Great Entry! :D Finally I can play Rampage again. :D

wevel 2015-08-25 00:50

Fun, I like how the trees and debris have physics and get pushed around

move127 2015-08-25 01:06

It looks great and plays well.

razavidn 2015-08-25 01:06

Nice! A really engaging platformer, well done on controller tutorial, sfx, player feedback. Enjoyed it!

occamsrazor 2015-08-25 01:07

Wow, that was awesome! One of the best games I think I've ever played in a LD event! Took me back to playing Rampage on the NES as a kid - only even better!

I think its completely flawless.

nikteddy92 2015-08-25 01:10

That's really nice! well done!

joshua_burr 2015-08-25 01:20

Fun game, I like the art and music too. I encountered a bug after a while where I became unable to move.

benmcnelly 2015-08-25 01:57

Nice! Has some bugs where you get stuck pretty often but I love the artwork and mayhem!

radiolemon 2015-08-25 02:11

Awesome monster smashing game. There would be times when I would get stuck on the roof of a building and then have to restart, but other than that its fun.

cicanci 2015-08-25 02:27

Awesome art! Fun to play!

meat-us 2015-08-25 02:30

Cool game, but omg dat lag when you detroy a big building xD

wavegunner232 2015-08-25 02:35

this game is a masterpiece. the audio is great it is innovative it has the aesthetic and graphics it sounds amazing and with most games this good i haft to say it was to short BUT this has an INFINITY MODE so whats wrong with it its problem is it is too good

andrew-2 2015-08-25 05:10

Mad props to your visuals and music guy.

tuism 2015-08-25 06:46

Great set of stuff happening here, lots of work :) I like the big set of actions and things you can do, it's very satisfying cracking those buildings and everything, lots of debri, juice, etc.

The music gets REALLY bad after a while. Grating. But not a major problem.

The controls were not the best - they felt unresponsive - not entirely broken, but it was hard to get it to do what I want it to do. Not because the monster was slow/sluggish, but the input to output feel wasn't all there.

Dunno about it being called Eye in the Sky, I get that you're a monster with a big eye, and you're in the sky, but that seems very superfluous, especially when tied to a term with pre-established meaning :)

RAMMMPAGGGGE :D

Graphical theme is great, sounds work well.

The gameplay feels a bit too stiff, though, and the charge meter feels "un-fun". Knocking buildings down with giant lasers is a lot of fun, punching buildings while unable to shoot lasers is less fun. We needs more fun. Give us more fun. More lasers.

wooltech 2015-08-25 12:12

Fun Game!

dibasis 2015-08-25 12:34

Wonderful game :D

nidzakornjaca 2015-08-25 15:08

Really good art, music and concept. Player feedback was satisfying, really enjoyed seeing those buildings crumble!
Full of bugs though - try firing the laser while jumping. Also got magically stuck in the ground after a jump and couln't move. The controls could've been a bit more responsive.

redzero 2015-08-25 16:53

Nice game! Great art.

granat 2015-08-25 17:34

Really nice! The music was great and there was a lot of well made sprites.
For some reason the character stopped responding to input after a while. I tried restarting a couple of times, but it kept happening. Anyway, great game. I really enjoyed playing it.

mrmordem 2015-08-25 17:48

Fun game and really cool graphics, love the NES like music as well, and its a nice touch to be able to climb the buildings

guoboism 2015-08-25 22:40

Great! Very polished game. I loved destroy the building! Hard work on the graphics and music.

richardjs 2015-08-25 23:22

Great music and art. Made me feel like I was playing one of the old Mega Man games. I laughed at some of the little details, like the top hat and the mustache flapping in the wind as you fell. Not to mention the rolling trees and sky people running for their lives.

djfariel 2015-08-26 00:39

Just want to say thank you everyone for the amazing feedback thus far. You're the best. :)

Also, at some point I managed to delete the player's laser's animation. I have it fixed, but I'm not going to post a new build unless I get more fixes to release.

secularbaron 2015-08-26 02:46

Awesome Rampage like game.

elemel 2015-08-26 09:01

Really liked your game!

Possible improvements:

- I missed being able to dodge. Dodge and fire laser would be a cool move. Also, smash could be initiated with dodge + punch, reducing the number of controls.
- It's not possibly to smash or fire laser while jumping. Jumping smash would be cool.

brainfreezeman 2015-08-26 13:07

Charming 2D-platformer of destruction, hehe.
Great pixel art and music!

bitdecaygames 2015-08-26 15:12

Nice! That was a great throwback to Rampage. I got stuck though when I jumped onto a building and used my laser to destroy it.

soulgame 2015-08-26 15:40

Hey there. Pretty cool stuff you have, I'm impressed you had the time to create two game modes. Nice and consistent arts and nice retro music. Regarding gameplay, the animations are okay and the controls seemed right at first, nice climbing system! But I ended up getting a bit frustrated by the jump and overall controls of my monster. I died a couples of times for no apparent reasons (I was frozen in the air and fall to my death!). Sorry if I misunderstood something. You made a cool work, I just wish the handling could be smoother.

