The whole game is designed so that it can be played without pressing both buttons at the same time. Where did you particularly run into a problem with the controls ? Double Jump is an upgrade you can get later. There's weapons and special equipment that you can obtained from bosses.
So how do you high jump and attack at the same time then? Or you're not supposed to jump and attack at same time for some reason?
You jump and then tap attack when you're high enough to hit the target. The highest jump slows down the drop of the character so you have enough time to change button for your attack. On the opposite side, it's extremely important to have dynamic control over the height of the jump and it's perfectly balanced to work for the whole gameplay design.
What if I want to shoot while in the middle of jumping, instead of only being able to shoot at the highest point of the jump? Then you'd have to position your fingers awkwardly and use index/middle fingers. I'm only on stage 2 and already half the enemies require shooting while jumping. Enemies require way more than 1 hit to die, I don't see why you say "tap attack when you're high enough to hit the target". It requires spamming the attack button.
Try this out and you'll see the difference: Very short tap and slide to shot Normal tap and slide to shot Long (or hold) tap and slide to shot Perfectly coded to shot any enemy at any given height. Hope this helps.
Anybody know if you can play through normal difficulty after you've already started a game on hard? I can't beat the boss on the ice level, but would hate to lose my progress/achievements.
I'd say no, because this option only appeared in the begining of the game. Reset will pretty sure erase all your progress (and coins?) and probably your achievements too. FDG, please?
Finally cleared the factory, the boss wasn't so hard, but it's the level I've died the most on getting to it. Cleared the castle in first go. I'm gonna farm some lives and coins before attempting the last level. Not sure about playing it hard, as it's took me five hours so far on normal haha.
FDG - first off I loved the game. Beat it a few times already. I've been getting better at the final boss and ended up finding a glitch. I found that the game will lock up if you beat the first 2 forms of Teklov with your hearts+ (Emergency Kit) still intact. The music keeps playing but you never chase Teklov down the hallway and throw in the secret treasures. Anyway..figured I should let you know. Look forward to updates and/or Venture Kid 2. Forgot to add that I'm on iPhone 6s. Thanks. UPDATE: I just beat the first 2 forms without glitching. This time I didn't take any damage - full hearts and Emergency Kit. I've only been able to recreate this glitch with around 2-3 hearts left and Emergency Kit intact.
Hi Redweasel - awesome and congrats on beating the game! Thanks a lot for letting us know about your glitches. We'll look into it! Let's hope we can find the issue that causes it...
Thanks. The game was a good challenge. Not too hard once you figure out the bosses. I admit I felt like throwing my phone a few times with those damn one hit death spikes ^_- The glitch isn't game breaking or anything. Just a weird thing that only seems to happen under certain conditions. Oh and btw - you guys should totally add an unlockable transparent controller skin. Full screen like the steam version would be a cool feature imo
To change difficulty you have to reset the game unfortunately...settings>stats>reset. You will keep all your orbs and achievements so no need to worry there. Hopefully in the future FDG will add multiple save files!
Thanks for this...placebo effect-ish update? Honestly, i did not see a difference on the last boss fight. After beating him twice, i start my travel on the hoverboard. And when i die (usually on the 3rd encounter), i always had to start from here. The exact same as before. Well, i said it - placebo effect. I finally beat the boss. Now i can rest in peace with this brilliant game.
