New entities rebalancing (again)

ok so
I have like
6 or 7 UI interference entities (no I’m not joking (clicker delay 1!1 null sorrow malware pulse))
So I reworked Malware and added a few other entities…
So I need your idears for balancing!

Malware rework balancing

Malware
Difficulty rating: 3 out of 5
malware now basically mimics 1x’s entanglement from Four Shake It
except it’s one popup.
Basically, you have to get off the popup before 2.75 seconds or else you get dealt 30 damage, 15 static damage, Bl!ndness I, and slowness III until you click walk, crawl, or sprint again.
If there are any more additional mechanics u want for malware, ples tell!!!

Parasite (Lucy) balancing

parasite (codenamed Lucy C: )
Every 12.5 seconds, (entity randomizer block code) will have a 50% chance of Lucy jumping at you.
Lucy, when appearing, will first give Bl!ndness I and slowness I.
After 5.3 seconds, she will give Bl!ndness II and 25 damage.
To avoid Lucy, you must use the “shear” UI you have in Saferoom 1.

i hope shearing a parasite is allowed in gimkit vro

Patches of Violet balancing

patches of Violet (please I need a better name but my brain is horr1ble)
Patches Of Violets, (just nightshade flowers that are tox1c that pretend to be Violets)
30% chance to spawn 2 patches every room; If you walk on them, you will get Bl!ndness III, Po!son damage (1 damage per 1 second for 10 damage) and take 20 base damage.
ADDITIONAL EFFECT:

Mirage Effect

Mirage:
When player Walkens in the patches, there is a 85% chance for the player to be either:
Set to crawl speed until clicked sprint, walk, or crawl (40% chance)
A random item will be dropped (15% chance)
A mirage of a fake button UI (15% chance)
Shear disabled for 3.5 seconds (15% chance)

Bramble balancing

Bramble (I need a better name)
Has a 50% chance to spawn every 12.5 seconds (block code randomizer I love randomizer block code)
When activate, Brambles will come up and catch you; and immediately after catching you; it will deal 10 damage, inflict Bl!ndness I, and slowness III.
After 2 seconds, It will deal 15 damage, inflict bl!ndness II, and slowness IV.
After 4.5 seconds, it will keep repeating every 1 second to deal 14 damage every 2 seconds, inflict Bl!ndness III, and slowness V. (basically just stops the player 0.00x speed)

Sightser Balancing

Sightser
Difficulty rating: 3.5 out of 5
When active, they will inflict Slowness II and a notif warning.
3 seconds after the notif warning, you will have to not move for 2 seconds.
If moved, it will deal 75 damage, Bl!ndness III for 1.45 seconds, slowness II until crawl/walk/sprint clicked, and a random item will fall out of your item holder.

Aeghis balancing

Aeghis
Diffculty rating: 1.777 out of 5 (get the gambling jok- uhm…? u know it..? yhur…?)
When activated, he will give a pill that can either give:
10 damage
10 regen
Speed III for 2.4 seconds
Slowness III for 2.4 seconds
Item falls
Free bandaid
Free (nerfed) drink
100 cash

what do you mean?
like a 20ish word summary of me game?

ig but like what is entity balancing in general

1 Like

pretty much just make it balanced enough so it’s not too op but not too underpowerful
btw the player’s base speed is 1.10x, 100 base health and 100 shielding and there’s a 15 second timer that if it goes out you oof and can be replenished by pulling a lever/doing generators

okay, okay, lets take a step back.
English is my first language but too many words make me go :face_with_crossed_out_eyes:
so lemme get this straight:
by “balancing entities” you mean by making the bosses not too powerful and not too weak so it’s a perfect balance for the player.
and you said “I need a better name” like 2 or 3 times so you need name ideas.

sooo, that’s basically all your asking for, right?
Also, what is “Ul”, you said it a couple times and I don’t even know what it is…

6 7!

EDIT:

…how does bro know this stuff… are you a stalker (I don’t see that anywhere)…

=O

(that’s a joke btw, sry if this is offensive)

I’m clearly lacking context about what type of game this is.

What I can say is you could definitely get some valuable information on what needs to be rebalanced from just playtesting or asking others to play test and give feedback. Now I’m well aware that you can’t do that here, but the Wix and Discord are some solid options to find people potentially willing to playtest your game.

his game is a doors/pressure/grace themed game.

he got his friends to playtest, and they all oofed.

and for malware whenever she spawns, and you don’t click it in time, maybe disable crawl or sprint or both.
and for patches of violet, maybe you could shear them off?

I remember him posting about it in his 1st rebalancing topic

what if there was a random ahh scenario where the player clicks it 10 times before they even reach room 5 and has to breathtakingly horrifyingly witness themselves getting eaten by 6 brambles with no escape and their eyes are getting bl!nded.

I’m not gonna add a mechanic that ALWAYS has a 100% chance rate to d1e you

Doesn’t bramble just k1ll you? Since 14 damage every second, when does that stop?
