- Why is there an apple if I can't do anything with it? Don't add unfinished things on the game.
- It isn't fair that the sharks can spawn over you.
- A cheap way to win time is go to the top and appear from below, then go to the bottom and appear from above, and so on..
The mechanics feel a bit too simple. AI is ok, but could use some tricks (like swarming or surrounding the player, though I know that's hard to do). It really seems more like a tech demo right now.
Thats an “interesting” graphics mix ^^ One can actually collect the apples, but I think it doesn’t make a difference in the scoring. I agree that the mechanics are too simple. Hope you get some more time in the next “real” LD.
For 2-3 hours it is not bad. It's a weird mix of pictures with the card playing starfish and the apple.
I understand you kept the apple in there. With little time you can't take it out again.
For me I would like the collision detection a bit better.
The first comment seems a bit harsh, but you should definitely enter the competition IF you have enough time.
If it's fun you should do it. If 48 hrs is not enough you can enter the jam competition or enter One Game A Month.
Good luck.
Pretty good for a couple hours, I look forward to seeing what you can do with 48 =D
same thoughts here, a good make for a few hours :) - although it could have possibly benefited from a few more ;)
I got 50 points... held my interest that long. :) I think you'll do well in the longer competition.
