I know I've already commented on your status about this, but I just wanted to say something about how much I love how the arrows jiggle when they hit a wall, it's such a nice little touch <3

Made it to round 3, was quite fun

Pretty good. Although I think you have to play with the browser in fullscreen mode, as when I was trying to fire arrows, they kept missing when it was in a small window, guessing it was knocking the co-ordinates of the mouse off what it truly was, so the arrows weren't going to where my cursor was.

Other than that it's good fun, movement is quite solid and has a fair amount of difficulty. Any chance of adding a dodge key, or perhaps the ability to roll out of danger?

Thanks! And yes, I'll be adding a dash/roll.

It works fine for me and everyone else, so not sure what went wrong in your case. Could you record your screen while playing it and send the video to me?

Here's the video, think it's to do with my window scaling being set to 150%, it means I can scroll up and down in your game. When I scroll down, it throws the co-ordinates off, it's fine if I keep it scrolled to the top, but can't see adrenaline bar then.

Not much you can do on your end I don't think, and it shouldn't affect many players.

Thanks for the video! I can reproduce the same issue if I zoom into the page. I'll create a thread for it.

EDIT: I fixed it, please test now

Combat seems improved since we last spoke. But eh...seems a bit hollow like not much to do.

Yeah but that's not what I mean. I mean something like eh...hard to explain.

Alright.

 

[O.Stogden]

Just tested it again and the problem seems to be fixed.

Haven't work on this in months, so another dead project. Uploaded it on itch: https://matharoo.itch.io/the-arena
