Hey man! I really love your game! So I made a video about it on youtube. If you have some time check it out. Here's the link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s89h1neUJ5s&t=3

Sevencrane don't forget me when you get famous :D also, did you use bone animation or frame-by-frame? Cuz when you run it's frames and when you jump and fall, it's so smooth. How did you do that?

goodness, i hope this game becomes popular. it's already my favorite game, i can't even imagine how much i'll like the full release (no pressure lol). thank you so much sevencrane, you've earned a new fan. if you do start a kickstarter, you'd better bet i'll donate. also, valentine for smash.

MUCH FOR MY HEAD

NOT LIKE THIS REEEEEE

Really solid game, I love the pixel art and movement, are you planning on making a full game or a kickstarter?

Edit: I just played the lady of the lake boss fight and wow... that was amazing. I just wish that the boss was a bit more challenging because with a good combo she can be taken out pretty easily but at the same time the combat felt really satisfying and the animation for the attacks made it even better

There is a bug that allows you to wall clime before you have the ability by spamming jump. It only works on some surfaces though. Also with the train map on my screen its cut off at the bottom but i think that's just my computer.

Hey can anyone help me I can't find Flynn. The woman at the bar says he's at ground level. Is ground level supposed to be where the Weather Cast Thing is or The Deeps? Also I didn't get it when she said under the OverHang. Help please.

I LOVE THE GAME

Is there a way to get back to deep town after reaching vapor city?

Is there a walkthrough for this? I'm a little stuck. 

btw enjoying the game a lot

The windows exe doesn't get past the unity screen. im looking forward to being able to play however.

I'm using mac. Whenever I open the game, it says made with Unity, then its a black screen. How do I fix this?

umm how do i download

The Linux version boots to "made with Unity" and then a grey screen since the update. Is it similar to the Windows sitch where I just need to rename something? Thank you.

Guys THe Game Has not show me Just when i open Winrar I go to Play the game Its just There Unitycrash Can you fix that?

there wasn't any .exe file to run the game only the unity crash handler

Play Test Report:

-The train system reacts to when I click on "highway terminal" and the train leaves my screen per usual, but the scenery does not change and I do not arrive at "highway terminal". The game does not freeze, it only refuses to move to the new location. This does not happen with any other locations.

-Upon restarting the game and continuing my saved progress, the battery capacity drops from 5 to 3 every time and I'm not sure which value is intended to be played with. Also the currency indicator on the top left of the screen says zero unless I buy something or collect more currency, then the indicator displays the currency I held before I restarted the game plus whatever amount I had collected

-The decorative train at the "financial district" (the train that serves only as decoration for the setting and not actual gameplay) does not go through the tunnels on either side of the level and instead remains in front of all assets rather than disappearing behind the tunnel entrances and exits. The character asset is in front of everything in the "financial district" as well, including the pillars holding the room up and the train that passes by every once in a while. (This does not effect gameplay and can probably take the least amount of priority. I just thought you might like to know)

-Platforms that are slanted won't allow my character to stand still when stood on and the character slowly slides down the slope (this bug can be ignored too, though)

-I found that holding down and right (or left) while dashing and sliding (pressing x right after a dash) allow my character, regardless of whether I get the timed dash in or not, to move phenomenally faster than simply using the timed dash on its own. I managed to test this in the wide open area at "cerulean cove".

-At "cerulean cove", the reflection of the character off the ground is a giant heart rather than the character's silhouette, though this, in my humble opinion, should remain as is :)

for some reason i cant get to the highway, it soft locks the game. thought id let ya know, the train leaves and comes back and i then just cant move

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oXtbIvCRQ09DZQvJJ7lyYR3mR4QKI5-X/view this is my runthrough of vapor trails sorry cant afford premuim to get unlimites time instead of ten 

Interesting game. Hope to see the full version

Also, why can't you dash while holding down+forward? This completely kills speedrunning on keyboard/dpad, since you have to hold an east by southeast angle on the analog stick to do dash-slidekicks.

Just found this and it is excellent.  I hope more is coming someday.

