Can someone plz give me an advice on how to do the green part where you (i think) will get double jump? The part with vertical on/off blocks with spikes on top and bottom.
*Spoilers ahead*
==============
1. Jump through the first block and wall grab the left side of the second block
2. Jump back and wall grab the right side of the first block
3. Jump and wall grab the right side of the second block
4. Jump to left side of top-most block
5. Jump up and around the top-most block and grab the left side of the right-most block
6. Drop down and grab the right side of the bottom-most block
7. Jump up and around and land to safety
I got to step 2, but step 3 seemed impossible. Finally i landed it once, so i know is possible. Thanks
FFFUUUUUU.... ther's more after this section. *frustrated smiley face after once traversing this section after hour of trying :)
Hmm, the only extra advice I can give is:
- Make sure that you hold the jump button the entire time to get the most out of your jump.
- You don't need to hold left/right into the wall when grabbing a wall.
What part of this wall jumping sequence are you dying most on?
3, 5 and 7. In short the steps, where you have to reverse your momentum. I get it's a skill thing and just about practice. The one time I got through all the steps to the next part I just panicked and jumped to a tile that wanished :) But from what i saw that part is mainly just about timing and not too much skill.
Now that i tried again for a while, more difficult part for me is "catching" the small segment of a wall between spikes while falling from a higher place. As in while my falling momentum is greater. But with practice I'm getting better.
Key for steps 5 and 7 is to press and hold opposite movement direction just a fraction of a moment after jumping from wall.
Great pure platformer metroidvania. Would appreciate custom controlls and save.
Hey hovnous, thanks for trying out my game.
I'll take a look at custom button mapping. That should be simple enough to implement.
Saving should work, but it seems that there are saving issues when playing in the browser. Not sure why. I'll look into that as well.
Thanks for the feedback.
Just a quick update:
If you are playing in the browser and are having issues saving, it's probably an issue with cookies being blocked. Once I allowed cookies for itch.io saving started working for me.
Hey hovnous,
Just a quick update:
I've just added button remapping for both controller and keyboard inputs.
Thanks.
thanks
