I like retro-graphics

@depression Thanks for checking out the game, the art and design was a blast to do!

Tank controls took a bit to get used to, but overall good work

@mithoskuu We love tank controls here, thanks for checking it out!

Love the psx style look and controls.

cosmicb 2023-01-10 11:32

@elmikosch Thanks very much! PSX style is the best style.

Great game! I would suggest combine camera movement with reaper movement, I found myself always pressing both e and d controls. Beside that, great work!

@808074 getting those tank controls to work with a 3d camera was a bit of a pain, Will have another look at them.

Thanks for playing the game, glad you enjoyed it!

Very nice! I loved the PSX graphics as well. Also the pause/inventory menu was nice even though I didn't really need it, it looked good. Also the dancing animation at the end was dope.

@dkdwrek Thanks for your feedback! Indeed the ring menu was more style than substance lol as a few things were cut due to time. Thanks for playing!

Oh! One of my favorites! This game is so retro in the best way! Red fog gives it unique mood! Maybe camera movement can be bound to person movement. Also, camera collides me with house model. But it's just nitpicking. Overall it's fantastic game! I enjoyed it!

Very cool game. A plus for you for adding the possibility to play with a pad :D

cosmicb 2023-01-13 17:46

@tildecat Thanks for the kind words! Yeah we ran out of time to actually play test some controller bindings, def something we could look at if we do an update. We'll have a look at any clipping issues too! Thanks for playing!

Ooh cool! I like the retro effect. I don't know if it was intended, but on my screen it looked interlased. Not a huge fan of the tank controls though. Especially in the buildings. Although, that felt a bit like the old resident evil games. A bit hard, but playable non the less. I had a great time playing yours and that is all that counts in the end. Some more feedback:

- The music and sound effects are very well done. - I think the font could have been more clear. I see what you were intending, but it was a bit hard to read :-)

Love the PS1 graphics. Tank controls were a bit surprising and awkward, but overall a really cool project.

Funny enough, a similar concept popped into my head when the theme was announced, but I ultimately chose to go a different direction. I'm glad to see someone went with the "vengeful scarecrow" idea.

The graphics and style are very nice. I really like sounds and music, especially nostalgic funny sound of shouting man when harvest the heart. Good work!

I found the camera shift in the sheds and barns to be a bit disorientating and I got a bit stuck sometimes because I couldn't see my character but otherwise, I loved it! The graphics were great and I loved the style you went with! (Also enjoyed the use of the Wilhelm Scream and the dancing at the end was great touch!)
