Well I'll give you this, you're really covering your bases. I didn't know there were this many gaming communities. Basically my entire front page is you posting this.
- I realize I may have become carried away 😅
  
  No. I totally support an indie dev advertising their hard work here.
- It’s a lot. I feel like it’s maybe backfired a bit, because I’m just irked by this enough for my chances of picking this up to have dropped past zero.
  
  Spam is spam.
  
  just a casual superpost haha 😅
  
  You're missing out, it's actually a really fun game.
You should try and reach out to piratesoftware on twitch. He really enjoys these 2d platformers and it could be a huge boost to your sales. The game looks pretty sick btw.
- Thank you! Lmao I actually did show Thor and made a pretty successful youtube short from his first impression: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ozE9GanWOKg
  
  I do have to jump back in the queue to follow up about release tho.
FWIW, not all of us subscribe to every community/magazine out there and this is the first time I'm seeing this.

I bought it. it looks like fun.

EDIT: A second thread is right underneath this one, so, now I've seen it twice, haha!
- Thank you so much! <333
I have a controller that doesnt have left/right joystick buttons so im down 2 buttons. Anyway to make it possible to play without them?
- You'll have access to fewer equipment slots over all but otherwise it should play just fine! I actually started building this with just a snes controller for fun. Game controls can be fully remapped as well <33
  
  Edit: items to equipment slots
  
  But i cant use the item in the tutorial section without the joystick click?
Is it possible to disable the enemy life bars in your game?
- Currently no, but I can add an option for that no problem! It's on the kanban <3
Where's the best place to give feedback?

  Positives:
  
  I'm loving the music so far, really awesome chiptunes, great vibes. I love the fast paced movement and combat, and responsive controls. I'm not sure how much patience I'll have for the precision platforming, but it feels really well done.
  
  Suggestions:
  
  -Default controls for the controller weren't my favorite. It's great that customizing them is super easy. I'd suggest these for the defaults:
  
  -I noticed that the defaults for 'scroll right' and 'scroll left' weren't working with the right stick. I don't know if this could be because I changed the defaults, but setting up these two controls to the corrosponding d-pad buttons fixed it.
  
  -Replace the Reddit link with a Lemmy one instead?
