The game feel unfinished even for a jam. It's unclear for me what to do. There is a boss right out of the gate (with nice music BTW), I tried to fight it and I died it one hit. So I tried to run from it and fell out of the world borders.
It is good to know you will keep working on this game. In my opinion you need a better opening, this one just left me confused.
How should I restart the level when I am knocked out of the scene by boss? The game need some tutorial and its unfinished.
thank you both for saying what you think about our game we will fix these bugs when we can :)
QQ截图20211006223159.png just run to right...
@ghubert yeah that is the first thing we will fix
Is it normal for my Anti Virus to catch the game as a Ransomware? I tried to play the game but then it froze and when I tried to reopen it my anti virus quarantined it.
@alexthehuman2 yeah I don't know why that was happening ill ask my friend why that's happening.
The bullets didn't go where my mouse were, not sure if it's the game or my sandboxing software (Sandboxie). I did get the same thing that ghubert is posting a screenshot of, falling off screen. I liked the music!
I was unable to proceed past the first boss, but what I did play was well done! I like the erratic nature of the boss fight, with it randomly dropping from the ceiling to try to land on me. Music was fitting, and the shooting mechanic was all right. Just holding down the mouse button and point it at the enemy was okay, could have used with a bit of audio feedback that it was hitting.
Some of the camera controls could be fixed, it would zoom out just going to the edges of the room. Keep up the good work!
I liked character design, simple but expressive. Was able to defeat Nail Boy :) Quite a lot of bugs but you'll earn a lot of exp for fixing them! By the way, unreal does not seems like a good choice for 2d game, you may want to try some other engine.
I'm glad to see you putting yourself out there despite some very obvious flaws. That takes courage. I enjoyed the color choices for your environments, and I got really excited when I saw black and red for the area after the Nail Boy fight. Work on providing more visual feedback to the player for things like damage, and of course patch up those game breaking glitches. Just a heads up, the player can move Uki during the opening cutscene. Keep working at it, don't give up!
Hello @lakrits I tested the version of uki on itch and didn’t seem to get the same problem so mostly likely it is from the software you are using
Hello everyone thank you for give our game a chance I am the only programmer that is working on Uki and I guess my lack of knowledge did let in in some major ways. I am currently working on fixing all of the main issues that the game has and that have been reported by people and will be further working on improving the overall quality of the game.
Noice game!
Отличное начало! Так держать - дерзайте и становитесь опытнее! ^_^
I couldn't quite figure it out, but the cutscene and polish looked nice. The pixel art also looked great with a strong influence from team meat
How I love pixels more than pixels! :D
As @t-r-e-f-e-t-h-e-n says, don't give up. Just split each problem in minor problems, and try to find the best solution that fits well with your gameplay. Add feedback for each thing the player is doing, such as shooting (e.g. each shot explode at impact), or jumping (adding a nice sound or a fluid animation). Even from a few mechanics you can develop a great experience for the player. Just try to understand what the player want from your game. Keep it up!
Ummmm I can open a command prompt by pressing ` key.
Seemed to fall into an inescapable void after the first fight. But the fight itself was pretty fun.
I like the overall mood of the game, I can see what you guys were going for with the color choices and the music. I think it's a pretty decent game considering that it's your first!
a nice first game! getting anything to work at all in unreal is an achievement in itself, nice work.
I want more of Uki :D As peoples says, there's some trouble but you give a soul to Uki and i want more now ^^ And the end is pretty fun. I keep the page up to play with when you'll fix the bugs. Good job !
It would be nice to skip the opening cutscene when you die!
@unagiv thank you for the kinda words we are working on the update now and should be finished soon!
@wheybags yep I know that’s one thing we are fixing
I like the idea of a boss rush and the presentation is nice! However, I wasn't able to get very far as it seems I died in only two hits (maybe I need to work on my skills a bit lol). Though it seems like you're working hard on getting glitches fixed up, I appreciate it! Nice work for a first game!
@brainloaf-studio thank you for the kind words it means the world
Really nice game! So great that some people also figured to go for mentally unstable setting! Wish you luck finishing it!
Really cool art and theming. I had some problems with bugs and crashing, but the combat was very solid and the controls felt good. Great entry!
Could not beat the first guy, I feel I miss something but it is still nice overall !
@plomeg lol thanks for trying
I like the bold pixel style and particularly the music. Unfortunately, I did fall off the edge and get stuck twice against the first boss, lol. Seems like a cool concept once you figure out the glitches, though!
I like the idea of starting with a boss fight, the game idea is good, only problem is that the game is A bit buggy
genius idea, and nice expirience
Fun little game, sadly I never passed the first guy he kept trapping me in the hall ways and then id fall out of the world. But nice work nonetheless!
An interesting game with a good atmosphere, but caught a bug(
Not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but the game tries to launch SteamVR on my PC. Does the game support like a hidden VR mode, or is that a simple bug?
Other then that, nice game
nice game but it got really unstable
@v0idpointer Hmmm not sure but when packaged I made sure to only do it for Windows and no one has had that problem before hand. I will look into the packaging setting and check if SteamVR is turned on or not.
Nice start to a game, but I couldn't continue after the nail boss. I feel like people have already commented on the issues I had, so I just want to drop in and say congrats on finishing your first game! Making a game and submitting it is tough. Well done!
Nail man proved a little too tough for my skills even after multiple tries. Perhaps starting with an easier boss would be a good way to give me a chance to get used to the controls. In saying that though the character did move well and I liked the art and music choice as well as the little cutscene at the start. Nail man also seems like a well designed boss, just a little tough at the start. Keep it up
Really nice job for your first jam game! The art style was nice and the colors definitely gave off a pretty clear mood. I think one thing that I would really focus on at this stage is making sure the player understands what is happening at any given moment. At the beginning of the game I didn't know the controls, so it took me a little while to get used to that. And once I was in the battle, it was a little bit hard to tell when I was getting hurt and when I was doing damage to the enemy. More feedback generally would be a big help: more visual changes, audio cues, etc. when something in the game changes. I know it's a jam so it's really tough to make that content in time, but just something to think about. Well done once again on finishing your first game, that's often the toughest part! Can't wait to see what else you make!
Very buggy.. I couldn't get it to work. The art and music were pretty decent though
Nice job for a first time! The gameplay was definitely not what I was expecting when I saw the thumbnail, but that first fight was a fun surprise! I unfortunately fell through the world immediately after the fight, but I did enjoy what I got to play with to start!
Nice one!
