I got a compileError on HTML5 version (chrome/windows I don't think is my computer because I already tested 30-40 games with Unity): https://i.imgur.com/v2YwPek.png
looks promising! but i didnt get it working on windows :(
Sadly I have the same error as @a-312
@ me once it's fixed and I'll amend my rating :)
@a-312 @leniwabula @lucalangenberg :cry: I notice that so late... I tried to fix it, but my Unity crashed and I don't know why. Also, it generated a lot of bugs about shaders. I'm really a novice when it comes to export builds in Unity. Captura_de_Pantalla_2020-04-20_a_las_10.51.04_p._m..png But the good notice is that I made Win and Mac versions. I notice that my Win Zip was wrong upload and I fixed. So, Is not HTML game but is my first try, sorry about the time you wasted trying t play my game.
I had to rename the folder Spoon_Data to SpoonPC_Data for it to work on Windows.
Game is simple but fun, love the fail state animation xD
Hahahahhahahaaha I don't know why but this game made me laugh!! Hahahaha I think the looks are great! All the color gradients of the background and the sprites are simply great. I'd just work a little on the animations. Maybe adding some IK to the body parts and animating them would suffice. I really enjoyed the sound effects! Hahahaha Keep it up!
This was a cute game! Reminded me of the Google Chrome dinosaur! Really nice animation and a solid concept. Could be made a little smoother but great job especially being a completely solo game!
Simple and fun entry, I liked the graphics and the homemade sound. 🙂
@niklasriewald Thank you for your feedback! Yeah the animation is so a thing, right? :smile:
Your executable 'SpoonPC.exe' is expecting a 'SpoonPC_Data' folder but your zip for Windows has it as 'Spoon_Data'. May want to fix that. ^_^
I love the quirky style of the game, your audio fits the animations perfectly.
Score 322 !! What is yours? It's was fun haha! With this rythmed music! I love the aesthetic of the itch.io page
And yes I had to rename the _Data folder to make it work !
Man I suck at this game. Got a few laughs out of it though, nicely done!
@rafael-pontes @teto @curleysam @mp-raxxius @bastinus-rex @big-evil-corporation @alex-karev Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate all the comments. I fixed the name in the Win zip version. I'll probably try to do the web version but I can't promise anything yet haha :smile: And my score was... Bad hahaha Captura de pantalla 2020-04-23 a la(s) 3.29.35 p. m..png
Cute and simple. As it mentioned before it is really similar to the Google Chrome dinosaur. Homemade sounds and music are cool
I saw 3 graphics design, i would have a unit in. Good work
Loved the art and music, and the jumping actually felt pretty good (which can be really hard to get right)! I did hope to have a bit more to the gameplay than jumping obstacles, but in jam games I also think it's important to get the foundations down, which you did. Nice work!
Hahaha, dunno why but I found this game super funny. The different sound effects, the premise of it and the silly walking poses. I'm sure you know about the rocks and stuff that just appear out of no where, this bug made it all even more funny. There really needs to be some sort of increasing difficulty, the only thing that ever killed me were those teleporting rocks that would suddenly make impossible to pass obstacles. A bit more variation would've kept it fun for longer, but I still enjoyed my time with this game. The graphics and music were great, I just hope you can spare some more time to polish future games. Very solid entry, congrats on the oddly funny gameplay! :heart:
EDIT: I just noticed that you opted out of humour! And you also opted out of audio... If you made the music, then why opt out of that category?
Neat little game. Collision was a bit weird but other than that, just some simple fun.
Hey, this was a nice little game! I'm sad to see that you've opted out of some of the voting options. I really think it is important to see where you are at as you improve and grow in game dev!
The game handled pretty well, there were some minor issues here and there that caused deaths but overall it was well done. the audio was great, I always appreciate when people take the time to add it and even more when it is made by them too. All in all, great job.
Keep up the good work and see you next Ludum Dare!
Great game. Art is really nice, music and sound effects are dope. :D
With ground perspective like that, you could move obstacles a bit higher. Sometimes, especially with small obstacles I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to jump over them, or if they are just part of background. Just a minor nitpick though ;)
Cheers!