Also, thanks for your nice comment on DRUMSTER! I just wanted to mention that the theme is actually at the heart of the game concept, but only revealed on part 3 (metal song) which was probably a bad design choice considering nobody actually reaches it... If you wanna have a look, we have a link to a youtube video on our game's page.

aun 2015-08-26 16:00

Nice game. I loved to destroy buildings :)

crazyminnowstudio 2015-08-26 16:09

Good fun! Like scaling the walls and ground pounding! ;)

serch 2015-08-26 19:06

Great game the art is really good the music is nice, my player get stuck but I enjoy playing this game

randoman 2015-08-26 21:19

Pretty nice game! I like the animations and sound effects!

glerikud 2015-08-26 21:45

Great looking game with the yellow buildings it has a kinda middle-eastern wibe. The mechanics work great too, King-Konging on buildings, but also destroying them is fun.
Only problems I personally have with it is 1: I don't like and am not very good at platformers :), and 2 the middle mouse button didn't work for me.
It's also fantastically polished in three days! Grats

nihilaleph 2015-08-26 23:39

Sorry to bother you (I wish I could PM...), but I tried to fix the physics simulation slo-mo bug and the flashlight hitbox in my game! Would you like to try it again?

PS: I will rate your game as soon as can I play it xp

irock 2015-08-27 00:13

Very cool. I think this would be much more fun if the monster were more responsive and fleet-footed. His movement is pretty stiff at the moment, which might be because he's supposed to be a big monster, but I think it took away from my enjoyment a bit.

Nonetheless, this was a cool entry. I ran into the movement freeze bug, but you guys fixed that in the post-competition version it seems.

dosmaen 2015-08-27 02:10

Very fun game with a lot of polish that does not feel like it was made with any time constraints in place. Very talented creators here!

xvw 2015-08-27 04:24

Nice graphics and audio design! I love the monster's pose (and I understand quickly the correlation with the theme :P) but the gameplay is a little bit hard (maybe because of the keybinding). Thanks for your game !

jmaggard62 2015-08-27 04:34

Man I loved Rampage as a kid, this really took me back :) Good job. I did get stuck sometimes where all I could do was shoot my laser and couldn't move, I think it happened when I tried to punch and slam at the same time in the air.

druid 2015-08-27 14:20

Wow! Fantasy version of rampage! :D Pretty fun entry!

mathmadlen 2015-08-28 02:07

Looks really cool and it's fun to play, good job!

ewchap 2015-08-28 02:12

Great fun. Art and game-play were wonderful. Got a great Rampage vibe from it.

derr 2015-08-28 14:02

Fun game! If you made it just a tad faster the carnage would be much better. I enjoyed smashing up the buildings.

nihilaleph 2015-08-28 22:31

Great game! Loved the art and the audio! The controller was a bit stiff and buggy (after landing sometimes I got stuck on the ground, I was able to shoot lasers though). Other than that It was awesome!
Bonus points for those little guys that shoot but did no damage xp

dat_not_my_game 2015-08-29 12:20

Nice art and music!

karai17 2015-08-30 03:28

Controls were a bit awkward (and no left handed jump?) but otherwise a fun little game.

azureknight808 2015-08-30 04:16

I tried every button and couldn't figure out how to move the guy. Nice graphics though.

jupiter_hadley 2015-08-31 17:57

Cool graphics, sucks that you get stuck so easily. I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/mbmK1PaRvAU

lukezaz 2015-09-01 22:19

A few glitches here and there, but otherwise a very well made and fun to play game!

arzi 2015-09-05 08:25

Fun game! But was it possible to destroy those towers at all?

rodobodolfo 2015-09-05 09:13

Awesome!

The whole time I was playing I was thinking why didn't they ever release a platforming Rampage game. This has the potential to be way better than Rampage.

The art style is lovely as is the audio, very evocative, took me back to my childhood.

I felt the controls were a bit clunky but it's a jam, you now have plenty of time to refine it all. I'm not keen on the name either. When I was on the title screen I thought I was about to play an RPG. Minor quibbles though, you guys have done a fantastic job! 5/5

drauthius 2015-09-06 07:20

Great game! Nice level of polish.

manuelgf 2015-09-06 19:16

Has some bugs (I got stuck on a three tower building) but it is amazing!! Good job!!

philomory 2015-09-06 21:38

Pretty sweet! I especially liked the graphics and audio, but the gameplay was nice as well. Felt like maybe it could have used a few power-ups or some similar element, though.

bombjack 2015-09-08 19:04

too many action keys make the game difficult to play. The art and soundtrack are very nice.

crucknuk 2015-09-10 08:45

Well done! :) it reminds me of rampage if you know that game? where you go up to the buildings and smash windows?
i was impressed by the particles and the art style, really well done, i swore i could play that on megadrive sometimes! :D
well done!
