Super cool game!

hell yeah, the sprite work in this is really good. the only feedback I have is that it really got to me that the bullets didn't shoot where I was pointing the cursor (I think maybe the shadows lined up?) I dunno, I was just really unintuitive for me. overall this is one of those games at you should consider working on for another weekend or two, just to patch out all the place holder sprites!

nice game! took me 2 minutes to understand the concept, but i really liked playing, collecting gold, adding gnomes etc. i liked the art a lot! the music was okay, but somehow not really fitting.

Love what you guys have here its overall quite fun.

Game design vise: To make it better i would have gone for upgrades rather then consumable items in the shop (such as player movement speed upgrades or bullet damages ones). Try to introduce more variants to enemies (enemies that fires a bullet at you ect.) Improve the game feel. This includes all the tiny things such as the player having perhaps some animations for firing and for the player to fire less but more impactfull shots. Player moving just a bit faster and smoother.

Art wise: I would have gone for a simpler, more minimalistic style to have more time to refine it and perhaps make more animations for it.

Overall great fun with great music and charming characters

Cool game, but it was very difficult to understand what they wanted from me 😅

nice game! ^^

Great game. I like the graphics, sounds and fx. I was not a fan that i could not shoot over the rocks on the ground. In the later levels there were too many and they blocked most of my shots. Maybe this is by design. Also i was able to leave a gnome behind but in the next level there was one in the field that i could use at full health. Is this by design because i didnt find one in the following level one after i left a gnome behind. Good job.

I love the artstyle and idea! The concept of protecting your builders is quite interesting. I wish there was more feedback to hitting the enemies. Love the tutorial lol.

Took me a while to figure out I could take out multiple gnomes at once. xD Very entertaining premise, cute shooter. Did enjoy!

Nice graphics! love it, very kawaii :).

Cool game, nice sprites (I'm a fan of the shop guy). I think with more mineral types and upgrades it could become a very addicting game.

One thing though, on my first run I didn't pick up the gnomes when leaving the level, so on the second level I could do nothing. I think you should either force the player to pick them up before leaving, or simply refill them on every new level.

Keep it up!

Cool entry, everything work fine. The art, sounds and gameplay are really cool. I liked to see Snow White with a rifle.

Very cool game. Love the Snow White & dwarves theme, especially with the swapped roles! :heart: Graphics were really cute and the gameplay got really frantic, really fast! Well done!

prof-suarez 2021-05-14 18:28

Great Concept. I didn't like that the dwarf's blocked my shot. Maybe I would want Snow White to move a little bit faster. I think this could be a cool game with multiplayer elements.

Interesting and fun concept! Pleasant graphics and sound effects. Pretty hard to play and get prepared for the next level, so this forces you to find working tactics.

Some remarks: 1. It was slightly confusing that weapon shots upper than cursor is. Expectation: character shoots right in direction to cursor. 2. Character gets stuck in obstacles when you try to move near them. Expectation: character slides like enemies do. 3. Game has micro-freezes. Perhaps this is affected by 4K display. 4. Resources consuming bullets confused, sometimes this forces you to run from one side of level to another to hit enemies. Expectation: bullets can fly through resources. 5. Game lacks of indication of what healing does in shop. Expectation: game indicates of gnomes' health.

Hope this remarks will be helpful!

Good job!

Classic retro game. Awesome! Respect for drill machine, which referenced me to TNMT. Thanks for my little travelling to my childhood with Dendy)

Frickin NICE WORK. It's hilarious, it's beautifully drawn, it's responsive, it's intuitive. Carrying the gnomes on your back is hilarious. The drill looks nice. The mechanics feel really fun as well!

itsboats 2021-05-17 08:05

Awesome I really enjoyed it but it got overwhelming real fast! I love the piggy back rides with dwarves xD

leggy 2021-05-17 11:44

Game has a well crafted haestetic with nice art, sound, animations. There is a little lack of feedback of shooting for instance. But overall it was super ok!

xatulu 2021-05-17 18:32

Overall a solid game. Loving the theme with Snowwhite and the Dwarves, and nothing like seeing Snowhite taking an active role in management. The gunplay could need a couple of different tweaks here and there like the direction you are shooting matching with the cursor.

Aside from that, awesome stuff with great aesthetics!

sekol 2021-05-17 20:26

The audiovisuals are awesome! The gameplay could be improved, like the aiming with the basic gun was a bit frustrating. And maybe some little hint to pick up the first gnome from the drillship (but maybe i was just dumb). Good job!

Visuals and audio were nice. Gameplay was a bit drawn out, and movement seemed excruciatingly slow. Could also have used some "game feel" juice (explosions and other such flashy effects). But overall pretty decent game!

Really cool! Recorded my first play experience: https://youtu.be/ZwekJKKTzw8 Hope, this will be helpful :)

You are welcome! Really happy that you liked it :)
