Was great chatting during the jam and the game is rather amusing :D Nice Job you two!
Experienced quite a few glitches, timer keeps going to -1.59 so the game never ends, and when the game went back to the menu it flashed on and off for about five seconds. When the game restarts the controls don't respond (maybe a bool not reset?)
Wasn't immediately obvious I had to find the entrance to the supermarket. How do you know where to find the items? Is it just random?
@madbeagle Seems a last minute bug made it's way into the build, we'll work on getting that resolved before the deadline. Thanks for the feedback, we hope you'll check it out again in the future.
Update: Yup, found the bug. Patching now, and getting a new build uploaded.
I encountered some bugs. I got stuck in a half destroyed shelf and tried to quit via pause screen. After starting again, I couldn't move at all, so I had to reload the page. On my next try, I could replicate this problem. Maybe something deactivates upon using the quit button? However, on my third try the game went through smoothly, till the scoreboard, were the webplayer crashed after entering my name due to memory overload. Well...
Let's talk about the good parts!
The idea is hilarious, as a nightowl living next to a supermarket I can totally relate! Graphics, animation, music, setting - it's all amazing and conjures the best kind of goofy mood. It's a lot of fun and was totally worth reloading it 2 times! Love it.
I think this is definitely a cool game! Love the game art. Must have taken some time to put together. Although the concept is quite simple, I think it turned out to be a fun game! The player movement is a bit slow for me.
First things first:(the game is made in 3 days, so it happens) Screenshot (234).png
The game is hella fun!! when you can destroy enviroment you don't need anytthing else for fun. the choppyness was a headache...but still good.
I saw some posters were in hindi, think someone is from India :)
I wanna KNOW which game engine is used??? GIMME ANSWER!(Edit: seems like LWJGL)
Clever game. Hard to play at first, but the difficulty decreases as you understand the mecanics. Good job !
This is such a great idea :smiley: I wasn't able to get all the groceries, but I did bump into the grandpa 4 times.... Fun game, good job!
Really enjoyed the game! I just needed one more oat crunch. I'm curious to see how you made the voxelated destructable environment. Lots of individual voxels? The gameplay was fun but simple, and the old ladies were annoying as intended :smile: However, the scoreboard seems a bit glitched out. The first time I ran through the game, I got a score of 5000. The second time I got more of the items on the list, but I got a score of 0 and no option to submit to the scoreboard. Other than than that, I really enjoyed this game! Excited to see what you do next time.
@5n1p3r-4r73m1s Also, in the description it says that the game is made in Unity, and it has the Unity splash screen.
Be careful with zombies!
I really like this idea! I love voxel games and the graphics therefore are a big plus for me! One thing I would've changed is to make everything a bit more colorful.. Not sure how to express what I mean, but to me the colors seem a little under-saturated It would be nice if the player movement could be a tad faster, this would add up to the time-limited feeling that should be achieved To not make it too easy then the time could just be a little less BUt overall a nice game!
@cozmic Thanks for the feedback. You can purchase an upgrade from the upgrade shop that allows you to move faster, but it will cost you in available time. I'll definitely consider your feedback on the colour brightness for when I eventually get around to making a post-jam version. (not this week though, I need to sleep and there are other people's games to play!)
Pretty fun! Very laggy though. I think you might want to put the entrance a little closer to the start so people know where to go first. I liked the art style and the physics of the carts, and the interaction with other shoppers. good stuff!
I had fun playing this game ! funny music ! maybe the list of item take too much place on the sreen, nice job !
Awesome game, I enjoyed the graphics and the destruction But initially I had a hard time figuring it out how to start as the player wasn't brought to the entrance and I think the camera could use a little work as I sometimes couldn't see the area and never found the last item. I also think it would also be cool if the items were place in random locations so they wont appear in the same place.
Things I liked: - The destructible terrain, although it didn't seem to impact the gameplay, made me go "oooh" and was a standout feature - The sound design having the auto checkout "unexpected item" - The concept and ergo the game loop, since they build off a game show, are super understandable - The voxel art was nice - I'm surprised you managed to get so intricate in the time given
Things that could be improved: - Odd random bugs, one I had that wasn't mentioned above was that when I visited the bottom right corner of the shop, I started sliding to the right and couldn't stop it, so if I stood still I was always moving... - When you go to the bottom of the shop, the wall re-appears over your view - maybe look into a making that wall toggle semi-transparent once you're in?
Overall fun and well-realised :)
I've tried to play but the game crashes at the beginning
That old lady...
It reminds me of our own game!!
Anyway, I like yours more haha. Good job! Love the graphics.
Yeah game crashing for me at the start too so can't rate. Seems to happen if I touch the windows when I got to get a trolley
@frostdragonliz Could you please explain what you're doing to get it to crash? I've not been able to replicate the issue on my end.
Nice looking game!
@historymaker118 Just come back to it now and the problem doesn't seem to be there now. May just be a Unity issue
Great work on the visuals, love the supermarket and the destructability of the environment. Super cute. I like the old people slowin me down too. I ain't got time for this, granny!!
My favorite part was sending the carts smashing around. I couldn't quite figure out how to get better at the actual game, e.g. finish my shopping list. I just couldn't find everything. A little more straightforward sense of what to do and how to play would make it more of a game... but it's fun to just mess with as is.
