wow! My favorite.

My characters keep running off the z-axis and falling out forever. :(

Very well made though!

Excellent game. Sometimes it's too hard to understand how actually I need to play game but it's good still.
Music is fun.

It's really ambitious but the game isn't properly explained in the game. The gameplay itself is.... awkward. The idea about the block changes every 10 seconds is good but the whole getting meat is just weird, especially as it's super hard to grab it. Also when I fall down the meat hole I don't respawn....

Happy that you had some fun playing 'Meat Game', we need to add training levels and play test the current levels (to make them less infuriating).

Judging this game as just a single player is pretty hard to do. The concept is pretty great and the graphics look tasty. The ease of death and really long respawn times detracted a little from it, but I imagine that those problems would go away when you played with more people.

Good stuff!

Arrgh! So rage-inducing! Great job!

Took a long time to load and wasn't pretty sure what to do. If I want to get to the bottom or to just survive.

I kept walking forward, falling off the screen, and that was it. Another 15 second wait for the game to reaload :-/

Sorry, we failed to make the game fun for solo play as the respawn time is 10 seconds, we have made a gameplay video ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=1izQfZZWHho ) that shows the game with multiple players.

Great looking game, but it felt a little clunky to me =/

netgrind 2013-08-28 02:27

I found the meat a little hard to grab onto

broxxar 2013-08-28 02:40

Interesting idea and I like the aesthetic but your use of Unity's physics engine felt a bit kludgy.

sirdorius 2013-08-28 09:45

I love the movement of the characters... so fluid. The gameplay is kind of hard to understand

boneloaf 2013-08-28 10:27

Thanks, the character movement is taken from a physics based multiplayer fantasy game
we are making (see http://indiedb.com/games/mythicbeasts for screenshots and videos).

re: gameplay, we haven't explained the gameplay sufficiently in the statement (we will add an instructional graphic soon).

Basically to score a point in the game you have to grab the meat and fall through the hole at the bottom of the screen, the first player to score seven points wins the game.

Kinda hard to judge as single player, looks a lot of fun with 4 people, though!

reyn 2013-08-29 06:40

The multiplayer looks fun, didnt sound like there was any familial disharmony there :)

jprogman 2013-08-29 06:43

I like the level designs.

jprogman 2013-08-29 19:52

I'll be honest, I'm having difficulty playing the game, even in one player. I very often get myself trapped and then shoved off the board. I don't know how to pick up the meat if I am even allowed to do that. Nice concept, but needs a little more work.

bradleysmith 2013-08-30 01:59

My favourite Jam game by far, so much fun! Rated very highly. :)

diptoman 2013-08-31 17:50

I had a hard time playing this. Most of the time I found myself being pushed towards the screen and falling off, along with the meat. I can't seem to grab the meat easily as well.
I bet this game will be a lot more fun after you polish the controls and mechanics a bit. :)

alwaysinbeta 2013-08-31 18:57

Great music. Nice concept. I like that you made a 4 player game. Incredibly hard!

gritfish 2013-08-31 22:37

I could see myself playing this on a 3ds - I think the grabbing controls need some work though. It was hard sometimes to pick up the meat, instead I'd cling to a wall instead.

ointment 2013-09-04 17:01

Awkward controls.

2014-12-29 06:17
