Very nice

kekkodude 2019-10-07 19:28

I stopped getting items and the buttons started bugging out and the striking animation stopped showing aswell after a while so a bit unstable for me.

but interesting concept!

2019-10-07 19:29

great

danielclarc 2019-10-07 19:29

I loved it! xD I played several times even though my first try was the absolutely best (so many perfect kills) :D

I just missed a way to replenish hp (even if is just a bit ocasionally). I went through several rounds with 1hp and winning loot without raising my survivability xD

I'd love to see what this could become in the future =D

kenarf 2019-10-07 19:29

@kekkodude really? Damn, didn't get those errors haha. Thanks for feedback! Will try to fix it someday!

kenarf 2019-10-07 19:31

@danielclarc thank you so much! Well, we have a pretty broad field for development in the future. Love the feedback!

tjmcdonald 2019-10-07 19:54

I enjoyed this a lot, it was very funny and the art style was good. I agree with an earlier comment - I'd love to see something that could heal me. But this was very fun.

kenarf 2019-10-07 19:56

@tjmcdonald, thanks a lot! It's our first game, really love the feedback. Thank you so, so much

indiebin 2019-10-07 19:57

Sorry, I might be dumb, but I couldn't get it to work. I was clicking the symbols but nothing seemed to happen. Interesting idea though.

I just click on one of the symbols, it says 'rock paper scissor' and nothing happens XD Might just be me being thick!

kenarf 2019-10-07 20:00

@indiebin can you expand on this thought? Maybe we just messed something up hah

kenarf 2019-10-07 20:06

@indiebin, sorry to hear that. We'll examine the issue. Have you tried to restart the game?

nachtwitch 2019-10-07 20:28

interesting game idea, would be fun to play outside the jam if polished a bit more

kenarf 2019-10-07 20:37

@nachtwitch thank you. We will definetely consider polishing it!

kubeec 2019-10-07 20:56

Nice game! Powodzenia w dalszych pracach :smiley:

kenarf 2019-10-07 21:00

@kubeec Dzięki wielkie! I nawzajem ;)

tom-adams 2019-10-07 21:09

gotta love a classic!

kenarf 2019-10-07 21:11

@tom-adams finally, it's nice to see somebody got our references to the OG stuff haha

4quet 2019-10-07 21:22

I clicked for the amazing title and was not disappointed. First game to make me laugh ! Give this handsome Knight some healing potion for the future :)

Congrats for your game, it's really cool ! Love the art ! ROCK PAPER SCISSORS !!

buoygames 2019-10-07 21:24

cool idea, good work!

kenarf 2019-10-07 21:25

@4quet Thank you! Really love the feedback! Will definetely try to add some kind of health refill item! @buoygames Cheers! Glad that you like it!

dinorex 2019-10-07 21:54

Congrats with you first game on Ludum Dare! Not bad idea, but hobos don't look like hobos, and to evaluate the system of craft and all items have to restart many many time... Anyway, it was fun) Nice job!

lonewolfdev 2019-10-07 22:01

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

lonewolfdev 2019-10-07 22:01

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

lonewolfdev 2019-10-07 22:01

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

jaydubbyasee 2019-10-07 22:41

Pretty funny. Great voice acting :smile:

kenarf 2019-10-08 04:18

@jaydubbyasee @dinorex @lonewolfdev Thank you guys for your amazing comments, they are highly appreciated

tommyflower 2019-10-08 09:35

At first I didn't understant whose turn was, so I kept selecting the wrong choice. The knight design really made me laugh as well as the voice. good job and welcome to Ludum Dare :) !

kenarf 2019-10-08 09:50

@tommyflower thank you so much! The idea of turns in the game is pretty abstract. Really glad you enjoyed it!

drixide 2019-10-08 11:57

Hobo games!

alex-higon 2019-10-08 12:18

Hobo devs united!

vincentvincent 2019-10-08 13:57

Really funny! love the voices:)

kenarf 2019-10-08 14:07

@drixide @alex-higon hobo games United!

saltfactory-studio 2019-10-08 15:35

I would recommend having a background color to the HP sliders (if they are sliders) or add text above the HP so that it's easier for the players to see how much damage they can take/deal. Overall, a simple concept pulled off well, good job.

