I appreciate the honest critique! You are not the first to suggest multiple solutions, and it is something I am considering (albeit with a certain amount of hesitation. Gets difficult to code.). At minimum, perhaps I made some elements too difficult.
I will argue against the idea of “no good puzzle game has exclusively one right answer” though. Portal 2, the puzzle half of Resident Evil games, and the VAST majority of point-and-click-adventure games have singular solutions to their puzzles.
Current plan is for the other classes to provide cosmetic changes only.
I think… biggest thing I need to do is somehow change peoples’ expectations of the game. Because it certainly LOOKS like a rogue-like, but it simply isn’t. It’s a puzzle. And so people coming in expecting a rogue-like are getting disappointed. Not sure how to fix that though…
I feel calling OPP’s events vore is a stretch. It’s far from the jaw-unhinging, hands and legs pressing through belly, dissolving in acid scenes I feel vore enthusiasts would feel robbed of if I advertised it as having vore.
Unfortunately, I can’t. Doing that would mean things like the fragile bridge will trigger even if you don’t get Bwomphed during that run, rendering some puzzles impossible. Gotta reset per run.
On one hand, that would be very awesome! On the other hand, those artists would need to make and arrange over one hundred pngs for such to slot into place and work with all transformations.
There has been enough positive feedback that I think this loop is going to stick. When I submitted, I was rather worried what the response was going “less story, more puzzle” flavor of game was going to be.
Yeah; fighting what people ASSUME the game is going to be is going to be an uphill battle, but I’m not sure how else to make the map look.
A valid opinion, but I’m probably keeping clear icons for the events. They don’t mean much until you’ve visited them at least once, and then it becomes very important to remember what means what as you try to map out the solution to the maze.
full-body spherical inflation: probably not. I feel the blueberry (which you’ll eventually be able to toggle off the blue in settings) overlaps a lot, and the boob/butt inflation covers the rest.
We will see if I add more colors to the warriors. Since it’s only one clothing shader on them, I don’t have many more great options for leather colors.
Glad you’re enjoying! And glad most of the puzzles hit home!
You’re not the first to point out the skeleton vs butt inconsistency. I need to figure out some sort of middle ground solution there…
Class switching will only serve cosmetic purposes. And for the same “boy it would be hard to work around that” reasons, DoB is going to play it very loose with OPP’s timeline.
