lol wtf?



UPDATE:

The Storm Valley has been completed, took me all day to work bugs and get the zone perfected.   I will be working on the Creepy Forest next.

Added a lot more detail to previous zones.  Things look a lot better now.

POSSIBLE ADD-ON:   

I've been thinking if the game needs anymore that your fairy can do without breaking it.   If you have any ideas don't be afraid to post it.

UPDATE: 

Added a line of code that prevents enemies from attacking the player multiple times.  After you're struck the enemy will pause giving you enough time to move again.



What exactly is "Love Love Sparkles"?

Looking for some feedback if you have the time.

Just downloaded it, and I'm going to start playing it now. Expect my thoughts soon

Initial thoughts - Mkay, I made it past the first boss battle and died in the second area. Some bugs I noticed from off the bat:

Stage 4 of the first level, one monster spawns right in a tree and cannot move around. In stages 2 and 3, after I hit the guys with the first crystal stunning power, they quit moving... period.

I'll post more once I beat the second level. I'm liking this so far, especially the useage of the fairy's sound effects.

Has anybody beat the demo yet?

The kobolds have a natural stand around and be stupid in their AI lol.   Combined with the crystals power it can make them look like their not moving at all.  If you give it time they will resume movement.  I made them act stupid because it's the first stage and I did not want to make this part of the game hard.


I'll take a look at the monster spawning in a tree O.o

EDIT FROM ABOVE:

Good eye on the kobold in a tree on stage 4 of Grassy Field.  I found the problem and it will be fixed.

downloaded and im playing now. Ill edit my post when im a little further in.

Edit: Ok dude, very fun. That was awesome. Stage 3 with the Harpies gets tough. The second level, i think it is, is just Mean. There are 2 crystals down one way paths. You basically are forced to sacrifice a life to get it. I only got to the last boss in Stage 3 once, and it took about 8 tries. I was soo close to being him too, till his Whirlwind **** instant killed me right after a respawn.

One thing that is kinda annoying (harpy level mostly) I respawned with both Hapries on me, and they chain killed me for all my lives, with nothing i could do about it.

But short of that, i like it    Its definately challenging, and one thing im sure sick of these days are Easy challengless games. So this was a refreshing breathe of fun.

Awesome dude, remember that getting hit by some monsters can be a good thing.  Once you get the hang of it the stages so far are cake.    The zones I have planned will make things much more difficult mwahahahaha!


I'm glad you enjoyed it dude.  I was not really planning on this type of game but I am kinda hooked on it now lol.   I will get a lot of stages made up and release a nice big version to bust your brain too.

Thanks for the feedback I hope others tried it as well.

Ok i beat Stage 3. Only took like 15 tries and i got lucky, cause the harpy hit me onto a log, then hit me again and i went to the other side of the log away from the enemies. And for the boss i managed to ninja the Crystals before he started spamming that whirlwind thing.

Exactly, some enemies have pushback that you can use to your advantage.  Most pushbacks will push the fairy backwards so if you face a certain way to be pushed that way on purpose you can get things you would usually have a hard time with.  That's one of the tricks of Crystal Crazy     In the up-coming zones I have planned monsters will have even dirtier tricks up their sleeves and their will be traps in some areas of the stages like pitfalls etc.   It will just get harder and more fun >,<

I think the fairy should learn the odd ability here and there through the game.

she needs some kind of tricks up her sleeve...

Yeah, I was considering maybe giving the player some options but I honestly don't know if that would make the game to easy or not.   I was even considering where she can visit some towns and buy things with money she makes..  "Possibly letting players farm zones" I don't know. 
There is only so much I can do with the game without breaking it.

Well 2 ideas that keep popping to me, i dunno how do-able set idea is, but something like

"Flight" - able fly off the map without dieing for 5 seconds.

"Love love sparkles" - Randomly stop one enemy for 1 second.

just ideas
