There are a lot of reasons that are hard to sum up without getting into personal issues, but besides that, while I love playing this kind of game, I discovered while working on the expanded version that it's not the kind of game I'm really able to, or want to, make. My strengths lie elsewhere!
Really fun, tight platforming! It feels super responsive and the momentum is just right. I'm looking forward to more story scenes. Madeline, however, is still significantly more difficult than the rest of the game. Currently, I'd be totally happy with her as is if that was a hard mode, but she is a little much for what everything else leading up to her is like. Still, an amazing game jam game, and I would straight up pay a good amount of real money if it had, like, a Mega Man number of stages. Maybe a sequel?
expanding on the game with 3 more mech bosses, plus a couple run and gun stages with Katy outside her mech, was definitely something I've considered. though, if that happens, it'll probably be pretty far in the future. I totally burned myself out on this game with how intensely I worked on it during the 2 months of the jam, plus some extra personal drama that happened alongside it, ahaha...
that said, I will definitely try to get those story scenes done as well as some hefty balancing efforts in on Madeline, though it'll probably be taking a little bit of a backseat in priority to another game that I had already been working on since before the jam
I'm not at all surprised you burned yourself out, considering how much is there already! You've got one hell of a game here already, and I will be replaying it, regardless of updates. It feels like you've got such a good framework here that I'd really love to see a larger finished product that i could throw money at. Just sayin' ;). But take all the time you need, it can't have been easy
Madeline is the boss with the least playtesting (was working on her right up until 4 hours from the game jam deadline), so I definitely hope to have her balanced out a bit more by the game's completion, haha

Why was this dropped anyway?

Fair enough! I know it sucks to learn that when I make a type of fiction that I realize I won’t be able to keep up.
glad you found your niche elsewhere tho!
Finished the demo. It was a very exciting experience.
I guess there's two Yuris I have to find let me know if you find both, I can at least show you where one is :D
it's SO hard to do but the current download IS possible without having to cheese anything I was able to do it. Was anyone else able to
fun just hoping in later versions either controller support or a way to bind the keys as i found the normal way uncomfortable
there is controller support in the currently downloadable version. keybinding coming eventually
Thank you

Very fun game! I enjoyed it a lot, even if it was really brutal at times. (Madeline)
I'm looking forward to updates!
