Well done! I really like the take on the concept, although I think that first screen you get is kind of daunting because there's so much to remember, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun! If only I had this many trophies ;-;
It was fun to protect the trophies, I tried to protect mainly those in the center. I like the animation when the guys "boom". Well done
Very cool! I like the art style a lot, gameplay was also pretty fun
Highest score I managed to get was 511 Capture.PNG
The pacing of the attack is good, love the subtle differences in enemy classes (hair, jetpack, etc.). I do miss a boss fight though, but it could be fun to see a boss try to grab 3 or 4 trophies, stuff them under its armpit and scurry away.
Love the tools and the overall idea. Great job!
@frizuo Thank you for playing! I know that a tutorial screen is a bit too much. I thought it would be fine, but after I made most of it, I saw it is clutter. But it was too late to change anything, since I did not have much time left.
@anonymouspanda Thanks for taking your time to play my game!
@spitzy Thanks! Nice high score.
@d00kl1 Oh, that is a great idea! Why I did not think about a boss fight. Thanks!
@reneantunes Happy to hear you like it. Thank you for stopping by to play my game!
Pretty fun! Felt like an old-school flash game.
Agree that the tutorial screen was a bit much, but it makes sense if you go through it -- blue guys destroy acid and lava, etc. I was expecting acid and lava to last longer and be more semi-permanent defenses -- since they got destroyed so quickly, I didn't see much point to them over the pump weapon. Also agree that a boss enemy would be pretty cool.
Good work!
Got 558. Fun! Losing feels a bit sudden, didn't understand at first why I lost. It would make more sense that you lose when all trophies get carried off screen. Music is pretty good. Good job!
@vgel Thank you for playing! The lava, acid and ice are not that useful, and least until you get a lot of crystals, then you can spawn large fields of them at once. At least that was the intended mechanic, but maybe I screw up the balance.
@sharploaded Nice highscore! I completely agree with losing condition. The problems that I was not able to solve with that, if there is only one trophy left on the screen: - player gains score based on number of trophies on the ground, so having one trophy left does next to nothing for the score, - it is really easy to defend last trophy, and I wanted for the end to be inevitable with the spirit of the theme.
I should have spent more time on this one.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
The game concept is funny and have a rather complex mechanics, and it's fun to play too! My suggestion is that I feel the feedback of attack is not clear, I can't tell which one I attacked and they explode far away from where I clicked, and sometimes it seemingly not attacking properly, it made choosing which to click a bit messy. But overall a good game, well done!
@yulotomorrow Thanks for playing! I made it so every time you hit an enemy it knocks them off away from the mouse, so defending the trophies would have been easier, but the feeling of hit and the visual of that are not great, so i understand the confusion :) And yes, there is a bug when sometimes it hit does not register. I tried to fail it, but I couldn't figure it out :( Thank you for feedback.
I understood the tutorial screen just fine. Glad I went through it, otherwise I'd have thought the blue ones just going through fire is a bug. (I did notice that the bike-pump does something weird to the blues, their sprite goes dark and it moves a bit over the map.)
Also the keys on top showed as 1, 2, 4, 3 for me, but I still needed to press 4 for the 4th item.
All in all decently fun, with some nice polish.
EDIT: Oh and it wasn't clear to me at first I could just move the mouse instead of click.
@remco Thank you for stopping by to play my game! If you hit (move mouse over) stickman it gets knock back from the mouse and turns red-ish for a moment. I must have messed up number order. It should be of course in order: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Not sure how that happened, XD And yes. You need to just mouse over the opponent to hit them. I did not want to make player click so much :)
This was a fun game, I didn't mind the pictogram instructions but they could be condensed. I would have liked it if some of the weapons stayed for longer, like the lava. But the pop sound effect was addictive and I played through a few times. My high score was 525.
@tiny-pig Thanks for playing and commenting! I'm happy to hear that it was good enough for you to play it a few times. Nice highscore, added to the score board!
