unity loading error

vividreality 2014-04-29 17:12

The graphics are nice but I found it quite hard to play because the controls we hard to master.

brodenino 2014-04-29 17:21

I'm also getting the unity loading error. It says "Failed to download data file". It doesn't say what file though :\

maek 2014-04-29 17:21

Download failed :(

bubuiic 2014-04-29 17:24

Very nice graphics, but the controls were difficult.

hoqjed 2014-04-29 17:27

I failed to load twice, with it saying "download error, please retry". Your guys unity file must be pretty big, as it's taking minutes for me to download it.

xrxr 2014-04-29 17:36

unity loading error here too

myrddinsowl 2014-04-29 17:46

Player takes a looong time to load. Is it set to be streamed? If you change it to streamed you many want to add the programming to make sure the next level is downloaded before it advances

mollymus 2014-04-29 17:49

Wow. Beautiful game! Probably the most visually pleasing game I have rated so far!=) I wish I didn't have to start all the way over when I died though:(

wilpel1234 2014-04-29 17:55

i love the grphics but i need to refresh the page every time i die :/

bonedaddy 2014-04-29 18:18

"Bad file length."

Didn't load for me either :'( You should include source

garrickwinter 2014-04-29 18:38

Also getting a Unity loading error. Looks nice in the screenshots, though! Hopefully you get it working better soon!

gamertaters 2014-04-29 18:41

:( not working

messthem 2014-04-29 23:22

Now it should work!

stenol 2014-04-30 00:27

Very nice graphics. Good little game in general. Good work :)

lemmingsurvivor 2014-04-30 00:27

Attacks did not work on the second fairy-thing. I got a game-over, and when I restarted the character was unable to move (the move animations worked, but the character itself remained in place.)

Guess I'm gonna wait for an update before rating.

switchbreak 2014-04-30 00:49

Really cool! I wasn't able to finish it, but I love the look of the art. The colors and the backgrounds are amazing. It could definitely use some more lenient checkpointing for how hard it is, and some sound.

gene-z 2014-04-30 01:29

Very Nice Graphics

lajos 2014-04-30 01:32

Unity loading error. The screenshot looks awesome, really wanted to play it!

crazi456 2014-04-30 01:48

Evil fairies :( Nice visuals, I wasn't able to hear any sounds if there were any. Great work overall!

coinflipgames 2014-04-30 01:51

Awesome graphics. The gameover screen really cracked me up.

voider 2014-04-30 01:52

Unity Error :S I'll go back later to see if I can play it.
Screenshot looks really good, I can say lot of time spent on graphics ;). Too long loading time also

hyperbox 2014-04-30 01:53

Very vivid visuals.

andrewshouldice 2014-04-30 02:03

I enjoyed the intro text quite a bit. Looking forward to some music!

trueyomic 2014-04-30 02:04

Very fluffy graphics. The controls are what made me unable to have patience to finish it though. With the way my hands were positioned it would have felt more natural to use the space bar to jump.

petey123567 2014-04-30 02:06

Fun and well put together, but the controls and character movement feels a bit loose.

mintarcade 2014-04-30 02:09

Hard to play, although graphics are very nice.

asotelo94 2014-04-30 02:11

No audio? Liked the graphics, except you could improve the GUI. Nice little game.

eerongal 2014-04-30 02:11

It was a little bit hard to control your character, controls need to be tightened up some.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-30 02:11

Sweet graphics! Great job. It'd be way more fun with a gamepad. I couldn't get the hang of the controls.

halbernacht 2014-04-30 03:45

Very nice Lorax vibe with the story and the visuals. Unfortunately my attacks had no effect on the buff fairies, so I couldn't get very far. Also there's a weird bug where if I start the game over after I lose I'm stuck at the very first spawn point unable to move.

terraco 2014-04-30 03:57

Looked nice, hard to control though

therrato 2014-04-30 09:28

Nice looking game, but really missed the music and the controlls also i would make the jumps a bit easier in the beginning

teamflare 2014-04-30 10:47

Awesome how much love you put in your story and world design. This hairy creatures are just adorable. I myself sucked at jumping so I did not get very far^^ Would have loved to see the evil creature. Cool entry!

lyje 2014-04-30 11:22

awesome vivid art style and interesting back story. Needs audio and my character was unable to move after the second load.

sparrow 2014-04-30 12:12

Good game with a bit awkwardness. It seems enemy hitboxes are too big. It was a bit confusing on what you could and could not stand. The visuals look very nice and the atmosphere of the game would be wonderful with a bit of sound and music.

techblogogy 2014-04-30 16:40

Pretty good art man

mman 2014-04-30 19:02

Very reminiscent of original Ray-man games, not really seeing the theme though, I did like the visuals but it was hard to tell what was a platform and what wasn't.
Also the lack of audio is a shame.

lazyparia 2014-04-30 19:52

Strange, it's working in my firefox ... Graphics are cool, but i'm not shute to see the relation with de theme ^^

mrshoestore 2014-05-01 00:01

Controls were a bit difficult and sound would have been nice, hope you add it.

dreii 2014-05-01 06:45

Failed to start :(

lemmingsurvivor 2014-05-01 07:31

Works much better now! Thanks!

