I can always appreaciate when people go for 3D for a jam game. It is never easy to get it working in this short time frame. The art and animations are definitely a highlight of this game. The art style really gives me some nostalgic vibes.
The game is quite difficult to understand at first - it maybe could use a tutorial. I suppose there was more to experience but I was not able to get out of the bicycle room.
Overall, really nice and visually polished jam game!
It seems like a beggining of a fun project, although it is confusing at first. Maybe add simple tutorial, or just add instructions in game's description on itch.io and ludum dare pages? I dont know if you are suppose to get out of the main room, but I didnt manage to do so with score of 54 on a bike? Graphics are really cool though.
@nash thank you so much for the positive feedback!!! This is our firs game and a lot of things went wrong but i'm happy we did somethin :D By the way I made a tutorial button and description so now you can actually know what to do
@janku Thank you very much for the positive feedback. Just as you advised I made a tutorial button and description so now you how to play! It was our first game and I'm glad someone liked something in it :P
Got a little confused playing but I love the look! This could be something really cool if you continue on with it
Gobling is love, Gobling is life. Solid game, nice work!
A good entry, love the art style, I was also a little confused at the start but I think you have soem great ideas to build on in future.
I love the look of the game - great job! As others have mentioned, was a little confused at first.
@deylinia thank you for the feedback! Id like to make this game better so can you tell what was confusing for you?
@wobbleblock thank you so much for the feedback! I want to make this game better so can you tell what was confusing for you?
@lakea Thank you I really have! Can you please tell what was confusing for you?
@fredrik-rosell Thanks! Could you please tell what was confusing for you?
Regarding confusion, I wasn't sure at first what you should try to do with those "circular sliders" that you controlled by pressing A / D.
insane the graphics are beatiful congratulation
My first try finished really fast but then I understood that I need to repair mechanisms in other rooms and I played smth about 5 minutes. And it was a litle bit boring you can add some mini games when repairing like in among us or make bigger tutorial. But of course it was small amount of time and you needed to do it fast. But game is good and it has some potential
Give a man a goblin and he has a son.
Beautiful graphics, nice gameplay, fun humour, that's all I an say, I love Gobling btw.
A bit weird controls to my taste, that's the main complaint from me, otherwise- a really good entry :) I saw that's your first game, so good job :D
It is a not bad interpretation of the theme. The game looks rather nicely, but the menu could've used some additional work. Not bad!
Nice goblin model
Seems to be a great start to a project. I enjoyed the clean graphics. I too was a little confused at the start, so a tutorial would probably help. I didn't have time for that sort of thing either in my game. Amazing first LD entry :raised_hand:
Nice game, love the Gobling :D I also enjoyed the biking minigame!
The graphics are next level for a gamejam. However, don't forget to polish the rest too. I had to leave the game to gasp what the controls are. I expect the game to tell me. The peddaling part implied (for me) that I had to mash A & D very fast, like ADADADAD. But the mechanic was appearantly hold-A, then hold-D. Maybe that could have been a bit more clear by graying out one of the circles when not in use, or to show one circle with the letter you have to press :-)
The graphics look nice and the setting is interesting, but the gameplay needs some work. I think if you add more minigames and things to keep track of while also increasing the pace of play, this could be a very hectic and enjoyable short experience. As it is now, the game moves along way too slowly and I found myself just sitting around waiting for something to break or the time to be low enough to have a reason to get on the bike.
But either way, great job putting this together in time for the jam. I know balancing is one of the hardest parts of game jams and there's rarely ever time to squeeze it in.
