Even though 'the main purpose of this Beta is to test the complex server backend'.
It's always fun to discuss all the other aspects aswell as give feedback.
I will also be keeping two lists of the following things;
'Bugs & glitches' and 'Other ideas'.
- In the first list, I will put any bugs/glitches that I or other players have encountered while playing the Beta.
- In the second list, I will put any other ideas that could improve the game.
These ideas are just there to inspire M&R.
And to push this game the fullest potential ofcourse!
Bugs & glitches
- - Own score being displayed incorrectly on the leaderboard + not able to watch the replay. This glitched score is only visible for yourself. For others it is still displayed correctly.
- Spamming the X-button when confirming to publish a level, will cause the level to publish multiple times.
- Ninja can jump through horizontally placed one-way platforms (similar to Nv1.4)
- When watching a replay which includes 2+ players (Co-op) the game may sometimes switch up the spawn points. This results in a bugged replay in which the players seem to be jumping around randomly.
- When 'Sound' is set to '0' the sliding sound of the ninja is sometimes still hearable.
- - Fully customizable button layout.
- If the previous option is not so realistic, then; Being able to change the left&right inputs to L1&R1, instead of the stick/D-pad. L1&R1 give you more control over the ninja + your thumbs don't get sore after doing some intense runs.
- Some text notifying whether you've beaten your previous personal highscore or not. Similar to what the Nv2 browser version has.
- An in-game reference to this forum would be good to encourage community communication (maybe add a QR-code?).
- Option to lock theme, as it changes every time one enters the main menu.
- Level rating feature this could be a like/dislike system or the classic 1-5 rating system.
EDIT: I guess I hadn't noticed the '++' rating system, my bad.
- Additional to the previous idea; feature to comment on a level.
- Author's username should be shown in the bottom of the level, just like the title of the level.
- Feature to look at the leaderboards while playing an episode/level OR being able to see the top score on the current level/episode.
And don't forget to post your own experience of the Beta in here too! The more feedback the better!
