Cool looking art for the player. Need some adjustments in collisions and controller. Great job.

Cool looking art for the player. Need some adjustments in collisions and controller. Great job.
The art is very nice! Those are some cute little reptiles. Dying in a single hit is a little harsh, I would recommend you reduce power on getting hit instead, giving players a bit more of a chance that way! Falling in a hole could also just reduce power a little, and then warp the player back up next to the pit. Another idea, it might also be worth it to place little pickups that recover just a bit of your power when you get them: not as much as the strawberries do, but could help make the beginning of the game a bit easier, and let you save your stravberries for when you backtrack later. Another little detail, is that its not obvious that you can kill the plants. The small monsters were obvious enough to crush, but the plants not so!
Cool game with very nice graphics! The colliders are a bit weird: when you try jumping and there is a block in front of you, you are blocked forcing you to jump then move. And as @frankiesmileshow said, maybe doing something so the player can't be one-shot would be nice. Nice work!
The platforming needs some work here, getting caught on ledges and kind of floaty. Really ambitious metroidvania-like puzzle platformer you have here. When I played full screen on 2560x1440 the text ended up being really really tiny. Art is cute though.
You should label your game as windows, instead of 'source code' :)
Cute game. Really like the artwork! The controls are a bit clunky, and could be smoother. The game has nice mood!
Cute art. Controls could need some work though. Unless I'm doing something wrong, jumping seems to do nothing most of the time.
Great looking game. Really charming artwork and overall aesthetic.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get very far because the platforming was so unforgiving. Lots of issues with getting stuck on walls/cielings and not being able to reliably jump over obstacles.
I also had the same font-size issues as @randomphantom, which made it hard to read the instructions as they came up.
Overall, a very pretty game, but needs some work.
So cute! The art looks great, sadly the controls are a bit difficult to handle.
Thank you for the feedbacks :) The physics and UI really need some fixing and as for jumping, at the beginning of the game, player doesn't have that ability. As for difficulties and instant death when colliding with enemy, I guess we're going to do more balancing and get rid of instant death and reduce the energy bar instead. (But that's for future development after Ludum Dare, maybe).
Really cute little game. I love the art direction and the music complimented it well. The problem is really the controls and trying to traverse the level. It feels awkward and imprecise. With the game being single hit and difficult it really needs precise controls. There's a lot of potential here with the "turtle and his shell" thing but if it doesn't feel good to use it's kinda moot. Once that's taken care of you'll really have a great game. /Cheers!
I liked the art, and there were some nice touches in the level design, such as forcing me to go into "shield mode" to solve problems. As others have said, the physics need a bit of tuning, as it was too easy to get stuck on the landscape and felt a bit floaty. However, it's a really good effort, particularly given the time constraints.
nice work!
Sometimes i get stuck when jumping, and the platforms holding me from neither be up or down. Good mechanic to walk with the turtle while in shell, never played this mechanic before, though some creatures was able to hurt me while I'm in the shell, which is not an expected behavior.
-m
The turtle is supercute! I love the animation when it's inside the shell! The game itself is nice too, classic platformer with a time limit, although the colisions were a bit clunky sometimes! Good job overall!
Keep up the hard work! ;)
Art is really cute! Control and collision issues made it pretty frustrating to play though, especially with the one-hit game over.
Very nice aesthetic and well chosen music!
I felt the controlls (collisions) need some work, but I really loved the metroidvania level design!
This game is pretty fun! The metroidvania style exploration is good. I like having to search around for those strawberries to keep my meter up. I also like the idea of having a shield mode. Not only is it fitting given the turtle character, but it also forces me to make tricky decisions when going through a group of enemies, adding a bit of a twist to what could have been fairly standard gameplay. The hand drawn art style is charming, although the UI could use some work. The inventory bar covered up the bottom of the screen making it difficult to see where you were landing. My main complaint with the game is how punishing it is. Making the player restart the whole game after taking one hit is a bit much. Maybe taking away some energy would have been a more balanced solution. That issue aside, this is a very solid entry that I enjoyed playing. Nice work!
you should remove Grass from stone tile
@orcdraco Thanks for playing our game! Just played yours and it was a funny game. I was stuck sometimes on the blocks, I think the collisons may need some adjustments. However it was non blocking and the game was fun. It was a simple game, but I think the turtle and the crocodiles were cute!
Very nice graphics, with a good music ^^ Collisions aren't perfect. I dont understand very well the interest of the energy bar (except for the theme).
@harusame Every move the character make decrease the energy, and if the energy is 0, it's game over.. So it's more of puzzle platformer where player should plan their steps so they won't waste energy by wandering around :)
Cool graphics! Collisions are a bit weird but a good game =)
- Very good graphics also sound is also good - i like the way you use the turtle shell to kill enemy - But, player movement is very much buggy which make the gameplay not so good - also the ui at the bottom distrat me as i cannot the the background below - overall nice entry keep it up
Hey! Awesome graphics! Enjoy such style. The one thing is that sometimes I was unable to use my powers, like jump. Maybe some bug. Anyway, I like the stile and the difficulty. From my point of view it's very well balanced. Good job! :thumbsup:
Great game, I liked the graphics and the gameplay, continues to make games
Collision with walls were pretty wonky. Dying in one hit kinda sucks especially considering how hard it is to avoid being hit. Music was nice though.
Cool graphics, The platforming work was done very well, Creative ways to do jobs!
The way the turtle kills the enemy, It reminds me about Mario!
If there was a cute category this game would get over 9000 stars! But yet behind that cute facade lies a brutal game xD
The graphics in this game are very well done - the crocs look very cute. I had major issues with the jumping - even when i was just walking in an open area, the turtle often wouldn't jump. I could not unlock a single croc due to the jumping not working. Great looking artwork, just need to polish those physics a bit.
Funny Turtle)
Youve done some nice graphics here and the idea was nice too! :0) Unfortunately the collision detection was a bit bad but your game was fun nonetheless! :0) I really like the turtle and it's animations! Haha! Thank you for your nice game! :0)
Really like the painted graphics look, and especially the walking animation when you're hiding in your shell :-)
I will mirror what others said about jumping being unresponsive and a little off (sometimes I would get glued to a tile as I jump into it, or not be able to jump when an enemy is approaching). Despite this I kept playing for a while, because the world was interesting and I was curious what I'd find next. Nice work!
Good art. The controls could be smoother
Nice graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcB7mPgMq7c
