Awesome job you guys! Feels quite fun and polished, and the graphics/sound are just great!

fourthfloorgamesgmail-com 2013-08-27 02:45

Really good! Unexpectedly polished for a 3d game made in a few hours. Sound, visuals, gameplay...all pretty awesome.

teddy 2013-08-27 02:52

Great work :) you guys are beasts! high score of 612 gold.
I actually didn't get the "objective" of collecting gems at first. Making the objective more clear and rewarding them for their score (like dropping all their gems they have from the top of the screen at game over) is all I would change. 5/5!

antidote 2013-08-27 02:56

Thanks Teddy! Yeah I totally agree, objectives (and controls!) need to be made clear in the game, we literally were cramming features into the game until the last 2 minutes, so lots of polish is still needed on that front!

I have a billion ideas for how to improve a bunch of the rooms and make the game balance way better and more exciting, but all that is for post-jam versions I guess :)

lissar 2013-08-27 03:12

Really impressive! I love how smooth and fast it feels, perfect for a game with such a short time limit.

kunonooni 2013-08-27 03:23

What an AMAZING GAME! I had to keep reminding myself this was made in 72 hours! 5 STARS!

deammer 2013-08-27 03:36

That was amazing. Controls are tight, graphics are great and i getting to the end is a lot of fun.

adamharte 2013-08-27 04:08

Can not believe this was done in 72 hours. Nice work guys!

tiagosr 2013-08-27 04:32

Unbelievably polished for just 3 days! It looks and plays awesome =D Great work, mates!

farmergnome 2013-08-27 05:05

Best entry so far, crazy levels of polish

tiagoair 2013-08-27 05:12

You guys managed to deliver an extremely polished game! Great job guys, good mechanics, graphics, sound, I really don't have anything to fault at all in this entry!

szedouu 2013-08-27 07:58

Awesome game, nice graphics and shootin mechanics, love it! and waiting for post-compo version. Goodjob.

rawani 2013-08-27 08:37

Nice game

coreyvacate 2013-08-27 08:51

Great work y'all! Everything played, sounded and overall flowed very well on my playthrough... I had a lot of fun spamming and streaking through the levels.

I made it through on my first run... Excited to go back for more!

designatius 2013-08-27 10:09

Awesome work for a GameJam entry!

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 10:12

A goddamn solid game. Great Indiana Jones vibe with some hectic action. Loved it.

roguenoodle 2013-08-27 11:22

Amazing entry - would love to see this game worked on post-jam :)

davisan 2013-08-27 11:43

Wow, Amazing, nice job!

split82 2013-08-27 11:45

Very nice music and style. Great job! One small problem - the credits button doesn't work in the menu :)

mventurelli 2013-08-27 11:56

Wow this is some serious jam game! I love this, best 3D game in LD so far for me. Not very innovative, but really well-executed. Kudos!

orni 2013-08-27 12:23

great game!
loved it - the graphics are amazing and it's a lot of fun to play

didn't expect anything less from you :D

woodecker 2013-08-27 12:44

Very polished, and very fun!
ps. The credits don't appear on my webplayer (MacOS).

mclogenog 2013-08-27 18:29

This is really impressive work for only a weekend! It's also interesting that shooting costs money (I was thinking about doing something similar for one of my projects), but right now the ratio between money for killing enemies and money lost for shooting seems a little off. Then again, I might just be bad at shooting accurately :P

iiechapman 2013-08-27 20:23

Very well polished, tried and true mechanics, great job!

jason 2013-08-27 20:32

Just wow! Great polish and work guys! So well done.

beardogames 2013-08-27 21:06

Very good looking game, especially given the time constraints! Really well realized setting and the challenge ramps up nicely. Great work!

otus 2013-08-27 21:07

Very nice and polished!
The whole game looks and sounds amazing, controls great too!

