Lonely God Dude by alfredofreak 2011-12-20T04:26:00
A nice concept but I found it hard to know which dudes were going to die. I know you make them darker but a health bar would have been easier for the player.

Nice game. Good game mechanics. I think with the blood trails, darker darkness, better music and maybe only seeing the outline and eyes of monsters you would create a very nice atmosphere. And maybe instead of heart beat, you could have monster sounds that get louder the closer they are to you.
Knowing the monsters are out there and not being able to see them is cool.
This was really fun. I enjoyed it :)
Hey really fun game. I got one sheepy to the end and the wolf is now happy and fat. I think the level it a bit too long but I see why you did it for the jam. Graphics are cool! Keep up the good work.
Interesting game but I found the amount of things on the screen at first to be really overwhelming. I did keep playing (against myself) to see how it played out - I think the core idea is good but it needs refining and a gradual increase in complexity. Given the time, I think you did a good job. The music was wicked!
Really cool game. It gave me the "just one more day" feeling - a good thing for a game to have. The soundscape really drew me in. Graphics looked awesome. Game was paced well with escalating sacrifices... but if felt natural for the scene you've created. Had a fun time playing it.
I was upset when the guy who was going to donate a new bed died while being treated :)
Came back to say that I still really like your game after playing a bunch of other games. I think yous did a fantastic job on making something unique and immersive.
I like downwell so I can see where you are going with this one :)
Here is some feedback: * Took me a while to figure out that pressing down would make me move upwards * Some of the platforms are really small and with the super fast moving enemies I couldn't make it past the 4th platform (after many attempts) * I like the upgrades you've added but think 5 might be a tad to many - I was overwhelmed when I started the game * I think slowing down the movement (player jump, enemy movement) would make it more fun
Good work in getting the game done in time!!
Really cool idea :) I enjoyed the music and background rain. Reading through all the choices was fun.
One thing to note is that in my first play through I died after my first choice :(
@kamekai yup... China :)
Hey this was really fun! The sound effects were cool and the constant threat and base management was a good balance. I think you did a really good job. One main thing I'd change is the hit box of the people in your base... I found I mis-clicked a lot :( Got to level 8.
I did the same thing. I thought the portals were drop off points for cats.
In general, I think this is a good game and a solid idea. I played until I saved a few cats and was being chased by 10+ monsters. Here is my feedback: * horizontal movement is a bit too slow compared to vertical movement (maybe speed it all up too) * picking up the cats might benefit from a progress bar to let you know how much longer to stand still * music is really good * art is good too... I liked the monsters and the sad cats * drop off point was not obvious... maybe start the player next to it or have the camera focus on it first (use a cinemachine in unity and blend between two virtual cameras)
All in all I think you did a good job! You should be proud of what you made :)
Nooo.. I'm on windows too :(
Super challenging. Took me a while to figure out that wall jumping around the saws was possible with holding the arrow keys TOWARDS the wall. Movement felt fluid and responsive. The bunny looks cool. I felt no remorse while slaughtering those other bunnies lol :P
Atmosphere and music are cool. I found the lack of abilities as the game goes by to be interesting. I think you've got the beginnings of something fun here.
Really liked the music. Nice footsteps too. It was hard move around a bit but given the time limits it's understandable. A quick fix would be to make the movement a bit faster :)
Thanks for the reviews! I took most of the first day just trying to get the move and jump to feel good so I'm glad you like it. The blind jump at the end we could remove but we liked the idea that people would have to make a leap of faith at the end of the game. But it's something we'll revise if we keep developing it.
As for lives per level - we considered this but for the time constraint, we decided to have a live pool for the whole game to make the experience short and concise. If we were to expand the game, we were thinking either adding lives per levels or adding life pickups to allow you to gain back some of what you lost.
Hey! Awesome game mate. Really enjoyed playing it. Here's my feedback... * Music and sound effects were great * Art style was awesome * Levels were tight and well made * Progression was good... I felt challenged but had the feeling of "I figured that out" when I worked out each level * All the mechanics were used creatively * Would play again and recommend to others
Now you need to add more levels (if you feel like it) and put it out to the masses :P
Came back to say that your game has inspired me to make a similar game! You did a really good job on this game!!! Love it.
This one made me smile. I like how you interpreted the theme but the game play didn't seem to match the story - but not sure how I'd do it either :up: Movement felt fluid and quick and the upgrades/downgrades were interesting. One time I only had three "reverse movement, +hp" upgrades. All in all a good game!
