The Way of the Exploding Nuts
Squirrel-San! This is your mentor, the Sensei Mole. I need you to complete a very important and most dangerous task - you must use all your training to find my mysterious and much sought after Magic Plants! They have been stolen by the devious Rat King of Siam, and his evil minions. If you can find them all, the rewards will be great and rich. And, at last, I can get high...I mean "highly rewarded" by the ancient spirits of the mountains. And stuff.
HOWEVER, you must be mindful of your training...
W, A, S, D is the way forward. And back. Actually more like left and right. And up and down on the LADDERS.
E is pressed to interact - USE THIS TO PICK UP THE PLANTS.
SPACEBAR is jump. With your special squirrely leap, no gap is too great, no ledge too high. Probably. AH BUT THE LEDGES, SQUIRREL-SAN!! You must heed this advice:
LEDGES. You must grab them (you will do this automatically when close, using purely the mystical POWER OF THE EXPLODING NUT, as I have taught you. Each magic plant (yes, I know, they ran out of time to make the nuts...) boosts your attunement to this ancient nutty power. WHEN YOU ARE ON THE LEDGES YOU MUST PRESS "E" TO UNLEASH THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCES OF THE EXPLODING NUT!! The stronger you get, the more forces will be...forced.
Beware the Minions of the Rat King of Siam. They are numerous and evil to the point of being actually quite unfair.
Use the forces of the Exploding Nut to unleash hell on them.
Press ENTER to use the Punch, your most trusty skill, and actually the only one you have unlocked at the start. It's just how the disciplines of the Exploding Nut work, you know this, Squirrel-San.
But anyway, PRESS ENTER to PUNCH.
SPACE TO JUMP.
E TO INTERACT.
W, A, S, D to move (up and down only works on ladders)
Realise, THE TERRIFYING ZOMBIE SAMURAI ARMIES OF THE EVIL DEAD will never relent, with their cute little swords, unnatural hatred of squirrels and questionable pathfinding...
BEWARE THE GREEN DOGGO...he will never give up and can crush you into a tiny piece of squirrel dust.
Quick, go now, Squirrel-San. Our time is limited. If the evil Rat King succeeds in using my plants, there is no telling what wrath may fall upon this land...

Hey Davy! Fantastic job with the first level! I would say I had two issues with the game that I could bring up.
Hey GREG, thanks so much for the feedback :D really appreciate it and glad it at least worked (a bit) haha ;)
thanks for both those points, you're totally right. I was worried about the feel of the controls, especially the punch. defo will get to work on making them better!
Also it's really helpful you tried to gamepad, i'd configured it on unity but haven't got a pad I can use to hand lol, so I didn't mention it in the description! on one hand I'm pleased it works (a bit, lol) but that is concerning cos it should be configured that the a button (on xbox) should be jump and the b button (on xbox) should be attack. I'll have to get a controller and try and work it out. think I might make a little interactive mobile joystick as well so at least I know I can code that to work with the right button.
thanks man, really appreciate the feedback. btw I've made sprite designs for a few characters etc for card shop kid, I'll export them as pngs this weekend and see what you think (if you're still interested in them that is, no worries if you've decided to move on with other sprites etc)
cheers and speak soon :D
Yeah sure man, no problem! Thanks for the effort on the sprites! Can't wait to see what you came up with!
