Dev, any future plans for refighting bosses feature with full team?
Sorry, no plans for retrying bosses or a boss rush style mode.
After playing and enjoying Vision Soft Reset I was very excited to see this game appear seemingly out of nowhere, and have had my expectations met :)
Solid metroidvania, the character swap mechanic is a lot of fun and the main characters are each memorable. Their distinct personalities and dialogues made backtracking a lot more bearable. The combat was fun, the bosses were as well. Overall a very pleasant experience!
My only qualm is that the endgame feels lacking in content. Feels that the character swapping doesn't have a zone which really challenges the mechanic, at most I'd have to use two characters together to surpass an obstacle. Could've really done with an optional gauntlet that pushed the platforming a bit further.
With all that said, great work! I'm eager to see what you guys come up with next!
Any Linux version planned?
It works on WINE but a native version is always preferable.
Just downloaded the demo, played for less than 5 minutes and knew
it was something right up my alley that I'd love. Immediately purchased
the full version and am enjoying this fine Metroidvania. 8)
There's no Linux version planned. Glad you're enjoying the game though!
Getting an error 105 every time i try to save.(fixed since this post)This happens when the game is unable to write to the save file to disc, likely a permissions issue. Are you using PC or Mac?
PC. Also put the game in a SD card if that's a thing. Will check if it works on drive C:.
For PC the game will attempt to read and write to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Seafloor Games\Moonlight Pulse . Usually this isn't an issue, maybe storing the game on the SD card prevents access to the directory.
Can you please update the game and try again? The 1.0.3 patch should fix your save issue.
That worked, thank you for the fast response.
very good
