neat
A funny idea and neat graphics, I like the cartoon-ish character style. Gameplay could be tweaked a bit, I felt I was bashing mouse1 and spacebar just all the time. Maybe a slower build-up, so losing less energy in the beginning would be nice, or shoot in bursts of more than one bullet.
I liked the art best, it was really fancy, but the game play could be tweaked a little. I felt it was a little to hard to smash those bratwurst and keep an eye on the meter at the same time. Also i love the pun in the title. Great work!
Cool game !
The game over/life mechanic is really well done. I just feel like the shooting part lacks a bit of juice (no pun intended) and feels a bit slow. Which is too bad since it's the main gameplay mechanic. Nothing dramatic tho but with such a funny theme you could turn the firing to 11.
Overall the game is really well done. Congratulations on the entry !
It's a fun game. I liked the graphics and how you used the theme.
As straightforward as it is, this was pretty fun! The graphics were great too :) I agree with the above though about perhaps a slower difficulty ramp or a bit faster shooting, but otherwise very well done!
@rakart Yeah, went back and forth a lot on the rate of fire. It got incredibly easy if we got it too high. My guess is that I overtuned that based on initial feedback (totally my fault there, no blame to teammates). Thanks for the comment!
Cool game! I feel it could use more polish on the graphics and audio, but they are serving their purpose just right :D
In my opinion it would be a lot more fun if it was point click shooter, but that's just me, I respect your decision. Congratulations!
Funny game and fits the theme for LD40! Nice job! :3
Very neat! Love all the attention to detail in the graphics -- the wurst package title, and the swooshy eating animations are great. The gameplay is fun for the most part, though I do feel the gun could be faster. It does feel satisfying to break the wursts apart while slamming space bar! Good work, all of you!
Really great. Love how food gets stuck on the sides sometimes. Everything about this game is so gross, but genius. Good mechanics, innovative game design, good graphics on the stomache elements, and great sound. Only gripe is that fullscreen would be appreciated, I kept clicking outside of the window by accident.
Haha, very fun idea x) quite original too :-) Well, there's a little work to do with the shooting mechanic, not always very fluent. As for the music, I'm not very convinced, there is little relation between the theme and the sound. And even if the "gore"/"disgusting" aspect of the sound-design works, the music isn't going in the same direction, so not really working :-/ Maybe you could do something with farting sounds or something ? x) or other disgusting "instruments" ? And the more acid there is the stomach, the more farting melodies there are ? Could be in the theme :-) just saying ! Well, anyway your game is cool and it would be great if you could continue your work on it ! :-D PS : go check our game ;-) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/the-darkest-light
Burp! :D This was a really good game!
Weird and really nauseatingly, but also pretty fun to play. Well done.
I wouldn't say it's the wurst. It was pretty good. The celery was a nice touch to balance out the difficultly. I didn't constantly feel doomed. Graphics were lovely. Liked the sketched character. Appreciate the pun. Some food did get stuck on the walls of the stomach. That was the only real quality issue I encountered. Great work overall!
This is quite a funny game! I liked how it played and forced you to consider the upcoming wursts.
Really enjoyable game, well executed too :)
Quick, simple, and to-the-point. The graphics are great, the music and sound effects are well done, and generally the game presents itself very well. My only issue was that it was very easy to accidentally click off-screen (and lose because of it), so a full-screen option would have been nice.
Too bad it's not available on Mac or Web. Would love to try this!
Lots of fun! The edge of the screen was too close though. Sometimes when I wanted to shoot wurst close to the right, it would click out of the game and I had to click back - not good when you go for the points :P