kenarf 2019-10-08 17:28

@saltfactory-studio thank you for the feedback!

wansou 2019-10-08 17:56

Its not a bad game / altough i would make different variations of the "Rock paper scissors" to make it more... "Realistic" ?

but its a good game overall! Keep up the good work

kenarf 2019-10-08 18:27

@wansou hey! Thank you so much. Can you ellaborate on more realistic rock paper scissors? Just curious haha

wansou 2019-10-08 18:47

@Kenarf so like, changing the tone of the voice so you dont hear the same thing again and again, and it gives more "Fun/realistic" look to the game, good luck mate!

kenarf 2019-10-08 19:08

@wansou cheers!

iak 2019-10-08 19:17

How do I survive past 3 hobos... They keep killing me XDD cool idea, but if I'm not getting something wrong, perhaps some way to make it more balanced (reducing the luck factor a bit, especially when the player doesn't have much equipment yet) could help if you're gonna flesh this out with more stuff in the future.

daniiln 2019-10-08 20:05

Not a bad idea, but a lot depends on luck. For example, you can add coins that the player receives for each turn and in the store he can buy HP replenishment or gain for them and then the game will get better

kenarf 2019-10-08 20:33

@iak @daniiln thank you for The feedback guys! HP refills are highly requested (no idea how we could have missed it) will try to add it ASAP!!

kyle-bowman 2019-10-08 23:30

Very funny game. I liked the voice acting. If you continue the game you should add more animations and sound effects. Great job!

kenarf 2019-10-09 04:51

@kyle-bowman thank you for your feedback! Really happy, that you liked it

karlipoppins 2019-10-09 07:11

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS !!

Very cool entry! Absolutely love the art, mood and humor! The crafting is a really nice touch, made it very fun to play!! Great job!

kenarf 2019-10-09 08:00

@karlipoppins thanks a lot! Glad that you like it! You made the whole team smile:)

mad-brokli 2019-10-09 10:00

The zip is corrupted m8 :(

shenawy 2019-10-09 10:38

Cool and funny! Like others mentioned a way to receive some hp back would help a lot. Not sure if no loot is also part of the drop because one game I won 2 rounds and didn't receive any loot. I guess other hobos stole them before I could

kenarf 2019-10-09 12:53

@mad-brokli works for the rest as you can see. Can't do much about it now unfortunetely:/

kenarf 2019-10-09 12:55

@shenawy no drop item is an implemented feature. Forgot to make more or any obvious. Sorry for that ://

pedro-miranda 2019-10-09 13:32

Cool game and really funny. I'm not sure about it revolving completely around random chance, but it is a solid entry for this jam, congratulations

iluvatar 2019-10-09 13:40

What is it with hobos this jam, haha! This is like fifth game already I saw that featured hobos in it. Pretty cool entry indeed.

kenarf 2019-10-09 13:49

@pedro-miranda we'll figure it out. The idea of rock paper scissors just appealed to us as unusual way to create a fight system. We are really thankful for your feedback!

kenarf 2019-10-09 13:50

@iluvatar it's an effect of rapid brainstorming haha. Glad you enjoyed it

whatnamegames 2019-10-09 15:55

This is really unique and it's nice that you mixed up the combat system, awesome job.

kenarf 2019-10-09 16:12

@whatnamegames thank you so much! Really Love that you enjoyed it

benjo-games 2019-10-11 15:54

Funny game but the graphics are not properly good. Afer a while begins boring. However in general good work

wakobu 2019-10-11 19:30

Congratulations for making this game ! I didn't understand how to equip items at first. It's not very intuitive since the left side of the inventory is labelled Equipements. The sound was a bit ominous. However, nice crafting idea but we don't drop enough items !

kenarf 2019-10-12 07:26

@wakobu I know the inventory controlls may get pretty confusing. Still we are planing to work on a lot of things to make the game better!

gnappuraz 2019-10-13 08:43

Hahaha, funny graphics, the game is a bit repetitive after a while. Nice idea to introduce variation using an inventory system. Congrats!

kenarf 2019-10-13 09:10

@gnappuraz thanks for your feedback!
