Right now, for me it kinda feels like an average platformer dude, but with tentacles following them.
It’s weird, I can’t really put my finger on it.

But I think it would be doom if the tentacles dragged you across the floor, instead of them just flopping around, and maybe they could grab onto ledges instead of being kinda useless for movement,

A good inspiration for this is the movement in carrion. (Not at all a similar game though… unless you plan on adding dubious amounts of blood) You use your tentacles to move around and squeeze through gaps.

But that’s just my take, it’s your game….. you don’t have to change anything if it’ll alter your original idea.

Uhh is there a better way to do this?
Nevermind, I’ll do the rest and then story mode

i love how goofy it is now. (its a lot more fun and natural though)
and its really fun to be able to launch myself wayyyyy too far.

I love the opening scene! I like how it’s a bit funny with the cat (? Whatever the white and black creature is) pulling your username across the scene. Plus the music is also really good too.

It’s a character I made named Dave (the same character from my pfp, he is kind of a cat, but it would take AGES to explain what he actually is, cuz he’s from a HUGE project I’m making)
The song you hear here is a jingle from another song I did in bandlab
I… I’m not giving much context abou the song

Since the game will be mostly crammed spaces, you won’t be able to launch yourself far away (only some parts)


Oooo… a button! I wonder what it does :thinking:
