As a metalhead, I approve. Fun entry. Well polished overall.

Nice little game. I like color choices in art department, although I would make floor a bit darker to make all other objects more readable. As for the gameplay - I like your choice of mechanics, although combat seems a but frustrating at first. Great job overall, keep participating, man :)

Great pixel art and theme! I feel like I could take some old people in a fist fight though...

bcvery1 2018-04-23 16:24

Nice simple game, good job

vyolfers 2018-04-23 16:33

Just one thing : METAAAAAAAAAAAAAL !!!!

Love the art style and the gameplay is pretty slick. Not sure these are truly 'incompatible' genres, but that's not really the point. This is a great piece of work.

i’m into it! the main character reminds me of younger version of deathklok haha

Tried playing the Mac version, but I'm getting a "can't be opened" error message :(

Your Linux version needs to have the game binary marked as executable, apart from that though it plays quite well. There's a small graphical issue where the background peeks through the edges between some sprites.

I must say, the music is really nice.

Very nice graphics. I really loved when elders slipped on water. I made me laugh :)

Good job on the game!

Hi @Solnak, congratz for the entry, great artworks! As you use Unity you could generate a WebGL build and deploy it on a service such itch.io, it could make your game playable by every users without having to handle several game builds :wink:

solnak 2018-04-24 19:20

@nidup Thanks a lot for the advice, since i'm new in this universe i didn't know it was that easy ! Awesome it even gets rid of the weird pixel glitch some people had with my game. I'm really grateful you take the time to nicely suggest me to do this :).

Thanks for all the feedbacks everyone !

nidup 2018-04-24 19:49

@solnak welcome, making a web build really helps :thumbsup: Very cool entry by the way, I like the ambiance & graphics, pretty fun to have to escape grannies making them fall into the water :stuck_out_tongue:

dartictheunic 2018-04-24 22:03

Ahah nice one at the end, it's clear that non-metalheads wouldn't have understood why they should listen to something like that ^^

Nicely done, would have loved to have a little drumkick when I move but beside that real fun

Spat water all over my keyboard when one of the hags walked over the puddle and fell. 10/10

martintristan 2018-04-25 01:51

pretty cool! great pixel art and level design. the story is pretty cool too!

fabian-pohl 2018-04-25 17:55

Beating up Grannies?! Im in! Cool work!

serwaastudio 2018-04-25 21:39

I liked the game :D The design and the idea was cool. The overall experience was really good!

polegar 2018-04-25 22:42

Really nice graphics and gameplay, it was really fun to play. I love it when they fall while trying to catch you :D. The icing on the cake would be to add a little effect when you grab the pick. For the moment the level change is a little bit brutal.

Really impressive job !

spthiel 2018-04-27 14:23

Neat! Really like the game :D

rebecca-kremer 2018-04-29 17:52

Loved making the old people fall on the puddles as terrible as that is to say haha. I enjoyed the strategic elements, though the fact that the old people's movements were unpredictable (and you could spawn next to them or get trapped inside them) made it a little unfair at times. Overall a solid entry, especially for the Compo!

amazura 2018-04-29 23:43

haha.. really enjoyed this game. Good job! :thumbsup:

lameosine 2018-04-30 05:13

Your theme is hilarious, good job!

designernap 2018-04-30 20:58

METAL STRENGTH! Love it! A great entry!

gonutz 2018-05-01 09:10

Nice little zelda-like, or what you call this kind of game :-)

Really cool graphics, everything fits together. Fun animations.

The music and sound effects also fit the graphics very well, very cool artwork!

The AI is very simple, the old people do not move when behind a rock. They sometimes block the exit but this can create kind of a puzzle when you have to get them away from the goal before exiting the level.

Overall a solid entry, keep up the good work!

Wonky story with engaging gameplay. c: Feels polished and complete overall with graphics, mechanics and audio and even a little story. It's all there. And of course the procedural generation makes for endless gameplay until the player tires! Figuring out the mechanics can be a little confusing at first. I wonder if I would've done as well if I hadn't initially seen this on stream with you providing some explanations in the chat, but having to provide instructions outside of the game is common in jams and not really something I would stress too much. As long as the instructions are available at all! Very good entry!
