye, love me some rail shooters. The meat hook conveyor system is a really neat way to include those rails in-universe.
