Cool demo, I like the fusion of RPG top down with run and gun. Also really nice sprite work on some of the enemies, especially the motorcycle boss (she was supposed to teach you about just flying and shooting down, right...)
I can't wait until the cop stops being a cop. I also didn't use the roll very much though, or the high jump.
The one thing I wish is that people could get into the action a bit sooner, but the tutorial still wasn't very long. good stuff
Made a video
A great mix between top-down RPG and platformer!
I used the keyboard and the controls were easy to use, though for the RPG sections I would suggest having Z be a dual shoot and interact button instead of splitting it between Z and C. It was kind of awkward changing the way my hands rest on the keys between the RPG and shooting sections (I typically have two fingers laying on Z and X).
The art style is great! The main characters are expressive and enemies are easy to tell apart at a glance.
This demo was great to play and I look forward to seeing more development updates!
I have to say that I love this game. The art style is amazing and the gameplay is pretty fun. It's fast paced and encourages the player to kill more and go fast. I did had some trouble getting used to the controls but the gameplay gets better once I figured it out. I do have a question. Does the roll allow the player to dodge bullets? I feel that I never utilised that mechanic very often. A very fun demo and hope development is going great.
Thank u!! Really glad you liked it. The roll itself doesn't make u invincible but it does help when you go under bullets. Stay tuned for more 🤗
