Hey, welcome to Ludum Dare, and congratulations on your first game!
Getting a game done on your first LD is pretty amazing.
i love it ! once it got big the bright red left a cool after image and changed the blue when it moved
So, you made a thing! That in itself is something to be proud of. The game itself is a thing that runs, but really that's about it. Although, it's all there in the name, so I don't know what I expected.
Congrats on finishing!
Congratulations on your first game! The game is a simple Feed the Fish style game, but that's pretty good for a starting submission. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can make in the future :).
Great job on your first game, internet stranger! Hope it's the first of many.
Good job! I think if you do movement like asteroids gets too cool.
For a first Unity game, physics and controls are nicely balanced. Few simple improvements ideas:
- Use higher resolution asset for you Player character, so it's scaled down at the beginning, not scaled up later (scaling up causes visible artifacts).
- Make other cirles movement more randomized (directions and speed).
- Add some losing condition - e.g. when colliding with circles bigger than you - so player has some incentive to stay in game (in this case - avoiding bigger enemies while growing).
- Add some audio, even just simple slurp sound when you devour other circles. There's a lot of Creative Commons and Public Domain sounds and music available, and it can improve playability very much.
Pretty neat. a score system would've been nice. grats on your first LD.
I was going to suggest some improvements but it seems anv covered that, so I'll just say congrats on your first LD game. Pushing yourself to actually completing a game and succeeding is a worthy milestone in its own right. Keep improving from here!
Congratulations for finishing your first game! That's a very important step.
Some ideas about how you could continue: At the moment it's more a toy than a game as it has no objectives or challenges. I also like to start with creating toys as it gives you a good feeling whether or not the core mechanics is fun. If it is already fun without any objectives, this is a very good start to add objectives. In your case I would try to adjust the controls a bit as they feel a bit strange and get rid of that "hickup" when you collect other circles.
