Really fun, I love being able to mine out the blocks with the lasers to find things. My only complaint would be how controllable the character is, the acceleration speed is weirdly too slow to start and too fast when you get going and makes the platforming really fiddly
Thanks War10x, that’s really helpful feedback. Please could I check, what refresh rate is your monitor? (just thinking whether the physics might be going funny). I’ll also do some testing of a slightly higher minimum speed.
Pretty sure it’s 165hz, I was just finding the jumps fiddly because I wasn’t getting up to speed within the allowed distance :)
Awesome. Sounds like an easy fix, and also sounds like I need to do some testing at higher refresh rates (it was developed at 60hz). There are also some places in the map (eg, just beneath the rocket boots) that could do with tweaking too to make the platforming easier. T :)
Overall though I love the aesthetic, I went with something very similar to your CRT effect. I think it adds so much!
Right, I have updated the controls to make the runner extra snappy .. hopefully that feels better to you (I can't tell anymore, as I've been testing the game too much over the last few days!) Let me know what you think :)
