not sure if this was intended but there seems to be no image for spider creature, also the timer for chosing weather you want to fight or flee is a bit to short, and a visual of remaining time would be nice

thanks for the heads up, the spider image was there for me just now in the test version i am working on which i though was the version that was on the site as far as the images go so i will just reupload it now. i think i will test adding a timer as well before a creature attacks and see how it feels. i want the game to be fun and suspenseful do you think that will add to the game instead of just an unknown jump into the creature attacking ? thanks for trying the game !!

(i've decided to extend the attack timers to 5 sec and add a 'better hurry' visual at 3 sec, thanks)

i was honestly not expecting a timer in a turn based game so it took me a bit off guard, but it is a very creative mechanic that makes the game feel more alive, the art is suprisingly well made too and the whole game is pretty funny.

as for improvements, it is actually a pretty good minigame as it is and there is not much to add other than more variations and artwork, but if you want to make it a more ambitious game than adding other planets, body modifications, equipment, ship customization and a whole lot more is possible, i wish you the best of luck w it, i had fun :)

I played this on itch.io without even knowing of this thread so really random that I came across this after the fact.

Honestly I was expecting this when browsing through the games. As of right now it is a fun game, I usually hate text based games but this was a lot more interactive and fun. I like the idea you have going right now and personally don't have anything improvement-wise to say. I can't wait to see what else you add and how far this gets developed!

appreciate that, I kinda left this thread, F95 and the game for dead and began developing a new game and will likely interact more on itch.io itself. Also thanks for playing the game! I hate text based games as well as games that take time to load or are too complicated but im old and in the minority. There was much more I wanted to add to Callous Company but it'll likely be a slow development until there's a bigger interest for it as i want to keep making different and new games, animations and ideas but i really appreciate you replying and trying it !!!
