This STRANGE idea made my game FUN! #gamedev

Wishlist Wanted Shadows: Unchained ➤ https://store.steampowered.com/app/4081590/Card_Corner/ Twitter ➤ https://twitter.com/ConradicalGames I had a huge problem with my indie game, but my friend suggested an awesome idea that completely fixed it! I'm making a roguelike game that takes heavy inspiration from Vampire Survivors, where you play as the monster. The original map was completely open, but because your character has such fast movement, players could just infinitely run away from enemies and camp until the boss spawned. I tried slowing the player down, but that made the game feel sluggish. I tried making the enemies faster, but that made them impossible to avoid. That's when my friend suggested making the arena way smaller! By forcing the player into a tight space, the game became incredibly intense. I even buffed the player's movement by adding a dodge with invincibility frames that uses stamina, turning the game into a fast-paced bullet hell.
