I'm square, i'm a square ! A fun twin stick shooter with cool graphics effect ! Good job ! (maybe make many area to choose).

attala 2019-04-29 08:15

Fun game. Nice graphics and effects. Some variety would be nice.

mikkeldev 2019-04-29 08:41

This game is actually pretty awesome! You've managed to make a game which gameplay is diverce and extremely additive! I played it for atleast 20 minutes straight where I just messed around! Overall:

Gameplay 10/10, there were no major bugs, I encountered one bug but I couldn't recreate it so I assume it's never gonna happen again! Visuals, 9/10, I love the visuals, though the players and enemies are cubes is not really my thing, but you do manage to make it simplistic and good! Amazing design! Sounds, 9/10 To put it simple, it fits the overall genre of your game, it's competitive and fun! Other, 10/10, you implimented the theme of this gamjam with great success! I love the "motevating quote" stuff when you die, it adds something great to it! Overall I would give this 10/10, you've managed to make a game using some theories in game design which are perfect for this setting!

Good job Danidev!

sukantapatra 2019-04-29 08:42

Nice concept and visuals. Also liked the music too!

memel06 2019-04-29 09:31

Theme was fitted, gameplay was rock solid (0 issues of any type!) graphics minimal but very effective.

I had lots of fun for a couple of minutes, nice entry!

wardetta 2019-04-29 10:28

The game was so much fun and additive, i could see this a nice mobile game. it does remind me of stick fights and these fund games that can also be on steam multiplayer with different levels. loved the graphics and music, enemies and explosives and the idea. overall great job! would just need some skins, levels and more balancing to be ready ;)

arthur-baars 2019-04-29 10:52

I was really curious as to what you would make, and it is really fun to play :) The controls feel very responsive and the VFX is so well done. The music also really fits the game and gets me hyped up. Nicely done!

don-kyniu 2019-04-29 11:05

It's a great game. You can try diffrent playstyles and combination so you can risk and take good weapon, explosive bullets and upgrade like movement speed, but you need to be very carefull and precise if you want to survive long. On other hand,you can just buy basic weapon and try to play safe, what allows you to make more mistakes. Simple, enjoyable game.

One thing i may consider is maybe some kind of crosshair, which will make it easier to aim instead of default mouse cursor, to be honest it was distracting me sometimes :P.

joe-bell 2019-04-29 11:19

While simplistic, the game is entertaining and enjoyable. It suits the theme. Additional work in Play+ time you could turn this into a more detailed game that could be a web app (probs add more weapons, reduce the pushback received when firing the weapons, add new upgrades that alter how the game is played(like life drain as a means of getting health back))

soerenbachnielsen 2019-04-29 11:20

Nice dude! Good job on the game :-D And funny randomly stumbling into your game here, when I actually know who you are!

zubspace 2019-04-29 11:27

Great stuff. Wonderful action game with a lot of variety. The controls are perfect. Physics are interesting. The style is clean and good to read. The effects are crazy!

Best game I played until now. Will sure come back for more!

zondarg 2019-04-29 11:41

Cool. I like bullet hell shooters. Simplistic but good square action. And I really liked the pumping electronic audio track, fits very well. Good job!

dreamer 2019-04-29 12:13

i can,t stop it

shp 2019-04-29 12:16

Great music, solid design, the controls feel a bit floaty at first and I think it cheated me out of my triple jump (only had double) when I first bought it. Fun game

kamikaziuk 2019-04-29 12:18

Fun game for your first entry :)

gideon 2019-04-29 12:24

Wow, great job! Really nice visuals and fx. Liked the music the most, great job!

mantou 2019-04-29 12:38

A cool game!

lyghtningwither 2019-04-29 12:52

Nice game. This concept was probably used for 99% of the games submitted, but the sounds? Great. The graphics are cool, too. Barely any humor, though, but everything else? Solid. Again, very nice!

jk-studio 2019-04-29 12:54

Wow that game has a very nice feel to it.. I really like the detail of the cube rotating while in air. The music is amazing ..gives me a cyberpunk feel very nice :).. but the shoot sound is a bit annoying. So overall very good :thumbsup:

little tip since you are using unity why dont you make a web build it helps giving you more players.

borys 2019-04-29 13:04

Brilliant! Graphics and audio are so cool and an idea and implementation of the gameplay are great! Keep it up!

kuro 2019-04-29 13:12

Okay, this is awesome AF. UI and menus are a bit meh, but the gameplay looks, feels and sounds amazing. I doubt this is your first game, even though it's your first LD. I'm keeping your game for later - for inspiration, and for fun as well. And here I thought Unity's physics was crap.

