Nova's Adventure (Sage 2024 Demo)
The Stoy
After crashlanding on an unknown planet, Nova the Star sets out on an adventure to collect all the parts from his broken ship that was hit by an asteroid while on his way home.
Gameplay
Nova can summon Star Bombs that he can throw in 4 directions. Use the Star Bombs to blow up obstacles and enemies along the way.
Nova can also use the bomb's explosion to propel himself in the air, giving him a higher jump!
- Developers Note -
Running can be very useful. Don't forget to use it when crossing gaps with your normal jump; it will give you a longer jump!

This is fucking evil
It's just these sort of parts that really make the game Nova's Adventures to be almost impossible unless you're a pro clutcher, like this part; makes me feel like a noob :')
Fun little game, super cute but really frustrating at times. I think it would benefit from a shorter waiting period after dying and better keyboard bindings.
I like your style - the game not only works on PCs, but it has a very console-like feel to it.
The controller plug-and-play model you're using is not Xbox-specific. It's generic, and so it extends too far. The model will impose on any kind of controller, no matter how generic it is. I wish the controller support could be disabled.
If only I could get past the starting menu...
There seems to be a bug with the keyboard controls. You can use the Tab key to get past the Main menu. Gamepad Controls should work as normal.

thanks but I have no way to use gamepad controls
Have you tried plugging the keyboard defaults into a profiler, like JoyToKey?
I'm sorry but I don't understand
If you have a PC-compatible controller, you could download JoyToKey, and open that program. Then, start pressing buttons on the controller, and you'll see slots of the JoyToKey window turn yellow. If you type a keyboard key into that slot, the controller will then be able to type that key.
Here's a download link:

So got to beat it with the new checkpoints. Its a better for sure but man still very much frustrating to play. Worst part is having a health bar that does nothing. Cute but really frustrating to play.
