One Bullet Dokibird

Post-jam update!

Thank you to everyone who played our game during Doki Jam! Now that the jam is officially over, we've got a big update to flesh out the game a little as well as add a bit of bonus content to unlock.

We've completely overhauled the aiming system with a new UI, better sensitivity response, and a smoother laser at extreme sensitivities. It should now be much easier to get some really creative angles, so bounce away!

There's also a brand new gallery mode that unlocks upon completing the story, featuring CGs, concept art, spritework, and sketches by the team. For the achievement hunters out there, we've also added a bonus CG as well as a secret ending, each with their own unlock conditions.

You can find the full patch notes below. We will also preserve the version that Doki played and was judged by the jam team in the downloads (v0.7.8).

Thank you all again for playing!

Controls

• WASD / Arrow keys: Run
• Right click / Q (Doki): Enter aiming mode
• Left click / F / Space (in aiming mode): Fire
• WS / ED (in aiming mode): Adjust sensitivity
• Tab: Switch between Doki and Mint (if available)
• Left click / F / Space (as Mint): Push objects
• R: Reset level
• Ctrl / Shift: Walk (slower)
• Mouse wheel up / down (in aiming with reactive sensitivity off): Adjust aim sensitivity
• M: Pause and open in-game menu

What is Reactive Aim Sensitivity?

You might have noticed this complicated sounding option in the settings menu. One of the biggest technical challenges we faced during development was controlling the aiming laser; true to the theme, the tiniest nudge in angle can result in wildly unpredictable changes after four or five bounces. We wound up implementing two systems to help the player with this:

• Reactive mode (default) automatically lowers the sensitivity with the number of bounces in the predicted path
  
• Manual mode allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the aiming laser with your mouse wheel if you want more control

With reactive mode on, you can still override it while aiming by adjusting the sensitivity using the manual controls. The reactive sensitivity will be disabled until the bullet is fired or the aim button is released.

Changelog

• 0.7.4
  • Doki Jam release!
• 0.7.5
  
  • Switched default aim mode to reactive
  • Fixed some graphical issues
    
• 0.7.6
  • Added Shift as an alternate keybind to walk (because Ctrl-W closes the browser tab) and added Q as an alternate keybind for aim (formerly Shift)
    
  • Fixed an error in the title/intro art assets
  • (Windows build only) Added fullscreen toggle in settings and fixed window sizing and positioning for 1080p screens and smaller
• 0.7.7
  • Fixed graphical issues in stage 5 and stage 12
    
  • (Web only) Fixed BGM looping bug
  • (Windows build only) Fixed window positioning for more edge cases
• 0.7.8
  
  • Fired bullet should now be accurate to the aiming laser even after multiple bounces. It will still not account for obstacles destroyed by explosions mid-flight (by design), but it should no longer veer off course due to compounding physics errors
  • Fixed factory ambience being unintentionally too loud
  • (Windows build only) Fixed mouse cursor snapping to the center of the screen when opening or closing the in-game menu (unfortunately we don't have control over this on web)
• 1.0.0
  • Overhauled the aiming system!
    • New UI for sensitivity feedback
    • Now using double precision for smoother aiming at more extreme sensitivities
    • Reactive aim sensitivity may now be overridden while aiming by inputting manual sensitivity adjustments (disabling it in settings will always use manual override mode)
    • Added a new setting called Enhanced Bullet Prediction that will highlight secondary targets from explosions as well as factor in chain reactions and explosion delay timings. It is disabled by default, but you can try it out if you feel like you need some help!
  • Added unlockables, including a gallery mode on completing the game, a bonus CG, and a secret ending! Note that unlocks are not retroactive, and you'll have to complete the game again as well as any other unlock conditions.
  • Adjusted some of the script, including more ragebaiting at Doki's request
  • Text speed setting now works properly
  • Lots of visual and audio fixes

Stumped?

Don't worry, we've prepared solutions for all the levels in the downloads. Most stages can be solved in multiple ways, not just the one shown! Alternatively, if you would prefer to pretend like you're playing it watch a video, Nexi has recorded a walkthrough video for you.
