This game is really cool!
SEALLONE YEA! This is epic, really like the creativity of this game!
cool game! love the voiceovers!
Rambo verses Turtles! Funny art works that suit the tone of your game. Well done!
wild and creative game! Just hilarious voice acting that really brings the experience to life! I love the unique mix of humor and action and the graphics are just perfect for the unusual setting. The controls are smooth making it easy to get into the fun. 💥 You all did an amazing job✨
Great game! It took me a few tries to beat but it was a good level of difficulty that kept me coming back to try again and again. The little bunnies were a bit OP the way they dodge you and it was quite tricky to figure out how to cheese them, but I had a fun time nontheless! Hilarious theme and great music, very good job, super impressive result!
can we get this seallone a girlfriend?
@gelsti Really glad you like it.
@sted we had a lot of fun making it. Thanks for taking the time and playing it.
@kaspjej They let me have the mic and just kept feeding me lines. We had more in mind but just ran out of time.
@sviborg We usually go for a more serious tone for our jams but just could not help or self's when we came up with the death harbor concept. We had a few debits on the controls but I think we landed on the right balance. Thanks for the positive feedback and we are really grateful for you taking the time to play.
huge respect for not using any engine, writing the code yourself and using opensource tools!
@david-huculak The bunnies where a really late add, we did not have much time to balance them. Glad you loved the music we had to remove the audio from voting due to the creative commons asset we used so thanks for the shout out on the tunes. Really glad you played and thanks for the feedback.
@darefus If we ever get a chance to make Death Harbor 2: Another Hare, maybe then he will find a bunny honey.
@aerloth Thanks, we are huge fans doing games from near scratch. Tools like Monogame and Krita are huge boons to us game devs. We try to promote them when we can and use opensource tooling if possible.
gfhfgh
The theme is there, visually the game looks cute and simple, you did a great job, bravo
@gelst Thanks
@sted I'm really glad people got it and did not just wonder what we were doing. :)
@kaspjej Thank you
@alxje I'm glad you liked the art, it made me wonder at times while putting it together if it would all work
@sviborg Thanks for your kind words, we all worked really hard on this and I think it all came together in a nice way
@david-huculak Those evil bunnies I added at the very end to make it more fun. I am glad you figured out how to out smart the rabbits. Thanks for playing and enjoying the game.
@darefus we do not want to distract him from his work :)
@aerloth We tend to just want the control of it really. Less is more to our team, plus we just like to torture ourselves I think. Thank you.
@kseniya Thank you, glad you liked the visuals. :)
The voice effects were definitely the highlight for me haha. You fit the theme perfectly and the humour throughout kept me playing. Thanks for making games!!
Awesome soundtrack! Though at first I started to wander around the complex because the sights of that many enemies was just too frightening ^^ Maybe it's just me, but the level seem a bit too hard considering that we can only aim every 45 degrees. Or is it just a bug on my machine? Anyway, good entry, respect the hair! :smile:
@kseniya Thanks for playing and you time.
@t-pirozzini We are crazy happy the humor landed, you never know if something the group finds funny will come though to others. Thanking us for making games means a lot, thanks so much for the feedback.
@tudvari Yeah the firing arch was a design choice. We were not sure if that was the right choice but as with all jams once you make a choice like that you roll with it. The enemy count was high, balance was something we did not have a lot of time to fine tune. I had the same reaction after one of the other devs did a balance pass. Our next jam I hope we have a bit more time for finer tweaks. Thanks for the feedback.
Adrian! No wait wrong movie... Great work, original and funny.
I like the art. It's cute. Very Hambo. The gameplay feels off, especially the shooting. Is it 8 directional? Also there's no feedback when you get hit or a clear indicator of player health.
Thank you everyone for all the comments and feedback! Honestly one of my favorite parts of this event is the constructive feedback. We can't improve if we don't know what we did wrong and what we did right, so every comment about things people loved and things people didn't love is so incredibly appreciated! Y'all are awesome!
Got to the end! This one was super tricky for me but I managed to make it :)
The voice lines are absolutely inspired, very funny :laughing: great work!
Game is so gooooood, nice theme matching, good job boys
Fun art and voiceovers, nice job !
The artwork for this is inspired. I mean, that octopus with 8 guns? Brilliant!
Working from scratch, this is impressive! I feel like it's a great start, and with a little bit of polish, this would be even smoother! I definitely don't feel like it is missing any core content, but here are some examples of small improvements: * A health bar would be a lot easier to keep track of than a number. At least, make the text larger so my eyes don't have to move so far :D * Being able to shoot radially rather than just in eight directions would make the gameplay a lot more flexible. * Balancing is always tough. One example is that the rabbits seemed to fire much too quickly. It just became a bit of a chore to sneak in a shot.
I eventually realized that bullets blocked bullets. You could implement a filter to ignore like-objects, but also I appreciated having a way to block the bunny shots XD
Hilarious concept with intuitive fun gameplay and timeless quips. Only thing I would ask for would be a damage indicator when seallone takes hits (also another opportunity for abundant one liners). Luring the turtles to pop off next to the rabbits so they did my dirty work for me!
Omg!!!It is S-o beautiful!!!Nice job 10/10!!!
@conor-wilson Glad you made it to the end the balance got ramped at the 13th hour.Thanks for the shout out on the voice lines.
@pimping Thanks we always try to match the theme as close as possible, it feels good to pull it off this time.
@zoglu Our resident artist really was pushed to his limit this time and the voice overs where a lot of fun to collaborate on. Thanks for playing.
@hawkin
We really love making these games from scratch and always aim to get a complete moment to moment and full play loop in. We usually make it but sometimes by the skin of our teeth.
The health bar was an early skip for us, one of the cuts we tend to put in the nice to have section of the design. The radial shooting was a debit early on, but once were working we stuck with the eight way. Still world love to see how a smoother set of directions would impact the game, maybe after the jam. The rabbits where a late add so the AI is a little too simple and aggressive.
Blocking the bullets was a bug that we just never removed, when we caught it we just sort of left it in. :) Thanks for playing and leaving really awesome feedback.
@bethwellstudios Yeah we oddly missed feedback on seallone. I'm not sure any of caught that one. Thanks for the feeddback.
@exa Thanks for taking the time to play and comment here.
This turned out to be a lot of fun! True, it's hindered by too high complexity: turtles have a lot of hp, it's hard to hit mice with this control, there are stops when shooting while moving. Otherwise it turned out to be a really witty and fun game =)
tbh this was so fun the only thing i would change is the shooting to have 360 directions instead of just 8, maybe for the rabbits too, other than that this was a great game!
>.<' Playing as an Seal Rambo.. hahahaha Amazing! Very fun concept.
