A friend and I have been working on a fast-paced 3D action platformer - we call it //PHASE-KILLER/ (streamable.com)

You play as a test subject escaping from an underground lab. You have two phase abilities - phase-dash and phase-wave. Phase-dash is a forward semi-teleport which also damages enemies and negates damage while active. Phase-wave is a projectile attack. As the game progresses, more defences will spawn in each room, including laser tripwires, mines, turrets and drones - and, of course, there's always the omnipresent laser grid advancing from behind, getting ever faster. The goal is to reach room 100, beat a final wave of defences, and escape.

Now pretty much all the core mechanics are in place, I thought I'd share some footage and ask the community for your thoughts on the look of the game as it is. You know how it is: you stare at your own project so long, you lose sight of what might be glaring issues to an outside observer.

So, Godot lemmy - what do you think? ๐Ÿ˜…

EDIT: we've decided to share a build with you guys, if you're interested in testing it out. We have Windows, Linux and Mac builds. Have fun! https://irmoz.itch.io/phase-killer

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.
