This was great. It's a fascinating take on the theme and from a technical standpoint it's super impressive. This is just a really cool entry overall!
Cool game with a lot of potential. The graphics are nice and the progressions seems good. A drag to select would be handy as sometimes it was hard to select units behind buildings. Really fun game in general though :)
This is an amazing entry! Just all around impressive from the art, story, sound and gameplay. Great game :)
Amazing game! Everything is great from the art, gameplay and sound :) The whole art style and concept is great as a mix of 3d models and 2d sprites. Very impressive overall.
Cool game with a very interesting atmosphere between the colors, retro style and great music!
Love this art! The concept is great and really well implemented in my opinion. It was a bit hard to figure out what to do with the blood spewing but the rest for pretty intuitive. Very fun overall!
This game is great. Very clever! I enjoy that it's a puzzle game but it also requires a degree of skill. Also, plus 1 for it being made in go. The levels were paced very well with the addition of new mechanics being rolled in slowly. Overall, this is a great entry :)
Cool game that manages to stay interesting by changing up each level enough :) It would be cool if they threw the dodgeballs in your direction but maybe that's too hard. The animations were cute and perfect for the aesthetic. Great entry!
Cool game with interesting mechanics, especially the experimental mode :)
This game is very good imo. The graphics are nice and refined and the city mood is set by the dull colours and fog. It would be cool if the other lane had incoming traffic mainly to see what a head on collision with the shield looks like! Overall, the game is very fun and polished :)
Easily one of the best games I've played so far. I love everything about how it looks from the colours chosen to the character designs. This is really cool and super fun!
Cool idea and the music and sound was great! The controls felt like they could be a bit more responsive. It's a fun entry :)
Thank you again to everyone that's played it so far, all the feedback is super useful and I'll definitely take it on board for the future.
@trusty Good point on the tutorial, it's escape to go back but I should have it mentioned in there so ty. I'll add it to the description above
~~Interesting :thinking: . Fun game mechanics and the music makes it feel like a rhythm game at times which was cool. The art is great as well :)~~
Edit: this was for a differant game
@maximbegunov Yeah, apologies, I had 2 game tabs open. I thought your game was great. It's a great mechanic for puzzle games and the atmosphere is really cool :)
Cool concept with a nice aesthetic! It would be cool if there were more sound effects I think. Enjoyable overall though :)
Interesting :thinking: . Fun game mechanics and the music makes it feel like a rhythm game at times which was cool. The art is great as well :)
The lighting, effects and overall polish made this really enjoyable. Flow mode was really cool although hard to make out the direction of the arrows some times. Overall though its very satisfying and enjoyable :)
Short and satisfying game with great particle effects!
Wow! This game is beautiful :) . The atmosphere that this sets between the visuals, sounds and gameplay is impressive. Great entry!
I really enjoyed it :) I felt the progression was fair without being too easy which can be tough to balance. The palette is quite nice and really suits the overall style. Also, the music is hilarious. It was cool to watch your thought process and progress on twitter as well :)
Good puzzle game that manages to keep interest by adding new mechanics as you get used to older ones. The puzzles are clever and well thought out. A way to move faster would be useful for levels with a larger layout. Great entry overall and quite fun :)
Nice and relaxing game. It would be cool if there was something to track numbers such as biggest combo or number of each colour. I really like the art though and it feels peaceful to watch the image grow as I progressed. Cool entry overall :)
Very peaceful and relaxing game :) Really enjoyable overall!
@jimanzium I did, apologies for that! I've edited it now :)
I really like the whole concept of it and the music is great :)
There's a lot I like about this game! The fast, responsive controls make it easy to get used to and satisfying to finally complete a level. One issue I had was the respawn being so fast that I'd enter a direction accidentally just after dying. This is minor of course as it only happened a few times. Overall though, I really enjoyed this and feel there's a lot to master as well :)
I really enjoyed this. Just a great concept overall :)
I like the mechanic but it's very easy to stay at max height to avoid everything. Playing normally though, it's fun to try weave between the sharks :)
It's a neat concept with satisfying progression. Reminds me of clicker games in a way. Overall it was quite fun though :)
I like the graphics and choice of color palette! I feel like the jumping was very floaty which made it hard to fall in time to catch enemies. Overall, It's a fun game and attacking felt very satisfying :)
I really enjoyed this game! The art is great and fits the atmosphere well. Being able to zoom out would be nice in the later stages to see the whole creation. The progression felt great though and overall it a really well-made game.
