Wow! Audio and graphics A++! Couldn't figure out how to evolve.

_am_ 2012-08-27 16:25

Very nice... but when I died it freaked! I evolved once more and the timer or enemy counter kept going while I was dead. Very weird.

Very nice art style! Couldn't figure out how to evolve either. Perhaps I didn't slap enough boars? :}

Music very nice as well. Has a cool 'arcade' feel to it.

Nice graphics. And there is nothing better then boar slapping.

ramoncb 2012-08-27 18:05

Amazing! Beautiful graphics, nice musics, very good gameplay!

You guys are very professionals and a good example of work in team!

r3d5 2012-08-27 18:58

Very cool Like everyone said, wonderful art. Nice and simple gameplay, I like it!

nostradamon 2012-08-27 19:50

Nice graphics, but you should lock the mouse cursor to avoid the opening of the menu when you right-click!

ahhhh; the purple "pigs" drove me into a corner and i was stuck. like the visual tone of the game very much though. nice and polished.

As the previous posters said, the art and audio are top-notch! I also loved the general concept and the way that you incorporated "evolution" into your game.

My one and only complaint is that the controls felt a bit clunky sometimes. Particularly, the lack of camera control in a 3D game where you are constantly looking around for enemies slowed me down a lot. Limiting movement to four directions in a 3D game felt a bit odd too. I often found myself running downward into rocks that I didn't know were there because my camera was clipping inside of them.

That said, I've worked in Unity before, and remember having trouble with these things too, so I know exactly the sort of limits you're working with here. What you guys did in such a limited timeframe is very, very impressive! Awesome work!

Great work- I loved the rock and ground textures especially. Very impressive for 3 days!

chardish 2012-08-29 20:13

Graphics are great! Gameplay is a bit lacking. Feels very repetitive.

Graphic and Audio are very great! Great job. I couldn't figure out how to evolve either.

codexus 2012-08-30 00:34

I love the character design and hand-painted look of the textures. Great music too! The controls feel a bit unresponsive and while slapping pigs is fun it's a bit repetitive.
A very cool entry!

After my first death I returned to the main menu and started a new game. In that new game I slapped all the boars I could find, but there was still one left, and I think I explored the entire level. I tried using jump, but there wasn't anything to jump onto.

That bug was my only complaint. The game was beautiful, and well animated.

screamrawr 2012-08-30 02:37

The graphics and music were very good. I couldn't ever find the last two boars though. :(

tobiasnl 2012-08-30 15:09

I think the game is a little too slow paced and the gameplay felt a bit forced (could've been faster and smoother), but the graphics made totally up for it. Really the best 3d art I've seen here at Ludum Dare 24. Good job.

imef 2012-08-30 19:27

Oh my! The graphics are just gorgeous!

brieuc 2012-08-30 20:02

Nice graphics! I really enjoy it.

triplevisiongames 2012-08-30 20:48

This looks really nice. When you add more to it I'd look at the boars movement as when they get behind you it's hard to get away from them or turn and hit them without taking damage. Unbelievable work though in 2 days, there's a good polish to this.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-08-30 20:55

This is great!

Seriously, awesome work. The characters are great, animations work, sounds fit, and the work with the textures on the unity-terrain makes me want to experiment with the style.

..which is why the little snags are so infuriating. The 2-3 seonds at the beginning are irritiating. Controls only being explained in a side-menu as wall-o-text works horribly. Having attack on mouse1 is also useless, as the mouse doesn't do anything else. The enemies ganging up on you and glitching out once there are more than 3. The bad level-design just letting 12 monsters gang up on you. The camera-placement beinng weird, as in "static, locked very close to the character, clipping through rocks"

Still, it is good. With a little polish it could be INCREDIBLE. Remove the stupid 3-sec-lock. Put attack on the keyboard. Use the standard Unity-3rd-person-camera, it does wonders :)

Nice graphics!

rosypenguin 2012-08-31 02:46

I reached my second stage of evolution before dying. I think the game has a lot of potential; the characters and environment textures are great! As others have pointed out, the gameplay seems slow. Perhaps make the first stage of evolution go by quicker (kill 5 boars instead of 20) and have the player movement be faster than the boars (so you can outrun them!)?? Just random suggestions. Great job guys!

pixeloaks 2012-08-31 17:18

Thanks for the feedback guys. We are looking into it.

robcozzens 2012-08-31 18:14

Fantastic graphics! I love it!

thewiseguy99 2012-09-06 02:46

Very cool graphics!! Enjoyed the gameplay and music. Couple of bugs but (others have mentioned) but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. Good job!

airdeck 2012-09-13 05:00

Really nice game, textures and style are really well done. I think there needs to be a little more game play other than just sapping, and the slapping animation was a bit slow. But for a game made in 72 hours or less this is really looking good!

marudziik 2012-09-13 11:34

Very good entry. As everyone already said it here, the graphics are awesome and the music is also very good. The gameplay could use some work, but I find it quite entertaining, while the level design could use a little more polish. Overall, this is of course a great game and the minor flaws don't change the experience. Fantastic job for 72 hours!

nseward 2012-09-13 19:49

You are already working on the camera and that was my main problem. Very good. Keep up the good work.

yosh 2012-09-13 22:09

Where the hell is the "Cuteness" rating category?

atraxgames 2012-09-14 13:01

Very nice land textures.

nosfer 2012-09-14 17:22

Top notch gfx and sound/music. Too hard and quite clunky controls.

juaxix 2012-09-14 18:06

Wow, this is a great job! :)
You need to fix the collisions but the game is perfect :)

jedi 2012-09-16 01:16

Graphics: Awesome!
Controls: Less awesome :/

It would have been nice if you spawned more than the required number of boars. It took me minutes to find the last boar on the first level.

pardue 2012-09-17 13:03

The controls seemed to get kinda stuck at times in the second level. The game is great though, nice graphics and sound. I had fun!
