This was a great jam game! It controls surprisingly well (slightly floaty) and is a pretty fun/unique physics-based mechanic. The graphical style is really nice and easy to read. I did find a bug where I floated up on top of a skeleton and got stuck in the ceiling.
Nice game! Love the simple yet beautiful 3D graphics. Too bad there's only one level :(
Albeit a bit unbalanced, this is really good! Such a cool concept and amazing visuals! Too bad I didn't submit a game, so I can't rate it.
I had way too much fun chucking loot at skeletons and smashing boxes.. Awesome game! :D
Great work man the character looks like mini assassins creed guy
This is the best game I've played this LD. I like the graphics style very very much. Keep up the good work. Do you do this for a living? :)
My first idea for this theme was slowing down the player the more stuff he carries. Our game ended up being something completely different but I'm glad to see someone did a truly amazing job with that idea. Game feels completely finished and I like the end where the greatest treasure is the wisdom. :p
It was a great moment when I understood how beat the level. So much fun :smiley:
But now I wonder is there any way to make another kind of levels for this gameplay. What ideas did you have for it?
Here is my playthrough (please don't laugh):

This looks really nice and polished. It does feels that you took great care about graphics, good job.
Gameplay also was pretty fun and smooth. Additional points to you that you polished controls and movement, too many devs forget to do it.
Really nice game, I really enjoyed it. I laughed at the end text. Really like the graphics, music and gameplay. Very impressive jam entry!
really great concept and really hard! The movement was a bit buggie in my opinion! But keep up the good work!
A little bit too easy (and short) but still soo cool. Waiting for some anditional stuff like traps or something :D Hope u will find some time after jam to make that kind of small improvement ;)
This game is extremely fun. sometimes you have to just throw all your shit on the ground to run away from mass quantities of skeletons, but you have to end up at the door with 30 items so it's a fun strategy thing. The graphics tie it up nicely as they do exactly what they need to do. The style is consistent and enjoyable. I also like the music and sound effects. In terms of balancing, I would make it so you slow down less quickly and have you need more items to unlock the door. Overall a fun little game!
Nice animation.
Great game. I like this mechanics. Graphics looks very good.
First of all, I really like how you scaled the bag when you got new loot, that little detail makes everything so much better.
Concerning the graphics you did a great job, I love how you textured the 3d models. I’m Impressed!
Concerning the audio, even though you didn’t make it yourself you made a great choice. It suites this game very well.
Overall I like this game so much. I had an amazing time playing it. This kind of game mechanic is so innovative I haven't seen It around in any other games! Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

While the game had a neat idea, was the movment like a sponge. A wet sponge. Kind of spoiled fun for me - I prefer crisp movement controls - other than that I'd say really good for a jam.
GOD one of my fav' games for this LD, 5/5 <3 Maybe a bit short but so fun, nice innovation, and great polish !!
I was playing windows version, and the throwing function does not work. I tried playing it multiple times in different ways, in a window and such. The player makes the throwing arm movement, but nothing ever gets thrown.
@cubeeo Thank you for telling me. When I've uploaded the other platforms I've uploaded a new build of the windows version, but I think that the new build has a bug that was absent before (even if I've not modified anything), I've uploaded the old one, could you please check if now it works? Thanks!
Lot's of good aesthetics here. The graphics, audio, and even camera angle work together to create a really good feeling dungeon crawler.
The mechanic is fun and feels good. It also had some subtle depth in choosing when to throw away loot, and when to horde it. Good job!
Unfortunately, I found the controls kinda 'floaty' in a bad way. I felt like, if I got into a corner with a couple skeletons around me, there was nothing I could do to get out alive.
Still, lot's of positives and I had a good time playing!
Incredible game guys!! For real, congratulations :smile:
@nickzangus Yes, it works now. And, now that I play the fully functioning version, I realize the prior windows version had multiple bugs - like camera direction movement doesn't work like it does here. This version seems to be totally bug free and playable.
It looks great and is a worthy accomplishment. It feels tough, but not too tough. (Some games are so hard that I don't want to try them again.) This one, I do want to try again, and I think I can do better... even if that's not the case. Well done.
Very innovate and interesting idea! I got to about 40 loot by making a pile by the exit; I had to leave early after I kept getting caught on the walls when trying to avoid skeletons.
A really good looking game with a nice concept. The gameplay is good as well, except for the camera which is hard to use, maybe a top-down view of a real third person shooter camera would have been more appropriate.
Anyway, great job!
Really fun and polished game! 2 or 3 levels would have been perfect! I like the graphics
This is pretty awesome, good job guys! Really like the simple gameplay and the cool 3D art and animations
I really like this take on the theme. I like that the it is not just added to an existing gameplay idea but rather integrated into the whole idea of why it's fun. I think the game was really fun and it took me a few tries to beat it. It wasent too difficult though, you found a nice balance. The graphics were really nice, and the sound too. I think it would've been better if the soundtrack didn't reset. Overall- a really solid game that proved to be actually FUN to play! :)
An interesting mechanic and well integrated to the theme, and a beautiful art. Congratulations for the game.
Uma mecânica interessante e bem integrada ao tema, e uma arte bonita. Parabéns pelo jogo. :flag_br:
Hey, I'm having trouble getting the mac version to play. It looks like it flashes open and closes again immediately. I'm running version OSX v. 10.11.6.
@bryceltaylor Hi! Thank you for telling me. I've uploaded a new MacOs version that should work. Let me know if you experience any other problem.
Nice! Thanks for fixing that, it worked. I thought it was fun.
The camera controls were a bit wonky. They swing really far each time I moved, making it really hard to aim or even look where I wanted to look. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't play it, it just felt like I was fighting them the whole time.
I love that the skeletons bash the crates open. It's really nice and gives you an option for when you have shot all of your treasure. I also really like that the treasure is your ammunition. It makes deciding whether or not to take a shot an interesting choice. I also like that you can't kill the skeletons but shooting them causes them to flinch. Is shooting that skeleton worth it? Sometimes. Which is a good answer to that question.
Sometimes when starting a level I would immediately get rushed by skeletons and others I wouldn't. I think I had a better experience when I started in a safe place and I could look around for a second. I liked that I got to make the decision to rush in. It made it feel tactical.
I liked the cartoony art style. And I liked the music. It all had a good feel.
I wish there was a restart level button when you died. Or even if it just started you back in on the level and there was a main menu button to click. It would make jumping back in quicker. I do appreciate that you could skip the intro, though. That helped a lot.
I really enjoyed this game! Thanks for making it!
The graphics, animations, and sound effects are nice and fit together. I like the smoothness of the models and smooth animations. May I suggest that when the level starts there are no immediate skeletons. The level loaded and within 2 seconds a skeleton was rushing me! :P Also, is there no way to kill the skeleton by throwing stuff at them? if so, then there's way too many and I'm thinking that having a handful constantly following may create a better experience.
Still, this is solid entry. Nice work