Very nice work!

heychinaski 2013-08-27 21:27

Great work. Looks and sounds fantastic and the gameplay is super smooth.

meta87 2013-08-27 22:38

Hell of a job! Really fun, tight controls and sweet graphics. Really enjoyed it :)

nihilocrat 2013-08-28 00:11

Really cool! I like the risk/reward tradeoff from looting levels more thoroughly.

zap 2013-08-28 01:04

Amazing! Feels really satisfying to shoot and when you complete a level.
A tiny bit more explanation would be nice. For example, I had no idea it cost gold to shoot until I read Mclogenog's comment. I guess it's because there's no real punishment for having $0, and no reward for having a lot.

tacograveyard 2013-08-28 02:08

Really fun, excellent audio, and amazing level of polish for 72 hours. Thanks for making this!

teejay5 2013-08-28 03:13

That's some excellent quality for 72 hours! Love me music, gameplay, everything is nice!

ghribacki 2013-08-28 03:27

I don't even need to elaborate a comment here. This game is just too well polished! I wish I could see the credits, though (the game won't react when I click on "Credits").

unusualcadence 2013-08-28 10:25

Sweet, sweet loot. Excellent game, had loads of fun playing this!

tanser 2013-08-28 12:06

Incredible entry guys, just like finished product! Awesome sounds, perfect graphics! For me just the web resolution was a bit off.
Good job again!

recursor 2013-08-28 12:23

VERY nice polish on this one. The graphics , sound and music are great. The gameplay is actually pretty dern fun too. Shooting the various baddies and vases was very enjoyable partly due to the way they would shake and then finally explode into a mass of jewels that splattered everywhere. How many levels are in this game? I played through what I thought was quite a few before I died and I kept seeing different stuff. I couldn't figure out how to get more dynamite. Is there more dynamite available in the levels somewhere or is what you start with all you have? Probably the best I've seen yet. Great job!

bitserum 2013-08-28 13:57

Really awesome entry. One of the best i played so far. Feels really polished and fun to play.

nddrylliog 2013-08-28 16:00

Incredible quality for an LD, as I mentioned in the twitch stream (daniel was in there), I kinda wish the score wasn't linked to shooting, because that seems a little bit punitive.

Otherwise, I got caught up in it immediately, really enjoyable to play, had to play it three times to complete it with a final score of $0.. see previous remark.

Well done!

flyingbear 2013-08-28 18:11

Wow, the production levels on this are insane! Well done

the-jack 2013-08-28 22:11

Someone's been playing Spelunky...

good job.

keithe 2013-08-28 23:07

Awesome Job! Collecting as many coins as possible before running to the exit is a great gameplay loop.

bassarisse 2013-08-29 02:35

Awesome! It doesn't feel a jam game at all, very polished, great job!

zillix 2013-08-29 06:27

fantastically polished, and beautiful models. I'm amused how the goal is to get the antidote, when there are clearly more dangerous things in every room!

rhy3756547 2013-08-30 12:05

Very polished, really enjoyed playing. Excellent work! My only gripe is that I didn't realize that bullets cost money until too late. :P

diptoman 2013-08-30 17:59

Woah, that was fantastic for a jam entry! Extremely polished, and tons of fun!
Awesome work!

georgebroussard 2013-08-31 01:04

Fun game. Great production values. Great effort for 72hrs. Can't ever go wrong with Indian Jones style stuff :)

pixeloaks 2013-08-31 01:57

This is really good guys! So jelly :3

tym0r 2013-08-31 02:51

woah. awsome.

nolann 2013-08-31 03:22

Really amazing game, love the graphics.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-31 04:02

brilliant graphics, great concpet, awesome use of the theme. Loved it I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 compilation video series, if youd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/7EzKbFuvC2A

bneutral 2013-08-31 05:21

Quite impressive for 3 days!

pixeloaks 2013-08-31 05:29

Ive been playing this for a good minute. Would love to see this on the OUYA, or any mobile device.

peace 2013-08-31 08:30

Great :)

colapsydo 2013-08-31 09:11

High replay value with this "bullets cost money" concept.
It makes it an addictive scoring game.

withoutpillow 2013-08-31 09:57

impressive! you've managed to squeeze as much of everything into each room and you still make it feel condensed and seldom overwhelming. the graphics are great, sounds is good too and it's a blast to play. very polished. like a said, impressive!

ratalaika 2013-08-31 10:07

funny game. good job

fluffypillow 2013-08-31 11:29

This is great, well polished and good gameplay. Good job!