At times it feels like the camera might be a bit too zoomed-in (last jump before the boss was pretty much a leap of faith), but overall it was fairly intuitive.

Liked the super attack system. Useful, but not overpowered.

Visuals are excellent. With a decent soundtrack, it would make for a great atmosphere. Great idea pushing the "fuzzy" style of the character design to the flora; makes the world feel organic.

Good work!

jacob-peltola 2014-05-01 09:52

graphics and controls were really nice, I liked how fairies were portrayed too

degtyarev 2014-05-01 16:40

Graphics is amazing!

hadesfury 2014-05-01 19:20

Great physic ! And it's cute !

eteeski 2014-05-01 19:58

I love the artwork!

teampurpledolphins 2014-05-01 21:18

I liked the graphical style however you may want to try and decrease the contrast and slightly lighten the parts of objects you don't collide with to make it clear to the player what they can jump on to.

javifugitivo 2014-05-01 22:02

Nice graphics! ;)

phocker 2014-05-02 05:10

not sure how the theme fits in but it is a good game - it is crying out for cute sounds tho - and the controls need some work to - incredible level work - great effort

marsbar 2014-05-02 07:05

Fun little game, the art style is good and fairly humorous. sadly I'm not sure how this matches with the theme?
If you shrink the collision on the enemies a bit you'd have a way more fun game. Also I didn't hear any audio which was upsetting because I had high hopes for the audio :(

atombrot 2014-05-02 12:28

Very nice. Reminds me of the old lion king or aladin jump and run games. Made it to the boss, but then did not find out how to kill or event hurt him.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-03 13:42

Nice physics and level design but controls needs some polishing, they dont feel natural. Also I dont see the relation with the theme...

ninjascript 2014-05-03 14:03

Incredible art!, Very challenging because the controls feel a little floaty.

petrocket 2014-05-03 17:10

really fun! Just kind hard? But maybe that's a good thing. Great job!

davidb 2014-05-04 12:18

hard to control the avatar, jump+gravity+ non flat platform => fall

jaj 2014-05-04 12:39

Really nice look to this game! Collisions and controls were a bit awkward.

invisiblewonder 2014-05-04 17:10

The art is colorful and pleasing. Jumping is tricky, but manageable. However combat is way too hard when it costs a restart. The enemies need anticipation animations before attacking to give you time to react.

If everyone is a producer... is anyone a producer?

hyouko 2014-05-04 23:37

Can't seem to get this to run - nothing responds on the title screen after the Unity Player finishes loading. Sad, as this looks like it could be fun.

thorig 2014-05-05 12:25

A bit hard to play and the text is not readable. A dark background could help to make the text better readable. The platforms are slippery which makes the jumps really hard. Still a nice entry, because making a platform game is a bit hard in Unity.

zerkruemler 2014-05-05 18:30

So much story in front of the game. I would rather play than read through all this text.
The control is very difficult to master.
Nice graphics, but i don't see the connection to the theme. Music and sounds are definetly missing...

dustoutgames 2014-05-06 03:18

Cute game. The controls feel like they need a little more refining, and some more audio would be nice, but the graphics are charming, and well done, and the levels are nicely designed.

jsmars 2014-05-07 08:22

Really wierd but a nice game, good job! :)

ryan-up-in-here 2014-05-07 16:30

It looks good but it's a little hard to play. I kept landing right by those big dudes and dying instantly. Awesome trees though.

lucidlarva 2014-05-08 01:46

I got the unity loading error but then refreshed and it worked. Nice graphics, pretty fun.

romandtom 2014-05-09 02:49

Wonderful graphics
I reached the boss and died hehe :p

udo 2014-05-12 21:05

OMG, everything has hair, the trees have hair - those graphics are simply amazing. What did you use to draw all this?

jujule 2014-05-13 21:01

A nice effort on the graphics. Controls were alright with me except for one thing: I may be wrong but I believe you use Input.GetKeyDown("a"), etc, for direction input. The problem with this approach is that you hardcode inout keys and not everybody has a qwerty keyboard. I believe you should use Input.GetAxis("horizontal"), etc, as it alows people with other keyboard layouts to play properly.

aelita1992 2014-05-15 10:24

Nice graphics, the controld would be better, the slide effect for the character makes it difficult to 'feel' the controls.

make-a-game 2014-05-15 23:20

Woah those hairy things look trippy!

plasterphantom 2014-05-16 14:57

Not sure about the theme, enemies were a bit weird imo. Couldn't really understand how to kill them with my normal attack seeing I could never cast it when near an enemy. Graphics were okay, just a lot of ugly edges.

badpaul34 2014-05-17 11:09

Miss the music but the graphics are really cool! Nice textures and environment with the colors and background ;) Keep going!

wademcgillis 2014-05-17 20:06

I keep getting "bad file length"

hyouko 2014-05-20 00:31

A very impressive amount (and quality) of art in this one! I found it rather challenging - couldn't find a way to reliably get past the normal enemies. Also, it seems odd that you apparently can't climb the rope ladder early in the level - was that just not implemented?
