really takes me back to the old retro game!

paulhocker 2020-04-21 03:32

very simple game mechanic, add some polish and you have a classic fun game. i really enjoyed this and i was very impressed at how polished it was. the images do not do the game justice. thanks for making this

virtuaworlds 2020-04-21 10:36

@tomrafferty thanks, we were definitely shooting for a retro game design. glad you liked it.

virtuaworlds 2020-04-21 10:37

@paulhocker hey we really appreciate that feedback. we're considering the logistics of polishing it up!

splitpainter 2020-04-22 06:19

OMFG this was so cool, because it has everything I love about games: retro visuals, retro music and weirdness. Many more points for even adding a PS1-like cover for it.

splitpainter 2020-04-22 06:19

By the way, you should enable voting for graphics. The graphics are good for the retro feel. <3

aj-jones 2020-04-22 06:22

Presentation and aesthetic were amazing! I'd take a look at volume levels and a way to quit the game, and its done!

brylamare 2020-04-22 06:28

234.665 :) Interesting concept, and the ps1 style graphics were very fitting and awesome. I got board a little ways in but was addicted enough that I didn't want to stop lol so win :)

hoseccan 2020-04-22 06:38

WOW! Wonderful graphic style! reminded me of PS1 games. The gameplay is funny too

krakadushka 2020-04-22 08:24

OMG, this is the coolest game I've played in the LD46. Stunning graphics, Hyper-casual gameplay-all this creates an atmosphere of hell. P.S. involuntarily shook his head under the beats of the track-the music is very cool. Great job, guys!

adriankrawczyk 2020-04-22 08:54

great job

robowarrior1982 2020-04-22 08:57

Amazing entry real polish, simple concept but crazy!!! I love all, maybe a bit repetitive after a long time but its a scoring game that's normal.TTT.jpg

Cool graphics and music, but very slow to game over

edalbung 2020-04-22 11:23

Very nice game !!! I loved a lot the art style, it remined me a lot of the PS1 era, which is really cool ! And it is very satisfying to feed the devil ! :D

The only little criticisms, that I can make is that the UI was too "clean" for the art style, I think that a more pixelated one would fit better. And I found the game a little too easy at the beginning, it takes time to get harder, so I think that the difficulty should kick in sooner.

Overall, very nice work !

Why can't i rate the graphics? I dig the PSX-era graphics a lot :)

thebreakfast 2020-04-22 20:18

You guys absolutely nailed the PSX / 90s-edge aesthetic. That's a great accomplishment. The music and graphics are both incredible! Great job!

renrok 2020-04-22 22:23

Great aesthetics! I like how you tied everything together, from your cover to your menus. One problem, though - the game screen kept blinking white on me. Don't know if this was intentional or not.

The gameplay is simple, but weirdly meditative. Played a couple of times with enjoyment.

creamybacon2 2020-04-23 00:23

Remember the 90's??? This feels like it jumped right out of an old online flash game site from 1999, and that is not a bad thing. The game is straight forward. It's a fair skill based high-score game. Looks good, sounds good, uses the theme well. I do think your game would benefit from little things like different and varied sound effects and possibly some screen shake. Other than that good job.

virtuaworlds 2020-04-23 00:43

@sadsmile @splitpainter we turned off graphics rating because according to LD if we used any graphics assets we were supposed to. we did change alot but we were just trying to avoid trouble as it was our first LD!

@aj-jones thanks for the feedback. those are things we're looking to address with a post jam patch very soon. we're also planning a commercial version with expanded features and gameplay.

@brylamare @ROBOWARRIOR1982 thanks for playing guys. we're fairly new to game dev, and it was challenging to even fit in this much gameplay haha. however, we're planning a commercial version with expanded features and gameplay.

@Palvel thanks for the feedback. it's skippable with the mouse, but we ran out of time for everything else haha. we'll be implenting easier skip button or shortening it in a future commercial version.

@wavewava thanks for playing and glad you liked it. that's weird about the flashing... so the whole screen was flashing white? if so, what is your CPU, GPU and OS. we'll look into it!

@CreamyBacon2 @edalbung thanks for the feedback. those were things that we didn't have enough time to tweak, however we're planning a commercial version with expanded features and gameplay.

@hoseccan @krakadushka @adriankrawczyk @thebreakfast thank you so much for the kind words. it means alot and makes it worth not sleeping for the last 2 days! We're planning a commercial version with expanded features and gameplay.

ponypen 2020-04-23 01:07

Cool retro aesthetic! This game is so weird yet wonderful!

virtuaworlds 2020-04-23 01:11

@ponypen weird and wonderful is our thing

dunusoor 2020-04-23 01:22

Very simple gameplay. I love the skybox and artwork. Very easy to get on and kill time playing

loopypicklehead 2020-04-23 01:34

That's some crazy detail on graphics! Absolutely got the aesthetic!

ryanman56 2020-04-23 01:40

Really liked the aesthetic! Felt like a PS1 game!

gamer-fates 2020-04-23 01:51

Well done! Large File, but worth it. Enjoy the retro graphics!

krakadushka 2020-04-23 06:41

@virtuaworlds We will wait)

renrok 2020-04-23 08:01

@virtuaworlds, yeah, the whole screen, part by part. I can try to get a screenshot or a gif of it, if you need it!

Was playing on a Win 10 OS, as suggested. Here are my CPU and GPU: Speccy 2020-04-23 10.52.091.png

Hope this helps!

Wow that was really intense! Nice job building the mood. The music, graphics, animations, and effects looked great. I really dig the PSX aesthetic too. This is definitely the most hardcore LD entry I've ever played!

virtuaworlds 2020-04-28 04:23

Almost done with the update. Stay tuned.

virtuaworlds 2020-05-01 01:23

Update is complete, if you played in the past, give it another try, its better.

convg 2020-05-01 09:41

Awesome game! Really retro arcade feel. Very original idea. No complaints really. Nice job! How many were on your team?

geckoo1337 2020-05-01 10:10

I am afraid - really afraid by this mood when people scream :/

However all is well done with a solid mechanics. The main gameplay is clever, easy to learn, hard to master. I am a big fan of PS1 and I liked your attempt so as to create something similar. Neat. Thank you for your feedback ++

eran-haas 2020-05-01 23:06

🤘🤘🤘 Fantastic! Really felt like a PSX era artifact. The menu was a great touch.

Loved how over the top the audio and VFX were!
