Really good game, but getting surrounded by bugs makes you not be able to move which is quite annoying

kallam 2024-10-07 22:23

Good factorio style combat!

transkuja 2024-10-07 22:25

Really fun, I really dig the humor :laughing:

jadith 2024-10-07 22:26

Top shelf! I love the voice acting, the puns, the "oh shit" when your team is diving down to the scalp. You made cutscenes with cinematic cameras. Really well done.

thisisspy 2024-10-07 22:26

This is a very fun game! Pretty humourous too. Very fun yet simple gameplay, charming graphics, cool music. It's a five stars from me

obliterine 2024-10-07 22:27

Dude this is awesome. Not only is is extremely unique, but it feels pretty good to play. I love the graphics that you added for the UI and the environment. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I almost had a care package go out of bounds but I was still able to grab it. Overall though, nice job man. Good combat and really funny :)

zenorke 2024-10-07 23:00

Ahah so fun, introduction was on point ^^ Good job guys

n-o-x 2024-10-08 07:54

I liked it! I would have felt more of a Helldivers vibe if there had been more bugs \*laugh\*

lgk-productions 2024-10-08 14:49

Very fun game, no opportunity for a pun has been left out 😅

PS: nice voice-acting 😎

dfyzet 2024-10-08 14:50

This is the funniest thing I've seen today lol

Art style, sound design - everything is just perfect. Absolutely great job!

martta 2024-10-08 14:50

I think this is one of the best games out there for this jam! Excellent quality and smooth gameplay! And really liked the intro!! Hard to say how even improve this game, it is just perfect!

There was some initial lag when playing for the first time. I think it is Godot compiling shaders. Check out this youtube video how to fix the shder compilation problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG-H-IfXUqI&t=437s

trioxxdreaper 2024-10-08 14:54

Liquid Hairdiver are raidy but maybe if the bug was esier to see that can be better

bobap 2024-10-08 15:01

Fantastic game feel, A+ on the puns and references, phenomenal use of theme. I love the mixed media. Difficulty-wise it feels RNG dependent on the care package drops you get. Got the win, shotgun slaps. Only gripe would be the tan enemies on the pink background are sometimes tricky to spot. Oh, and thank you for the sensible default audio levels. Excellent design choices all around.

tommo120 2024-10-08 15:17

Thank you all so much for the feedback! It's really amazing to hear how much people like our game :smiley:

@alyxx116 Yeah, it definitely is very frustrating when you get surrounded. I wish we had a bit more time to add some sort of pushback powerup or something as a last ditch effort to not die in a mosh pit of headlice :laughing:

@obliterine The care package DEFINITELY can go out of bounds... We should have done something about this but felt it wasn't quite as high priority as some of the other tasks at the time.

@martta Is it definitely shader compilation? We noticed the hangs when loading but presumed it was when new sounds were being loaded in. We tried to fix the problem but couldn't dedicate any more time to it unfortunately :frowning2:

@bobap The difficulty definitely is quite RNG. I was responsible for trying to balance difficulty and I tried very hard to make sure you would always get useful supply drops. It's almost there but sadly sometimes it seems you're just destined to not be able to win...

martta 2024-10-08 15:45

Can not be sure, but it was first thing that came to my mind.

tatuvasara 2024-10-08 16:43

What a delightfully disgusting game area!

Making the bugs (or the hair) different color would have made the hair care a bit easier! Well done and fun!

kirass 2024-10-08 18:25

Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!

briskcz 2024-10-08 19:22

I really enjoyed the cheesy voice lines and cutscenes, the actual gameplay was not so fun as I kept getting surrounded by the bugs and could not shoot them so close to me.

laywelin 2024-10-08 19:24

Cool ideas and cutscenes were on point, well done :D The difficulty was very different on my second try, but I always had the feeling timing was great on getting resupply / drops so props for that. Quite an enjoyable experience!

iven 2024-10-08 19:31

What a clever idea! And the artwork is beautiful. I really loved the opening animation—it gives the project a very polished feel. *~~Scratches head~~*

**oops!**

emozdemir 2024-10-08 19:35

This the best i've seen so far ahahaha good job team. Also kudos for the linux build.

ricoshade 2024-10-08 19:38

Sick game idea! really enjoyed playing it and beat the absolute crap out of the mother niter! Good job!

multiifruittt 2024-10-08 21:38

AHAHAHAHA this is very funny

checkyourgages 2024-10-08 22:57

Super cool take on the theme!!!! Absolutely loved the callouts and puns, and the art style was really unique. If you'd like to see hair-loving bugs doing something more productive, check out our game from this jam Flea Circus :D

cam-moore 2024-10-08 23:06

I think this was my favorite one so far! Great work. I won!

