Improved controls (opening doors/change weapon)


After a bit of play testing myself, I found that there would be some situations where I wanted to change the weapon but instead opened a door that was close to me. I've now updated the code that handles opening doors so that you have to face the door straight on to open it - if the door for example is behind you, or on your left/right side you will instead switch weapons (which is most likely what you intended to do). This is available in version 1.4


I've also updated the ending as the final end screen has been delivered :) So if you have'nt beat the game yet, you got a fancy ending screen to look forward to.

Let me know how you think this change works! It should make combat easier.

Hi I'm having trouble uploading the .pdx file. Is it just the one file needed (1_4.pdx) or the modding file as well?

Hi Mike!


To play the game all you need is the pdx file (or rather the zip file). You should be able to head over to play.date and login to your account, then go to sideload, choose a file and just upload the .zip file (1_4.pdx.zip) and wait for it to finish uploading.

After that you should find it in the play date device, just gotta refresh the list of games and then download it.

Sometimes I think it can glitch out if your updating a game (ie you already have it installed and wanna update). If that happens I would suggest removing it on the device and in your play.date sideload page and just upload it again. Saved data should still remain)

Hi, thanks for the reply. 

It's all great!  Went to try install again, and it was all ready on the Playdate. I must have not been patient enough waiting for the side load process. 

Many thanks.

Alright, happy to hear that :) hope you enjoy the game!

All and any feedback on it is muchly appreciated!

Now I’m playing it’s great! Wonderful how smooth and detailed the game is on a Playdate. 

Thanks :) Happy to hear you like it!