esben-jensen 2019-04-29 13:16

This is really good fun. The simple graphics fit well into the style and the music and sound effects also add to a complete experience. I like the idea of the central board / seesaw. It makes for some interesting situations. If you want to expand on it, I think a 2 player mode could work well as well. Awesome job!

yahub 2019-04-29 13:27

Really good game. Fun, great looking and... satisfying cam shake :D

purpledartfrog 2019-04-29 13:31

@danidev Veeery nice entry - responsive and easy to "get" - congrats :thumbsup_tone1:

northman64 2019-04-29 13:36

Oh yeah this was good! Fast paced, much fun

matt-pattabhi 2019-04-29 13:53

Hey its dani! Good game and nice explosion effects.

von-vista 2019-04-29 14:12

Very very nice game! When I was formulating the concept for my game, I also had an idea like this one. The graphic style you settled with in this game was really well executed, with responsive controls, sounds, and graphic feedback. Great job!!!

neithernathan 2019-04-29 14:24

Very nice, fun and original

neutron 2019-04-29 14:26

pump + triple jump + explosive

AWESOMEE

niteb 2019-04-29 14:43

Very good controls and enjoyable sound and visual feedback!

rustycrow 2019-04-29 14:44

That music really tied the game well together dude, and you can never go wrong with classic 2D Battle Gameplay :frog:.HighScore.PNG

grewoss 2019-04-29 15:34

Great Entry! i just love 2d shooting games. it's amazing that we both had a similar idea but the execution is so different.

notb 2019-04-29 15:51

Wow really cool, simple graphics brought to life with particles and sound and great gameplay. Upgrade system fits theme nicely. Great job.

zax 2019-04-29 16:23

this is really cool I like the visuals , well made !!

suchista 2019-04-29 16:31

The gameplay is solid, I like the diversity in arenas and weapons. The squishing of characters looks weird when they are rotated. Falling off of the arena can be a bit frustrating when you don't see the boundaries. As a whole, fun game! And of course, I love those particles!

eldemarkki 2019-04-29 19:00

Nice and addictive gameplay and great visuals! Also if you chose triple-jump at start, it cost 15 hp instead of 10

eyedromeda 2019-04-29 19:09

A great arcade game with loads of replayability. The controls feel just right and I love the "slow motion" feel. The graphics and sound are really well done as well. A few more upgrade options and local multiplayer would truly take the game beyond LD.

stefan-jovanovic 2019-04-29 21:32

Really fun game! Loved the minimalistic art style. Keep up the great work! Best of luck on development and publishing of Off the Sticks!

youpeoples 2019-04-29 22:17

Very nice feel. Controls feel nice. I opted for a sword but my sword shot bullets. So that was strange.. but other than that gud job.

sciman101 2019-04-30 00:12

This gives me a vibe like something between Thomas was alone and Stick fight the game, and I *love* it for that. It's really satisfying to play, and you blended in the theme in a way that doesn't feel out of place, but doesn't get in the way of the main mechanic, either.

That said, I'd tone down the post processing a little. Especially in the menus, it can be kind of extreme. Also maybe add some limits to the rotating platforms. Other than that, good job!

edshotmachine 2019-04-30 03:21

Really great game you got here. Graphics are simplistic, but the vfx make up for it. We both went the route of upgrades costing health, but our games are so different. Game feels nice, but some of the effects are a little to heavy. An all round great entry.

wubbaduck 2019-04-30 04:39

Wow, I spent way too much time playing this game! Love it! It seems like there may be a triple jump bug that locked movement. But that was the only issue I found. I'd love to see this turned into a multiplayer game :thumbsup:

zeaga 2019-04-30 05:23

Insanely good. I love the audio/visuals. Has a somewhat Shellshock feel to it.

furtive-pygmy 2019-04-30 07:40

Really addictive, wish there were more levels! Everything was nice in the game!

henanboy 2019-04-30 08:48

I had so much fun jumping around and blasting things! Really awesome entry!

sadzanenyama 2019-04-30 08:56

I really liked how the UI glowed. The audio and music were good too! It as a bit easy in the beginning though as I could just spawn camp the enemies haha. Overall really good though.

centauri 2019-04-30 09:39

Super fun and nice game. There are many possibilities and the graphics and animations are simple but amamzing. When off the sticks is finished, i wouldn't mind a full version with level and more :smiley:

flamus 2019-04-30 09:40

Cool game, had nice time blasting enemies with bullets and swords. First time i played it i got the idea of local versus mode. Good job!

