Sorry, if interrupt, but i finish your three metroidvanias (i mean Trespasser, Silent Paradise and Lost Paradise) at 100% and want to ask - is there only Silent Paradise have 101% or i didn't find something?

Yes, right now only Silent Paradise goes above 100% ;)

great job as always! One of the only devs I get excited for when you release on here 

My only feedback - on controller, I have no ability to pan around on the map? So even zoomed out, I often can’t see the whole map. Let alone see it when zoomed in to spot things

The music headphones - I saw no description for how to actually teleport. I tried to open map,  can’t select anything, at a save bench nothing, no button prompt..

And the headphone / talisman that shows missing items - both came too late for me. I thought once I pass the gates it was final boss, so I did a 100% sweep before stepping through. Would have been nice to know that wasn’t the point of no return somehow. Luckily I got 100% without them

But ya, otherwise, thanks for another fun one 

I'm glad you're enjoying this one as well ;)

You should be able to pan on both maps using the left thumbstick or the D-pad (as you move your little cursor). Is it not working on your side?

The headphones can be used from the inventory menu. I should definitely add a prompt to make it more obvious.

I'm also thinking of adding markers on your map so you know how close you are to your objectives (similar to how Hollow Knight has markers for the Dreamers and the Black Egg Temple, nothing more). This way you would know you still have some exploring to do once you enter the tower.

Thank you for the feedback! :)

i gotcha! Yea panning did not work for either  left stick or d-pad, but both worked for movement!

So if I get it right, you can use both the left thumbstick and D-pad to move your character and navigate in the menus, but when you're on the map screen they don't move your cursor? It won't appear until you move it out of the current room, but when you bring it close to the edges of the screen, it's supposed to scroll:

Do you remember if that used to work for you in Silent Paradise?

cursor wouldnt move at all. I am using a dualshock ps4 with ds4windows, and ya it worked in movement and menus. I don't think I had the issue with silent

I'm a simple man - I see a new game by Dri, I click the like button :))

I really enjoyed this one too, felt like a mixture between The Trespasser and Silent Paradise, it was fantastic. The ability to switch between detailed and squared maps is a great addition and the charm system is one of my favorite mechanics to customize the game to your preferred playstyle.

I found only two bugs during my playthrough:

First, in the control rebinding menu you cannot bind an action to the B button (since B goes back to the previous menu). So if you click X on the action, it tells you to press a button to bind, but when you press B, it goes back to the previous screen.

Also on that topic, there's no way to change the map toggle button - at one point I somehow bound both the change pin and map toggle actions to the same button (Y) so I couldn't really change the pin colors anymore; I had to revert the controls back to the default ones.

The other bug I found is in the charm system - you cannot unequip the first two talismans (the magnet and the extra heart). You can unequip the other ones but these two are stuck with you for the rest of the game if you equip them just once.

With that said, neither of these bugs prevented me from enjoying the hell out of this game, just like I did with your previous MV entries. Good luck with the game jam and thank you again for making these! <3

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I will keep making games as long as people enjoy them ;)

The post-jam versions should fix the issues you've encountered, so thank you for bringing them to my attention ;)

I am still unsure if I like the control scheme.
I jsut keep pressing the wrong buttons every now and then by accident.

You can rebind all controls in the settings menu. Based on another of your comments, it seems you're using the keyboard; I highly recommend using a gamepad if possible.

I'm sure it's a false positive, but Windows Defender isn't letting me download it because it says it has the following: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml  Other people might be having the same problem.  Can't wait to play it!

It's strange, I haven't seen Windows Defender trip on it on any of the other computers I tried it on. Is your Windows Defender up to date? The "ml" at the end stands for "machine learning" (meaning AI detection) which is a nest of false positives, but they usually fix it pretty quickly. Anyway, the game doesn't do anything my other games don't. I hope you will be able to enjoy it soon! ;)

Knowing that's machine learning version of "found" made me feel better thanks!  Loving it so far! Btw, is the Vengeful Talisman not supposed to be removable or is that a bug?  (I can't remove the Vengeful Talislam, but other talismans don't seem to have that issue)

There is indeed a bug, thanks for reporting it. It's not exclusive to the Vengeful Talisman: if you equip a talisman, save and reload, you can't unequip it afterward.

Problem is: I can't submit bugfixes during the jam's voting period. But in the meantime, if it really hinders your progression, I can upload the patched version on Google Drive.

Oh no, I'm good thanks! I was able to beat it without swapping it out!  Now I just have to go back through and find the one terminal note I'm missing :)
