Hey, I found you at the Hide and Seek game :D Maybe you want to rate my game as well? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest

Really good its just really hard to move around

evil-as-shit 2018-04-24 04:36

Keep it up!

mbrezu 2018-04-24 10:27

This is such a nice game. Lots of fun, lots of content, lots of laughs.

sipa 2018-04-24 15:19

pretty fun, just really hard to move around and I havent yet managed to pickup any items :(

hauo 2018-04-24 15:36

Fun take on the theme! Works well, the style is quite on point with a voxel style and nice explosions. While the voice-acting could have been done with a better mic, the content itself makes the game. The Zelda inspired fairy that follows you around is what makes you want to continue and explore so hear what comes next. Love it.

The camera could be a bit more zoom-ed out however, as I sometimes missed dialogue because I just kept shooting, killing stuff to far in front of me and triggering the next dialogue part. Also, my biggest gripe: I don't mind at all that the game is a bit long (and is rather repetitive) but why is there no floor check-points? As mentioned you play because you want to hear the next part of the fairy, but if you die have have to hear it all over again! Not that fun.

In the end, a great way to give me story bits without stopping the gameplay, the theme itself works well, and the humour is rather on point. Goof job!

wizard-sino 2018-04-24 16:22

HEY! @SiPa, the joke is that you CANT pick stuff up.

sipa 2018-04-24 16:33

I know :D sarkasm

wizard-sino 2018-04-24 17:19

ah.

wizard-sino 2018-04-24 17:20

also, @HAUO there aren't any checkpoints because we ran out of time.

siactro 2018-04-24 23:14

Okay this might be my favorite so far! :) Blowing stuff up feels sooooo satisfying and the overall idea is just so cool. I love how it slowly turns more and more from a Dungeon Crawler into a space shooter and how you managed to create a cute yet annoying sidecharacter. ;D Very well done! I absolutely enjoyed this game. :)

space-man 2018-04-24 23:59

Nice game, cute and funny. I liked the use of the theme to create the absurd situation of a spaceship in a dungeon. It really could use checkpoints though, I wanted to hear more of the dialog but replaying the first couple floors gets repetitive.

maskinmask 2018-04-25 09:17

The X is a lie!

macdoom 2018-04-25 23:22

Hilarious voice acting! It's really fun to go across the dungeon blowing stuff up. The only thing I would fix is the rotation speed of the ship. It so fast its hard to go past doors. Good work!

dnich013 2018-04-25 23:59

I really enjoy the controls of this game. The lighting is very well done as well. Really enjoyable experience :)

danny88881 2018-04-26 02:43

Very nice game, the mood is perfect! One thing (for me personally) is the controls are slippery at times, but for the most part they are fine.

theamazingb 2018-04-26 03:59

I thought this game was hilaroius. I love the fairy folowing you around and I totally get the joke. It would have been nice if there were some sort of health bar but otherwise its great. Your cousin did an awesome job Check ours out when you get the chance https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer. We used voxel art for the first time too!!!

adsilcott 2018-04-26 04:12

This is the funniest and most charming game I've played so far. I love it! I think you used the clash of themes in the best possible way, through story as well as mechanics. Great job!

roaderful 2018-04-26 04:32

Honestly I just spin like crazy shooting all the way around :grin: Awesome work, the voice really adds up and the mechanics fit well with the voxels :thumbsup:

royur 2018-04-26 10:09

so cute!

yahialds 2018-04-26 11:40

Great idea with lovely visuals. Nice detail it even has voice acting, this game deserves good ratings

biobazard 2018-04-26 16:24

I had a good time ! The destruction feature is so juicy 😁 ! It was better than what I expected. You should post a gif to make it more attractive !

nebbishhacker 2018-04-26 18:46

@biobazard Good idea :)

the-noffs 2018-04-27 00:38

Hah! This game tickled me pink. I haven't been that amused for a while. :D Exceedingly well done! Nicely polished and cute music. I really appreciate how much this game knew what it was (or didn't, in the fairy's case). Voice acting was fantastic! Tell your nephew I loved their voxel art! Very excited to share this with friends. Agreed with others re slippery controls, but it was fine. Keep making awesome games. :)

nebbishhacker 2018-04-27 00:46

@the_noffs My nephew did the music, too. I'll let him know you liked it. :)

rebecca-kremer 2018-04-27 02:28

Great job you guys! Loved the Asteroids/Legend of Zelda mashup, though perhaps some of the jokes could have been less on-the-nose. :P Loved the variety of enemies and the slightly-wonky movement. All came together to create a very quirky mood, accentuated by the xylophone. Great voice acting too!