You managed to avoid a pitfall that some people fall into, where they put too much effort into a small part of the game and don't have time for the rest. Though this game isn't the most advanced I've seen, it has all the parts that it needs (clouds in the background, nice graphics and animations, working gameplay that isn't broken, music and sound), and even the luxury like a mute music button.
Great job!
Cute little game! It's a good beginning, gameplay works, there are visual and sounds feedback, music, well done :) But now, to make this game really juicy and satisfying, I would like more feedback and feelings playing your game. For example the jump could be better maybe making it more "heavy" with more impact, just suppositions that's definitely not mandatory. But these kind of polish FX could be very long to implement, mostly during a jam. Good job and keep it up!
A cute little game, and I LOVED IT :laughing:
Fun to play. Liked the soundFX. Congrats... :thumbsup:
A very happy and funny little game. Well done.
Very funny game, the sound effect when you start the game is gold ;-) and you are right it is harder than i thought... i would even say it gets impossible after some time xD
First of all, thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate and take note of each one of them :3 @justcamh About your question: Idk, I edited to put the link in and didn't really realize I didn't have the categories open to qualify. I'm new and noob in game dev, literally in game dev like programming not in the other parts but i'm noob. So, sorry about that.
I edited once more to open the categories to qualify. May I borrow some of your time to qualify? @a-312 @leniwabula @lucalangenberg @niklasriewald @rafael-pontes @teto @curleysam @mp-raxxius @bastinus-rex @big-evil-corporation @alex-karev @leetchi-heda @ctrble @enya454 @chambre19 @ryzy27 @invixel @duck-reaction @chief141 Please?
I'm vibing with the entire page this game is hosted on. I do think the obstacles should be higher up on the screen so they more clearly look as though they're directly in the player's path. My high score is somewhere around 140!
It is all right. Obstacle generator require some fix, because sometimes it makes obstacles right under your feet and there is very small room for reaction. Also this mom attack looks really brutal.
I just played your game and I really enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised to have an angry ostrich chasing me, great humor! The sound effects added to the overall experience nicely.
A couple suggested improvement if you are to continue developing the game: Perhaps adding a smaller jump as a second option would help improve variability. Clicking the space bar quickly versus holding it down for example. I personally felt the difficulty to be a little on the easy side, but perhaps I am in the minority.
I thoroughly enjoyed your game, congrats on submitting!
An interesting game with some fun gameplay. I will say that sometimes the obstacles would spawn right in front of you and don't give you any time to react. Other than that the gameplay was intuitive and easy to understand. Having to only worry about one button was nice.
Simple but nice, chrome should replace its offline game with this ;) A few of the stones render in quite late while they are already in view of the camera.
Nice job! Some suggestions for improvements: If you make the main track's loop point match players won't notice when the music starts over. Some sounds for jumping and occasional noises from the ostrich would be nice, especially if they had some variety to avoid sounding repetitive. Games in this genre sometimes increase difficulty by adding obstacles you avoid by not jumping.
I feel like I've had a nightmare like this before! The music goes well with the gameplay and characters involved and i like the artstyle you went for with the characters and environments. The mood is strong and I like the humorous and surrealist tone. At first, the objects you jump over didn't jump out to me as hazardous because they're pushed down a bit too far, and i feel raising them up will more easily communicate that they're obstacles. Also, i think a couple background props could make the chase a little more interesting. Otherwise, nice work!
Very neat little game with some fun graphics! I enjoyed playing it and it made me laugh a few times when I got caught. The visuals were in a nice style and seeing animation was a nice change of pace compared to other games. My only suggestion would be to try and make it so that the rocks always spawn at the edge of the screen and come towards you, there were a few times when one would just appear in front of me which did keep me on edge I'll admit but I still think it might be worth looking into. Great job!!
I agree with the other comments: this is a happy game with a wild concept that with more polish could be something great. The hit detection did seem a bit weird, and the transition to the death animation is somewhat delayed and then appears suddenly so there are times I thought I made a jump only to discover I actually failed. Great job on this!
A bit dry... If the difficulty ramps up later (IDK, played to around Score 250), it could do so faster, or else the single button game becomes a bit boring. The ostriches eye animation makes me blink excessively and unvoluntarily.
