@nessa I've done all the sound effects myself ... you can see that on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/projectmakers, in the last video at about 4:17:00 :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/296812316
Cool idea to avoid thing you normally would pick up! It's is tempting to pick up these shiny crystals.
Some thing I noticed:
- On death plays the death sound multiple times and you don't restart on death, would be nice with a restart button,
- hide mouse pointer while in a game,
- if you jump while sliding, you jump super short.
- Smaller collision on pickups, so that the collision is smaller then what it looks. (generally, you want smaller collisions then it looks on hazards, and bigger collisions good pickups)
- The sound effects are a little annoying. When you have voices there's usually good to have 5-10 variants, so you don't hear the same version every time. Especially when the sound effect plays for a core mechanic.
Nice art, I especially like the black trees in the background.
I tried a solo game, but cool that you got it up with online multiplayer :)
bowawawawa lol nice game
Very nice and funny game :)
I like this game a lot :smile:
Love the style graphics, it's very fun! Boing Boing! The music is nice but the sound effects are much too repetitive.
I have to say those are some funny sounds our hero is making :D
Love the idea of a dwarf riding a unicorn, but there are some major turn offs... After playing for just 30sec, couldn't handle the soundeffect our protagonist made already. The 'boing' s fine, but the barfing..? Also, it would be nice to have a 'restart' option when you die and not having to go back to the menu and start a new game to continue playing. The 'storm' is also not that threathening either..
Good thing the humor kind of saves it. I'd be interested to see how it turns out, if you plan to rework on it
Just played your game on our live stream. Was fun playing but I think you missed the theme a bit
Played and rated :D But i was very bad at the game ^^
@firesplash-entertainment I thought the theme was "Running out of space", well, and the goal is that your inventory is not getting full ... so the goal should be met. :)
yes guess thats a question of the point of view :D Anyways nice game!
Yes the sound is very loud, but I think you can put on a patch with an update log saying that you tuned that down and leave the original version there too so people can choose to play the version with a patch with the sound or not. Usually if its just a patch for the volume, people wouldn't mind. LD also allows small bug fixes, I guess changing some values wouldnt affect anything, as long as you dont add any features to the game.
Otherwise I think the game was a pretty cool take on the theme, lovely animation and funny sound effects. However when it says matching, I did expect to have another player but there wasnt anyone else. I tried again, still me alone. Is that a feature or a bug? :joy:
Cool unicorn and funny sounds!