scottthoo 2018-04-27 03:40

Wow, nice narrative ! Love the sound, About the gameplay I'm not sure I have a HP... It's fun to smash things around and see all of the cubes are falls. Movement is kinda too slippery making easy to turn and shoot but its hard to move around. Color are nice, Wish you can add all of shooting six, pew pew pew, urrhg urrrgh die die die.. Anyway, Great job !

agar3s 2018-04-27 21:10

what a great experience, I enjoyed the game a lot.

abductedplatypus 2018-04-28 18:25

__Fun__ I really enjoyed this one. To the point that after dying right before the end (as I found out later) I redid everything. That was really annoying though to redo the entire game after dying. (Dying is also a bit too hard oddly enough.) The amount of enemies was really great, and the amount of hasty bugs I encountered was really low.

__Innovation__ Most innovation was from the graphics I think, which I have seen before, but not too often. More on that later. Also the story, more on that at humor.

__Theme__ We have a winner. Someone who actually showed how to genres are incompatible. This is what I was looking for.

__Graphics__ I love this style. Why is this so rare. Also does the Unity WebGL player support this many cubes? Nice!

__Audio__ Music and effects were pretty decent. But the voice, while low in quality was really awesome, and very rare for a LD entry.

__Humor__ I really liked how there was a comment on everything. X this X that. And the actual effects of X spawning an evil enemy when killing the potion, really nice.

__Mood__ The mood was really nice, and the transition between Astroids and Zelda(?) felt really great.

__Overall__ Very well done. I don't have much to add.

nebbishhacker 2018-04-29 01:40

@abductedPlatypus It took a bit of tuning to get it to handle that many cubes... I also got a boost by using a particle system for rendering instead of individual mesh renderers

almax 2018-04-30 18:05

I loved this! The visuals and audio were cute and blowing stuff up into little cube was incredibly satisfying. My only gripe is the controls felt a bit too floaty, I struggled to get through door sometimes and it put a dampener on the fun. Otherwise awesome entry! Great work :)

elmeri 2018-04-30 20:23

Blowing stuff in little cubes is very satisfying, thank you ! The voice was great in the beginning, very engaging and fun ! But as I went down the dungeon it began to be slightly annoying, as I couldn't see a real progress in the game. The camera moves so much that when I finally died, I didn't want to try again :/ maybe a checkpoint would be nice. It was still very fun to play. I think that zooming out the camera would help a great deal. And of course, if it was easier to move around, I would have try to end the game ! Great work :)

bryyrt 2018-05-03 01:00

exploding everything in this game is satisfying, and it is generally fun. The humor was good but some jokes were a little forced. there was no difficulty because no health, but that makes the game a relaxed experience, so its not that bad. Overall, pretty fun game

shivur 2018-05-04 23:00

Very funny. Maybe diminishing the inertia.

devemil 2018-05-05 00:36

Reaaally funny, great humor!

paveldlouhy 2018-05-06 18:58

Funny and polished game! Good work.

sheldonzs 2018-05-07 03:07

Hahaha, how fun. I loved the poor farie's dismay at your inability to properly use any of the dungeon items! Rotating was a bit tricky, too slow on a short burst, and too dramatic if you held the side arrows too long. Great job! Check out our game too, combination rhythm game and dating sim.

scott-steffes 2018-05-07 05:53

Amazing game! The voxel destruction effect was really satisfying. At the very end I was mashing X and it took me back to the main menu and into a new game before I realized what I was doing. Maybe the key to take you back to the main menu should be something other than X. Or maybe it should just take you back to the main menu after some time has passed. I hope to see more of your work at the next Ludum Dare!

bbaf 2018-05-14 03:28

Press X to disappoint the companion :D
