How does this tie in with the theme, you may ask? Well, you can only hold 20 bullets in your gun. Wow!
Anyways, I can't even begin to stress the pain I've felt making this. I stayed up until 5 am on weekends to work on this, 3 am on school nights. Heck, it's 5 am right NOW. Nonstop coding.. man I can't even remember the last time I got on my laptop and played some Pizza Tower.
I'm genuinely proud of this game, it might be my best yet. Even though it's only one act, well I can always add more. There's a lot more to your moveset than you think; like did you know that if you run fast enough you can smash through crates? And you can chain Boot Slams using a super secret method? I know, I know.
Lots of effort was poured into the visuals. Honestly I think I focused on them a little too much LOL, but at least the game is in a state I'm proud of.
Thanks for my friends for supporting me along this hellhole of a journey, and thank you guys for being my main motivation.
It's INFURIATINGLY depressing that even though you put this much of your time and love into this game, low-effort "ending" or "call" games get more attention. Kudos to you for tolerating those late nights of coding, not knowing whether the payoff will be worth it. Many creators of original, fun, and detailed decks like this one have been there before. Keep up the good work, my friend.
You let remixes onππ, anyways, this is pretty much THE BEST (platformer)game I've ever played and possibly the best in the platform, there is no way you don't get first place and I congratulate you for that, good luck!
I PLAYED AND BEAT. THE Demo.
(I got S rank first try lol)
Game looks great, love the mechanics and enemy choices
The gun is hard to use, had to rely on stomping the enemies during slingshot mode the most. I often run out of bullets too quickly while traversing the stage and the analog stick doesn't make acceleration easy
Hope you get to the podium though! Had a great time :D
