mac version worked great. im a sucker for physics games, this was suer fun :)

selftitled 2018-04-23 15:48

That was fun, the platforming bit is hard when getting punched in the face

mathiouza 2018-04-23 15:48

Interesting concept ^^ It works well, but after that, it is quite complicated to be up for this poor guy ^^ Keep coding :)

Have tested the Linux version, works absolutely fine (although debug lines spamming out into terminal I ran it from). Nice concept and great music

joqlepecheur 2018-04-23 17:40

well, windows worked fine too, except terminal, maybe an option to deactivate on godot? In my opinion it would have been a little better to have a more progressive difficulty.

It's an interesting take on the theme!

vasco-freitas 2018-04-23 18:01

@joqlepecheur Yeah, I couldn't find the option to disable the terminal at the time, but I found it now and will update the game soon (this simple fix should not be against the rules I think). Thanks!

joqlepecheur 2018-04-23 19:01

@vasco-freitas I don't think it should be a problem, it won't change the game or even your code, it will just make it nicer for futer players ;)

This may just be the best game I've seen yet. The concept is very entertaining, it actually *has a soundtrack*, and the mechanics are intuitive and sensible. Reminds me of some of the better Flash games from back in the day, and that's a very good thing. The big gang of guys at the end though... they get me every time. Nice job! I can certainly see this being a thing, once properly expanded.

Really nice game I love the songs and the physics ! I wasn't able to go behind the moving plates (I kept falling there xD) I definitely gonna play later to finish this level ;)

jcwelgemoed 2018-04-24 12:48

damn it is hard getting onto those platforms. fun concept though and probably played it longer than I should have :) Great work

holyblackcat 2018-04-24 16:41

Ha, this is great! The controls are terrible in a good way, and I like how the character looks.

(BTW, in comments to my game you said it didn't start for you. I fixed it and pinged you, not sure if you got a notification.)

The game idea is good and it overall fun to game to play. The best part of this game was the amazing music.

honest-dan 2018-04-24 20:16

It was quite hard, but made me laugh and had a good blast for the 5 minutes I played!! I liked the physics based tactics, such as blocking enemies with corpses, climbing on enemies for height, and jumping off balance platform with enemies on it, and leaving them to topple to their death below! Would have benefited from a HP indicator perhaps to help you know when you're nearing death. Good job!

niterich 2018-04-26 00:59

I agree with honest dan above, I think you managed to do a lot with the physics aspect of the game but should probably had a health bar.

vasco-freitas 2018-04-26 10:17

@honest-dan @niterich Yes I completely agree, the health bar was the next thing on my to-do list, but I ran out of time :( Thanks!

ale 2018-04-26 16:59

Definitely needs a health bar for the player at least. Also would've been nice if I could launch enemies or something by kicking them (possibly into environmental hazards :P)

The controls felt good, maybe could've used some tighter constraints on the player to keep him from falling over so easily, but being able to mash the punch button was actually pretty satisfying. Also since there's no way to block, you're pretty much doomed. A kill counter would at least show you how far you got.

Overall though it was pretty satisfying to play. If you keep working on this, I think you could turn it into a fun little brawler. Good job!

vasco-freitas 2018-04-26 17:19

@ale @lumos Thank you! Regarding expanding the game, I am actually considering this. The physics can definitely be improved, different moves can be added (blocking, crouched attacks, picking up enemies), and various physics-based obstacles/puzzles. It is also a really fun game to work on :)

philippkick 2018-04-26 19:52

funny game! liked the animations

yirggzmb 2018-04-26 21:26

A lot of fun! Never really manage to make it past the first area (kept falling to my doom), but was thoroughly amused the whole time anyway.

nick-rafalski 2018-04-28 03:32

This was really fun! The physics are great and so are the animations! I wish the level design was a little more interesting, but I can definitely relate to running out of time (even more so with a new engine, yikes!). I would definitely play more of this

loveapplegames 2018-05-02 10:03

I liked the use of the physics model and it was fun to play. It would have been nice to have scores and a win state but I guess you ran short of time. Thanks for this nice game! I guess you demonstrated that there is no incompatibility between physics and a good punch up :)

loveapplegames 2018-05-02 10:05

PS like the graphics too!

loveapplegames 2018-05-02 10:56

PPS Your feedback on our game would be appreciated: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/frogger-the-jigsaw :)

thanks!

vasco-freitas 2018-05-02 11:27

@loveapplegames Done :) Thanks!

lmb 2018-05-02 22:04

This is ridiculous in the best possible sense! *Really* liked to play it! It lacks some polishing, as you said (like, how much energy do I still have?) and is short. But other than that, a very interesting concept that worked well. Graphics are nice enough (probably better than "nice enough", actually), the animation is pretty good, the music is great and fits well into the game. Great job!

saturn007 2018-05-04 00:22

This game is really fun! I think I got to like 10 people killed before I got killed but this is some pretty good stuff.
