This was cute. Was kind of frustrating getting them stuck in the corners, but if you jiggled around a bit you can get them out. Love the finishing touch on every level having them jump into the volcano :smile:
Really nice explaination on how the game works. I started knowing exactly what I needed to do. Maybe just needed some more crew members. I found once I plugged up a wall or 2 I had none left. Really liked the start screen transitions. Nice work :slight_smile:
I love the back story haha. But the game play was a bit strange. Like my jetpack ran out so fast and then I had to wait down the bottom for it to pick up again, shoot one unicorn and repeat.
This is a beautiful little game. Love the handdrawn graphics haha and the poo shaped balloon gave me a good giggle. You should review some more games so you get some more views yourself. Really fun.
I really like the idea. Cute and simple. The only thing I found that was annoying was after items were placed in the altar, their hover menu was no longer available. Became more noticable as the levels went on.
Really nice game. Had fun playing it :slight_smile: The only minor thing I had issues with was the aiming. At times found it difficult but I guess that adds to the game right! Great job.
Really nice simple graphics that work really well. Nice idea and nicely presented. Good work.
Really cute. Like the graphics and the music fits really well. What did you use to make the music/where did you get it from? Was a little confused with the lazers and then arrows changing direction but I think I got there in the end. Really nice. Awesome work.
Like the concept nice and simple but effective. The controls are really intuative and I love how the darkness coming in makes you feel panicked to find more weapons. Really nice work well done :slight_smile:
Cute. Really nice graphics. Took me a bit to realise killing the grey chickens was doing to opposite to what I wanted to do haha. Short and sweet. Love the dialog. Nice work.
Really like the style. I am a huge fan of platformers. Have to say though I was ready to throw my keyboard out the window at one point haha. I think maybe the platforms should disappear if you land on them not if you accidently brush them. Sooo many times I touched one in the process of landing on it and bam it was gone before I could jump. I agree with everyone it doesn't really fit the theme. but that's just one ranking criteria I guess. Awesome work. I always enjoy a good challenging game...one I finish it that is :slight_smile:
I really enjoyed this. Is there an end? I played for a while and nearly had the whole map exposed. The music is perfect and I didn't feel the need to turn my speakers off at all haha. Fun different concept. Well done.
I found after a while the text really started to hurt my eyes. Maybe for the decisions and options the font could have been a little more generic. I do like the look of it though very nice.
This was so fun. Love the flinging of the "death squad" haha. The only issue I had was with the controls. Sometimes at the beginning when I still had most of my squad, it was difficult to change directions and I was stuck for a few seconds up against walls etc. Really enjoyed it though. Awesome job.
Wow. This was an amazing little game. For what it lacked in the initial visual sense it made up for with the music, mood and story. Love the sacrifices you have no choice but to make. Have to say this is one of, if not my favourite game of the jam I've played so far purely based on how well you made the story. Great job.
Lol I love the fact I can win by just instantly blowing myself up. Maybe you could have different levels where you need to hit a certain target before blowing up to kill the other bunnies?
Yeh easy mode is hard haha. They just smash your little dudes once they kill one. Like the idea though but yeh the difficulty could definitely be scaled down a touch. Nice work though.
@jackson-makes-games thanks :smile: thanks for letting me know. @nate-wec Thanks. Lol yeh the music was my first attempt at ever making music so that's why I make a mute music button :laughing:
@khaotom Sorry! That was a bug. I have fixed that now though so that shouldn't happen again.
@vilix64 I totally forgot to upload the Mac and Linux versions! I'm so sorry. I just added them both :slight_smile: The game hasn't been tested on either platform but hopefully it works the same as Windows.
@zanagi Thanks! I was planning on adding that but I sadly ran out of time in the end. Glad you enjoyed it!
@anton-savinov did you put 2 blue cubes into the altar at one time? Sorry there has been a few bugs with the tutorial. Or maybe you haven't evolved a cube?
@evogengames Thanks :smiley: I guess the purpose of the evolution was get to cute animals haha and crushing them got you way more points than just crushing a cube of that colour. So it makes it easier to get more cuter animals :D
@evogengames haha very true. I just did some maths and there really isn't a huge benefit currently. I will rescale the points to make it worth while. It's funny I didn't really take into consideration the multiple evolutions when giving the final amount. Thanks for the heads up.
@drauce I'm sorry to hear that :sob: was the game stuck frozen or was the altar just not working? By trying to make the tutorial interactive I've sadly ran into lots of bugs.
@drauce @shrekshao OK thanks for letting me know. I will have a have a look at it when I get home.
@blobo @nightvision65 @shrekshao @drauce Ok guys I fixed the bug. So sorry about that. I messed something up when I fixed the points scaling yesterday :cry: I have added an addition button just incase a different part of the tutorial bugs so you can at least continue on.
@hystaf I was originally planning on more of an RTS but obviously that is a huge scope haha and the small idea for the sacrifice part of the game was the only thing I really got the implement. Next time I will not scope so big :slight_smile: thanks for the play.
@jimbly thanks for playing and the feedback. Ah sorry about that I will have to check it out. Was it when you were only squishing 1 cube?
@jimbly Thanks for that. I think I have managed to fix those bugs and the drag selection issue. Also added a skip tutorial button.
Very cute idea :slight_smile: Shame about the music but hey it takes time to learn. Great job.
Love the concept. Its a shame the arms didn't match the rest of the graphics style. Didn't really understand why i was collecting the gold things and losing a whole limb. And it didn't seem to cause me any issues sacrificing a leg :laughing: Overall though nice. Good work.
I think I enjoyed that more than I should haha! The worst part was stabbing the poor little pigs right in the face. The last level was probably the only one that was challenging. Once I got the rhythm down though I picked it up pretty fast. Maybe instead of levels continually get faster you could change when the god wants part way through the level. Like start with goats and then it changes to men. Keep the mind working. Overall though it was good. And I did a bit of an evil giggle when I saw the first level and realised what the game was.
Got the hang of what I was supposed to do after a few goes. Kind of hard to stop the gears at the right time to stop the whole group getting killed.
Really liked how you could choose your character. Died pretty quick the first time because I panicked when I saw a skeleton and mashed the keyboard trying to attack it. Once I figured out I just had to push into them it got easier. I got to level 6. How many floors are there? Cool idea. Only issue for me is the movement and the sound of it. I had to turn my speakers down because by the second floor it was sending me a little batty lol. Maybe decrease the level of the sound for the movement. Also the having to click to move got irritating travelling long distances. You could mayeb allow holding the button down but to attack you have to tap it? Anyway there is my novel lol. It was a good idea though. I like the fact you lose something each floor. Well done :)
Very cool idea. I love the SFX and the music. The graphics are really sweet. Shame it is so short! Great work
Nice concept. I agree this would be a cool little mobile game. Good work :smiley:
I like the use of 2 characters. I couldn't figure out how to get down to the cross I just kept on getting spiked. I will have a bit more of a play and see how I go. But I like it. Cool idea.
I played it a couple of times. After the first time I died and restarted the game, the second level was just full of the red circles and there was no X to finish the level. The movement is a bit jolty and once a skeleton comes into view they pretty much have you killed they just jump places so fast. Nice effort though :slight_smile:
Cute concept. Kind of feels a little hollow with no music.
Haha I think this should be called the Running over Pedestrian simulator. My first few attempts were pathetic...I didn't even make it around 1 corner. Got the hang of it though after a few tries. Really neat idea and fun.
Took me a little while to get that the bone wasn't something I could attack with haha. I found that I rarely started with attacking cards and by the time I got some the AI already had like 4 on the board. Nice graphics and solid idea.
