This was a really fun game! I loved the graphics but didn't like how long it took to throw the mushroom at first. It was fun after I got used to it though

I like the atmosphere you guys setted!

haokarlos 2015-12-16 00:54

Hey guys! I cant open the mac version :S

alsatian-studio 2015-12-16 01:02

@Haokarlos: sorry, I don't have a Mac right now for testing (built directly from Unity). I will check it later. Thank you.

Weel, I'm not sure why you don't want such a gorgeous looking game to not be rated for its graphics. It really is that dood looking. The idea itself is good, but the execution could be further improved into a post compo version. I like the idea of throwing the growing mushrooms, but I feel like it's hard to use that properly. But for a 72 hours game, this is not a huge issue, especially when it's so well presented.

Missing quite/exit button on death screen

I always die because she attack only stop.But the game is very cool!

While the controls and physics could use some work, the charm and derpy humor kept me playing for way longer than I expected,

amras0000 2015-12-16 01:05

Minor nitpick here, but a lot of people don't read several lines into a description, so try and provide the controls for your game in the game itself.

More generally speaking, the game's rather pretty but the mushrooms seem to fall on their side whenever I throw them. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but it looks a bit glitchy. Since you're working in unity, I think a better approach would be to disable the physics on the mushroom once it's planted (mushroomObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().SetActive(false);), and just keep the collider as a trigger so any baddies that walk into it get killed. (make sure it's only a trigger so Nia can walk past it and it doesn't get knocked over - trigger colliders don't have physics)

The idea is great but the throw mechanic is too long :(
Great and colorfull 3D graphic :)

Graphics and audio are great. I really can't say much about the theme... This uses 4 button controls and the only growing I see is the mushroom. I do have a minor complaint about the escape key not exiting the game. That being said, the game is very well put together, and the concept feels uniform in all aspects. I feel like this was done well. Thank you!

Great graphics and overall polish! I'm always amazed at the level level of quality that some developers can pull off in such short periods of time. Great Job!

Mac version does not works :(

shivur 2015-12-16 01:22

Very beautiful game but the bastards are coming too fast she doesn't have time to throw her mushrooms.

socapex 2015-12-16 01:22

If you get an error on OSX: Open terminal
type "cd", drag the main.app, add "/Content/MacOSX"
Now chmod +x main
Good to go.

qwetro 2015-12-16 01:25

Very interesting gameplay, the mushroom is quite funny, lol. Great graphics, love the atmosphere!

crazyminnowstudio 2015-12-16 04:15

As soon as the game loads, my character immediately runs to the left and falls off the world. Looks nice, from what I can see before I die.

phocker 2015-12-16 04:19

i assume you got the graphics on the unity asset store, thus the missing category - the mechanics were not polished and it was difficult know when enemies were coming - good effort

gmatsura 2015-12-16 04:23

Fun concept, but difficult to play due to the slow mushroom throw. I'm also not a big fan of the one hit kill mechanics.

krafty 2015-12-16 04:44

Really nice game! I love the graphics and animations.

korvexx 2015-12-16 04:53

Nice game! Really pretty even if you didn't do the art. I think a bigger version with other kinds of mushrooms would be a fun game!

I do wish I could change direction mid-air while jumping. But it's not a big deal. :P Good job!

caspila 2015-12-16 05:33

Really wanted to give it a try but doesn't work on Mac OS 10.10

tensoplast01 2015-12-16 08:17

Great game! :D

micky 2015-12-16 08:57

very interesting weapon haha, fun game :), great looking game for that matter

terry90 2015-12-16 08:59

Atmosphere was cool, and the graphics were great (would have rated them highly!). SFX could use some rethinking, but it was a charming little game nonetheless!

poptartftw 2015-12-16 11:18

nice game!

monetai 2015-12-16 11:23

awesome graphics awesome music, game is way too hard too fast

drzanuff 2015-12-16 11:39

Wow Guys! Nice atmosphere you have here. Some magic you have done in 72 hours. Good job!

nosfer 2015-12-16 14:05

Haha I love how it glitches in most funny way for example when you jump on mushroom and the situation when mobs are running after you :)

moonlightbomber 2015-12-17 08:53

This has the potential to become a full game. Keep it up.

psychomonster 2015-12-17 17:50

Hey guys... you should have allowed to rate the very cool graphics... +1 for that... with some gameplay (control) polishing this would be a good project for a post-compo version... Good job..

alsatian-studio 2015-12-25 06:13

Hey guys, thank you so much for your comments and advice. My wife just gave birth to our son, and I was so busy last week.
I just fixed some bugs, now Nia will jump and throw more smoothly. Do you think "throwing" is a good idea? Or I should give her a gun?

mango-man 2015-12-25 08:31

Great graphics. Without reading the description, I was confused at first since I wanted to bop enemies on the head. :D Pretty neat otherwise, the music is very relaxing.

alliel_a 2015-12-25 11:40

nice game

cristianbatista 2015-12-25 16:20

Nice game guys, good photos, nice graphics, nice music, congrats! (:

stefenism 2015-12-25 17:51

Holy hell...did I just do drugs?

neonlare 2015-12-25 18:34

Themeing isn't amazingly strong to either growing or 2 buttons, feels like the throw system needs some speeding up and tweaking. It's definitely promising, and way more ambitious than most LD titles, so that gets my vote for sure. Would vote for graphics and audio but there's no options for that. I think the throwing mechanic is fine as a basis, it needs some refining. Giving her a gun would drop some of the charm and make it a little more generic in my own opinion. If you're going to expand the game outside of the jam, maybe have vials or some kind of combination mechanic to compliment the throwing? Either way, interesting to see such an ambitious looking title show up in LD. Looking forward to seeing more in the future :).

alsatian-studio 2015-12-29 02:47

Nia now can throw seed while running/ jumping; and she also can see further. With these changes, this game run a little better; but I think I should add more enemies.

guoboism 2015-12-30 02:49

Man, take care of your wife. Jam can wait...

alsatian-studio 2015-12-31 02:11

Thanks, of course I do, man. I'm just spend some free time on this :D
