Looks really nice! :)

The Game looks really nice and the animations of the player are really cute. But i think it would be even better with sound ;)

Good audio is one of the single greatest things you can do to set yourself apart from other submissions.

outfrost 2020-04-21 23:13

Yeah. Unfortunately I mismanaged my time on this one, and left myself with no time for audio, and 666Savior had less time to begin with. I decided not to opt out of the category though, so you can rate this on the complete lack of sound ;)

I'm going to try the downloadable but you should know that the web build hangs in Firefox and shows this error in Edge (Chromium) on Windows 10: nullref.png

I absolutely adore deoderant-guy's naruto run! The map is big and if you mash spacebar you can fly above it and see it all, which is neat. There is a lot to explore. Also I like the mood.

very pretty game! I couldn't find what the axe was for.

@cheesepencil Thank you for describing that bug as a feature haha :D And yeah, the Web build seems just broken af. Might take it down 'cause it seems like a deeper issue with Godot's HTML export at the moment.

@kevin-prehn Thank you! The axe was supposed to be a weapon against enemies, but the enemies were late to the party, so it's mostly useless. You can practice some very awkward axe throwing though ;)

Good work outfrost. A lot went into the game, if only there was a bit more of a rewarding game loop / fun mechanics, it would have given me more reason to explore the lovely world you created!

Looks great but I found the game hard to understand!

Hey! Saw your game was a few votes short, so I played it on Twitch and gave some live feedback! VOD is up on Youtube, if you'd like to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi6oja9yekY

This was a really pretty collector game! I couldn't find out if the Axe had a use (the tree didn't seem to care for it, understandably), or if there was a difference between Potions and Fertilizer for the tree. The low-poly terrain looked nice, and was fun to explore (I liked some of the little areas farther from the tree). The way the camera oriented to face the tree always was a nice way to know how to find your way back was nice, but there were moments when I wished the camera looked where I was trying to move. I also noticed the tree's glow changed based on how well it was fed, but a little more feedback on it's wellness (maybe some indication of maximum health versus current) might've been nice, and helped create a sense of urgency.

Thanks for putting this together! I enjoyed playing it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, @honest-dan, @cg-fred, @solifuge! Those are some very good and helpful points. We really appreciate it!

@solifuge I follow you on Twitch, but unfortunately missed the stream. Thanks for pointing us to the vod! <3
