Funny at first but really not much to the game. Performance drops severely after a few seconds.

djibess 2018-08-14 01:12

I would have enjoyed the game a lot if you changed the main character of unity and used different buttons

zicboy 2018-08-14 05:08

This game looks awesome! Enjoyed it :D

paulo-augusto 2018-08-14 12:25

@firebelley thanks for the criticism, I intend to take this project forward so it is good to have this feedback. @djibess i'm going to work on a main character for this game. Thanks for the note.

paulo-augusto 2018-08-14 12:26

@zicboy thanks man

nam-nguyen 2018-08-14 22:39

Couldn't rate, No file for MacOS :/ Check out mine! thanks!

paulo-augusto 2018-08-14 22:42

I'll see your yes @nam-nguyen. I'll arrange the project in mac.

darkguardsman 2018-08-14 22:52

Really hard performance and seems to be no way to get to the end. However, I had a good laugh so you got points :)

rilifon 2018-08-14 22:56

300mb for a jam game is a bit too much, and I ahd some problems to use the UI buttons. Still, congratulations for the first game jam entry! Hope to see you in more jams ^^

iokin 2018-08-14 22:57

I wanna play your game, but I have only Linux Mint on my machine. Couldn't rate you. See our game (it's multi-platform written on LibGDX)

danielbarca 2018-08-14 22:57

¡The graphics are really amazing! And you definitely did get on the spot with the theme of the Ludum Dare, but the gameplay turns really hard after the first second :sweat_smile: I may be doing something wrong but looks like the game runs out of space too fast.

george-lancaster 2018-08-14 22:58

I like the idea, but I tried to get past the second ball emitter and couldn't do it. Also, my reset button and the menu button didn't seem to work all of the time.

I think if you had a little extra time it could have been a show stopper.

paulo-augusto 2018-08-14 23:08

@darkguardsman @rilifon @iokin @danielbarca @george-lancaster thanks guys. I will be providing a linux version. Thanks for the comments and criticisms, I will improve my game and post here again. I'll definitely be in the next jams.

loadsofmana 2018-08-14 23:27

I managed to get stuck in a spot without the help of the balls lol

nam-nguyen 2018-08-14 23:33

Managed to play the game. There are some button collision problem: cant go back to menu from game, the collider for reset and pause button can only be clicked on the left hand side. There is a section by the end of level 1 that once I fall into, there is no way back - a success troll LOL. I experienced some performance issue as well, I think you went a little overboard with the game, especially my computer is really not liking the fire at level 3 haha. Then thats good to have performance options. Good work putting everything together!

huskitch 2018-08-14 23:34

Could use some more polish

michael-feldman 2018-08-14 23:43

Nice game. Feels like a proper troll video game. The kind you would trick your friends into playing at school. Me and my friends would play Spank the monkey. Basically a 2-3 second video game experience, just for the lols.

Nowadays with iphone casual games: they expect more of your time, but what you have here is nice. Great for a jam. Easy to download, easy to understand. Nice job.

swini 2018-08-14 23:46

Yea i also think that the Unity Character should be canged. then the game would be more interesting becaus every character has something speacial in itXD But i like it

planetgames 2018-08-14 23:51

lol is there any way to beat this game!

lawnjovi 2018-08-15 00:07

This game crashed my video card before I could play it o.O

2018-08-15 00:47

Pretty big download size.

paulo-augusto 2018-08-15 02:32

@loadsofmana @nam-nguyen @huskitch @michael-feldman @swini @planetgames @lawnjovi thank you for playing and giving feedback from you. Yes, I have to pass the game, I tested before posting and some people also tested. Yesterday I had done the panel for adjusting graphics, I think it is already there is in the initial menu when it enters the game. It really got really heavy but I'll figure out ways to optimize it. I'll polish the game to make it better. And about the bugs on the buttons I will see them tomorrow to be correcting. Thank you for everyone's feedback.

candlebird 2018-08-15 04:54

The best thing you can do to make your game run smoother is to delete any/all of the default content that you're not using. I can tell you're using unreal, so when you package your game, everything comes with it. If you're super set on keeping the massive amount of physics objects, you can at least lock their x (or y) axis and spawn much less to fill up the space. Overall, I can see the idea you're going for and with enough effort, (and youtube tutorials) it might just work!

teo-miklethun 2018-08-15 05:03

Nice game, but I feel like winning just requires getting lucky with how the balls hit you though. Is that right, or is there more skill to it than I realized?

william-kluegel 2018-08-15 05:36

I couldn't play your game because I got the error: "Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting..." Might be my end, as I'm on my laptop but thought you should know in case other people have the same error.. I'll give it a go on my desktop when I'm back home in a couple days :)

popdaddygames 2018-08-15 05:44

Getting some issues-- you did a good job though! :)

darkmonkey-inc 2018-08-15 05:56

Not really much of a game, a lot of stuff doesn't really work. Still liked the concept

awix 2018-08-15 08:25

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

reax 2018-08-15 18:10

I'm trying to play this game, but it crashes while loading the main menu. No log files. Win10x64, i7, 16GB DDR4, GTX1070.

Let me know if you have fixed it, so I can come back and rate it!

paulo-augusto 2018-08-15 18:43

@candlebird @teo-miklethun @william-kluegel @popdaddygames @darkmonkey-inc @awix @reax thanks for the comments, I will correct the errors and update here very soon. Many people have come and told me about the bugs of the buttons, I thought I had solved it but apparently it was not. I am writing down everything you comment on for me to improve this project and use it in the near future, are very important points that really deserve attention.

mapt04 2018-08-16 11:05

Lol UE character

andrei9 2018-08-17 06:46

You did a good job though! :thumbsup:

koala-squad 2018-08-19 16:43

Good job! The art is pretty good, and the idea is nice. The buttons are almost unusable, working only occasionally. Plus, the game is DEFINITELY a troll. It's almost impossible. However, the mechanics do work for what it is, and the audio isn't half bad. Good job, and keep coding!

Cheers! - The Koala Squad

mykola 2018-08-20 10:35

Great graphics, funny idea, but couldn't restart because the buttons don't work. Good try though, keep it up! :smile:

mr-madcat 2018-08-20 10:38

Ouch. Beat level 2, but man you might want to turn down the fountain of objects in the beginning. It feels like pure luck getting anywhere and afterwards it is really simple platforming.

The idea seems nice though. Maybe with some fine tuning you can get it to just the right level of trolling in the bgeining of the levels.

Good luck with continuing on this project. I hope you can turn it into something great.

ratherjolly 2018-08-22 03:41

Wow! Nothing like a a bit of a stress test for my laptop! Impressive physics control and a fitting match for the theme. Well done!

folex70 2018-08-23 21:43

good game, beaultiful graphs. Congrats for this work

zeu31 2018-09-03 03:10

Interesting idea! I think that it has potential.

Good job! =)

hellsquirrel 2018-09-04 13:54

Nice work!
