Cleaning House

Played a bit of the game and decided to write this, the main gameplay loop is really fun, but there were some things that worsened the experience for me, so i listed them, I hope I don’t sound too demanding, specially for a free game please excuse any writing mistakes, english isn’t my first lenguage, and I’m also not used to writing long texts like this one Rooms: - please remove the cut-scene that happen when you enter a room, it just removes the player’s autonomy for no good reason. If you feel like it should exist in the name of optimization, loading or not allowing the player to leave the room before clearing it, just have each room be divided in two parts, first move the player from the hallway to the first area, lock the door, behind the player (if the player tries to interact with it just have the caracther say something along the lines of “i can’t leave before cleaning” ) and then allow them to enter the actual room - while i’m in the topic, allow the player to exist in the game, being teleported outside the room after getting the perk removes the experience of exploring the cleared room, and collecting any resources you left behind. If you don’t want to risk the perk system being ignored because of it, just spawn the perk box near the entrance. it also opens some options for future updates (if there are any), for example a boss that spawns after you clear a room. -there should also be a way to easily differentiate the rooms you already cleared from the unexplored ones, maybe a giant red X on the cleared ones, or if you wish for the player to think a bit have them be numbered Gameplay: - the slide feels somewhat nice, but it’s kinda short, has too long of a cooldown, and the gradual descent that never reaches the ground, but looks like it should, feels terible. While the slide distance, speed and cooldown is something you, the developer, change depending on what the speed you feel the game should have is, i beg you to skip the slide animation and send the model straight into the ground, or maybe just make it a dash already - maybe increase the jump height a bit, it a bit unintuitive being able to jump on those yellow boxes and not on the rest of the waist high decoration - the axe’s cooldown is just a bit too long, but perks solve it easily, so do whatever with this point animations: - the axe’s attack area isn’t really well defined, making the white line go trough the entire screen and/or slowing down the second part of the attack animation may fix that (and making the windup faster also wouldn’t hurt) - while the cooldown bar works, having the axe just be there, on the screen, on the same state it is when it’s ready feels too artificial, making the axe be outside the screen, or maybe gradually returning it from the bottom of the screen should be better - the revolver’s kick back should happen at the same time as the bullet is shot, and if neither it’s or the axe’s attack will follow the crosshair, just remove it from the screen please hud’s and menus: - being able to close menus with the same button used to open (specially the pause and shop menus) them would make the game feel smoother - showing the total revolver ammo you have in your inventory or the max ammo capacity on a weapon would be better than seeing a lone number near the weapon Bugs: - interacting with the long haired npc does nothing, interacting with the old man npc pulls up the wrong portrait, and probablly also shows the wrong dialog - the shop doesn’t show the ammount of currency you have - the enemy that has an entire body tries to attack from a distance, making me think it’s a ranged enemy, but it doesn’t have a projectile to shoot - resuming a run after leaving once breaks the game, whenever you enter a room it won’t load, won’t allow you to open your inventory, and wont allow you to pause the game thanks for reading, I hope the best for this game’s future development (if there’s any) and also for any future games from this dev