Relaxing game that makes for a peaceful experience :)
Just to let you know, your link leads to a 404
Great game with a simple and fun mechanic and a lovely colour scheme!
This was a lovely game :) The art style is perfect, along with the designs for the characters and store. The dialogue is great as well to the point where each character felt unique and realistic. Overall it's a brilliant story and a nice experience! Also, all the made up genres sounded amazing!
Fun concept and the art style is nice :) Being able to move while in the air would help with platforming I feel as I found it difficult to reach the turret platforms consistently. Some indication that the airship is being hit would be helpful as well. The models are quite well done and suit the style of game perfectly. Overall, I think this has a lot of potential :)
I love the whole art style and designs in this. The attack is great as well! This is a very solid and enjoyable entry!
Very nice and relaxing game with a chill atmosphere to it. The difficulty progression felt natural as well which was nice :)
Cool game with some nice style to it :) The difficulty ramps up a bit slow but it's still quite fun!
This games looks great, especially the lighting and effects. I like that there are so many enemies but the damage feels too low to deal with so many on the harder difficulties. The gameplay and movement is quite fun though and overall it's an enjoyable game :)
This game is great! It captures the stress of flying through an asteroid field perfectly. The art is perfect and broad range of issues that come up keep it interesting. I think having different sounds for different issues would help recognize what needs to be done quicker. Overall, this is a really fun game and a great entry :)
This captures the atmosphere and stress of the situation perfectly in my opinion! Great concept that has a lot of potential :)
I like the particle effects. Overall it's a quick and fun game!
That was fun! The sound effects are hiliarious. There's something amazing about watching the wolves get thrown back off the map :laughing: . Good entry overall!
Great game! The sounds and music were perfect and fit the gameplay. Having more of an indication of the direction to head would be handy for the more open rooms but that's minor as it's already intuitive enough. Overall the game is fun and presents a consistent, comedic atmosphere :)
I love the idea of this! The whole game has a great atmosphere t it between the colours and the music/sound. It's interesting to come up with strategies to progress as well. Having an indication of when the plants would emit energy would be useful. Enjoyable game overall :)
Fun and clever game with good humour :)
Nice game that captured the frantic mood well. All the objects were super recognizable which made making combinations easier.
Pretty cool for your first game! Definitely better than the first game I made. A score counter would be a cool addition. Overall though its fun!
Cool idea and it was implemented well :) The graphic style is nice which is a plus
Really cool game that I feel has a high skill ceiling which makes it satisfying to race through levels as fast as possible!
This is a very clever and well thought out puzzle game. I enjoyed that there were new challenges/mechanics introduced in each level which made the later levels less overwhelming. The sounds were perfect for this as well! Overall though, it was a fun and satisfying game :)
Great take on the theme! The events would sometimes repeat the same ones a few times in a row but overall it was fun :)
Fun game with a nice color palette and a solid game concept :)
Great game! Some of the best sound effects/music/voicing so far. The progression felt natural as well and the guns were satisfying to use! Overall this was very solid :)
Cool game and the graphics are nice :)
This game is nice and you can tell it's very polished! This would make a great mobile game!
This is great :) It reminds me of a mario party mini game and the implementation is so intuitive
The game is very atmospheric overall and the graphics are stunning :)
Fun game! It's naturally hard to manage the two entities separately and pushing the towers off the edge was very satisfying. The graphics were nice and made it so everything was easily recognisable :)
Cool idea with a nice art style. It would be cool to move a bit faster but still quite fun :)
Very well made and very nostalgic. This pretty much captures the essence of those perfectly in terms of visuals and sound! Cool entry :)
Very fun and stressful, the sound effects are perfect for the atmosphere of it as well
Fun game :) I liked the pacing of the difficulty as it felt natural and fair. The colours and sound effects work really well for this kind of arcade game. The music is amazing as well and fit the aesthitic perfectly. It would be handy to limit the player to the viewable area. Overall, this game is very simple and fun. Also, it's super satisfying to just run through a group of enemies and watch them explode!
Really clever game! Took me a minute to figure out what to do but after that I enjoyed it! I liked that you could rearrange the pieces as well so you couldn't get stuck
Fantastic puzzle game. Some really clever mechanics and I like that it allows you to start and pause the worm to see how it goes. I think having a speed up button would make restarting levels less punishing when trying to figure out later parts. Overall it's a great entry!
Really enjoyed this. I like that the skeletons staying on fire and the bombs created more obstacles each time you went back to the start which kept the game interesting rather then tedious. Also really liked how some of the mechanics interacted like the arrows falling on skeletons or the blocks being burned and the skeletons walking off. One thing I would change is the camera. It lags behind when moving forward which makes it hard to see what's coming. I found for platformers it's better to leave the camera with the character centered but that's just my preference. Great job on the game!
