Love sounds fx !

How do you shoot idk sounds were good but I didn't understand the game Play my game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/the-blue-maze

Thank you for pointing that out @fifut! I'll keep that in mind in my next game.

iambaangkok 2022-04-06 08:07

The tutorial is in the second scene & controls are in the page description. But I might have to make those more noticible.

Thanks for the advice @sixgamesld!

so fun and so cute! Really easy to understand gameplay loop imo, great art style, the sfx were super charming and the music was really cool!

iambaangkok 2022-04-06 08:57

Much thanks @bosco ! I put quite some time into them (:

I'll check out your game too!

Great music, sound is also pretty good (and funny). Solid controls. Overall a nice game. Good job!

judgezedd 2022-04-06 17:18

Very well presented, had a good time with it. Good job.

Very hard with the instant death, but cool vibe. And great SFX :)

Nice game, the only thing i don't like is that when you get hit you just freeze and cant do anything, maybe a health system could work.

Great concept, lovey art and good audio. The gameplay was a bit too difficult for me, maybe less slimes spawning, and them moving slower would help me :) also maybe having a different button than K for shoot might be nice as well, but not exactly a big problem, also if the coolant was picked up rather than levitating towards you that might be nice too. Very well done though I enjoyed it.

Ooo this was fun! First off, I love the shooting sound effects! So funny! I really like the level design. It can be hard to design an interesting single screen map, and I think you did an excellent job of providing an interesting terrain to traverse in such a small space. Jumping and shooting felt really good, well done on the controls. I liked that the slimes were slow and easy to avoid, but that was offset by the large number that would spawn and the fact that one hit would kill you. It made it tense, but when I got killed I felt like it was my fault and not that I was getting cheesed by the game. The fact that the coolant bottles follow you, but aren't firmly attached to you, and you can loose them as you move around if you're not careful was a great idea. It adds an element of tension and stress to grabbing the bottles, avoiding the slimes, and getting them to the reactor. Overall a great entry I really enjoyed playing!!!

- Thanks @sharploaded & @judgezedd! I'm glad you liked the game (: - Thanks @jepjoh2 & @redsti for you suggestion! I intended it to be one-hit kill to make the stakes high. I'll keep your suggestion about health in mind for my next game! - Thanks @weirdybeardyman! I'll consider more about the difficulty scaling in my next game! I'm very happy you had fun with Coolant! - Thanks @the3rdhunter so much! This comment really really really makes me feel superb (:

I love the sound effect and the FX a bit hard to understand at first but really fun

zlitch 2022-04-08 17:11

The instant death was pretty hard, otherwise well done

namnam 2022-04-09 08:27

This was to hard for me, but gamefeel is cool :)

jzucc12 2022-04-09 18:14

Cool idea and the sfx were enjoyable. It think the player needs more health and the wait time after dying is a bit too long. Otherwise, it was a good submission. Good job!

Hard game, charming graphics and hilarious sound effects. Instant death is a little bit too harsh I think. Other than that great entry. Keep it up!

kromeboy 2022-04-10 11:26

very hard gameplay. Maybe the game shuldn't reset after each death but continue until the unavoidable core melt.

Loved the sounds.

koalatte 2022-04-19 09:42

those are among (if not) the most unique sound fx's i have encountered, had a good chuckle, well done!