rodrigo-robles 2013-08-31 12:04

Great design, graphics, music, sound, and programming. The best game I played on this Ludum Dare.

diogomuller 2013-08-31 16:06

Finished it, it was really... intense. Great game!

onzephyr 2013-08-31 16:24

Fantastic job. loved the style, and speed of play. Perfect control,overall great polish. And I'm just a sucker for top down shooters. Great game.

timtipgames 2013-08-31 16:30

5/5

klianc09 2013-08-31 17:42

Damn, OCD shows again, I just wanted to collect ALL the gems, but it just isn't possible in 10 seconds, but that's okay, because else it wouldn't be a great highscore-based game. Although at the end, it's really difficult to even get to the antidote within the 10 seconds.
Really great graphics and audio. I'm really impressed.

codexus 2013-08-31 22:33

Absolutely amazing! This really feels like a fully finished and polished game. Great graphics, gameplay, everything!

arcturusdeluxe 2013-08-31 23:25

Awesome. Seriously well polished. Definitely the best game I've played in the jam so far. Fantastic work!

sengi 2013-09-01 14:27

Best one at all! Game is great! Good idea, level design. Fantastic character and creatures! Lot of content! Guys you made best game, what i saw here!
Spesial thenks for postmorten post! Lot of interesting and usefull information there!

zedutchgandalf 2013-09-01 20:29

Awesome! Just awesome! :)

tobiasw 2013-09-02 15:14

Thank you very much for the comment on my game! It's a pity you didn't find any friends though - would you be interested in playing a post-compo version of my game? I think I've improved the hot/cold mechanics (and some other stuff) there and I especially want to know whether people that didn't find the friends in the original version can find it there.

Now on to your game, though - I hope it was worth your wait:


Wow, this is great - a perfect example of what you can achieve with a team of dedicated people. Everything fits together.

The gameplay works really well. Shooting vases and enemies, running, planning your route over timed traps and collecting riches until you should really go on - everything feels so smooth. I barely used the dynamite though until frantically right at the end out of pure desperation (and mostly still dying afterwards). I might've used it more often if it recharged or could be picked up - having only 3 of those made me think I should only use them when I really need them, and of course, that time only comes once.

The visual style is awesome. Shiny, clean and cartoony - it perfectly fits the gameplay. Good job at the lighting too! And the jewels - they just look so rewarding. And they FEEL rewarding, which is due to good feedback - and that's because of the great sounds, and not only there. The music is the cherry on the cake, creating a frantic yet enjoyable mood.

Great, great game. Good work, all of you!

pickensincorporated 2013-09-02 18:01

Brilliant, good polishing, all round fantastic-ness.

cosmicadventuresquad 2013-09-02 19:20

Awesome game! Loved the fast paced gameplay. The shooting effects were nice and fun to watch. Nice variety of enemies and stages. Good job!

bloodjohn 2013-09-02 19:45

Nice mini-games.
Awesome job!

eddy93 2013-09-02 19:51

I like the graphics a lot! It looks very neat! mechanics are nice too! Also missed some variation. Good job!

casimps1 2013-09-02 20:09

Wow, super professional and polished product here. Great sound effects, smooth animations, nice difficulty curve, everything is just top-notch. Fantastic job.

My only complaint is that it took me FOREVER to realize why I wasn't collecting any money (each bullet costs money).

gabriel 2013-09-02 22:47

Wonderful game, really loved it! The general aesthetics (sound, graphics and movements) are simply top-notch and could be in any commercial release - for a jam game then, it is completely outstanding! I also enjoyed the controls and general gameplay. Regarding the 10 seconds limit, I found it a little too oppressive for the size of the levels, specially because the overall level of polish and cuteness really makes one spend some time just looking around and exploring... Still, I played a lot of games this LD and this surely is one of the very best I've seen so far! Congratulations, this really is unbelievably good! :D
(is 'unbelievably' even a word?) hahaha

atmospherium 2013-09-03 02:18

Reminds me a lot of the Lego Indiana Jones game. Surprisingly polished all around, gameplay, graphics, and audio all felt really satisfying. A lot of fun. Good work, guys.