beadyeyes 2024-10-08 23:11

Getting upgrades and shooting loads of enemies at once is super fun

erbol 2024-10-09 09:21

this is a very entertaining game. The mechanics of the game are very well done. cool idea

iwant-pizza 2024-10-09 09:30

My favorite game on jam, it's so so so so so so so so so

4tr33 2024-10-09 10:28

Thoroughly funny, the gun feels good, and it would be even better if there were a secondary weapon to clear a large number of close range monsters

vladez32 2024-10-09 12:48

Nice games, vampire survivor on the head XD

runningopenloop 2024-10-09 15:53

Good fun. I think it might be nice to switch weapons using handgun until you need to goto shotgun or minigun/smg - is it possible to switch weapons?

sabrina-ross 2024-10-11 00:50

u people are crazy, that water shader! WTF!! Love the simple gameplay, although the art looks a bit rough in parts very fun game though, those guns are gonna give me carpel tunnel though.

mackain 2024-10-11 21:16

impressive! probably my favorite game ive played this jam! well done

theparticularpixel 2024-10-12 08:51

hahaha great intro, loved the puns. fun gameplay too! nice little bit of variety in the enemy types as well as the guns and upgrades. speed upgrade was a life-saver but i eventually got trapped in on all sides while trying to grab a shotgun and died. nice take on theme. well done!

wind1e 2024-10-12 18:07

Having music AND voice acting AND a cutscene is fantastic for a jam! I also really dug the blend of 2d sprites on a 3d background. Gameplay is simple yet addicting, the variety of guns was fun to see, and trying to maximize your ammo use before switching made things chaotic at times. Minor nitpick: I did feel like the health pickups could have healed for a bit more, the extra incentive to go for risky health pickups might add to the gameplay.

pietmichal 2024-10-12 18:09

I love the intro.

str8griz 2024-10-12 22:06

I was pleasantly surprised how fun this game was. From the graphics, audio, voices all matched and set an entertaining vibe. On the boss I felt like I was getting hit by invisible colliders, or maybe it was just ticking damage. Really fun though!

world-search-you 2024-10-13 04:28

i was super impressed by the amount of puns y'all were able to fit into the intro cutscene lol. super fun game as well! only problem i had was that the tiny lice were hard to see sometimes

goddoesplaydice 2024-10-13 10:41

It turned out really cool except that you can't see the nits very well because of the color

oliver-day 2024-10-14 01:20

Overall a fun game. It was also a bit hard for me to understand the commander but that was part of the challenge.

tatu-heinamaki 2024-10-14 03:43

Humorous take on Helldivers with simple but fun wave shooter gameplay. I would've enjoyed getting more weapons earlier but then again finally getting a shotgun halfway into the infestation felt satisfying. First try ended with me almost finishing the infestation but greedily running into a care package, getting swamped by the enemies and getting stuck. On my second run I got stuck a bit earlier. Web version worked really well. Intro cinematic was epic and set the tone quite perfectly!

prunus-padis 2024-10-14 11:38

Super good game. The audio, the cinematics! Too bad there was no ending cinematic :(.

Some nitpicking. I would liked to have weapon selection so I could manage the ammo of weapons though trying to get enemies stack up before shooting for optimal shotgun use is fun too. The final boss was little easy since there was no adds.

I dont know why but i missed first carepackets appearing which discounraged me from moving encourage me to mostly circle around. I expected that behaviour would let carepackets to no miss/go far which appeared to work. There could have been couple of voicelines for the carepack drop since your sounds where otherways so good but hearing exact same voice line got little old and i was expecting some jokes etc more.

cliff-coffee 2024-10-14 21:41

Big clap for having input mapping and having voice acting and transitions. The "democracy officer" guy had me laughing for sure. Thanks I needed a good laugh today!

thecyberden 2024-10-15 20:14

Cool game I loved the animation and the humor haha, I did get stuck for some reason so I died but I understand about having bugs.

Overall sick game!

eugene-b 2024-10-15 20:37

Nice crimsonland like game. Theme and style are so fun!

ang-parodi 2024-10-15 20:43

Haha had a blast playing it. Really funny and well balanced!

thesmellofoxygen 2024-10-16 21:44

Quite funny. For some reason the hair effect stood out to me as particularly nice looking. Wish there were some indicator arrows or something to the care packages.

CARE PACKAGE INCOMING!

mardood 2024-10-18 20:30

I laughed, thanks!

ex3d0 2024-10-21 17:20

Really fun game, the humour is absolutely on point! I love the creative idea of fighting off headlice, had a blast playing.