The starting screen was a bit overwhelming before i realised it's much simpler than it looked. Took me a while to realise the pump worked on proximity, not by clicking. I like the depth with the different tools and enemy types, it had a nice progression to it
@poshdan Thanks! I'm happy to hear you liked it. About the pump. I did not want to make the player to click all the time. It would have been really tiring.
It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but when I did, I started crushing all those little thieves. The music is a bit abrasive, but thanks for giving me the option to mute it! Overall, this has decent polish and was fun.
Good game play. I was trying so hard for them not to take my trophies.
You know what, even though the graphics are simple I think they're really effective! Good work, I enjoyed playing
Challenging and interesting game! I have to observe carefully to find anyone who is stealing my trophy.
This was a nice game. I liked the graphics, and the gameplay was interesting. I will say I found it a lot easier to just swing the pump around everywhere - I think the game may have benefitted from making the other tools more effective and easier to use. The start screen was quite confusing at first glance, but looking at it I feel like it's made to look a lot more complicated than it really is - a lot of it could just be summarised in a few words. It also could have helped to colour the stick figures depending on what they're immune to - i.e. have the red ones be immune to lava but vulnerable to everything else. Overall though, don't let the amount of criticism deceive you into thinking I found this to be a bad game. In many ways it was very polished, which is rare for a jam game, let alone a compo game. Overall it's definitely one of the better games I've played so far.
Edit: High score - 627
Very nice stylized graphics! Very cool animations too! The instructions were quite a lot to take in at once, but you get the hang of it once the gameplay starts. I think introducing the different "weapons" visually over time would be a good way to decrease complexity at the start, but that takes time to implement of course (which we did not have a lot of :smile:). A very solid entry overall, good job :thumbsup:
@conduit-games Thanks for playing!
@itskdog Thank you for stopping by to play my game :)
@captaincarrot I'm glad to hear that. Thank you!
@justuspan Trying to defend as many trophies as possible is a way to go, since score is added based on number of trophies on the ground. Thank you for playing and commenting!
@nathanoc I like constructive criticism, so I'm thankful for it! I'm not too happy with how the gameplay turn out myself, so all suggestions are welcome (the color suggestion in great). That is really nice high score! And thank you for your kinds words.
@munkkeli Happy to hear you like the animation. I'm not good at animating, so it was really hard for me to create a decent running animation, and I wanted to get it right, since it was the thing the player would see through most of the time. My first idea was to go with harder and harder levels that would introduce new weapons and enemies, but you guess it correctly, time was an issue :) You can even find some leftovers from my plans in the source files, like: sprite of next weapon - bear traps and walls that supposed to be obstacles to the enemies. Thank you for playing!
Fun game, I like the soundtrack and graphics, rather cute :)
Only managed to reach 421 points. I love the little guys with the jetpacks! Great work with all the trophy grabbing characters! Cool game. Sort of part tower-defence part something else. Well done!
Very amusing game, really likes this. Direct and to the point, nothing to think about, really?
@sunjet Thank you! Happy to hear that.
@cogcomp Thanks for playing and for your kinds words.
@stuntcomposer Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
This was a fun little time killer. It had me seriously saying out loud, "Oh no! My trophy!"
Fun arcade game type thing, I like that it is more of a unique spin on your typical zombie game. You know, you're not just a dude shooting stuff. Which makes this unique and also more fun. It fits the theme very well and there is nice audio cues when you do things.
@shorkiesoftware Thank you for playing and commenting :)
@oxnh I'm happy to hear that you like it. I always try my best to match the theme. Thanks!
OMg that style remember me a old Nintendo game name "Robin Hood" and was some times in that style art to survive the fight. nice one :)
wow, awesome submission! i had a lot of fun playing this! :D
@bios3008 Thanks for stopping by to play and comment! I just check out that game, and I can see what you meant :)
@alexhoratio I'm glad to hear you had fun. Thank you!
