Too bad you didn't finish it. I enjoyed the idea of a piggybank shooting coins. Will it conquer the world? We'll never know. :/

The piggy character is super cute :)

Hey when I launched the game, nothing happened. Not sure if its a problem on my end, but if not then please reply if you fix.

schsam 2019-04-30 04:08

I had the same thing happen as @edshotmachine. Let me know if you fix it!

mahalis 2019-04-30 04:19

@edshotmachine @schsam Nothing happened like it didn’t launch at all, or stuff didn’t happen in the game? The Windows version is 64-bit only—could that be it?

game didn't launch at all

Bummer that you weren't able to finish this. It would be a lot of fun.

@mahalis Same as @edshotmachine.

I liked the idea of piggy bank shooting coins :) I tried the mac version and it run slow

Can't launch it, unfortunately. I do believe something as game-breaking as that is allowed to be fixed after the fact.

I can't launch the game. I am double clicking on Robin.exe and nothing is happening. My PC specs are as follows Ryzen 7 1700, gtx 1080, windows 10 16299 64-bit, 16 GB DDR4 ram.

Couldn't launch the original version unfortunately, so only played the post-jam one.

First of all, I've got exactly the same piggy-bank-shooting-coins-reducing-health idea though with a much simpler setup and uglier graphics, so I was really excited to see your implementation of this idea :slight_smile:

The graphics and animation are trully awesome, make it feel a lot like a real game. Gameplay is fun, although a bit monotonic. Dodging and shooting and going to the next level gets boring quite quickly, even though the variety of enemies make it more diverse. Losing all the coins and being unable to shoot anymore was quite disappointing. So some improvements would help: - being able to get more coins. For instance, in my game I implemented it in a way, that you can borrow more under some interest rate; - some powerups would be nice, like enemies dropping coins and leveling skills/stats in between levels; - dynamic difficulty adjustment: the game gets more challenging (more enemies, stronger enemies, higher damage, faster enemies etc.) the more money you get; - minor remark, I would start from the piramid-like mobs on the first levels, since they are easier to handle. The shooting ones were quite challenging in the beginning; - and of course, some sound would make it more atmospheric.

But overall, great job! Top points for graphics and I really like the idea.

There is no key to move in Main menu after win. the game is really short and simple. the only thing that i really like are the style and the graphic. :hearts:

@mykola It sounds like you thought through your gameplay a lot more thoroughly than I did :) I’m working on another update to the post-jam version that gives you coins when enemies die, and good suggestion on switching the order of enemy introduction around—the turrets are pretty challenging, especially since I didn’t end up adding the dodge ability I was planning for. Thanks for the detailed feedback!
