Great little game, popped in every now and then to the jam to see how it was going.
Art is great, and captures the aesthetic of a 198x arcade `shooterlike x resource management` game. I think the balancing is a bit off, but that's to be expected with the nature of LD. Music would have taken this even further I think. All in all a great entry, good luck.
Hard to understand, I only got good after my first game over.
Doesn't really fit the them despite what you say :)
Fun little game! Definitely nailed the retro vibe. Ran into a weird bug where the shop menu kept automatically closing during one session.
Solid old arcadey vibes. Transforming into a boat and plane is pretty fun to lose the homing missiles/torpedoes. Fits the theme pretty loosely but I think you already pointed that out in your description haha. Still it's a fun time. I did have a hard time finding some of the delivery locations near the end but it was still fun zooming around all the same.
Good job!
This is so quirky and weird but I love it! It's super chaotic but also very tactical. Balancing all 4 resources while trying to do the objectives is really testing. I loved the aesthetic and overall feel!
This game was a bit difficult to understand at first but I got the general hang of it. The controls are quite challenging! Aiming the donuts at the landing spot requires a lot more skill than I thought, even with the aiming line to help you time it. The enemies are quite crazy to dodge and I found myself getting completely bodied by them. That aside, I could this as a type of minigame in maybe a larger game of sorts. It just needs a lot more polishing and balancing, good work!
Money seems very scarce, as you can spend a lot of your time just delivering bagels in the sky without any enemies bothering you. I tried fighting enemies for a bit to get an upgrade, but I really couldn't make a lot of progress. Maybe there were too many spawned by that point. Regardless, the sound design is pretty good and it's a great entry for the jam. Good job!
The central mechanic of transforming from plane to boat is really cool - the idea there two totally different ways of interacting with the map in front of you is such a neat idea. My only complaint is that I'd like a bit more of that. It would be neat if you had to transform into a boat more often - e.g. to get more bagels instead of spawning with them, or to get pickups/bonuses etc. just because currently it's a little air-focused.
I really enjoyed playing this, thanks for making it :)
This game SLAPS! I should have read the how-to cause I had no idea for a bit that you can transform into a boat haha. but damnnn that boat to plane transformation is *chefs kiss*. For a Compo this is seriously impressive! I don't know how you managed to fit in so many features. You should be super proud!
Wow, at first I thought the game way meh and had no interest, but as time went by and by DAMNNN !
Really nice concept, and amazing execution ! The game feels kinda endless given that I never manage to beat it, I went up to the point you have big planes trying to kill you, it was really fun ! Love the way things control, the upgrade thing is nice and having to swtich out between the two modes is a neat concept, boat for farming money, play to deliver and heal. If you get a call from some organization called "the army" wanting to recruit you as an engineed for a planeboat prototype thing, you'll know where that comes from lmaooo !
I"m impressed you managed to setup a leaderboard thing, congrats on this ! It gives the game another purpose than just completion.
Nice entry, pretty balanced game ! The crude graphics hid one of the best ideas for the jam
The game is really hard to control. It took me like 20 attempts to deliver a single bagel because I need to steer carefully and press the bagel button at a very precise distance from the landing pad. I was also confused for a while about how to turn into a boat since I only read the bold keyboard/money section of the instructions.
I think there is potential for a fun action game though, and you managed to implement a lot of mechanics and systems in the game.
