End of Rope, refining gameplay


Hello guys!

Just wanted to let you know that I’m currently working on improving the game a bit for the next version. The purpose of the 0.1 version was to get it “out there”, get some plays, some feedback and get the overall feeling of the mechanics.

For the next version, I’m working on making the gameplay a bit more refined. The game is lacking a sudden death mechanic, so it’s time to add it. Also, I’ve implemented a feature for submitting feedback in-game, which will make it easier to let me know what you think about the game.

The push powerup looks like it could need a boost, so I’m balancing some numbers around, and also working a bit on making the powerup a bit easier. The grapplehook could hit the powerup, which pushed it and the grapple got stuck. This is changed, so you pickup the powerup instead. Also, I’m considering adding charges to the powerup system, so you wont have to get another one as soon as you used the current one.

I will also make a few changes to the art, probably the level, and some more tweaks regarding the looks.

For this version however, I will not add any big new features, so there won’t be any new powerups I’m afraid.

If you have any ideas you wish to share, feel free to comment below, and I’ll add it to the big list of awesome ideas =). Maybe you know of an awesome powerup, a score system, a cool sudden death mode, or anything else. Just let me know!

Love,
J

A shit ton of crates!

Preparing for release! Getting real nervous - there's less than a month to the release of Necken, and there's just way too much stuff that needs to be done. Feel free to join the discord if you want to be a part of the release: https://discord.gg/JGV5Gkg

Added a first version of the graphics. Looks a lot better!

Want more grapple hooks? While I’m wrapping up the new version of End of Rope, why not give We are Subjects a go? It’s super cheap and will let you grapple in a cave!