Seemed like there are some really cool game mechanics, but the help page was too much at once (maybe a tutorial that explains one thing at a time would be better), and the game was too hectic for "learning by doing", so I mostly just used that car wheel pump to beat up the enemies until the "special ones" came and I lost. :sweat_smile: Making complex game mechanics easily understandable is a very difficult task especially for a game jam, though, so... still, nice work! :)
Really nice job! I got 593! It escalates quite quickly from I dont need any sprays, to spraying all over and hoping you dont dissolve any trophies, which was fun. I also appreciated that there was some strategy in letting people move the trophies away from the edge and not killing them instantly. I loved all the visual effects, and it was cool to have a diverse array of enemies. Very nicely done, I had a great time.
@binarydiv Thank you! I agree. The tutorial page is way too messy. It sounded as a good idea at first, but after I was over half way done, I realize it was too much information at once. But it was too late to change it due to time running out. I am happy to hear you like in-game mechanics!
@jasontherand Nice score! Thanks for your kinds words. It always makes me really happy to hear that someone liked my game :)
It is trully wild haha. I love the mechanics of "inflate" the enemies and they have a good amount of variation too. Nice entry. I really enjoied the sounds, nice design. Maybe I suggest you grow the collison of enemies a little bit to make easier to inflate then. Congrats.
firefox_yqK4KAbz6l.png
I had such a good time destroying these guys, until they overpowered me and took all my trophies. I loved the game, there was a lot of variety and strategy to it. When I saw the tutorial chart at first it was confusing, but after playing I could recognize what everything really meant and it was easy to understand and appreciate. It's really cool that the enemies all have distinct weaknesses and strengths. Overall, very nice and elaborate for a compo entry ;3
@ulisses I'm glad to hear you like it :) Thank you for suggestion and for playing!
@payaosito Happy to hear that. The tutorial could have been better, more condensed. Thanks for stopping by to play!
Very nice entry! The tutorial chart was a little bit overwhelming at first. It makes more sense after playing the game. Maybe an interactive tutorial or showing a popup like "X is effective against Y" when a new enemy type appears could be good. But it's still fine as it is. Especially for a compo game. Keep it up!
Also here is my score: oh_no_my_trophy.png
@seng Thanks! Interactive tutorial is a great idea! Nice score. I hope you have good time :)
my trophies :( I got them for participating....
@nullval They got mine too! Thank you for playing! :)
I really like the take on the theme, and the painting-on defences mechanic was really unique! It took me a while to understand what was going on but when I got the hang of it it was fun to play! Some more clear way to show what paints to use on which enemy would be nice, like maybe if you hover over an enemy type some UI could show you because the blue ones were weak to blue spray but the red ones didn't seem to be weak to red, that might just be a personal thing though. Overall, I really enjoyed playing and this is a great entry that made me want to play longer to get a better high score!
@black-flag Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I agree, the colors of the enemies should be chosen in a way to fit either what they are weak to, or resistant to. That would have been a way better solution. I'm happy to hear you like the in-game mechanics :)
Cool! :smiley:
I like the art. The game feels good to play and I like the unique weapons.
Good job!
@arqitech Thank you!
I found the controlls a little to hard. The game is great wich to see this with a little more forgiving controls( I’m not a gamer :) ) No worries I’ll rate the game on the good game and not my skills :v:
Awesome work! As others have mentioned, the tutorial screen was A LOT of information all at once, but I don't have any better suggestions of how you would convey all that information under the constraints of a compo game. And more than being overwhelmed at the tutorial, I really liked how much depth all the different interactions offer. Splitting the game up into different levels and slowly adding more and more abilities and thief types per level would help lower that steep learning curve. But again, that's not something that I'd expect for a compo game. You just have to play it a bunch to figure it all out.
I really liked the intensity of the game. It starts to get wild as all those little guys are running everywhere stealing trophies and your attention is being pulled in so many directions. The music and sound effects were great. Not distracting over overly intense when the action started to ramp up. Overall an awesome game! Really enjoyed it! Congrats!
Fun game! Managed to hit 674 but I barely used the spray cans since swiping the mouse rapidly in circles was usually enough.