@giovannibarrottu Thanks for playing! That's fair about the attack. I was trying to make it so the player has to think about their attack but having a quick attack with less damage might have been more fun. Glad you had fun!
@glitchman Such a good screenshot <3
@ghost-wave Thank you so much! Very fair about the spikes lmao. Would have liked some boss music but was running out of time. Maybe some time in the future!
@jedemac Yep that's the end! That was kinda rushed at the end. You should have been able to press escape or attack to go back to the start though so that's strange. Glad you had fun and thanks for playing!
@holyblackcat That's strange about the sound. I'll look into it. And yeah forgot to disable healing after dting lmao. Thanks for letting me know!
@nicmagnier Thank you and I'm glad you liked it! Yeah I can see it geting repetitive so that's fair.
@loig Another attack is probably a good idea, maybe a weaker attack with less endlag or a projectile of some kind. For the potions I tend to make jam games too hard in the past so this time I was going for the safer side lmao. Thanks for playing!
@masaru The charge attack does more damage which lets you kill enemies it a single hit if you're patient. That should probably have been communicated better in game! And yeah, the level transition is something I really wanted to add but was running out of time. Something for the future though! Glad you liked it and thanks for the compliments!
@frogman Yeah seems the spikes are a common issue. I felt like some terrain was needed to make the fights more interesting but there's probably something better. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
@noobhereo Glad you had fun! That's fair about the combat. I felt the knock back would give enough time to move but can see the lack of control becoming annoying. I was thinking of making it so that you could roll out of the end land which might help. But yeah, it's just a poor little crab. Thanks for playing!
@smooches Glad you liked it! Hopefully I can refine it to be less clunky in the future!
@rouge-dragon Thank you!
@falke Thanks :)
@minibobbo I found projectiles tricky since it's hard to add a sprite since if they are shot at an angle the shadow wouldn't adjust if it was part of the sprite. I made it so that the hitbox was just in the projectile but it's not intuitive. Glad you found another strategy to get through! It's cool to hear about that stuff. Glad you had fun and thanks for the feedback!
Thank you to everyone for the compliments and thank you for playing and taking the time to leave feedback. I have read through all of it and will work on it in my spare time. I hope to get around to play as many of you're games as possible over the weekend. Also thank you to everyone for pointing out the bugs, it's a huge help.
This was fun and I really enjoy deck based games. Would be cool if you popped back out of the the monster you're delving into and get a really powerful attack on whoever you were fighting!
Interesting game that I think could have a lot of potential. One thing taht would help is being able to tell how many steps away enemies are. I like planning the movement and trying to get them to walk into me. The art while simple is really effective and fighting while descending a massive spiral stairs is a really cool concept!
Really fun game. Feels great whenever you get momentum. Love the style as well. Really want to learn pico 8 someday, games from it look so good.
Fun game! I enjoyed the resource management and the walk back felt tense since you can lose the berries. Not sure if it's a bug but when I collected the potion I turned into a wolf anyway. Really enjoyed this overall!
Interesting idea with nice sound design. The character changing sizes made it hard to control I feel. Would be cool if the effect was more subtle.
Pretty interesting game. The mood and aesthetic were insanely good. Since it was so dark I missed the fact there were notes until the very last one. Overall though it was a good experience!
Nice idea to make an adventure out of a golf game and the level transitions were really cool! Also liked the mechanics introduced throughout. Would have been cool to see the spring used in more areas. Good work!
It's a shame you couldn't add combat cause this was pretty fun. Even though there was no challenge it was so enjoyable to just knock through everything. Especially when a couple would land in the same spot and you could knock them all out of it! The game is polished really nicely as well with good sound and art!
Really nice game. Managed to get through first try with only a single tentacle left. The narration was very nice and made it feel very personal which I really enjoyed! Great work!
Very fun game. Really liked trying to time each trap. Once you have the timing down it isn't too hard. It woould be cool if they came in threes or closer together so you're forced to use all traps as well. Also different aliens that move at different times would add to the challenge. I also really liked the art and music. Creates a really strong setting. Great game overall :)
Nice and fun minigame. Some clicks didn't register for me but it just forced me to play patiently which was also enjoyable. Something cool would be if you had to get a certain amoount tof each item like 7 chickens and 10 donuts. Great work on the game!
