Yeah, arcade-y is what I was going for! Even the font is named “Press Start 2P”.

I wanted to add a high score list, but I added just the normal scoring waaay too late had to keep the scope small for the deadline.

I see the vision here, it just needed some more time. And perfectly cut bird screams when they crash into a tree.

I see someone else is a fan of Deltarune! Some FANCY graphics/polish here, how’d you get the highlight-able text?

I learned things about Ants that I was not prepared for. (EXPLODING ANTS?!) The minigames are cute, I think I just found a sort of magic number to attach to the cube that made it a bit easy. Only the water part gave me a challenge because I think I wasn’t quick enough on the mouse.

Solid roguelike gameplay with graphics that definitely feel otherworldly. Also, who did the sick battle theme music? They’re some bangers!

Whoops, I forgot to make the repository public. Should be visible now!

Gonna let you know now though that the code has a bunch of unused stuff/unfufilled TODOs and questionable attempts at architecture. Outside of the LazyFont and my use of dataclasses for the boid behavior simulation, I can’t recommend some of the practices in there at the moment. Not sure when it’s appropriate to upload a new version though….

Neat concept! I’m guessing you wanted to have birds added when you get to a checkpoint of some kind?

I really love this game, normally I get bored of Suika-style stuff but this adds an incredible amount of strategy and replayability!

Two criticisms though:

1. The game can really can use a save function of some kind for when matches are getting way too long due to neither of you able to lovestrike the other.
2. In the full game, there’s so many items that it feels impossible to make a sort of “build” that you like. Like if I want to build around Expansion Elixir and Hypnotic Spirals to make my opponent’s burner overflow repeatedly, it takes.. a lot of rounds. Inventory management is easily the hardest part.

I like this game, not bad for a first attempt! As the others said, it is a little buggy and could really use at least a save function to overcome it. Not something too complicated, something that just tracks what upgrades you got and just spawns you at the statue. You've put in a lot of stuff to do and it's hard to get around to it all without some random bug crashing the game (I got hit by a goblin when I had beanbag-chair-size breasts and it crashed).

Also I recognize your name from The Overflowing Bra and you wrote one of my favorite stories. :D

Cool, thanks. I posted a comment on your vid asking about what troubles you had with it if you want to try running it again. :)
