nice game, if you are gonna ever update the game can you add auto collect into the shop, even if is expensive. My wrist hurts a bit from going round and collecting potions.
Thanks for playing. That's a pretty good idea. It would need to be a late game item, but could be fun...
So it only took a couple of hours to implement. I've now added this to the game. Thanks for the idea :)
I think the udate messed up with code so that there are no potions spawning after season 1.
Well spotted. Thank you.
Turns out my change triggered an error that caused the potion spawn timer to go wild... Instead of spawning every 5 seconds, it was trying to spawn every 5 hours...
Fixed it anyway :) thanks again
This Game Very Fun So Far
Controls Are W A S D And Space Bar To Revive Self (When In Green)
Thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed the game so far.
The WASD can be remapped in the settings menu :)
If I'd had a bit more time to develop the game before submitting it to the game jam, I'd have put a better tutorial in for the controls. But that's something I can work on in the future if I choose to develop the game further.
