Fun Game! Keep up the good work!

micdoodle8 2015-08-24 16:18

Very fun, great entry :)

Lovely art style. I wished the city was a little bigger though, you run out of buildings way to quickly :)

Some technical notes:
- On a xbox 360 controller the button mapping don't match the instructions.
- The web build gave me an error. (firefox on win 10)

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-24 16:38

@KingGames thanks!

@micdoodle8 thank you!

@Arnage thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the keybindings right away. Unfortunately, the Firefox issue is related to the Unity JS compile code. I'm looking for a resolution anyway.

The dinosaurs are sooo cute!
I like the gameplay, with some more elements it could be a really cool multiplayer game that i would play with my friends. :)

iossif 2015-08-24 16:44

i have no idea how to control the game. it starts and at one time the players begin to run but i cannot control anything. (mac version)

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-24 16:47

@Kaev Great to hear. We are considering taking it further after the jam.

@iossif... on keyboard press enter, on controller press start. Sorry I should have been more clear about that.

great graphics and fun concept. my biggest criticism is that the controls feel a bit too light and floaty for brick smashin' monsters, but great effort nonetheless!

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-24 17:11

@architect404 Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into tweaking those settings, or adding in some customization in future editions of the game. Thanks for playing!

Would have been nice to have a display for the keyboard controls as well.

Otherwise, very cutesy as advertised. The music and effects are very simplistic, but they match the theme well enough. Overall from a presentation standpoint this is very well done.

The movement unfortunately feels bogged-down and with the tiny playfield it is quite a bit too constrained and awkward to roam around. Sometimes physics things happen while I have no idea what caused them, which can be pretty confusing.

I could see this becoming a very fun little party game to play with friends if it were made to be just a lot quicker, requiring more swift reactions and movement to compete in thrashing the buildings.

kaitokidi 2015-08-24 17:16

Nice, but should have more time between the attacks, and maybe different levels and difficulties.
Great job anyway : )

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-24 17:33

@Shinmera - Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely consider these issues in future versions. Sorry about the physics confusion.

@kaitokidi - We will tune the attacks, and include far more levels and gametypes in the future (deathmatch, co-op, etc).

iossif 2015-08-24 18:56

after i found out how i start the game, i really enjoyed it. lovely setting.

ulasbilgen 2015-08-24 19:46

Great game :) I think you really need to continue working on it, post jam. The controls are a bit light as mentioned above, but I guess that's normal for a 72 hour game :)
Also maybe you can add a silhouette of the monsters, when they're behind or inside the building, I think it should be very subtle, but can increase the gameplay.

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-24 21:19

@iossif thanks for coming back and playing it again. I'm uploading a newer version currently that will include controls, and accurately display them for controller vs. keyboard.

@ulasbilgen Thanks so much for the feedback. I've taken your advice and the next version will include "hidden" silhouettes for unseen monsters.

Cute little game, looks great! Didn't work with my xbox controller though. The keyboard controls didn't feel very reactive.

karai17 2015-08-25 03:12

Great job! Please fix the controller controls ;) On an Xbox controller, "A" is mapped to pause, "B" is jump, and "Y" is attack.

grhyll 2015-08-25 10:40

Mmmh not totally sure about this :/ Xbox controller seemed to control the same monster as keyboard :/

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-25 12:34

@Grhyll Were you trying to play 2 player w/ 1 keyboard and 1 on gamepad? The game currently only supports more than 1 player if EACH has their own gamepad. We'll look into changing this in future versions.

really love the happy visuals and music. has a very retro feel to it. and I love playing a new Rampage like game. it was very difficult to tell if or what I was controlling, but eventually I took the time to read the instructions screen and found mouse and keyboard worked for me and I even won a round. gamepad didn't seem to work properly if at all. cool game. nicely done. — Drew Van Camp

Great! I wish it had multiple stages. Very cute and fun party game.

bneutral 2015-08-27 09:31

So cute~

nowandstudios 2015-08-27 13:50

Love dinosaurs! So cute, have you thought about expanding the game?

jofra 2015-08-27 13:57

cool game! It was a little hard at the beginning to understand wich one was i maybe a little light effect to make it more visible.
The graphics were very cool.

This is adorable, love the little dinosaurs and the chaos they cause. The music is also pleasantly fitting. All in all has some great potential as a "party game".

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-27 16:58

@NoWandStudios Yes. I'm currently working up some concept art for more monsters, extra levels, etc.

theziggy 2015-08-27 17:53

Very fun game with great graphics and mood! Would love to see a post-compo version with more levels/worlds to play on.

grywhttl 2015-08-28 01:45

Lovely little game, great work!

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-03 14:38

Cool game, though I had some issues skipping through the controls page... I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/De5lc4U-4hg

slothmachine 2015-09-09 20:28

Cute sounds and graphics :)

kai20 2015-09-10 15:26

nice graphics and idea

As a one-player game, this game wasn't particularly challenging against the CPUs. Basically felt like Pac-man with ghosts that simply teleports you back to the last checkpoint without taking away a life. The music was a bit repetitive as well.

For some reason, when I played, there were no shadows, so jumps were hard to tell. Additionally, it was hard to tell the range that the fire action had. Without the shadows, it was hard to tell whether the fire action did anything, even when it hit a character and knocked them off the screen.

Incidentally, it was really confusing in the beginning when all the CPU takes over. I wasn't expecting for the game to start before I hit the enter key.

kerdelos 2015-09-11 20:25

Really nice looking. There should be more explosion or another objective than just eating bricks. By the way the pause effect is awesome.
