Hmm, you put me in an awkward position. We were planning on simply having this environment ramp up in intensity toward the final room. (The game should really only take about 10 minutes to complete. Something of a proof of concept for us.)
But you throwing out the idea of other environments does tempt me to suggest increasing the scope!
By speed settings, are you referring to player speed, laser grid speed, or some overall speed scale? You raise an interesting point.
Also, if you'd like to try it out, we have builds of the current state of the game to test out: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jsOXz3Isfp6CTGfL7PfKGCqF4xxdMJjV?usp=sharing
Any feedback is welcome, however incisive, scathing or negative. Positive is nice too, but we can't be too presumptuous :P
Really, any speed settings would help make the game more accessible and approachable.
Some people may enjoy the parkour elements but not have the motor skills to handle high-speed reactions.
Other folks may be great at the fast paced movement, but get frustrated by the number of enemies or the speed of projectiles.
If you are able to offer sliders (or even just low/medium/high) options for things like movement speed, enemy frequency, damage taken, and grid reaction time? If you can do that without having to remake your code or game engine? It'll mean a much wider potential audience for your game.
Speedrunners and streamers can have fun setting everything to the fastest and hardest difficulties. Casual players can have fun with it without getting frustrated.
And sweet, you've got a Linux build. I do most of my gaming on Linux now. I'll try to check out the demo.
These have all been great suggestions! Thanks so much for the feedback, it will certainly help inform our next moves. And also, thanks for checking out the demo :)
Also - if you do increase the scope, you could totally, like, intend the game to be ~10 minutes segments. Maybe release the first segment once you think it's polished enough, see whether you want to add additional areas or environments with more levels and options.
Basically, don't get burned out with scope creep. If you have something that works, release it. Even if you want to add more later. :)
