last level feels kinda unfair when 3 enemy types attack at the same time

Hey! I'm with the Bogwater Team and I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining in on a small project for the gamejam? we can talk through dm's if you'd prefer

Hihi! I'm the lead artist for Lunarust, (and this game). We are honored by your inquiry, however, both me and OctoHato (lead programmer) got very sick from all  the work from Ganymede, and have both vowed to never work on another game jam entry for the rest of our lives; But we would still be excited to talk if you need any advice or wish to talk about game development!

The Lunarust community server is open to the public, (Linked above) thats where you can find both me and Octo. I also have my discord linked on my profile here.

This game is peak, but for the LIFE OF ME I can't get past what I presume to be the last level... Maybe it's just a skill issue lmao. It just feels like I can be on full power, ready to take on the next enemy and then suddenly all 4 monsters are attacking me at once and I literally can't get to all of them at the same time. Other than that, I think the characters are adorable, the monster animations are amazing, and the gameplay is great... it's just, maybe there can be some balancing for the last level. :P

i had the same issue, but ultimately the problem was that i had grown too reliant on the blue cable

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T FINISHED THE GAME


the strategy is to first off, try to always have the floodlight on, no matter what you plug it to

  • your default behavior should be to make a sweep and then crank the generator
  • if the skeleton arrives, do one or two more sweeps and plug the blue cable into the speakers, then plug the spotlight with the pink cable and get cranking
  • if lizzie comes down while you have the blue cable on the speakers, use the pink one on the shock cage like normal. by the time you deal with her, the speaker should have finished doing its thing, so put the pink cable into the nav and the blue cable into the spotlight, get some power back and start doing sweeps again
  • keep in mind, the nav drains 1 power every 2 seconds, so once you unplug it it's best to keep it unplugged til the last moment
