The Coanda Effect
A downloadable game for Windows
V0.2.4 is out!
There were a ton of mechanics added, as well as a set of hittable targets to give a sense of the combat ideas. Aerial maneuvering has been overhauled for the most part, and many of the buttons now have a function (or at least an animation to insinuate a function) for the final idea.
You currently have infinite boost mana, which isn't planned to always be the case. There's also an annoying bug that makes you start falling while gliding if you aim too high up or have other particular scenarios happen. You can fix it by stopping gliding and starting again.
V0.2.4 Added in camera staying behind while gliding, as well as a basic enemy hiding in the clouds to find against midair! (also tried adding a glide toggle fix, but for now just capping it to 60 FPS seems to fix it). Also added in a mana meter which refills by getting hit, gaining speed or impacting a surface with speed. Enemies also now can send you flying a bit when they hit you.
IT'S RECOMMENDED TO USE A CONTROLLER WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVE TRIGGERS AS BOOSTING DOESN'T WORK OTHERWISE YET
Controls
| Action/Mechanic | Input | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Moving/Glide Aiming | Left Stick | Movement and gliding control |
| Camera Control | Right Stick | Controls camera |
| Charge/Release Wind Left Hand | Left Trigger | Charges wind in left hand, amount it's pressed down and speed of release affects power of wind |
| Charge/Release Wind Right Hand | Right Trigger | Charges wind in right hand, amount it's pressed down and speed of release affects power of wind |
| Jump/Toggle Glide | Bottom Face Button | When grounded, lets you jump. When in air, lets you toggle between gliding state and falling state. |
| Glide Roll/Aerial Roll/Dodge Roll | Left Face Button | Lets you pass through wind barriers with ease and dodge pressure attacks. Ground/Air/Glide variants exist |
| Glide Brake/Block | Right Face Button | Lets you stop almost on a dime while gliding, allows you tank and absorb attacks to charge magic (not implemented yet). Ground/Air/Glide variants exist |
| Pivot State/Aim Hands Down | Top Face Button | Lets you gain great mobility control while gliding at the cost of vertical movement and boost power. When not gliding you aim your arms downward to give yourself an upward boost if charging. |
| Bullet Time Aiming | Right Bumper | Slows down time and makes it easier to charge up wind and aim it. Breaks gliding state if gliding. |
| Instant Launch | Left Bumper | A way to instantaneously launch upwards from the ground. Doesn't use pressure, however can only be used on the ground. |
