the polypire is a game that I have been working on for about a month and a half now. I have had a lot of fun working on it, and I have learned a lot about coding! since this game is only partially finish, I have everything you need to know below

controls 

arrow keys; move

z; jump

x; attack

x while holding up arrow key; attack up

x while holding down arrow key and in air; attack down

c while holding no dirrection; turn into human

c while holding left or right; turn into fox (once you kill it)

c while holding down to turn into bear (once you kill it)

known issues

IMPORTANT; if the game crashes, save a screenshot and send it to me! if you can't do that, tell me which room you were in and what you were doing when it happened. the game crashed once during testing and I have not been able to recreate it. 

music will not play in first room. combat is a little glitch, some hitboxes are broken. sometimes transitioning is not smooth; that's not a glitch that's me not setting some variables correct and I need to go through and fix that.

I should start devlogging at some point lol

thing I will add at some point

-at least 3 more areas,  each with their own looks, bosses, enemys and tilesets

-upgrade pickups (permanent health increase, energy, ect)

-after I finish the other areas I will improve the first area since there will be new mechanics

-decent tutorial lol

-better music

-some enemies will get better AI and sprites

-npcs with lore

GREAT game

if you are thinking about leaving a commet, just do it becase I NEED USER FEEDBACK PLEASE

Hello! This is a great game, but there is one thing.

I don't know if this is on purpose, but maybe take the jumping script and put it sepratly from the rest of the script or something because the player can't jump and walk at once...

can I have feedback on stuff?

how was the pixel art? some of the sprites were placeholders (spirits and some enemys) but how was the player pixel art?

how was the music?

what did you think of the game overall?
