January 2024 Playtest
Hello again! Last playtest was in October 2023! It’s been a while. Lately we have been focusing on the smoothness and polishing up the combat of the game. And in this playtest, we want to focus on testing the new combat mechanics!
BASE COMBAT
Many things have been changed in how you play Brew. Now the basic attack has a set of bullets. These bullets recharge slowly if you stop shooting. But, if you do run out, the mouse will reload the gun by shaking it, making it so you can’t shoot while this happens.
On top of this, we have completely changed the PUNCH. Now, it’s a magnetic punch that will launch you to your destination. It does a good amount of damage, but most importantly, it recharges your bullets.
So now you must keep track of your bullets and make sure to punch in the right moment.
NEW CRAFTING
On top of base combat we have polished the Potion Wheel. We have completely remodeled the potion crafting menu to be more straightforward.
Earlier, you would combine two ingredients from different elements into a potion. Now, you select the potion from the start, and as long as you have the ingredients necessary you will craft the potion.
NEW LEVELS
We are preparing for the next set of enemies and a new boss! But they are not quite ready yet.
We thought that giving you three playtests in the same levels would be a bit repetitive. So, this time we have added the Biology floor to the playtest! Only with the first floor enemies.
This way you get a fresh look at the new levels, with the enemies from the old levels! Hope you enjoy exploring these new areas!
And that is it! We are aiming for smaller but more frequent playtests this year. So you guys will hear from us again quite soon!
