I loved the art and ragdoll animations
Thank you for your kind words!
I like that you have short instructions on your start screen.
I did not get the swing to throw prisoners beyond a certain point, no matter the angle at which I released it.
Also the graphics are not instantly recognizable.
By the way, you say on the web site you are linking to that you used Unit3D. Did you mean Unity?
Nice Game!
If Humor counted this game would definitly be on top ... the idea was simply hilarious. The ragdoll animations when hitting the ground and the catapult loading prisioners were very good. Just wish there was a scoring system of some kind since I didn't feel any kind of reward for geting the prisioners out of Alcatraz.
Also without seeing the target its a bit hard to know where to hit.
Overall I liked it! Congratz :)
@gonutz - Good spot on the typo! Fixed, thank you
I'm not quite sure what you mean about the swing. It will only be able to thrown prisoners a certain distance, but that's just the physical limit of the catapult. Also not sure what you mean about the graphics not being recognisable, but one thing I'm aware of is the mattress is a little difficult to see, so will be trying to fix that post-jam.
@Lojchin - Thank you!
@Mordokay - I believe humour is actually one of the marks that you can give a game during judging! Glad you enjoy the ragdoll, it was fun to create.
There actually is a scoring system (check the end of the newspaper!) but we might consider making it more obvious while you play. We've other things that we'd like to do to improve the game, just need to find the time!
Thanks again for your kind words, we're really glad people are getting enjoyment from playing
Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/rUX8vUSl-y0
