Very simple, short little game but I enjoyed it. I think its really cool how you took a 2d concept and brought it into 3d. I think the 3d version is better. The animations are really good for the amount of time you had and the whole thing fits the theme well.
Managed to make it to 1:12, no idea if that's good... It's a simple idea, but a fun execution, and I like both your graphical styles.
@austin-sierra at first it was supposed to be only 2d version, but then i thought that it's simple game and i can recreate it in 3d easy. @eaglev above 1 min is a good time, couse every secound game is harder, to the point that you cant hold anymore (this is the "inevitable" point). I don't like my 2d graphic style but that the best i can draw, need to work on that :D
Thanks for playing guys :)
I like the 2D version. Very funny drawing :)
Maybe it'd be fun in a party setting, but just pressing the spacebar doesn't seem very deep :)
I guess this could be complemented by powerups or other key combination. Maybe a typing game?
@christian-zommerfelds Thanks xD Yea i could add powerups or make it multiplayer so one player will be monster and other human, who smash his buttons faster. :D Typing game is a good idea i've never tried to do this genre of games. Maybe i should try. :)
It's very simple, but funny. I like how the monster on the 3d version licked the bone after eating the player.
It would be fun if this was a multiplayer the human vs the monster.
Good job!
@lawrence i know someone will appreciate this licking animation(i was laughing hard making this) xD Thanks. I think less people will play it if it was multiplayer, couse you'll have to find someone to play with you :D
The graphics are good on this one. The theme is correct here our wrist muscles will tire out before long. As far as gameplay goes there isn't much more than pressing the spacebar.
I really am impressed with the graphics. I'm a 2d only type of person, but maybe I can try out some 3d.
What tools are you using?
@benjamin-gare Both are made in Unity. 2d: just gimp for graphics 3d: i've created my models using simple shapes and "animation rigging" package from unity Music for both was made in audacity, mostly using my voice.
It works better in 3D but the "MS Paint" style of the 2d version is nice as well. I lasted for about a minute: dues the difficulty increase with time?
Funny models(●⌒∇⌒●)That lick at the end made me laugh lol
@kromeboy Yes, difficulty increase with time, to the point you cant hold anymore. And i think that about 1:30 is the max time you can get, closes i've been was something like 1:10. Thanks.
@rinko yea like i said before it make me laugh too. xD Thanks.
Simple, but funny. Actually laughed out loud when I realized what I was doing. Fits the theme really well! Good Work.
I made it 1:11. Simple but cute game! Thanks for the submission!
Nice take on the theme.
Okay, this is pretty funny, not gonna lie. Definitely made me laugh :laughing:
The animations on the snake after eating you are really funny too.
I mean, I think its on purpose, but the gameplay isn't very fun. Its literally just mashing a button...maybe like, having a set of 4 buttons pop up on the screen in random order and having to respond to that instead of just spamming one button over and over again would be a little better. Or maybe playing microgames of some kind. Idk, I just think spamming spacebar for 1 minute isn't really that fun.
However, I still think this is a good entry. It gave me a good laugh and it looks pretty decent. Good job!
@jordan-pavlic @darandin @sirikan thanks :D @william-corrin yea i know i could make gameplay more fun, but i went the way to make animations funny :P I'll try to make diferent version of game, now I'm working on mini project for theme "Tame a beast" so I could use this monster and made it that you'll have choices what to do, and this way you can tame him :D So there will be more gameplay.
I love to hear that i've made you guys laughing, that was my main goal :D
Found the whole licking the bone thing funny. Couldn't get the game to restart without loading the game again (3d version) - but had a good time :)
@dan-smith strange, works for me even in my mobile phone browser. :/ I forgot to write that you can restart by pressing "R" this could help if your restart button for some reason dont work :)
I think you did a great job of recreating your 2d game in 3d, especially the death animation which I thought was a cute touch. Some type of graphical element that better indicates the player's actions would be helpful. I knew I was losing when the mouth started closing, but I never really felt like I was having much impact. Whether it's a complex UI element like a bar that you have to keep charged up or even something simple like animating the arms, I think it would add a lot. Keep it up!
@bucketh3ad arms are animated :) but yea i should add some kind of bar or something, didn't think about that :) Thanks :)
Haha, it's a very simple take on the theme, but I like it. The worm animations in the 3d version are very cute.
Simple cool idea. The 2D version is kind of too static, I did not have any feedback about how I was doing. The 3D is better, but still I would have like to have some struggling of the worm or something to see how I was doing. Just nothing was too little. The 3D end animation was great, a pity it is just at the end. But cool idea and 2(!) implementations, wow!
Lol! you went the oposite direction of me! I made one game for 3 jams, you made 2 games for the same jam! The 3d one is very cute! I just visited your twitch page hoping to see how you animated the worm but there is no videos there yet...
Anyway, great Job!
@cassowary thanks :D @itzemii Yea i should do some kind of indicator that you're doing good or bad. Thanks. @glayson Aww yea, i'll upload video on my youtube channel, but I have about 8 hours of futage to process it will take a while, i'm trying to scrap it a little to make a video max 1-2 hours long :) Thanks.
great! i'll check again later!
@glayson if you like you can join my discord https://discord.gg/yrkSJGRqKw i'll be posting info there when i'll upload a video :)
Short simple game but I enjoyed it! Great job.
GG for this game ! Simple and funny :D ! Did you use Inverse kinematics for the 3D version ? :) It's funny to make a 2D drawing game and this version in 3D ! Big gg !
@lvl99chicken Thanks. :) @castoor yea i've used a little inverse kinematics for hands to move with monster mouth. Thanks. :)
Loved the 3D artstyle! I just know a little about modeling and animating, but for me it's impressive for a Compo entry. Max time I was able to hold as a Cookie Clicker player x) pic3.PNG
@ramil-dev yea i know a little too :D i'm working on another game right now :) if you like you can join my discord, there are some people that make games as well, everyone who want can join :) link is 4 comments above
wormfood.png Now my hands hurt... :laughing:
Such a simple idea, yet fits the theme perfectly. Interesting to have a 2D and a 3D version, definitely gets some bonus points for the novel idea. Well done!
@bernhard :O good job I've made different minigame with that monster, if you like to check it out it wont hurt your fingers as much :D https://genpaku.itch.io/tame-a-beast Btw. I'm not sure if I should invite everyone on discord separately, It's free to join discord so everyone is welcome here :D I have few little developers here :) You can feel invited :D https://discord.gg/yrkSJGRqKw
Funny game. It's impressive that you went for a double 2D and 3D entry for the compo, may have been the first ever to do it!
@albertnez maybe, but I think that someone could do this before. I'm working on another minigame now :) Trying to make one every two weeks.
Seeing the prototype and the 3D version was rather neat! And a good minigame, reminded me of something you'd see in a rapid-fire Warioware sort of thing! :heart:
@sketchygalore never seen "rapid-fire Warioware" but talking about minigames, I'm making a some kind of challenge to made one every two weeks, I'll upload new one on my itch.io today :)
