where's the game...

xsangyhix 2021-10-04 22:45

I won't rate yet because it is probably submission hour bliss. Nevertheless - show us the game man : )

So laggy...

bufuak 2021-10-04 23:13

It is made with Unreal Engine 5 using the Lumen technology so it is a hypercasual that no mobile device can run it :)

Pretty good ! the idea of transformation is pretty interesting

mistagiggles 2021-10-05 18:43

Funny, little but janky but fun to play regardless!

Fun game. One suggestion would be to not nest camera under player so you would not get this jarring switch when you move in the lanes. Would require making some small blueprint for camera follower

I like the transformation aspect, especially I like how it changes your perspective. I started as a farmer, was able to learn about obstacles from his height, then became a chicken and the lower camera angle was interesting.

Unfortunately, as the chicken I ran into a bug. I went up a ramp that dropped me on top of a stack of boxes, and instead of ending the run, it dropped me through the floor of the world.

This is when I discovered I cannot hit escape to get a menu. You should definitely add that.

Also, it is jarring when moving from one track to another, it would feel better if that transition was smooth.

Overall, this is a fun game! Thank you for sharing it!

Cheers! [-LB](https://ldjam.com/users/the-lame-brain/)

This is a solid entry ! I like the graphics and the way transformation give you random capacity. I'm not a big fan of the motion blur in game and may be you can change the contrast or the color aof the fence because the color is too similar of the floor but else that's very nice !

Kinda like a 3D Sonic game... but with horseshoes instead of rings.

bufuak 2021-10-09 16:27

@Anonymous More dynamic camera would help the game feel solid. I agree with that. If there will be post jam update, first things will be implementing this. Thank you for feedback :)

@the-lame-brain The pause and returning the main menu is missing, and if we do post jam update, i'll add these features of course. I am happy that you enjoyed despite these bugs and lack of features. Thank you for these generous feedbacks :)

@robowarrior1982 Motion blur is a big no-no for me too, but we kept open for this project to give players feel of speed. But we need to let players choose if they want motion blur or not. Big thanks for feedback :)

@chillertyp Sonic with a farmer hat :)

Heh. Fun idea. I'd like to see different advantages/disadvantages of the animals. Also the colors were very overlapping and together with the horses can make you a little dizzy. Overall great entry. Good Job!

bufuak 2021-10-10 08:12

@sli Every animal has different abilities.

Chicken has a size advantage that you can pass beneath under obstacles.

Sheep has a magnet stuck to its fur so you can gather horseshoes from far.

Pig has a horseshoe multiplier.

Goat can jump higher.

Cow has an obstacle-proof body, so you have to hit it twice before you can turn into a human again.

A bit laggy, but so much fun :D

pedrocoden 2021-10-15 18:40

wow, looks good!

bloham 2021-10-18 21:30

I nearly got the 1000 as highscore but just nearly. It gets pretty fast in the end. I like the transformation part of it. Switching lanes makes me a little dizzy, a tween or something would be nice :D It has something to play such a game with that kind of GFX :D

550MB? Sorry, that's just way too big for me to download for a test game

rjmarzec 2021-10-21 07:35

Very laggy, but I managed to still push through to give it a try! I really liked the random rolls for a protective hit, and the whole theme of running through a farm was very fun too! I wish my computer could handle it better to let me go after a high score, but still a fun jam game!