@senso Thank you for the feedback. I probably should have used: Z, X, C and V key instead. The 1, 2, 3 and 4 keys are quite further away from the body and hand is on top of other keys. Thanks for playing!
@the3rdhunter The levels and slow introduction of enemies and weapons was in my plans, but I scrap it pretty quickly, as you can suspect, due to time. I am happy to hear you liked the music. I have no musical background, so I'm just trying different sounds arrangement in Bosca Ceoil until it is suitable to listen. Thank you for playing and your kind words :)
@frib Thanks for feedback. That is a crazy high score, well done. And thank you for stopping by to play my game!
Nice job! I felt compelled to play for a long time which is always a good sign! Clean job with the graphics too.
@wongkongphooey I'm happy to hear that :) I hope you had a good time playing my game. Thank you for playing and for the comment!
Not to brag or anything but you are looking at the current world record holder in "Oh No My Trophy":
trophy2.png
I'm a big fan of score-attack games, and this is a great one. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out an optimal strategy. In the beginning I would only focus on defending the middle and ignoring the harder to defend "outer-trophies". This made me survive longer, but I gained less score since I had fewer trophies. When I managed my above score I defended all trophies, and saved most of my more powerful abilities until I was past 500.
It's insane that this is a compo game; the visuals, audio and variety is superb.
I think you did a great job at explaining all the mechanics with pictures, instead of a wall of text. If anyone feels confused and overwhelmed, just play the game once or twice, then look at the picture. I promise it makes perfect sense then!
@simon-rahnasto Thank you so much for your kinds words! I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed my game. I see you figured out "the strategy" behind getting more points :) That is an insanely good highscore, well done! With getting best score, you also get bragging rights :P
I wish, I had more time to add more stuff to the game and balanced it better, but oh well... Thank you one more time for taking your time to play my game and for commenting :)
highscore.PNG
Nothing to brag about :P
The game was fun, the music was suitable and it got really intense later. Amazing level of polish for a compo, a solid entry. Great job!
@ehon Still better highscore that mine :) Thank you for playing and for the comment!
Cool game, it was pretty fun and got difficult quickly, I also really like the animation. The only thing really is that the green power up says 4 but you enable it by pressing 3. Other than that, it was a great game for a compo!
@moooks Thank you for playing my game! I know, I can't count XD
Screenshot from 2022-04-10 13-51-35.png
i like this tutorial
@diccuric-sigeon Wow, awesome score! Thank you for playing!
Great entry! Got to 655. Great humor and fun gameplay :D Very simple but also very entertaining! Difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly towards the end. I wished the sprays were a bit more effective or that they could be used a bit longer!
@nyxkn Great score! Thank you for playing and for the feedback :)
Really nice! With a little more juicy and sound design it could energize the game but it's already fun like that! =) What is this tool I use to destroy trophy thieves? It looks like a bicycle pump ^^
@korvack Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) The whole list goes: Car Wheel Pump, Lava Spray, Liquid Hydrogen and a Can of Acid Rain :P
Very nice entry! The combo screen was a bit scary, but it is easy to grasp when you start playing. Nice style and composition, and cute animations as well (felt very polished for a compo entry). And I like the overall theme selected for the game! Well done!
@hadryel Thank you for your kinds words and for playing my game! I hope you had fun :)
Oh wow! This got hectic fast. I thought I was doing well, then all of a sudden I was overrun with trophy thieves. The power-ups/attacks are quite random, but they work nicely with the wacky premise. Some questions do remain though. Like, why have I got so many trophies? And why is everybody after them? And why am I so violently protecting them?
Good stuff :8ball:
@oddballdave Thank you for playing and for the comment! I'm glad to hear you like it. Unfortunately, I did not create any interesting story behind the trophies. I just thought it would be a funny idea for a game.
Really cool game ! A bit hard to understand at first, but then I had a lot of fun. There is a lot of mechanics here for a jam game !
