This was a fantastic first game! I love the amount of thought put into the levels and mechanics. I'm curious. How much development time did you put into this, and what kind of engine did you use?
Thank you so much for asking! I used Clickteam Fusion 2.5 for this. Although, I wish I used Game Maker in the beginning considering my code in CF was a nightmare to read near the end. The development time on this took WAY too long. It should've only taken 1 month or even only about a couple of weeks to do.. but it went on embarrassingly for 5 months working on and off. Solely because of many mistakes I made throughout development. (I.e. Large sprites that are fully animated, planned out 50 levels, an overworld, multiple bosses, more enemies, ect.) I think if anything the actual gameplay with enemies took around a couple of weeks but it was the art that lengthened the development time because I was so invested in making it look pretty. (I should've focused on just finishing sooner with okay-looking art instead of what I made.) I totally don't regret it though as the knowledge I gained from it made me realize what I need to prioritize for my next game.
