Hello Everyone,
Mission Control here! Thank you all so much for watching our stream and playing the new ProtoCrogi demo during Steam Next Fest – we’ve been overjoyed by the amount of positive feedback we received from you!
Today we want to show off another feature of both the demo and the full version: difficulty settings!
One of our goals for ProtoCorgi was to make it accessible to a broad range of people. The shoot’em up games of the 80s were thrillingly difficult – since this is almost a genre staple, it wasn’t something we wanted to lose.
At the same time, it is that very characteristic that also made them very frustrating for a lot of people: those with little time on their hands to practice, those simply wishing to play for the joy of experiencing the levels, or even just those with little patience. We wanted to make sure that as many people as possible would be able to love Bullet, as well as enjoy shoot’em up games.
The result of our musings: Difficulty settings!
There are many different challenges for you to unlock: from Pup to Puppest to the elusive Ultra Nightmare! The full version of ProtoCorgi will include a whooping nine different difficulties!
Now, you might wonder what these difficulties will actually look like in-game:
The first difference is the amount of enemies you will encounter. At Ultra Nightmare, Bullet will have his paws full shooting everything in sight! The second difference are the types of enemies you encounter at different stages of the game, as well as their level of aggression. Watch out for vicious attacks from behind!
The same is true for the bosses: more health and a more aggressive attitude to beat! They might also use different strategies to strike you down: the higher the difficulty, the more it will keep you on your toes. Quick reactions are the name of the game!
Will you challenge yourself on Ultra Nightmare? Or go for a not-so-leisure stroll as a pup?
At the end of the day, remember: Playing ProtoCorgi on a lower difficulty doesn’t say anything about your skills. It simply means a different way of enjoying the game 😊
*Mission Control, over*