Be careful young man... Fun game! Maybe the "Enter door" should be closer to the cashier so we dont have to walk that much to enter the supermarket. Overall a solid game indeed! GOOD JOB!
Really fun ! Good idea but not really fit with the theme "Your life is currence" for me. Nice submit !
Fun game and a good game idea. Couldn't play it in fullscreen, maybe because of my browser. Graphics is good and combined with the music it creates a good atmosphere. Well done.
Nice game, special mention for the destructive stuff , it's a very nice touch !
The entrance should be closer, it was a bit confusing the first time.
Screw that old ladie :)
I didn't understand how this game works, sometimes I randomly got items on my list, but I didn't see a way for me to intentionally get it. However, completely destroying the supermarket was fun!
fun game, great job :)
Nice audio and graphics. In my opinion, to increase re-playability, you could randomly arrange items around the store or even generate a random shopping list at every approach.
Nice game! Kept me playing until I finally made a high score ;-) The music was really an addition to the gameplay, without it I would not have enjoyed the game!
Things I was really missing: - introduction the game objective - help on when to use the interact key - a large display support. When clicking on the enlarge button, the game did not scale up
@cee-dee thank you for the feedback! We didn't really have time to implement a more explicit tutorial into the game so tried to make it as intuitive as possible (run around collecting items, get to the checkout and leave before time runs out) but you're right that it isn't initally clear. We'll certainly have a good think about how to better turorialise the gameplay for the next iteration. On the subject of the 'large display support' there is an option in the in-game menu (under graphics) to toggle fullscreen on. For some reason the itch.io page fullscreen button that gets added doesn't work :shrug: There should be a prompt come up when you get near something that can be interacted with (a little speech bubble with the letter F in it) but if there are any missing it would be good to know so I can fix it for the post-jam build.
I'm glad you had enough fun to keep coming back to it, I'll certainly try yours when I can.
Mmaybe you should add a tutorial, higlight usable items etc... Game was pretty laggy on my computer, i dont know why
But its a good game, the idea is quite simple but is really nice ! Good job !
Loved the destructible level and the general mayhem. Also sound and music are appropriately funny
Nice game I really enyojed playing :) I loved the Audio first game I rated 5star in that so far ;) A couple things, I personally did not like: 1.The walking speed felt verry slow imo. I'd have made it faster with maybe less of a timer. 2. The old people stopping you even if you made sure to keep quite a distance. I would have reduced the trigger distance of that. But those are personal choices more than anything
Very cool that the level was destructive, but it seemed like I couldn't ever walk through the holes I made? I also had an issue with the camera popping out of the store and showing the outside wall when I was far enough south. The ambient sound was nice but maybe a little loud.
The game didn't scale up in full-screen for me, but I think that might be some sort of Unity Web Player issue?
I wasn't expecting the carts to destroy everything :laughing: Really fun entry
**THE GOOD** The graphics are pretty good and they fit the gameplay. Level destruction was a good touch.
**THE BAD** The speed upgrade was a necessity to play, otherwise the player is way too slow. The old ladies that stopped you when you bumped into them were a little bit annoying as they took control away from the player. The movement felt a little bit buggy at times (felt like I was slowed down for some time until I moved around in a certain way and gained back speed). Some items were obscured behind shelves and the main entrance wall had clipping issues, making it difficult to see inside if close to the entrance wall.
**THE NEUTRAL** I am unsure about the music. On one hand, it has an Indian touch to it, but then how does it fit in a supermarket setting? Perhaps something more calm, elevator vibe might have been better.
Overall, good entry but requires a lot of adjustments, bug fixes and balancing.
Keep going!
Héhéhé it's funnny ! I spent time to destroy all the 3D :D
I loved the grannies.
The game seems really funny, but it's very complicated to play for people like me who do not have a QWERTY keyboard. I really like being able to destroy everything.
@kaiomoi you can always use the arrow keys in place of WASD if you don't have a standard qwerty layout
Indeed ... -_-'.The game seems really funny, ~~but it’s very complicated to play for people like me who do not have a QWERTY keyboard.~~ I really like being able to destroy everything.
I'm not sure about those upgrades. I didn't really need them once i realized where to find thinks.
The Physics in the game felt great and the destructible enviroment was fun to play with, but I don't know if it fits the game. It's a great mechanic to build upon on anyways.
Keep it up guys!
I don't really understand what's goning on XD But it was quite nice expierience. Good luck!
Thank you for submitting your game to be played on my stream!
Once the stream is finished you can find the video here: https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos If you want to know when it was played you can find your game in the queue here: https://tinyurl.com/y5rdokvp
Quite fun. Loved the destructible environment, would have loved to have pressed 'f' and wheeled around on a trolley. Very simple to get to grips with after playing once. Front wall of the shop appears over the screen though if you come back towards the entrance so was bumping into grandmas without being able to see where I was going. Good at style and sounds!
Quite funny, I'm in the highscore now ^^
So hard to find fooood. That bananananananana was quite tricky.
I liked this game! It's a fun, physics adventure! The crashes as you threw your shopping cart into the isles were especially satisfying.
A nice game, with good artstyle, gameplay, mechanics and destructive terrain, I had a good couple of minutes playing it, great work!
Destroying stuff with the shopping carts is really fun. I love the blocky art style. It was a little unclear what each of the upgrades do and getting stopped every time you hit a shopper gets annoying, but otherwise it's a creative and fun game.
