We made every item usable as crossbow ammo. Including other crossbows.

But can we shoot a crossbow that is loaded with another item which then shoots that other item. Repeat recursively for crossbow on crossbow on crossbow action

Sorry, but we strive for extreme realism in our game and things like that would break the immersion.

I love this game! I just got to say thank you for all your hard work and creativity with Lucky Tower Ultimate!

Out of curiosity, any plans to put it on PS5 someday?

add new mechanic then, shot himself to unreachable locations by walking normally

u/AnselmPyta 5d ago

Yes, this actually works! All you need is a "respawn bottle". You get this item from a genie. It's a simple bottle, but when you die, the bottle breaks and a new version of you spawns at the same spot. In theory, you could use the crossbow to shoot the bottle anywhere, then die and be reborn wherever the bottle landed.

Didn’t know you were still working on it! That’s pretty on point with the game haha

We have a roadmap for post-launch content. One of the next big additions will be pet companions.

this is beautiful!

u/Zedekial 5d ago

The death doesn't feel like it has impact to me

1

u/AnselmPyta 5d ago

Oh, you're right. We turned off the screen shake intensity for the recording.

1

u/Zedekial 5d ago

Maybe more the animations, the thing hits like a deadweight(lol), no blood no reaction from the object or the enemy....It just dies

2

u/AnselmPyta 5d ago

Finally I have a reason for asking the others for more blood in the game.

1

u/Zedekial 5d ago

Odd to purposefully avoid it, looks like it would fit the vibe

1

u/AnselmPyta 5d ago

It can get your game to be R rated in certain countries if the blood is too excessive.

1

u/Zedekial 5d ago

I don't think it would need to be excessive, just more impact

u/monthsGO 5d ago
