Had a bit of trouble playing it but I really love the visual effects etc

7hesama 2014-04-29 18:27

Thanks for playing EdibleToaster, was it a problem with the controls or some kind of bug?

bushmango3 2014-04-30 01:05

my son really likes it

Game was interesting, overall the graphics, while simplistic were actually somewhat nice and smooth to the eye. The interface was clean and easy to understand. Not bad.

I did not manage to use my sword so I just laid mines all around. I had some trouble to keep my score above 0 this way :p

Can't play windows games, any chance we could get a web version?

7hesama 2014-04-30 21:11

Bushmango: glad to hear it!
MunkeeBacon: Thanks. Happy to hear graphics didn't grate.
tuxxilla: Yeah, I made some mistakes with the combat system. I'm still working on it and it's improving.
jomomomo: Sadly can't on the web version; it's made in XNA which can't be run in browser. :/

I didn't find a link to the theme.

mimic 2014-04-30 22:14

Hm, couldn't get it to run. I'm on Win7 64bit if that helps at all.

actionremix 2014-04-30 22:16

You made a game! :)

7hesama 2014-04-30 22:21

pumpkin: I was hoping to have a vague plot that would tie into the theme, ran out of time.
mimic: Thanks for trying, it's probably because you don't have the XNA redistributable but I'm not entirely sure how that works. I'll edit in a warning though.
Makai: I sure did and I couldn't be more proud! *^v^*

What are katana and cannon?

mjrevel 2014-04-30 23:00

Couldn't get to run. Same setup as the other guy/girl Win7 64-bit

binary_girl 2014-05-01 00:00

nothing happens when i launch it for some reason.. win8.1 64bit

binary_girl 2014-05-01 00:11

ah it was the XNA i didnt install.. should of read it ;p anyways i found it quite hard to do anything ..constantly dying ..quite like the gfx tho..good job :)

Got a score of 97 by surrounding myself with the dots. I was a little confused by the controls (not the controls themselves, but more specifically what the weapons were doing). I had a cannon and a katana, but all that seemed to happen was I would drop little dots that acted like land mines.

Now that said, you did get a working game made, which is an awesome achievement, and perhaps just some terminology changes in the game would have made this make a bit more sense (which you did kinda address in the description). It's also really cool that you put the whole thing together from scratch rather than use an engine or a lot of prebuilt stuff.

7hesama 2014-05-01 18:12

Makai: The weapons, release space to charge with your Katana, hold space to charge up your cannon and then you use that till you run out of power. It's confusing, I know.

mjrevel: Sorry about that :/

howieV: Hey thanks for installing it just for me. It is pretty hard, glad you liked the graphics though.

dalbinblue: Yeah, I didn't mean to make the cannon/mines the only viable option but that's how it turned out... anyways, thanks, hopefully the post-compo version will be better.

jacob-peltola 2014-05-02 16:11

neat

random-abductions 2014-05-02 20:25

The visual style is cool, however, my WASD doesn't work for some reason. I can't walk.

Spotline 2014-05-05 11:41

Controls were really difficult and the enemies very fast. I liked the graphics and the feeling though. With a bit tuning it could be very fun ! (I didn't understand the link with the theme at all)

dreii 2014-05-08 04:33

Im not sure what Im supposed to do, I press space and the camera moves up then goes down again and the names below say error...?

officialcodenmore 2014-05-19 23:17

Interesting, neat game!
