Saving, shaders, and gamepad support don't work in the browser version! Plus other glitches. The downloadable version works better and runs faster!

Hey there. I tried out the demo. Although the game didn't need to include the "Set Buttons Manually" feature, it does work properly. I disliked the fact that the game imposes its own controller profile, *before* you create a manual one, regardless of whether the controller is an official Xbox one, or a generic.

Beyond that, everything about the game looks and sounds great. I am tempted to endorse it on my new site, conflexgames.com

Well rapidly tapping shift activates sticky keys :/

I think the only work around would be to disable sticky keys.

Finished the demo, but still couldn't figure out why taking down a enemy with dash usually does damage to the health as well.

I assume it's not a primary mean of attacking enemies.

it depends on the enemy and timing of you doing it. it can destroy weak enemies but harder enemies will take multiple hits to destroy, so its best to use other powerups. the fire breathe is the best attack in the demo

Linux version doesn't seem to work, also switching windows or workspace breaks the game on the windows version

after playing for a bit the movement feels kinda slow and the jumping is very floaty, some animated sequences are also really slow, dunno if its intentional or if this version of the game is somehow broken.

the game also seemed to be kinda unresponsive

Hey! So I re-uploaded the Linux version and it now seems to be working normally on our end! Let me know if it's working for you, hopefully it fixed any performance issues you were having.

the performance issue with the game is gone now (when playing the windows version on linux via umu launcher + proton GE)

the linux version still crashes though with this error message

Error : Could not load module lime@lime_application_create__prime

Hmm, I'm so sorry! I don't know why it's not working for you... does it crash as soon as you launch it?

yeah
