Nice game!

There is a bug with forge - you can put unlimited amount of shards to it, without decrease counter.Screenshot from 2022-10-04 22-19-08.png

I didn't finish. But I was hoocked defenetly. Probably tommorow I'll continue :)

Great fun! Would definitely benefit from those SFX you had no time for :grin: The graphics on the tree are great, and I enjoyed the mechanics. The ending is quite ominous, quite ominous indeed.

I met some bugs. Some blue shards were uninteractable - impossible to destroy, even with my mighty spacebar, and the worms didn't want to eat them either. Maybe they were spoiled. Hitboxes on the shards (or the hurtbox on the hammer) could use some improvement overall. I also broke a forge :grin: - I pilled so many worm bodies and red shards there that the dwarf became impossible to interact with (he was probably suffocation under all the dead worm parts) and I could not give him anything anymore.

Also: Все буде Україна!

Great job :D I liked it but did miss some a bit of sound. but besides that, very nice :D :thumbsup:

Really liked the animation and effects, and there's quite a bit of complexity in the game. Could definitely do with a bit of sound though.

very solid gameplay and idea, the hammer swing animation looks awsome! although i have to say it's kinda tired to keep pressing space key, it'll be real good if i can just hold space key and he keeping swinging hammer. also the collision of hammer seems a little small for me. overall a very fun game

Very nice game, but I can't seem to grasp the main point of the game……I just kept collecting and forging and spelling. It already took up too much of my time. Maybe you can accelerate the pace of the game by making the interacting faster?

MY POOR SPACEBAR, o my god :laughing:

Where do I start. First of all, I would really suggest making auto-pickup for orbs, for such harvesting game it's better to make it less monotonous as possible. I was smashing mine as psychopath :D Spacebar for killing is ok. I really liked the concept of killing - gathering - upgrading. A bit more variety to the environment (grass, trees) gonna be a huge plus to immersion. Dwarves are cool, I saw one of the was drinking beer. Overall sprites and animations are great 7594.jpg I would also suggest tweaking meteorite spread since a lot of them were falling outside the screen and worms get there quicker in most cases.

Sometimes camera was tricky, so perhaps autofollowing might improve the experience too. Screenshot (7598).png Worms killing was quite satisfying. Detachable limbs are done really great. You might notice total bloodshed in the middle of the map on my screenshots.

Also, I dont know how exactly sprites priority was done, but I had a case where I couldn't handover blue orbs to dwarf due to worm corpses spereaded around.

Comparing the income of blue orbs and available lava pits, I really used only 2 of them. I spent more time gathering them than actual producing.

Overall, quite an interesting game with potential. Good luck with further development if you decide to do a post-jam version. ps. looks like the attachments are broken. I re-uploaded screenshots here

Neat game. I like the animation on swinging the hammer. Music and sound effects would be a nice addition. Good job.

kumabot 2022-10-08 12:29

Nice game! Top down + resource gathering is quite fun. Maybe going the way of something like Crimsonland with these mechanics might be cool :) One note, I really missed some kind of an indicator where the ritual site is, easy to get lost.

This game is awesome. Had so much fun. I just had a few issues with the web build, it kept crashing on me. So, i looked for another option. Found the windows build. Oh MAN the windows build is soooo much better. You get bigger graphics to enjoy the roaring forges, great miners, and my thor's-like hammer smashing everything forever to kingdom come! I got into the groove and saved up a bunch of time and launched myself all the way to doomsday! Great entry man!

I'll admit that I mostly got confused. I got some shards, built a forge, and then got lost in a featureless expanse.
