I like the inverse kinematic in the animation. It's not quite clear to me, which one to attack. I die all the time. But at least I can sell my organs :hospital:

dvlv 2019-04-29 06:53

The art style is cute, and the concept is quite cool too. I'm not very good at it though!

robotsoulsgames 2019-04-29 07:30

​It's hard. I'm not sure what the purpose of having extra eyes is.

robotsoulsgames 2019-04-29 07:32

Also, when the game resets, after selling an eye, the border stays dark.

robotsoulsgames 2019-04-29 07:42

I feel like the slow motion and unskippable intro really slow the game down. I really like it, but I wish it didn't have those. Also, sometimes I still lose blood every second, even when it says zero.

:D this was weird. and clever!

noodlemaster 2019-04-29 15:33

I like the simple and yet interesting combat. Once you get the hang of it, it gets really fun and engaging. Great Job

@ditzel @dvlv @robotsoulsgames @grllle @noodlemaster Thanks lot. I think i have to balance things a little bit. And thanks for showing me the bugs, I will fix those asap :)

ytaha 2019-04-29 17:43

Ok, i fixed the bugs and made the game easier :smile:

Damn fun and engaging. The character concept is insanely funny and the idea is pretty clever.

Theme fitting and well crafted. Nice polish for a compo entry.

overall: over the average compo, it's a pro work.

Thanks for your work!

ow I played this for longer than I thought I would lol ... this is really addictive, it would be great if you make this into those online games which you just get in and start playing with random people ... sometimes it seems the sound is not triggered btw

ytaha 2019-04-30 03:25

@velvetlobster Thanks. Maybe It can be one of those .io games. About the sounds, they are super buggy. I had like one hour to make & add them. I will fix it in the post jam version

Really cool game! Feedback is not always clear (how many arms/legs you have left), and audio is missing but interaction, concept and gameplay are really nicely done!

kuviman 2019-05-05 12:10

I like this a lot! I think there is a bug - if you go to low health, game goes into slo mo and wants me to sell my parts, but if I gain health without opening the shop, I can stay slow mo forever

Great entry. I love your game even though I dislike gore. I was really impressed by physics, especially how spiders walk and their foot as a simple triangle. The main gameplay is fun and fits the theme. Maybe you could add a background music - something weird like your project. Addictive and really Well done for a little compo entry. I guess that you can improve it with more time. Thank you ++

tricky-fat-cat 2019-05-05 12:42

Nice game and idea, however, the combat isn't smooth and easy to start, I really struggled at the beginning with leaning how to fight and how attack works.

cocapasteque 2019-05-05 12:48

Nice idea and fun to play as well, I see this game as .io game with thousands of players trying to get a fu**ing big ass spider and dominate the map :) Good job !

palsina 2019-05-05 12:54

This is really fun, I spent a lot of time playing with my monstrosity. You should make an spider.io in the vein of agar.io and the like.

zeriver 2019-05-05 13:37

A really cool spin for agar.io kind of games, and combat here has a lot of depth and allows for different strategies. Like you can be a glass cannon or a speedy boi who gets one cheeky attack and runs away. Really cool idea and execution is also top notch. Attacking could be easier to read, as I was not always sure how close do I need to be to enemy or how much my attack did / if all my arms got the hit. Anyway, really great entry for LD, easy to understand, fun to play.

vlad-dae 2019-05-05 14:15

Awesome game! A good shake of AGARio and sword fighting game. I love It! Top rates :thumbsup:

pierre-cilluffo 2019-05-05 16:48

It's so funny ! But, I exceeded 10000 LP and it took a long time to die. So I think the enemies are not doing enough damage after a while.

mocadium 2019-05-08 07:30

Great implementation of the theme! I love the fact that not only can you sell body parts, but buy extra too! Well done!

lexyvil 2019-05-08 08:52

Really fun game! It makes me wish there was no limit on how many arms you can purchase, since I really wanted to make the enemies bleed more than just 5 blood value per second per hit. The enemies take too long to die late-game without that.

purrseus 2019-05-08 10:54

The combat works fine and the style is amazing! A great compo entry :)

ytaha 2019-05-10 05:00

@lexyvil Great idea, i really should do that

ytaha 2019-05-10 05:08

@pierre-cilluffo Well done :) I find it difficult balancing the game. I made it that enemies nearly give the same damage you give to them. But I think i have to change this. Maybe I should spot if the player is doing great and bump up the difficulty at around 3000 blood drops :)

ytaha 2019-05-10 05:12

@zeriver You are right. I need some kind of "attack radius indicator" thing. Also beind a speedy boi dont really work well with this AI. I haven't thought about this earlier. I should make AI more open to fast bois. Playing like that is super fun. Oh and maybe a damage bonus for dashing and attacking, there are tons of thing to add ;)

ytaha 2019-05-10 05:13

@cocapasteque Haha, like if you can upgrade your size too and after some time you kill the small fast bois with your feet and fight with other giants. Damn that would be fun

ivan-garcia-filho 2019-05-10 12:25

Amazing entry, you should improve the attack speed and lower the damage for a more frenetic and vicious combat, the mouse response is a bit waky but the attack juiceness is awesome!!!!

there's a lack of os sfx, like the footsteps, a procedural music that changes accordingly to the user's health would be awesome, some ambience would add the sensation of space and the feeeling of an open arena.

Would be nice if you could try to hit the enemy body parts to strategicaly multilate your enemy and enhance the dynamics of the combat...

invader 2019-05-10 20:02

Wow, it a fun game. And the mechanics of buying and selling parts is quite innovative in this context ))) Good job!

I think the enemy spiders can be more aggressive in battle or cooperate and attack in groups against a strong enemy. That can make it more challenging.

ytaha 2019-05-13 06:29

@ivan-garcia-filho Amazing feedback. Thanks!

dan-thompson 2019-05-15 01:04

It took me 4 or 5 attempts to get the hang of it and not die immediately, but once I did I had a lot of fun with it. I didn't always understand why an attack worked or didn't work, a little more feedback or consistency there would have been nice, but I really like the graphics and enjoyed mowing down the other smaller spiders to enhance myself. Great job!
