been a while

man i miss hanging out in like, actual forums

it's all, like, discord and reddit now. things've got a lot less inclusive and more just, really fast paced and unfocused. i dunno. i like that this place still exists and there's still a tiny group of y'all still posting here. feels like a tiny chunk of the older nostalgic internet is still left, or something.

i know i've never really been super active here or anything but it's still nice.

maybe make it so like, make it a hold command, and while ducking you can't jump, but you can duck in midair?

also the reduced jump height makes this screen trivial

you can clear it with a full-height duck jump super easily, you don't even bump the thing

though the rest of the area is still pretty tough, i think it's a lot better now tbh

also that last jump is dastardly cause you'd think it'd be better with the duck jump, but the regular jump is better since it has a running start, on second thought this iteration of the duck jump is pretty dang good ignore my suggestion from earlier

also i love how it squeaks like a little squeaky toy, makes mashing down hilarious



more edit: you might want to disable ducking when you're in warping range of a statue since both of those happen at the same time

maybe holding down would squish the kitty down a couple pixels and reduce its hitbox a bit as well as making it bounce a little less? horizontal movement would still be slippery and it wouldn't be a HUGE difference in bounciness

aww, he's beautiful
he looks like you guys took great care of him, i'm sure he was happy as he could be the entire time you had him around

<3

(i'm actually tearing up a bit cause he reminds me of our old cats too)

oh actually you can easily trigger the glitch by rapidly warping between statues which is almost guaranteed to happen

hmm

oh that sucks to hear aim :c

thanks for the credit tho......you think you'd add a little homage for chu on the credits too?

NPC code is implemented in a very basic form. I still need to make them actually do things, but for now you can just talk to them

those are pretty good!!

bloop.wav feels kinda messy and repetitive so i can see why you're iffy on it

You think you'll make it so swing.wav and swing-alt.wav play in tandem? so like, when you go from upper to lower town it'll change the volumes of the songs so it's a seamless transition

darkness.wav is good for the red castle. the dungeon is spooky with scary skulls so you could just have a creepy droning track for that

also, suggest: maybe have no music play in the screens in this red square? that initial period between breaking out of the first room and finding the heart counter was really neat and felt like i was cheating and going somewhere i shouldn't, especially since the first room looks like a dev room. having music in that little segment might dampen that feeling a little bit