almax27 2013-09-03 11:39

Fantastic entry! Had a few framerate issues but past that this is an incredibly well polished and addictively fun game :D
Good job!

danex317 2013-09-03 16:59

Great Job. I just don't understand what the money was for. I didn't beat it though. The comments make it sound like it was just part of the score.

bombjack 2013-09-04 10:17

great game!

paperblurt 2013-09-04 11:29

Fun to see 3D stuff in LD27! Good work and nice idea..

imef 2013-09-04 16:23

Good joob! As everybody says, well polished for a game made in 72h.

ken-ichi 2013-09-04 17:05

Awesome game!

blooperly 2013-09-04 17:39

Very nice! I didn't expect the great amount of enemy variety.

ithildin 2013-09-04 17:52

Amazing artwork. The amount of content you guys managed to put into the game in just 3 days is insane, and it looks incredibly polished.
Also, the game is simple but very fun, and it fits the theme.

All in all, an awesome job. Congratulations!!

pinktreeleaf 2013-09-04 18:27

D: you made this in only 3 days. there is so much content. I'm hella jealous.
beautiful art, fun design,(though simple for too long.) nice sfx

rxi 2013-09-04 19:12

The linux version unfortunately didn't run for some reason -- this is the first unity build that hasn't worked for me! I run the game and it prints the usual stuff to the terminal, at the point where the unity box would usually open the program exits without any messages!

A bit of a shame since I would have liked to try this one.

oldpeculier 2013-09-04 21:10

Definitely one of the better LD27 games. Great job!

mklee 2013-09-04 23:13

Really terrific job! Satisfying feedback when shooting and moving around and really good job on the audio/visual elements of the game. Picking up gems just sounds good. Great stuff, looking forward to seeing this game fleshed out in the future.

superfoonly 2013-09-05 04:14

Really great entry! so much polish!

ihateatmfees 2013-09-05 04:29

Great job! The amount of polish is astounding.

vaelzan 2013-09-05 11:18

Nice one. Not sure if it's a bug but picking up some gems looked like it was actually decreasing my money instead of increasing. Fun game, good graphics and sounds. Found it a little punishing to start from the start again, and also didn't like the knockback on the dead slimes when they were blocking my way entirely. Other than that this seemed really polished and was very nice work for a weekend!

brejlounek 2013-09-05 14:14

Yeah, the reason for collecting antinode is not clear in game, but the game is fun and has nice graphics and sound :) I won!

mironix 2013-09-05 17:11

One of the best games i've seen this jam, thank you!

teamwithoutlegs 2013-09-06 09:43

A very fun and very polish game

ltyrosine 2013-09-07 14:37

Amazing

ointment 2013-09-07 23:20

Whoa, talk about polish.

I was hoping to be able to use gold to buy some extra swag. The rooms get pretty repetitive after a while.

manuq 2013-09-08 05:13

Wow! I'm impressed! This game put me in situation since the very beginning, with the zoom-out to the menu. I love those menus! After that, I knew that I was going ahead a great adventure.

The game is fun, and the details in the prop objects and in the textures is awesome.

infernet89 2013-09-08 11:28

Won! With 0$ score..
The time limit force you to run and dodge enemies, without shooting so much.. I've passed the first 5 level without shooting any single shot.
The visual and sound were pretty awesome, nice work!

p4nurge 2013-09-08 13:09

Superb! Very polished with great controls, visuals and sound. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this.

darkshadow 2013-09-08 21:32

Yeah I escaped with 1$ :D Swear I got more but then I probably lost it all from being hit by things. Fantastic amount of stuff accomplished in the time limit. Difficulty of the rooms scaled perfectly, always felt pressed to the time limit but never actually ran out of time.

ossi 2013-09-10 05:53

Amazing game! Great graphic style and catchy music! The gameplay is really solid and shooting the pots and enemies is really satisfying. It's really challenging in the later levels to keep your money up. Fantastic job!

rodrigomotta 2013-09-10 17:43

Amazing game. Awesome. Really a great job. Very polished. Congrats, man!

