Interesting idea. I felt a bit deprived of control... and uncomfortable to judge best actions in situation.
I still think idea could go somewhere interesting.
Nice work.

haha, you could get pretty far by just wading through the masses.

known bugs:this huge spider?

comrad_gremlin 2012-12-17 19:55

Awesome style. Loved your graphics. Fun, light, addictive. Really, one of the best ones i've rated.

Very nice polish, but I really, really can't tell the difference between red and green men, let alone dodge them.

Very nice art. Sound effects quite annoying but music sounds really good.

We need more games with rhyming instructions! More! :D

Amusing, but too easy - if you're lucky, holding down right is enough to win the game.

(One slight bug: jumping on top of red people or green people seems to allow you to repeatedly lose/gain life without them actually disappearing, resulting in almost instant game over/full health. Not sure exactly what's causing that...)

Perhaps you could make a non-install version? Many people (including me) usually don't like to install every game they tets, so they skip those (but since this is my secondly rated game, I made an exception ;-). Nice idea. At first I thought: Just keep walking? But that quickly proved unsuccessful. However, I finished it with both characters. Nice city graphics, but no animation -> :(
Cool audio! Somehow, I also felt a bit like the spider, since those people were SO SMALL, and looked all the same ^^

The installation is a mayor setback of XNA, i've promised myself to start coding withought XNA on january... so this should be the last one XD

Just press the right arrow and finish the game. Humans are too little, so it is impossible to select which to eat or not. Graphics are stylish and atnospheric, but sounds are annoying.

sunnycode 2012-12-17 20:27

both the amount of people and if they harm you or heal you is randomized... so it was really hard to make the game tough without making it immposible

Interesting, especially the graphics and nice music!

filtoid 2012-12-17 20:42

I liked it - music was good. I liked the art style. The goat felt a bit crow-barred in but good fun. Some variation would have added something to the level but a great job :)

My nightmares have become real :|

It's actually kind of interesting that the main character is so big and the people are so small; It seems tempting as a player (especially as a long time gamer) to try and eat every little green human while avoiding every little red one, but in this case, it actually seems more advantageous to simply eyeball whether or not a group of people are constituted primarily of greens and attack those groups, and otherwise move on and jump over groups of humans that contain more bad than good.

There is kind of a funny bug wherein if you "superjump", then immediately turn left, you will superjump to the left and all the people on the screen will slide to the left side of the screen. It isn't gamebreaking, but it was kind of entertaining to think contextualize the bug as if I'd jumped so fast, I'd create a gust of wind that pulled in all the bystanders, haha.

sunnycode 2012-12-21 13:04

sorry but i can't repeat that bug... so i can't really fix it...

I don't know why you got this idea, but making an installer is definitely not necessary to distribute XNA games.
I've made a few XNA games already and I never had to use installers, XNA and ClickOnce are completely unrelated technologies.

sunnycode 2012-12-22 10:55

yes, but ive seen a lot of XNA games that wothout installers didnt work, publishing your XNA game is, from my point of view, the only way to have a XNA game that everyone can play

ceronman 2012-12-23 17:38

Nice idea. And nice graphics. Green and red people where too small and too close to each other to make some sense of control.

sclark39 2012-12-23 18:00

Not a fan of installers.

sunnycode 2012-12-23 22:17

No one is...

fishbrain 2012-12-30 14:21

Nice graphics, had fun... expanding upon this could be fun.

ddionisio 2013-01-04 02:24

Pretty cool art, would be awesome to have animations in that style. I ended up just pressing right the entire time and got very very far before I see my health drop low. Kinda hard to dodge those little red guys.