procezz 2019-04-30 09:41

Really fun and satisfying game! Really liked the combat aswell. The weapons feel overall pretty satisfying to use, except the sword. Maybe it could use some animations, and screenshake. Overall I really like this game! Great job :smiley:

nandon 2019-04-30 09:54

Good game feel

alexfsmirnov 2019-04-30 11:01

Great graphics (I like the glow effect and animation of jumping), fun gameplay, very cool! I wish it was possible to upgrade your weapons mid-game somehow. Anyway, nice job!

deathbysnail 2019-04-30 12:03

LOVE your particles and bloom!

Keeping this one for later. I feel perhaps some weapon balancing is in order - maybe make the sword reflect bullets to make up for the high cost?

lukas-tamayo 2019-04-30 13:08

Game is awesome, the music is nice, the graphism are nice especialy everything that is FX, I like the diversity of the gameplay made by buying or not stuff at the begining. I wonder how you did such tight controls so fast, it took me hours to do mine... And also a way to do many weapons and different anymore, you sure did work a lot on that game in a tiny window of time and I'm impressed !

skylark721 2019-04-30 13:57

Very addicting! The mechanics are so nice and polished. I love the movement, the way you "roll" off the edges and everything. Just amazing all around!

oscar-onix 2019-04-30 14:35

Really cool game,very juicy , thanks for your work

anstabo 2019-04-30 17:26

When i installed it and saw the first screenshots, i thought to myself, one of those games again. Then i was stunned by the gameplay, the music sells it so well. Great content for a compo, i would've loved a rogue-like mechanic.

phillserrazina 2019-04-30 17:57

Well, hello, hello, Dani, nice to see you here! :) Congratulations on your first jam! It looks awesome! There were some bugs with the buttons (which I'm guessing happened because of some configs of TMP_Pro) but the game played awesomely, although it made me hate myself everytime I died, ahah

nitropictures 2019-04-30 19:25

Really cool game! My best score was 4750 but I'm working on it! And I love your Videos! Great Job!

n-one 2019-04-30 19:59

greate game dude! It was really funny to play and it fits very good with the theme! Waiting for see how you do the game in your channel ^^

gward2489 2019-04-30 21:23

nice work! cool game!

oivin-f 2019-04-30 21:26

Rockin soundtrack!

soggybreadhands 2019-05-01 01:47

nice work, great implementation with the theme and makes for a fun, addictive, simplistic entry, best entry I've seen so far, keep up the good work!

ivanpavlov 2019-05-01 11:38

Pretty good effects. I wonder if these visual effects are custom shaders? Controls are very responsive. One thing I am not really appreciate is those comments after the play. I find most of them offensive to a player

jofersgames 2019-05-01 13:29

Great job, wonderful game :)

oblivion 2019-05-01 20:12

Neat little game there :) I had quite a bit of fun! Loved the background track :D

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:51

Dude, I love your game ! And your videos !

schrunkin 2019-05-02 13:26

So much fun! Incredibly polished both game-play and game-juice wise. It was clear how the theme played and it made so much sense to make the trade off at the start of the game. An accomplishment!

gerardb 2019-05-03 13:22

Hi Dani. Glad to see you keep on killing it. Really fun game! Congrats and see you around ;)

mashupgames 2019-05-03 14:37

Nice game. Very simple graphics, but it worked well.

humanos 2019-05-03 15:16

Seems really nice overall, Keep it up with the Stick guys Epic Adventure

mika-la-grand 2019-05-03 16:19

Hi Dani, I guess we're all plebs at some point. I quite liked your game, though it would be nice if the player can also jump with w or up arrow. I guess now back to that adventure game with the ragdoll walking animations that you're working on!

josip 2019-05-03 16:51

Really cool game, well done in such a short time.

gassi-games 2019-05-03 17:35

I don't know if I ever had so much fun being a square before :laughing:

The controls and the gameplay just feel great. But somehow I feel like the weapons are more like additional content :/

Anyway really really great entry! Keep it up man!

very-dark-lord 2019-05-03 17:38

Sorry for your bluescreen. Game turned out really well though, nice and shiny, and great music! Only managed to reach 9000 points after several tries, but I think I'm satisfied with my plebby performance.

