i think i made a mistake with those rats... they dont look really good.

9ryu108 2018-08-14 10:25

i love the thème but ist too short ^^

edgelord 2018-08-14 10:29

Thanks for your feedback, do you think more keys to collect would do it?

edgelord 2018-08-14 11:03

@9ryu108

20180814190735.png More keys....And then?...

s0rax 2018-08-14 11:16

Your graphics are cool, but the game is really short, maybe with more level and other gun or with ennemies that can attacked you, the game should be better :) But it's still a good entries

edgelord 2018-08-14 11:51

@o2o, I'm sorry if your experience with our game wasn't that good, maybe you want to try it out with the latest patches? @s0rax, The game should be more fun now, thanks for all your feedback, that helped a lot

loooneliest 2018-08-14 11:56

@s0rax thx :3 those rats are pretty shitty but im pretty proud of the grey walls. i think they look pretty nice

o2o 2018-08-14 12:06

I think if I collect more keys that will happen special things.but nothing... I like that robot.It's cute!background is also COOL

loooneliest 2018-08-14 12:14

@o2o thx :3 theres an easter egg hidden in the background, maybe you find them. but i think its not that funny if you are not familiar with youtube germany... and tbh its our first real video game and we kinda ran out of time at the end...

thank you for the feedback ^^

I feel like a 60mb zip might be a lot for people with not so good internet like me, though I don't really mind downloading for a couple of minutes. The game is really cool and i think you did a great job putting it up. gg!

raffe 2018-08-14 13:58

By putting it up I meant like doing the game, not publishing if u know what I mean xD :laughing:

edgelord 2018-08-14 14:12

@raffe Thanks for feedback! I don't really know how I could make that zip smaller, there's only the start script and the jar included. Maybe next time we will make the images smaller, we don't use their full resolution in the game

tulipekoni 2018-08-14 14:24

I love the graphics. they look cool. I think that the game was a bit difficult at start (might be just me tho).

I think that having a bit higher fps wouldn't hurt. It's a little hard. solid entry tho. good job!

edgelord 2018-08-14 14:34

@tulipekoni Thank you! I fixed the FPS to 60 because of older hardware wasn't able to play it lag-free with unfixed FPS, maybe it's a bit choppy because of the play movement, idk. But thanks fro the feedback!

loooneliest 2018-08-14 16:58

@tulipekoni thx man. ^^ its nice to hear that my images arent that bad

winnie33 2018-08-14 22:29

Just here to say that I played your game because of the cute little robot :).

Great game, if it was a bit longer it would be even better! :smile:

loooneliest 2018-08-14 23:09

@winnie33 thanks for the feedback :3 its our first real game so its not the best at all. but im glad you like it ^^

awix 2018-08-15 07:20

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

edgelord 2018-08-15 10:31

@awix do you mean the music of the sfx?

miracl 2018-08-15 11:17

Good game, this is pretty much it, I would have appreciate more sfx though ! Good work

jerryletehen 2018-08-15 12:08

just like!

aterlamia 2018-08-15 16:32

Cool art, sound was a bit loud but also good. A bit short bit i liked it controls might need a bit of work because aiming seemed a bit hard to me.

outstar 2018-08-15 16:43

Hey, just played your game! I think the graphics were pretty nice, especially the room and player itself. Rats were not that bad, they serve the purpose :) The only thing I didn't like much is the mechanic of shooting - I can't hold space to do it, I can't press it rapidly to do it, I have to time it in a pretty uncomfortable way to shoot the most bullets. Except for that, it was fine! Good luck!

loooneliest 2018-08-15 16:46

@outstar yep, i noticed that too. we got a few problems in the gameplay but im glad you still had fun :D

edgelord 2018-08-15 17:27

@outstar, yeah, I'm not proud of those shoot mechanics, but this was the first I used my own library [sjgl](https://github.com/edgelord314/sjgl) in a real game, so there were some problems.

isubka 2018-08-15 17:32

Funny art, congrats! :) Probably it need a bit more feedback (for example, when hitting enemies)

edgelord 2018-08-15 17:39

@isubka, thanks for the feedback, do you mean soething like a camera-shake? I will defenetly remember that when I make the next game, but I am using a very basic enigne (actually my own, written in java , sjgl) and with it, I can't make gfx. But one question: Which enemies do you mean? In our game are no enemies.

isubka 2018-08-15 17:55

@edgelord I was talking about the rats :) Some soft camera shake would be great, yes. Anyway, knowing this is created in your own engine makes it impressive! It's awesome!

edgelord 2018-08-15 18:06

@isubka, thank you very much :v:

loooneliest 2018-08-15 19:44

@isubka thx mate :3

major-sauce 2018-08-21 19:03

Nice graphics. I was a bit shocked because the Music was really, really, really loud but that probably kinda depends on your volume settings... Anyways, a bit to short and quite easy, I tried it 3 times and won all of them. Nice game for 72 hours :v:

edgelord 2018-08-22 10:31

@major-sauce, thanks for the feedback. I am not using any Engine like unity or Game Maker but my own Java library and I havn't figured out how to change sound volume in Java but I probably could have exported the Music a bit less loud, but as you said, 72h aren't that long for taking care of such a small issue... XD

anubhav-kashyap 2018-08-22 11:25

I like the idea of this game and it fits the theme well. However, you should add more levels. The gameplay is also very nice. Had fun playing it! :thumbsup:

hexkritor 2018-08-24 17:58

Good game

Pluses

+ Short game + Nice graphics

Minuses

- Weird sounds - Hard to shoot mouse - Too short game

edgelord 2018-08-25 10:16

@hexkritor , Thanks for the feedback, that's a very nice and clean list, thanks! It's kind of funny that there is "Short game" in Pluses and "**Too** short game" in Minuses, but I now what you mean. The sounds my be weird because they where one of the last things we made, I think an hour or so before realease and they are actually not created by us. @loooneliest took them from the internet and I did not know which Sound he meant for which action and so I just guessed. And the thinks with the shooting is, that I am using only my own java library and I have to fix the input, thats already on my TODO-List. Thanks for that quality feedback :)

edgelord 2018-08-27 10:47

Hey @aterlamia @outstar @hexkritor I fixed the keyboard input, shooting is now way better, you can hold down space and the keyboard was generally improved in my engine thanks to your feedback. Maybe you want to give the game another try?
