Katamari Damacy meets Chernobyl

akhil841 2020-10-06 02:08

This was hilarious, especially with the Soviet Union theme.

I ate nearly everything and then started ascending to the sky as the music came to its finish. Glorious. Really nice job with all the art assets! The game was hard to control at first but I got the hang of it eventually. :bug:

Had a good laugh! Took me a while to understand I could go faster... Camera view blocks when mouse hit the side of the screen.

steambrain 2020-10-06 02:20

I flew up in the sky nicely, don't need wings for it, it seems...

hungrycatgames 2020-10-06 02:20

Hahaha! Caterpillar blimp! When you get big enough the physics kicks you way up to float in the sky. Given your circumstances it's still pretty well done. Obviously some glitches and loose ends, but even with those it was fun to play! Well done.

jordanfb 2020-10-06 02:27

Nice work especially since you had to pivot so late in development! The art was impressive and I enjoyed how massive I grew. I think the controls could've used some work but you knew that it seems. I wish there was more to explore and more to eat!

For a very rushed job on a tight deadline, its not bad at all! Love the caterpillar model and the animation is good, all my criticism can be ignored because of the cirumcetances that you were in. Good job!

gilad-bar-ilan 2020-10-06 13:29

AWESOME GRAPHICS!

pbootly 2020-10-06 13:29

Had a proper chuckle - never fix holding shift and space, please. Seems like you knew exactly whats good and what needs work (controlls etc) so nice one!

valkija 2020-10-06 14:21

Funny game, loved the soviet theme lol - though it did get stuck on my PC after the game crashed, I suppose you made me communist.

mog13 2020-10-06 14:34

ahahahahaha. I want to provide usefull feedback but you took a bad situation (somone dropping) and made something that really amused me for the entirety of my time with it. great job pulling this out the bag

dangerblack 2020-10-06 14:37

Well tried a bit but I found a huge bug (a caterpillar)!!

The thing the bugged me the most is why your brother ditched you in such a great project!

I spend a whole minute moving slowly to reach the candy. Than I found the command section xD

Nice assets!

Sorry that you can't release the full potential! 3D animation are not easy, and this one are good.

danyvk 2020-10-06 18:04

hahahaahhahahaa soviet anthem. congrats!!!!

b0guslaw 2020-10-06 21:28

Your brother should have joined you because this is a great project idea that suffers from one missing developer. Regardless great stuff!

antrimplato 2020-10-06 21:30

Nice LSD trip here))

thomas-carey 2020-10-06 21:32

This is a perfect game.

fachscahfttf 2020-10-06 22:06

This was very fun to play. Loved the music, never fails to amaze. Tell your brother, he is no comrade anymore

hank-ather 2020-10-06 22:22

I have no words

i ate a skyscraper and ascended to the heavens

10/10

lanalux 2020-10-06 23:31

lmao why is this so amazing.

jammygunns 2020-10-07 05:12

My thought process playing this the first time: 1. The caterpillar moves so slow. (didn't try the sprint the whole game) 2. Rolling around is quicker and fun, even if difficult. 3. Imagine seeing this big caterpillar crawling down the street. (was about the size of the large rock) 4. Why do I need to try and be a butterfly. I am the caterpillar god!!! (caterpillar starts ascending to the heavens) 5. Oh, right. I wasn't supposed to eat the skyscraper (game crashed) 6. I wanna be a giant, flying caterpillar god again (restarts game)

The art assets are brilliant and the music just adds to the humor. While there are a some control issues and it isn't what you originally hoped for this is still amazing to play. You should be proud of what you accomplished in the short time you had to finish this.

kevin-meissner 2020-10-07 07:23

Very funny well done :-)

shortbread 2020-10-07 08:19

Great concept and really wished you'd had time to fully realise your idea!

rancune 2020-10-07 09:29

A couple of polish in character controls is needed but overall Nice game, awesome feeling of fun, rolling and emptying the level ^^.

dark-prince-zen 2020-10-07 10:24

I too went flying into the depths of space but to never return. Liked the Katamari Damacy vibes. Bit of polish on the controls, normalising the audio and stylising it, you could end up with a hit. Nice job. Big bug, good bug.

etrealjunior 2020-10-07 10:25

I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

croxel-studios 2020-10-07 12:44

Very funny game!

I got stuck inside a wall tho.

gemberkoekje 2020-10-07 15:19

I loved the katamari damacy vibes, though yeah, the game is pretty barebones, as I already read in the description. But you still made it, so you can be proud anyway ;)

david-hunter 2020-10-07 15:41

I see you have a copy of the Soviet National anthem around for emergency use :)

tad 2020-10-07 18:50

This is one of the greatest LD pages for a game ever. I really enjoyed the game too. Incredible effort for one person over a weekend. Great work!

zgragselus 2020-10-07 19:04

Hilarious, I ate everything.

Reminded me of Katamari Damacy, the proper USSR version of it!

Congratulations on finishing the game!

ursagames 2020-10-08 03:55

Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on 10/7. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://tinyurl.com/yy4oycvv

Wow, I like experience of this game, actually this caterpillar a bit creepy, but overall it was very fun to control it. Good job!

jvdwijk 2020-10-08 22:09

This was an interesting little game, reminded me of donut county. Maybe add a speedrun timer to see how fast someone can eat everything!

frigow 2020-10-08 22:47

Considering you did the game all by yourself, it's really good, and the assets you made work perfectly!

... And I couldn't help but laugh when the anthem started plaaying. X)

ms-annotation-x 2020-10-09 21:27

**Good game!**

**Here is my feedback:**

**What I liked?** - I liked the music. (It made me smiling) - I liked the mechanics. - I liked the art a bit.

**What I disliked?** - The music is high. - The game had me a weird feeling. - The gameplay. - The insect is moving too slow.

---

**Bugs:** - The insect can walk over the water. (I will consider this as an ice) - Can trigger the rocks. (It doesn't get eaten)

**Suggestions:** - Maybe, smooth a bit the camera movements/rotation. - Add a main menu.

---

***Ps** The WebGL version of the game didn't work for me.

***Ps** The yellow text on the white/grey background on your game page it is hard to read.

joedev 2020-10-11 19:08

Haha very surreal and a funny concept. Glad you managed to release it even though your bro bailed, its a laugh!

When I played this, I thought, someone has a strange sense of humour :-) First the music, then the caterpillar growing into a giant until it starts flying! The roll mechanic is interesting, this could be a race game of sorts.

midorimelody 2020-10-27 01:33

This was hilarious. At first I rolled around until I ended up running through the floor. Then I tried again and I got so big that I could barely see anything and I kept floating up into the sky when I was trying to eat. Really cool game. I had fun the whole time I played.

etrealjunior 2020-10-27 05:45

You had a good idea, I just believe that you could have simplified it more, for a presentation in a jam, I know that we have little time to perform various tasks, but one thing I do not recommend is to work with physics, because as much as we have mastered the subject it will always be unpredictable and present a huge range of bugs, so I noticed you understand various parts of a game development, this is very good because it will constantly evolve in all aspects, but remember the smallest guaranteed, makes the player spending more time playing, than the big one not well done, but congratulations on the project, I wish constant evolution in the project, a big hug

cakts 2020-10-27 06:16

Very hectic and funny experience :D

vphyre 2020-10-27 13:45

For a moment I felt like playing with the goron mask in Zelda Majora's Mask! Wow! Haha, the graphics are well done, and the gameplay is fun. The music is fantastic hahaha. Unfortunately after some time I got stuck in a part of the scene. But either way, I think I was able to enjoy the game experience, it's really fun to roll out at high speed haha. Good job.
