I think the charter should auto attack similar to how it works in Arc hero

Interesting…

It’s easier to handle and remove some missed hits frustration.
It removes the need of the button that covers the playground..

But that reduces the player role…
It might end not challenging enough.
I’ll give a look to Arc Hero…

I think that can be balanced in many other ways.

Seems that in Arc Hero they balance the lack of player actions with the quantity of enemies and projectiles.
Player's role is to avoid them... and to collect rewards: rewards collection occupies half of the play time :)

So that could do it: Multiple drones and bouncing lasers could compensate the removal of punch action.
Another advantage is that it removes current player placement issues.

And Arc Hero also inspired me another thing...
I first thought that properly adding a weapon in the sprites would be too effort expensive.
But now I see it's possible to imagine a bunch of remote attacks: Power fist, Laser fist, Companion drone...

Add to this a story, some puzzles and that could give a very cool thing.

Now turn this into a full game.

I started that only to test the Upload feature when it was released weeks ago, just to see the possibilities.
Recently, after viewing some new games that still have low to no animations, I decided to publish that test... and I couldn't help adding some gameplay !
But I mostly rely on the community to Remix that into full games 😎

Very nice, Djam. Really helps me get a look at this. Really nice on the shadow, I like how you did that. But do you know what I really love? The explosion/death animation, especially because it’s just particles, but it looks really smooth.

Thanks 😉.

It’s funny that you talk about the explosion/death anim : that’s the one I had to drop because using sprites for it would’ve taken too much time 😅.
That’s why I switched to the simple particles solution...

(the Knight death is inspired by a mix of Another World game and Transcendence movie)
