GODZILLA FOOT JUST IN TIME

SOUNDTRACK ALSO!

It would have been much nicer if the intro camera pan and countdown was either a lot shorter, or didn't play on reset. I ended up giving up on the shooting level because of having to sit through that scene.

Fantastic environment and great use of the theme, the music gave a lovely vibe and I thoughtit was great how you typed to use the menus.

sun-parlor-studios 2018-04-24 13:48

@hi-im-greg Awh shoot, we forgot to mention you can skip the introduction by pressing spacebar ):

Great Idea, the later stages got very hard though :) I couldn't figure out what move to do. A suggestion would be to maybe have a 'hint' command after resetting the game 2 or more times :)

Awesome game! A bit heavy on my PC, but it was fun. Good job! :)

Hey all! Absolutely love the game! Really simple idea that's executed brilliantly. The game hits that sweet spot of being slightly frustrating but also incredibly enjoyable. Nice work! :smile:

@sun-parlor-studios & @riko-ophorst , well done - incredible game and use of theme. Was an extremely fun game and would definitely be stuck playing it for hours and hours if there were more levels ^^

imanol-pina 2018-04-24 15:37

Good idea, but it´s very dificult xD

nuclearfriend 2018-04-24 15:45

Neat concept and executed well! Great graphics and sound. Maybe a tad difficult, I got stuck for quite a long time on the crate/electricity level. :(

nicolas-tapia 2018-04-24 15:46

Very nice game. Maybe too difficult but the art style is to fun. Its all yours? i invited you to check it my game too. Ty https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/warren-of-love

Great idea and great execution! Did not think about combination of a typing game with a platformer-action of all things. Also love that you took it the ENTIRE way! Not only using the typing input for the character/gameplay, but for even the menus etc.

I am however, a very slow typer, and I got completely stuck on a level because i could not Turn then Jump to get to the next platform. I would have liked a setting to slow down the robot, or maybe be able to type what speed I want to go at any one moment.

A very nice looking game as well! The sounds where a bit repetitive and loud on the robot engine, but other then that It all fits very well with the style. A great entry to theme! Cheers.

@nicolas-tapia The art assets are all made from scratch, only the audio is not ours, but taken from the internet from various sources

tajamsoft 2018-04-24 16:26

The art looks really good, cool mix of hand-drawn and lighting effects. (My potato PC struggled a bit though). The typing sound feels really satisfying!

GOTY 10/10 THE MOST HARD GAME IN ZA WARUDO!

john-timora 2018-04-24 18:15

Really awesome game it just take a min for my computer to process that I typed. So it doesn't react right away a slower character would help or a longer distance between pitfalls.

gipzo 2018-04-24 19:20

Nice game, but really needs `stop` command :wink:

pickens-inc 2018-04-24 19:33

I have determined that the level designer is a sadist. Despite this, it is the best entry I have played yet! Compelling gameplay from a very solid premise, it has an addicting quality that makes it very satisfying to beat a level. Thanks for suggesting it to me on stream, and definitely have ambitions for this game, develop it more and make some money!

jump jump jump look I can do it so fast now

sun-parlor-studios 2018-04-24 19:38

@pickens-inc The problem is that you need to do a "turn jump" ;) Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate them a lot <3

sun-parlor-studios 2018-04-24 19:39

@gipzo That would only lengthen your execution by so much when you have to start riding with something like 'go' again haha. Glad you liked the game!

langotriel 2018-04-24 23:45

The game suffers from a few classic game design flaws such as artificial difficulty. I think if the level design and introduction was a little more methodical in nature and allowed the player to soak in the challenge ahead a little more, it could make for a fun puzzle game. Visuals are top notch and although audio is serviceable, it clashes with the visual feedback.

croewens 2018-04-25 09:11

I initially clicked on this game because I also used the typing genre but stayed longer then I expected due to the really difficult levels. Great entry!

2018-04-25 16:53

This game is equal parts frustrating and addictive! I am now a pro at typing jump, turn and use lmao Here's a clip of me playing it on my LD41 stream last night! https://clips.twitch.tv/UglyConsideratePastaAMPTropPunch

radow 2018-04-29 13:58

This game is HARD. I'd say it is a bit inconvenient to play, but that is something that applies to almost every game that truly went with the theme and yours most certainly did. The game also never seems unfair, since it is purely my own lack of coordination, typespeed etc. that makes it hard. The Graphics music and overall polish are amazing for a jam game. Great job!

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-05-09 23:28

I play with great difficulty, but very well finished. Adore the graphics. Congratulations for the game!

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

Other things besides studying are also needed in life, and I don't have time to study, so I found [history thesis topics](https://essaywriter.org/history-thesis-topics), where any written work that I need during my studies is easily done.