Very nice game! I like how the complexity ramps up gradually and that you have to interact with the system as the trains are going. One thing I'd like to see is maybe show the carriages that will be attached to the next train coming out which will let you plan a bit more in advance. Really enjoyable game though and congrats on making it!
Very nice concept and it would be great to see it developed further! I think having the buildings have effects or letting the player know what disaster is coming next would help a lot and add more strategic thinking!
Very nice game! Super chilled out as well which is great. I really enjoyed the art style and the sense of progression. I think limiting roads to not cross through buildings would create a nice sense of challenge in planning out the village a bit further ahead in grouping buildings and such. Still though I had a lot of fun and ended up with a pretty chaotic village by the end haha. Congrats on making a great game!
Fun game! I think the movement could have been a bit more responsive which would help with dodging when it gets a lot crazier and some enemy variety would be cool as well! I liked that you could earn more drops depending on how many enemies you killed and I liked the pressure of searching through them in the short time.
Pretty cool game! I actually had an idea for a stealth game where the guards change position every 10 seconds but I really like how this one is done. I think some sort of pattern for the guards would have helped a lot as the randomness allowed some levels to just be rushed to the end. Still though it was a lot of fun to sneak right by them and not get caught. Well done on making the game!
Very cool game! It's a great take on the theme and the most unique game I've played so far! I love how stressful it gets as the game goes on as well!
Had a lot of fun and the puzzles were well designed! Felt amazing when I finally figured out level 7 and watching that instant replay is so satisfying. Congrats on a great entry!
Very cool game and surprisingly a lot of fun! I liked the change up in the shapes and the red zone which forced a few different strategies. Would be cool to see some challenges with the number of blocks available or even a scoreboard for the least nets used. Great job on the game!
Great idea and super inspiring game! I had a lot of fun playing this :) I think a cooldown indicator for the dash would be super helpful to get an idea for when it's ready to use again. Also if at each second there was some text popping up somewhere to remind you of the effects it would help a lot with getting into the flow of the game. I really liked that there was downsides to the choices as well since it forces you to think a lot more.
Great idea and the implementations is really well done! I appreciate all the movement options available to the player to help. One thing on that is that I would make the dash maintain the players vertical height to make dashing through gaps in the air more consistent. I really liked the music and created a lot of tension and excitement in each 10 seconds, I think restarting the levels could have been a bit faster but that's just me eager to get back to playing haha. The art and style of it all was perfect as well. Really enjoyed this game, well done on the entry!
Great game and I loved how fast paced it is! I think the player moves a bit too slow to keep up with what's happening so maybe being able to dash left/right would help a lot. That or being able to drop through the platforms. I had a lot of fun though and the music was perfect.
Very cool game and I love the art! The combat is interesting and unique which is cool to see. I think it would interesting if you could keep charging the sword and build up damage for one big strike. I also think some variety in rooms like having multiples of some enemies or some projectiles would be cool. Overall though it was a lot of fun to play through and the character and boss designs were amazing! Great job on the game!
Super fun and engaging game! Had the same addictiveness as an idle game for me but in a more engaging way. I think some of the numbers could be buffed in interesting ways like 4 bounces off enemies which could allow the shots to hit multiple enemies or 6 could home to another enemy after hitting the first. The limit break on 1 was so cool though and a great reward for continuing to play and get that much gold. Great game, well done :)
Nice and short game :) I liked the challenges and the twists on past puzzles as it goes. Congrats on a great game!
Nice min game that feels great to play when you start getting into it! Managed to get a score of 7 one round :) The art and sound suit it perfectly as well!
@jona-scheidig Thank you :)
@dominikam33 Huh strange, you should be able to press space to close it. I appreciate it anyway
@thomaspixelart Yeah there could be better indications for that for sure, Thanks for the feedback and for playing :)
@dominikam33 Much appreciated that you went back and tried it again <3
Very nice and congrats on finishing the jam! The visuals, gameplay and music were all great. I really liked that you could get you health back after you got hit which added a lot to the strategy of the game. I think the hitbox could be a bit bigger for the swing as it felt tough to judge the distance properly but that's mostly a personal thing haha. Well done again :)
Amazing game! So well executed and the art and music are both beautiful. The only think I'd want is a faster respawn or a way to skip the animation but that's just cause I died way too much haha. Took about 20 minutes but I got their in the end though :) Well done on the game
Got the game running no problem (Just installed love2d and double clicked the file). I really like the idea but it was super tough. Maybe an option to cycle out a package but reduce the value would help with getting stuck too quickly. I still managed to get to 5 shipped trucks on my best attempt though haha. I love the art as well. Congrats on completing a game!
