Fifth Trick: Enemy stunning. (This one is not really a trick, just a mechanic I don't see many players utilizing from playtests.) You can stun enemies with certain attacks causing them to cancel their current move. It's also a good way to bring flying enemies down as they cant fly while stunned!

Fourth Trick: Attack canceling, when you attack normally you have a brief 'recovery time' after the attack is done but you can cancel out of that recovery period much faster if you dash. (It'll cost you stamina though!)

Third Trick: Is input buffering. If the player is busy doing another action I store your last input so that it'll execute as soon as the action is done. In the video here I'm pressing the attack button as she's traveling to the floor, so she'll execute it right after the ground pound is finished.

Second Trick: Is the classic 'coyote time' to give the player a very small window where we still allow her to jump after her feet are already off the floor so that it does not feel like your jump input was dropped.

Here's a few little tricks I used in my game! 👽 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev First Trick: I separate the player's physics from their model briefly after jumping so that I can give her a slight anticipation without taking control away. In the vid, the sphere is the real player! More in the replies!

Working on a new enemy right now! Technically there's 3 other room types that've been in the game but I pulled them before releasing to try and polish up the gameplay in them a little.

Thanks! Yep, you can get mods for example that put certain enemies in front of the shuffle to do things like pulling health drops early.

Your enemies are your 'deck' so to speak and they get shuffled / delt every round.

EldritchMaid 🦐 @eldritchmaid.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Probably more enemy / room types! but that might still be in the works 👀

Pro tip, you can render VDB's in blender if you ever need some realistic explosion effects! JangaFx has some very nice CC0 ones

Thank you! And nope... Just stuck an animated sprite onto the camera (probably not the best way to do it but I'm new to godot)
