Very sweet game! Awesome crisp art, smooth animation. Nice gameplay. Great implementation of both themes, Great entry.
So far, this is one of the best games I have played in the ludum dare, the game is beautiful, the graphics are breath-taking and the audio really adds to the mood.
This game is just so solid from the bottom to the top, a 10 in my book.
Thank you for this amazing game!
Also my high-score is: 12906
With such really great graphic and music,
this game gives good feel.
Now that is pleasing. I'd love to make this kind of games when I'm dried :D
Congrats, the game feels really good to play! Controls are crisp and the whole experience is really polished. One of my favorites so far! Difficulty curves nicely too.
This turned out so great. Well done! The circus is already playing it. ^_^
That was cool. Nice idea. Fun to play.
Nice graphics and fun.
A great looking game, and very well polished. Fun to play.
(I'm really curious how you made the bean stalk in Unity!)
I loved it. Very well polish game and nice graphics.
Good job! :)
Heaps of fun, and nice graphics, would make a wonderful mobile game
Really cool game.
I like the music BTW, it fits perfectly, even though it hasn't been part of the jam...
I really wonder whether the beanstalk is growing algorithmically, or the positions are rather fixed.
Such a smooth experience... Great design in all aspects, I very much enjoyed running Pete up the bean stalk...
Amazing art, music, and idea!
Awesome game all around. Congratulations!
The graphics look quite refined, the game is fun and i like the way it goes on forever.
Yep, very solid game.
So sweet and funny game!! Graphics and mood also perfect!!
This game is much fun! The music's great too, upbeat and exciting, perfect for the way it plays. The graphics are beautiful and polished, the gameplay is smooth, my mind is blown by it all. I have no idea how you'd begin to program that, I still have a lot to learn...
Ah but anyway, this was fantastic. My only complaint is that as it gets faster, it becomes -almost- impossible to grab the flowers due to the delay between teleporting to a side and then jumping. You pretty much need to just be lucky enough to have a flower heading towards you on the same side of the plant (though this did happen).
Overall I love this game, and I see why Modoc73 recommended it. Great job!
Nice style, classic gameplay. Quite addictive. I haven't see a way to get extra lives. Is it possible. Congrats anyway!
Thanks a lot guys for all your awesome feedback, i'm super glad to hear that you guys are enjoying it, means a lot!
@Jace239 yeah it does get a bit too hard to catch the flowers. Perhaps pete would have to jump quicker over time to compensate for that or make them spawn a bit sooner. I might have to experiment with that!
@ajopart no extra lives unfortunately heh
To people who were interested about the "tech" behind it:
The beanstalk itself is a procedural generated mesh and follows an invisible target that moves at random intervals. The thorns and flowers spawn on the side of the stalk at random locations and intervals as well, so that every run is different from the previous.
Awesome i loved it :) best ld-34 entry i have seen till now simple yet addictive :) and music amazing man. Good Job
I think this game uses both themes perfectly. Amazing work! I know you didn't make the audio, but it fits nicely as well, so good job choosing it. Anyway, the art is awesome, the gameplay feels nice (teleporting is super rewarding). I also think this would be a great game for mobile or built further for sites such as Kongregate. Good luck! :)
Really cool take on the infinite runner genre.
Wow ! That is a good game ! I love the art, the music, the implementation of the themes, the simplicity of the gameplay. A massive WELL DONE !
One of my favorite games from this jam so far. I love the music, feel, visuals, tight controls and replay value. Thanks again for this great entry I had a lot of fun.
I loved this one. I am always amazed at what people can do programaticaly in this compo and I must say this game is one of those that grabbed my attention.
Very well done.
770m, and took a while before I realised you could collect the flowers. Total score 9640. I like it! Some of the flower placement was a bit unfair, but the difficulty scaled nicely and it was well presented. Reminds me of the recent Rayman games.
Awesome game. Love the art style, the animation of the plant growing is excellent. Definitely the best 'endless runner' style game I've seen so far.
I was told by someone who rated my game that it reminded them of your entry, and I will say yours is much more polished!
Awesome job! Very polished and perfect for the theme. Would make an excellent (and fairly easy) port to mobile and pretty much needs no changes to be released. Really awesome game!
i love this, the Japanese rose blossom art style, the simple colours the playful music and the quick and easy controls that work really well. my only fault is that you made it and not me god damn you you beautiful bastards
This game is so cute and pretty and amazing. I love the graphics and the music! This is my favorite game so far
This is brilliant! Exhilarating, satisfying, and super polished. I played a few other game with a similar endless running side switch mechanic but this is by far the best in terms of game design (which is what I value ;) )
Amazing game! The pacing is good, the art and UI look neat and tidy. The transitions are really smooth.
I catch myself so often not reading the instructions, my first two runs I didn't know that I could catch the flowers... It is really cool way of risk and reward. "Do I want to jump now and be unable to teleport to the other side if a thorn grows near?"
I like the way your Game Over screen comes up in parts and pops up with sound effects, feels good :)
A very well-polished game and quite fun too. I love the growing mechanic mixed in with the infinite runner style game-play. Excellent work!
This is beautiful! really enjoyed this, can see myself playing it on my phone or something. well done!
I think I'd like to see the character sprite fit in with the rest of the graphics and maybe make the teleport a little more polished looking, but only in order to bring those aspects up to speed with the rest of the game's polish!
I'd really like to know how you make the bean sprout grow effect with unity, it looks amazing. Very good job.
I like this =)
Simple and fun.
You can make tons of cash with this on the apple store
Very addictive and fun. Super impressive!
This fits perfectly for a mobile game, I hope you improve it and release on Android/iOS.
Very nice controls, mechanics and graphics.
Really great game.
Smooth controls, fitting graphics and sound.
Not much more to say I guess.
Well done.
That is really fun! Love how simple and responsive it is plus the music really sets the tone. Well done! :)
The graphics and animations are so cute, really nice polished game, guys! It took me a while to figure out why I had to jump.
When you made a mobile version tell me! =D
Simple, addictive, perfect!
If you want to continue here are some ideas:
- make the speed built up smoothely, you could really feel "steps"
- slow down again on hit (in addition to short immunity)
- as it gets harder you might add thorns on both sides but one is short enough to force the player to jump over it to survive
You are in today's episode of Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out at - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0rB_UjhQBc
Awesome game, man! Gamplay looks innovative and pretty fun! Visuals good to =) Nice work!
Pretty cool game! I liked the growing effect.
Graphics were really nice. I don't really have anything bad to say about it. Maybe more enemies? Would make for a good mobile game I think. Good job!
Very clever idea for level generation. Haven't seen something quite like it before.
I love penguins. Was very fun to play, and I liked the increased speed the further the game progressed.
Very fun and beautiful!
Very good avoiding game ! Gameplay and design are awesome ! Very well done !
Such a well executed and innovative concept! You made use of the theme incredibly well. I hope this one reaches the top, it deserves it. Well done! No idea how your programmed this one.
very funny game! well done!
Nice. :)
I've seen something like that already, but it's a good application of the theme.
Keep up the good work.
Really cute, challenging, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/XwDbETpIdpU
Very stylish :-D