Good job :slight_smile:
@meta-link Thanks! Yeah, the tutorial screen is a "bit" too much :)
cool beans :) works pretty well the system where you have to mouseover the npcs several times is a bit odd to me also the screen with all the possible combinations on-screen at the start is way too dense imo ^^# id advice for you to try'n break it up into several tutorials spread over time in your next game - bite sizes :)
i'd argue it gets a bit repetitive still it works well and it's pretty entertaining gg, keep it up :)
@team-choo-choo Thank you for playing my game! The game get a repetitive after a while, this is why I decided to make is as short as it made sense. Thanks for feedback.
Got 682. Well that was chaotic. Liked that you can push dudes with trophies back, and don't have to click on them.
@morricore Thank is a crazy good score! Congratulation on getting to the top of scoreboard :) I did not want to force the player to click so many times, so I went with damage-on-touch mechanic. Thank you for playing and commenting!
Neat concept, very pleasant to play. Not much to add to that statement, it's a simple game which works extremely well. Excellent job, and excellent entry!
@mrpouletbzh Thank you for your kinds words! I hold you had good time playing my game :)
MYYY TROPHIESSS
@holtzzy223 Not any more :P Thank you for playing my game!
A great compo entry! The enemy variety is a bit overwhelming at first, but after a few tries it becomes much easier. As others have said before me, it could use some more work on the target hit feedback. Other than that, it's a really solid game. And I have to applaud your choice of traditional weaponry in dealing with intruders. ;) onmt.png
@lcstark Thanks! Nice score. The hit implementation for sure could have been better, I'm not really satisfied with it either, but I had much time to improve it :)
Very nice! I like the icons-only tutorial screen, it helps convey the info a lot easier than a wall of text. The gameplay was hectic and fun and reminded me of some of the old Flash games I used to play :) I couldn't figure out what was the secret to the blue guys - sometimes it seemed like I needed to punch them a whole lot, others died much faster. Overall, great job on a very fun entry!
@elimarable I'm happy to hear you like the tutorial, although I still think I should shorten it somehow. Thank you for playing and for your comment! The blue stickmen are immune to both lava and acid, only ice slows them down and the only way to get rid of them is to use pump :)
Fun idea. Not at all what I expected. Good job!
@jzucc12 Thank you for playing!
Nice game! Made me nostalgic for Stick Page or whatever those flash games were called. The variety of interactions was cool
@animawish Thanks! Hope you had fun :)
Haha this is a cute game, I really like the sound of them going pop. I was stunned on the instruction page for a while, I like that you used equations to explain the interactions, but perhaps not everything should be done with equations :joy: I kind of hope the sprayed traps could stay in the game longer or be allowed to draw longer trails, but I enjoyed playing this anyways, it was fun, satisfying, and challenging :laughing: Pretty good job especially for a compo!
@specturnal I'm glad to hear that :) Thank you for playing and for your comment!
As someone has already pointed out, the instructions screen seem daunting at first. Other than that it is a simple but enjoyable entry ;-) Nice job!
@island-jam-2-group-3 Thank you for playing :)
Fun little game! Always good to see more Godot games on these jams as well :) I also *think* I might have gotten a new high score of 684 based on what I see in the game description at least. :smile:
highscore.PNG
@rubixnoob13 Thanks for playing! Awesome score, added to the top of scoreboard :)
I like that it is easy to pick and play and that you can improve once you learn the strategies against the different opponents.
Well done!
Very well made and enjoyable clicker game! Liked it and played it more than I thought I would at first. Like the music too, giving a good vibe but a bit stressful at the same time :)
@hmightypirate Thank you! I hope you had a good time.
@kosmosael Thanks! I'm glad to hear you like it.
It took a little time for me to get the hang of it, but after that it was fun trying to get a higher score. The tip on not needing to click with the first weapon made the game a lot more enjoyable, so I would make it stand out more in the description (e.g. moving it up higher).
The music fit the game well, and the animations are satisfying.
Highscore: 572
@ldjq I'm glad you like the game and the music! Maybe your high score doesn't make it into the leaderboard, but it's still better than mine :) Thank you!
