Funny and addictive game, too bad you can't save your progress, although it has its magic in this. Very good gameplay and audio, with nice drawn visuals and interesting mechanics.
A strange bug after you submit the score, the game freezes, and you cannot click on anything.
For those who can not upload the score, you need to allow the game in the firewall settings.
Beside of stuck player or enemies in the walls, a few pathfinding things here and there (my minions are trying to cross diagonally walls) is this a really fun game. Needs a bit more polish (shouldnt use that word here on a jam-page) is this most fun action game that I played yet. Well done you two!
Very well done! Love the progression and having my minions moving around! Got 6th on the scoreboard, but still need to unlock some minions. Will keep playing a bit more. Great game!
@cpv Thanks for noting that, I added the ability for players to cancel out of that process if the leaderboard loading gets stuck.
This is pretty fun and gets very chaotic (a good thing in my book). But the player and enemies get stuck in the walls quite frequently which makes the movement less enjoyable.
Other than that, great job.
Nice concept and lots of fun. I like the effect the walls crushed.
Nice and fun game. Quite challenging, but nice to see a global highscore. I didn't get very far (yet), but I will keep on playing and try to get higher.
Nice idea, i'd love to see what this is like with the pathing issues fixed!
With vsync forced off, the game freakeddd out and I couldn't move right or up, and moving left or down was instant. So maybe there is some missing delta time checks or something?
With vsync back onnn, it was a lot of fun :) I like the chaos and destruction going on, and the nice change in pace between caving and raiding was really cool. I found the movement to be a little too quick and jumpy for my tastes. And although the purpose I think was to acquire an army to do more combat for you, whacking enemies with the spatula was kinda frustrating/unsatisfying.
This concept is super cool and I can't stress enough how much I loved the switch between caving/raiding, super dope. In addition to fun, I also gave this a high mood score because it just has a lot of character to it and that makes it really pleasant to play.
Loved having an army of boys at my command. I did not manage to find the last secret ingredient to create the most powerful boy (Please DM me)
After few tries, for some reason, I was determined to reach a high position on the leaderboards. And after maybe around two hours, I would be up there if the leaderboards were stable enough to work properly.

But they aren't and it's just stuck here...

Loads of small glitches and bugs that made the game less enjoyable as it could be. The biggest one was the weird teleportation behaviour of the enemies. Like they're still and when you get closer to them, they pretty much go super saiyan and sprint at breakneck speeds for a second or so. And the sheep do it too. Feels especially bad when you go close to a sheep that is with few enemies and then they're all like SYKE, sheep teleporting away from you and all the enemies ganking at your face instantly.
The bullets didn't despawn between the transition from town to cave. And because of that the following could happen were one is just insta killed on spawn because some bullets happened to be on that spot on town map.

The walls and collisions overall had some issues too. Sticking to walls and not being able to move next to them made them the deadliest enemy of all. It was also possible for enemies to spawn outside the playable area.

Then there are the balancing issues. The stunlock was straight up ridiculous. Quite often getting hit just once spelled your doom because of it. The spatula hitbox was way too tiny in my opinion. Sure, it's supposed to be bad I guess but it's still the only even closely reliable weapon. Majority of the buyables were just too expensive (life-wise) and not that great. Their material costs really were a non-factor, you couldn't get life fast enough for them to become an issue really.
The blocks that spawned enemies were sometimes very unfair. They could spawn enemies all around you and you'd pretty much just be stuck between them gnawing at you from all angles. Especially the skeleton thingies were horrible at this since it was so hard to even spot them from all the bouncing bits.
It looked and sounded pretty slick. The only part that bugged me about it visuals wise was the weird and confusing was the wall "bottom" part that is probably supposed to be the actual wall, like isometric wise, but it also functioned on its own without the "top" bit. Looked weird. The UI was clean and functional if not that one leaderboard part of end where you couldn't select with mouse.
I smell some dev cheats on the screenshots you have up there. I hope you didn't only play the game like that during the development, it'd be an easy explanation to all these balancing issues.
Anyways, good job!
Haha amazing fun game, lots of crazy things going on all the time. The game fells great! I got stucked a few times on the tiles. I loved the humor, the message telling it's a 5/5 on the theme was a nice touch. Great job!! played for like an hour but couldn't even reach a tiny bit near the top player. Great job!
@madjack Man, you were right about leaderboards. Drives people into a frenzy.
@jordantanner Isn't it something? That Dreamlo guy is doing all of us a great service.
Conceptually, this is pretty great. I like the two phases, the summoning of minions and everything. Execution wise, there's a lot of technical issues that ruin the experience. Everyone and everything getting stuck everywhere being the worst offender. All in all a good entry that could use a bit more polish.
This is really great concept! Ignoring few bugs like stucking in walls, and poor pathfinding because of time restrictions i guess... this game need just a bit more polish, some content which will empower that what u already have and would play! ( bug fixing too ofc : P ) i hope you will work on it out side the jam! HF&GL
It is definitely fun game to play. I died few times, trying to understand mechanics, but whole game was so fast and fun that I don't really care. Music is really good here.
I rather like the day/night cycle thing you've got going in this game. The audio was quite good as well.
I did have some trouble with getting stuck though. I couldn't quite figure out why, but the player character would sometimes stick to surfaces.
The stun time on being hit is also a bit much. A good number of times where I took a hit during the mining phase turned into chain hit deaths, even with relatively few enemies involved.
Otherwise I think this game is pretty interesting. Will have to give it a revisit soon.
Great game! I ended up playing much, much longer than I expected =). Was only ever able to survive a couple days, only saw the first 4 summons, though :(. Really challenging!