zerkruemler 2013-09-10 19:22

Very balanced game with lots of details and fantastic graphics. Everything look very polished. You really did a good job. It took me some time to understand the $ mechanic, thought there will be a shop at some time, but this way it gives also a very interesting mechanic to the game.

sittaman 2013-09-10 19:38

Amazing work. We got professional work over here. Simply great, I'm speechless. Smooth gameplay and polished art. Great music, innovative and original gameplay. I'm already looking to give it the Greenlight on Steam. Awesome job guys!

wally2069 2013-09-11 06:09

Managed to get to the end with a high score of $0

Didn't even realize I could collect money until end screen. Just ran to the end of each room in fear of character's life.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-09-11 07:53

This is great! Love the visuals. Gameplay is punchy. The sounds are great. The msuic fits nicely.

nice work, is what I'm trying to say :)

The credtis-button doesn't work though :(

almightyzentaco 2013-09-12 01:44

Wow, this is one heck of an entry. I can't believe you managed this kind of quality in the time allowed. Great work! Fantastic visuals, sound, and gameplay! One of the best I've played.

mrblade 2013-09-12 05:01

Very nice work! This was my 100th game! (I was saving it for this!) Hah, no but really I loved the graphics, sounds, and overall Mood of the game was very good. The music was nice as well. This game really seemed to fit the theme well and had a great overall feel. I am running 2GBs of RAM, and 2.0GHz processor; some levels ran fine whereas others would drop into the single digits of FPS. I seemed to be found of getting stuck on walls. I could not reliably shoot enemies and found it hard to aim. Keep it up!

darien 2013-09-12 09:34

Good stuff! Not too hard just to get through it, but the added aspect of chasing high scores is a good plus. Only nitpick I have is that I wish movement were aliased to arrow keys also; I'm not very adept at WASD, and since I'm a lefty-mouser I really have to crunch my hands up. Other than that, great!

mekuri 2013-09-12 10:29

Took me a few minutes to realize that bullets cost money O_o
Very nice game, and extremely well polished. Everything in this game is just right, graphics, sounds.. well everything. great job!

netmute 2013-09-12 15:24

Well, that was pretty awesome. More dodging than shooting, though :D

flamecow 2013-09-12 16:44

Really awesome idea and fun game. Near perfect implementation of the theme and the game is very polished.

daanvanyperen 2013-09-12 18:12

Polished, cute style, like how you chose to incorporate the theme. nice and fast!

goodpaul6 2013-09-12 22:08

Amazing. The graphics are awesome, and the mood is really nice. I love the art style, makes it look really polished.

Great Job!

porglezomp 2013-09-14 13:33

I didn't get the point of the money, and there wasn't enough contrast in the art in some areas, but the guns were juicy, and lots of things look really nice.

andreiagmu 2013-09-14 22:42

This game was really fun to play! I felt very tense from start to finish, because of the 10 second time limit on the levels. It was a great use of the jam theme! =D

shockedfrog 2013-09-15 01:21

Fast and fun game, nice style, but needs something to do with the money to stop it just being about running to the door and skipping everything else. :)

ramoncb 2013-09-15 04:01

amazing work! addictive, well polished and very professional! congratulations!

urfoex 2013-09-15 10:42

Nice one.
Needs more dynamite ;-)

toadfrogs 2013-09-16 02:21

That was PERFECT! You guys are amazing! :D

blackbulletiv 2013-09-16 10:21

Wow, definitely the best game I've played thus far, but I suppose that's to be expected. Professional and polished all around. Bravo!

nsadie 2013-09-16 17:59

Excellent entry! Great graphics, fun gameplay and it fits the theme really well!

hardgrafter 2013-09-16 20:43

Brilliant work!

2013-09-16 22:03

First played it two weeks ago, still playing it now, great entry ! Everything feels polished and this is one of the games that make you forget you're playing a game from a jam which seems to be a hard thing to accomplish.
Here is a gameplay video for people who didn't try it yet.
http://youtu.be/_sA9LZZp7Ek

antylum 2013-09-16 22:26

Nice visuals, game has fun to play) My suggestion in improving is that score points could be spent on buying something or adding time.

lokarunith 2013-09-17 00:29

Jaw-dropping execution.