Neat game! I really enjoyed playing and thought the connection to the theme is done quite well :D The graphics, audio etc. are all nice too, so the only feedback I have is regarding the gameplay- it feels like a simple mouse-pointing duck-hunt type game, since the resources required to use the abilities are quite scarce and have a negligible impact on the gameplay. I also think the that, despite the clear effort that went into it, the tutorial was a bit crude, and could *really* have benefited from some text.
That said, I think the balancing with AI was just right, and I still had a lot of fun! Really impressive that you were able to make all this while in the compo- I participated in it too and made something maybe half as good as yours :sweat_smile: Good job!
Really fun! I like the little animations of the enemies.
Reminds me a bit of Dig Dug with the pumping mechanic, I really liked it. Fun, easy to learn and hard to master. Also: dziękuję za opinię!
quite frantic, neat concept
Nice job. First try I got 450. I enjoyed the different enemy types. To spice things up maybe there could be different level types.
@arihan10 Thank you for playing and for the feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my game. I absolutely agree that tutorial is not good. I'm not happy how it turns out, but it was too late. As something that I can write in game description, I added tutorial as last thing to the game, so I did not have time to re-made it.
@sawyer Thanks! I'm happy you like animation. It was my first time trying to animated something running, and it turns out way harder that I expected, but since that was something player would see all the time, I wanted to get it right :)
@lletzgogames I never played Dig Dug, but the idea was based on the mini-game "The Settlers: Smack A Thief". Dzięki :)
@mmason Thank you!
@naali Thanks for playing! There was an idea for different levels with walls and slow introduction of different weapons and enemies types, but it was scraped due to time limitation.
At first I didnt understand the weapon system, I got to use them only after reading the description, thats what I get for clicking space too fast.
I like the theme interpretation a lot, game works without any problems, cool graphics and sound :)
@mikouaji Thank you for playing and for your comment!
1650557576-chrome_VFOxjgTNeQ.png
I think that's the most terrifying tutorial page ever, still pretty cool.
I see a lot of comments asking for a slower ramp to the weapon system, but I honestly found myself not really getting all the weapons. My first run I only got blue, and my second run I didn't see any green, could have been just me missing pickups but things got more fun when I got lava for the second run.
@matthewrobo Thank you for playing my game! Yeah, the tutorial is a bit much at once :P The problem with other weapons (acid and lava) is, there are quite OP, if there are in huge quantities - I guess same as in real life XD This is why there is 50% chance of spawning ice crystal and only 25% for each acid and lava.
@zimny11 Maybe a pity system could work, where if you get too much of one crystal you have a higher chance of getting the others?
@matthewrobo That is a good idea! Ah, if only I had more time to playtest, except last 1-2h, I guess that is a charm of LD :)
WTF? :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: 9/10 would play again
@oillen Thank you! Happy to hear you liked it :)
Interesting and fun, although I did end up using the bike pump and moving the mouse quickly across the screen, maybe fewer or more powerful obstacles could've been nice. And I didn't understand exactly why it game overed since there were still trophies left?
@xjcl Thanks for playing, commenting and feedback! The game ends when there is only one trophy left on the ground. The real reason for this is: it's way too easy to defend the last trophy. And made-up reason is: I didn't want the player to be left without any trophy :P
Cool game, it's a lot of fun. I like your appraoch to the theme. Nice work.
@projectaroid Thank you for your kind words :)
What a fun idea, I really love it. People running for all the trophies, messing with them, a fun idea for sure. The wall of rules at the beginning was really intimidating and didn't stay in my brain, I would recommend placing the effects of the currently selected weapon onscreen somewhere so the player doesn't have to commit the interactions to memory in advance. Otherwise it was fun, felt good, and was really funny.
@david-york Thank you for playing! I was planing slow introduction of enemies and weapons with each level, but the whole idea with levels was removed due to time limitation. Anyway, thanks for feedback too!
Well done!
@evgeney24 Thank you!