Some issues:

lever positions reset when you leave/re-enter screens.  This is weird, and a little annoying.

The door in the back of Lauren's house is locked, but the basement door isn't, but the basement door just puts in the normal entrance

Rod's house is called the other people's house (Tara and Lester?) on its title card

You can't talk to Tara in Deep Town, even if you are in the appropriate proximity (e.g. via chain dash jumping left from the ledge near Lauren's house and then double jumping up near the platform)

You are kinda a jerk to people, for no reason I can discern at present.  Like, the first boss you take her core and just have Lauren use it as a power source till it dies-- that's kinda... harsh.  And then you're just like "Oh, Flynn keeps a prismatic in a torture box as a slave for fun.  That's fine, cause they were dumb to let themselves get put in a torture box" which is not great. You also don't react to people not treating you like a person pretty much any of the time, but maybe that is internalized antiprismatic sentiment.  Or maybe you *aren't* sapient?  That would explain everything, but I don't buy it based on the motivations the prismatic characters seem to be expressing.

When the subway spawns, it's solid even before it gets into the station.  Chain-dashing and jumping right off the weather station lets you jump off the subway at high speed while it is in mid-air before you eventually hit the water.  This leads to the command 'relocating to somewhere safe' being printed, but it is actually not safe because then you respawn in the patch of air where the subway was and fall into the water again.  Fortunately, the game then spawned me back on shore or I dashed there from spawn, not sure which.

You don't need to talk with Flynn to pick a fight with Richter.  Val's happy to do it all on her own.

Flynn mentions the sword the notes on the last update say you removed.  It wasn't too jarring, but it should probably be changed.

seven crane are you working on a full game

I'm new to this game; just found it today. I played through the demo but found that a lot of the content such as the arena was not available. I searched every nook and cranny of the maps, but I assume you are redesigning all of the levels since the levels on this update are noticeably cleaner and crisper, therefore removing the previous levels. They look absolutely fantastic and I hope you are able to make time to develop this personal project into a full fledged game.

(The following points are in no way attempts at criticizing the game, but are merely ideas in my head and bugs I've noticed that would improve the game if added/removed regardless if you yourself has thought of/noticed them)(I use windows in case that info is important)

-The healing function, space+shift, is very difficult to use and needs room for error in the action

-The train system doesn't work properly: the only open fast travel points on the map are the night market and weather station 7, but once you go to weather station 7, you can't return to the night market (if you try, the train exits as usual, then the screen goes to black and nothing happens afterwards). Also the sludge temple has a train stop that we have access to at the beginning of the game, although it is not an option to fast travel to on the city map. Finally, you can't exit out of the city map.

-"Val" still shows her silhouette+sword when entering and exiting the train

-The only enemy npcs besides the boss are in the sludge area, though this was probably done on purpose just temporarily, and the muscular sludge monster doesn't react to my presence unless I attack him.

-The cigarette box doesn't leave the inventory when given to the man in deep town.

-The inventory doesn't scroll down to new items unless an entire row is filled, but they still show the info sheet properly.

-The parry is practically useless. It constricts movement too much and is easily substituted for the faster and more entertaining dashing. A different type of attack, such as a stun, would be a more satisfying replacement and the absence of a purely defensive move would be an interesting and unique design choice.

-the timed multi-dash is too overpowered when given the ability to recharge battery. Essentially, the character never runs out of health.

-If may add, try to keep the maps as open and big as possible. The unique quality the game has, in my opinion, is the speed of the character. To increase the density of the maps and add precise platforming would dramatically slow down the character. Warframe is probably the most similar example to this game (mechanics wide at least) and worthy of taking note of.

Other than these things, just more content and harder, more dynamic enemies. Being able to change the layout of the keys would be nice and/or the default set to WASD, Shift=dash, space=jump, JKL=melee, U=ranged.

Thank you

P.S. You have to have some Easter egg lore setup behind why there are pumpkins growing in a cave.

how do you get out of conversations and screens?

This game has a lot of potential and it hopefully goes great places. Great game so far (good enough for me to create an account just to say this).
