Hi there! I'm using my PS5 DualSense controller plugged into my PC and, for some reason, I can't hold down the Jump button to jump higher; it only does the shortest possible jump. Using X on the keyboard works fine but not for the controller. I also tried this with the PS4 DualShock controller and the same thing happened.
Hello! Strange bug you have there, I'm using a PS4 DualShock too and it works fine. A friend of mine also tried with the PS5 DualSense (I don't have one sadly) and he said it worked fine too so I'll see what I can do but that's weird! Sorry this happened to you.
I also experimented with remapping the gamepad controls. When I clicked on the Jump input, it immediately made the button L2 without waiting for a further input from me. I feel like the game might be registering the same button input twice for the X button on my DualSense?
Hey there, sorry this happened! I thought the problem was fixed already, but it seems it isn't... Actually the cause of this is the red background, I'll fix this in the next update, which should be live in the following days. Thank you for your patience!
Hi, as odd as this sounds I bought the game on itch, unzipped it, added it to steam library for steam input and now i can't play the game. it keeps saying "An error occurred while launching this game: No License" then i deleted the library profile but it keeps happening despite clicking directly on the file and not steam. is there a way i could have help with this? i would really like to try my purchase...
This is a situation I didn't expected, and I may have a solution for you, I just need to make some small modifications before and it may take some time. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused!
Hello! I'm really really sorry for the long wait, I'm just adding a few bug fixes before I can publish a new version, but if I did things correctly this should be good next week or so.
Hello! So I'm not sure this will work but normally the new update should fix your issue now! I hope it does anyway, please let me know! Thanks again for your patience!
This was a fun game. The level and the Music were beautiful. The Graphic looked nice. The Boss in the end had the right difficulty. I recommend everyone on playing it. I made a video if someone is interested
Hey Spielpro, thanks for your awesome vid and nice comment! I really enjoyed watching you play Decline's Drops (and it also makes me realize how much the game has actually changed/improved since this demo, which is great too) and I really hope you'll like the final game! See you next time!
This game is incredible I absolutely like it the art style the music and the gameplay are all so unique and incredible I played this game in a random games video but overall I enjoyed this one.
Nice work! I'm a dev too, so I thought I'd check the game out.
I think I encountered a bug here:
The character was in the bottom-right corner, but when I jumped up to the roof, the camera bounds moved over to this other room with the boxes. Not sure if that was intentional or if the bounds of the box room was placed incorrectly.
One more thought: I like that you can't cancel your attacks into a parry, otherwise you could cheese the boss by parrying on reaction. However, because of this, it feels like the best strategy is to jab the boss instead of comboing. If you get locked in a combo when the boss attacks, you'll get hit, so it's safer to use individual attacks and wait for a chance to parry.
Could probably be fixed if the boss enters hitstun when you combo them - but you also don't want the player to button mash, either, so it's a little tricky. Just something to keep in mind.
Hey there, thank you very much for your feedback and bug report!
There's a ton of things that need to be improved regarding the combat system, and I have to find ways to force the players to vary their strategies. I noticed what you mention too and actually, it kind of applies to every enemy who has more than one HP, so I'm currently trying to find some solutions. One could be, for example, to add way more HPs to the enemies so the attacks can have more important differences in term of power, making it so the jab only is dealing minimum damages and used for reacting quickly. Another solution is, as you said, creating a hitstun state for enemies when they get combo'd, and I'm thinking about enemies that need you to perform specific attacks in order to get hit.
This is an excellent game. It makes me very happy to see it grow and recieved support. I hope this video will be useful to make Declines Drops a little bit more public with hispanic gaming community.
I love to see the progress of the game, as well as the progress of my gameplay hehe.

I appreciate your action!

Also, L2 tabs me out of the game.
Game massievly slows down when Scientist boss' start of 2nd phaze
maybe that black goop is problem?

Hi,
This is a situation I didn't expected, and I may have a solution for you, I just need to make some small modifications before and it may take some time. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused!
I understand. thank you for responding! take all the time you need. also, for what its worth, good luck!
I'm getting the same issue.
Hi again, I just wanted to ask if that solution will be ready next month or some time after? (No pressure, i just wanted to ask)

I understand. Coding, debugging, testing and stuff takes a ton of time. Thanks for the reply. Good luck!
Hello! So I'm not sure this will work but normally the new update should fix your issue now! I hope it does anyway, please let me know! Thanks again for your patience!
For some reason, there's no option to buy the game

gangco !???!? also everything else about this game!!!!???!
This is a very cool game. I love how you implement versatile verbs in the combat system.
Thanks a lot!
I think that you should make it so that you use WASD keys instead of the arrows thanks!
love the game can't wait for full release