phantomeniasll 2019-05-03 17:50

Very simple but extremly nice and polished game add a online mode an sell it for 20 bucks on steam

remosloot 2019-05-03 18:55

if i could rate the game i would give it a 10/10

remosloot 2019-05-03 19:23

i found a littel bug you can hide under the map by jumping

al19890604 2019-05-04 05:28

Obviously it is a great creation within 48 hours! Well desgined tight control system!

saering 2019-05-04 10:57

The proof that you don't need awesome sprites as long as you have nice game feel and feedbacks! Came here after seeing your video, and I was not disappointed, the game is as fun as it seems! I think you should have exaggerated the shaking, explosions, colors of the game so that it really feels like a war against cube where you end up shootnig at everything randomly, just because it's fun. Maybe adding some background color that changes over time could also help making the game less repetitive, because you might have different upgrades, the gameplay is always the same - which is not a problem of course but it's great to make the player feels he's playing something different each time, even if it's false. And little detail, I'm not sure using SFXR was the best decision with this kind of graphics :laughing:

Overall a great entry, easy but efficient use of theme, good job!

ayush-bardhan 2019-05-04 18:04

Tyler may suck but your game doesnot. Also I faced some problems in game such as 1) when the rotating platform is rotated too much it gets stuck in ground and all enemies also get stuck on that side. 2) when in a lava scene, if u continue to be in that initial platform then enemies will spawn and simply move towards the lava, suciding.

purpoappo 2019-05-04 19:24

Very fun, I think the rifle is the best.

no-name 2019-05-04 19:29

Hm... Maybe change controls in WASD? But idea is not bad, need some fix

supergamersgames 2019-05-04 22:21

Now that was a great experience! Quite polished and understandably had only a cliche but good way of interpreting the theme.

The game didn't try to be clever, it tried to be good which I quite like.

fores1zed 2019-05-05 09:38

Pretty fun game had some real gamer moments in it rate 8/10 some improvments and i would buy it for 5 pounds

tgiant 2019-05-05 15:27

Hey man, for your first game I am very impressed. Well done and glad you could have recovered the blue screen.

luis96xd 2019-05-05 20:59

This is an Amazing game, a nice experience, and a lot of fun! :smile: The sounds implemented are so cool! And despite a blue Screen and the files got corrupted. You fixed it up and The game was publised.

nyandev 2019-05-05 21:29

is good

geist-191 2019-05-06 05:52

Nice game! On my pc there were some audio glitches on both "good performance" and "good graphics". Otherwise it is a nice take on the theme and what i loved the most were the physics of the blocks and the "Smash" feel to it.

vlad-dae 2019-05-06 12:06

Pretty fun to play :thumbsup: I like it!

A bit unfortunate that is upgrades only on start. If it will be waves of enemies with upgrades between - that will be more interesting, I think.

eddward 2019-05-06 20:12

It's really fun and quite challenging, awesome job

zeberg 2019-05-07 16:52

Fun to play Can you add some boss?

khofez 2019-05-10 13:51

Wow! Very fun to play and very challenging, good job on this one, liked it a lot

erukolindo 2019-05-13 14:34

One of the most fun games from this LD. Great Job!

mharring 2019-05-17 02:14

Great game! Very fun to play. Simple yet very effective. The menu could have used a little more polish, but the gameplay was on point and the music matched perfectly. Well done!

fadex 2019-05-17 18:43

nicely polished and simple. like it

conk 2019-05-19 18:36

Awesome! Fun and incredibly polished. The graphics are simple but work very as they're consistent but still utilises effects like glows and particles. Very easy to sink a lot of time into, although it would've been nicer if the sword was more a sword rather than a short range spray gun :stuck_out_tongue: Great job!

d3ofol 2019-05-20 00:16

I can appreciate how the game mostly works, even though it was made in under 48 hours. I can also appreciate that the game exists, even though the theme is kinda weird. I just personally feel the game is uninspired and lacks fun.

nwm-po-co-ci-yo 2019-05-21 18:22

I found a mistake so that you can "stick" to the right wall you need to take a sniper all improvements to jump rush to the left wall to jump and shoot up go down to the bottom and take "d" all the way until you show up end screen

2019-08-24 22:54

eh. i wanted the story mode

2022-07-12 11:16

Actually, this game is very fantastic! However, the player must be fully aware of the factors that should have their undivided attention before selecting a specific offer. The article, found at https://polskiekasynaonline.net/nowe-kasyna/ provides a summary of the factors to take into account while selecting new online casinos. From license and legality to payment methods, available games, and software providers, to the optimization of new casinos for mobile devices, all pertinent concerns will be discussed.