You made a good job at producing a funny (and working) little game with hilarious animations.
I don't know, if the rocks popping in later are intentional, I assume it is a feature to increase the challenge. Therefore the only issue I noticed was that the mute button is not working properly in the Game Over screen.
Amusing little game.
Yep I voted for the "new" category rating :) Keep going!
The way he picks her after you die is hilarious. Liked the music, wish there was a nice, funny sound effect for jump. Simple but very fun and polished game. Congrats
Haha cute little game. I love how random the concept is :laughing:
Done :v Challenging and simple game buuuuut would be nice to restart the game with spacebar when the retry screen appear.
Very simple game (maybe too simple for me), but fun and rather well polished. The animation when you die is excellent !
haha the ostrich is hilarious! Good fun little game, we streamed it last night! :D Thanks for sharing.
the game looks hilarious
fun game! the prehistoric concept is nice, animations are a little stiff, the egg's gif on the side make me dizzy.
Very simple game with nice graphics. But I wonder if it is intended that obstacles just pop in right in front of me. Or is this a bug? There is a cactus coming in from the right, I prepare to jump and then suddenly a stone pops up in front of the cactus. When I manage to jump over the rock then I land in the cactus. A little bit frustrating.
cool anims and overall, but sometimes obstacles spawns right under legs, and at first time I didn't understand, what is obstacle, move stones and flowers up, right on person way)
Delightful game with some funny little sprites, audio and humor. Little musical number is surprisingly lively and gets you in teh groove of running from the bird. I am not very good at this game.
Very simple premise (reminds me of the Chrome dinosaur jumping game) and still a little rough around the edges. Especially the art and animations could use some work to make this feel more immersive and responsive. The obstacles were placed in a way that seem seem to be in the foreground and not acually in the way of the player. I ran head on the first cactus because of that. Afterwards I was all the wiser :) Found it funny btw, how the ostrich's jump power was so high, that he always hit the invisible ceiling :D
Game play wise, it got boring rather quick. Some more variations in level design and/or obstacles would've been great! Solid entry non the less
Like @duke said, the obstacles don't look like they are in the path of the player, while they actually are. The animations and transitions are also quite rough. There also isn't much variety in the gameplay. If you look at the chrome dinosaur game, you have to jump and duck; while you only have to jump in your game. Though, the art and music are quite nice. My highscore was 298.
It looks like the idea came from the chrome dinosaur game, so I guess your internet went offline during the first ours of the jam, right? hehe The high point, for me, was the authoral music and sfx. Nicely done! The art is funny, but the rendering is painfull. It seems like there was missing frames and everything felt laggy and blinking. The obstacles appeared in the middle of the screen instead of in the right as you would expect in an endless runner, but appart from that, it is homorous. Can't say it made me play more than a couple of times though. Maybe some sort of different obstacles or an evolution that is able to show more of your art work before getting so repetitive. I get the simplicity of a game with a single button can be attractive when programming is not the best resource, but, for me, it felt like another action button, as pressing down arrow key to force the character down to jump again ou a fire button to disable some types of obstacles or dock to avoid high obstacles was missed. Hope to hear more from you! ;)
It's a classical non-stop running game. A little bit too easy and boring, but the mood is interesting, and funny with the ostrich behind you and the egg in the spoon. Simple and efficient. (Hey in the desert, the egg will be cooked quickly, no? :D)
Nice take on the theme. Great submission.
Cool lil game! Not sure why, but had a good laugh at it. pretty silly but also fun :) Could see this working well on mobile. Cool work mate!
Quite funny and silly!
The collisions was a bit wonky and art wise it looks like the obstacles are not in the way of the player. Sometimes obstacles would just suddenly pop in.
Always a fan of one-button games. :) First time I saw the game over screen it got a chuckle out of me!
I kind of wish the obstacles were a bit more strategically placed instead of random, though. Sometimes I get caught in an unwinnable situation where a rock spawns in front of me, but right in the middle of my jump arc, another one appears at my feet...
Still, nice job nonetheless!
Haha this is super bizarre but I love it. Great work!
