Nice stuff guys. The character and it's animations are great, and the gameplay, especially with the temperature mechanic is quite interesting and the atmosphere is good. The difficulty definitely ramps up on level 3!
I would say, it's quite difficult to handle the chicken monsters and to heard them to the hot side. They tend to float around you and go off screen, where you can't tell if they're still following you, or if they're about to pop in and kill you.
Another minor frustration, you use spacebar to start the level, but the restart after death button has to be clicked. It would be nice if this could use spacebar too.
That being said, great idea and really nice execution. Good job :D
Wasn't expecting to complete this but I got way more invested than expected! Nice logic based mechanics and puzzles that progressed at a satisfying pace. I thought I was going to be frustrated with the walking back and forth repeatedly but the level is small enough that it didn't end up bothering me.
As some others have mentioned; a bit of music, even just something ambient in the background, would go a long way to enhance the mood, but the art is great, effects and animations are nice and overall just a great entry. Well done!
Nice simple mechanic, and the level design ended up being quite good towards the end.
I did find that sometimes my jump inputs weren't registering and I would not jump when I expected to which was a bit frustrating.
Good job on the entry!
Nice idea, and the music works well.
My main criticism would be the placement of the other ships doesn't encourage dodging in time to the music, instead you kind of end up sitting still while you pass then moving to the beat again.
Fun idea though, good job!
Overall, really fun idea and great presentation. The art is great and all the little flourishes and effects on attacks really add to the polish.
I think my criticism is the same as some others:
- The beginning can be very RNG and there's not really anything you can do about it. - Some of the classes need some balance, the shaman is way overpowered and the scavanger is pretty useless as you already get way more gold than you can use. - It would be good to have to plan strategically for each fight, maybe by drastically limiting the number of characters that can be in the loop, so you have to adjust and set up for each encounter.
However, in the context of a game jam the balance was more than good enough to demonstrate what you were going for and provide a fun experience. Really good job!
Good fun discovering how to solve the various challenges and build an optimal route!
I did notice a couple of movement issues, if you crouch in a corner you seem to get stuck and sometimes the player will just run in a direction forever. But great stuff regardless.
Big fan of the clean minimalist art style, and a nice puzzle mechanic. Good job
Simple but interesting take on the theme, and a nice effective art style. Nice!
Really well done! Brilliant atmosphere and the music works great. Was expecting a cheesy jump scare but it never came, great stuff!
Really well done! Interesting mechanics and engaging fast paced combat, good job!
Took me way longer than it should have to figure out, great stuff!
The movement mechanics are actually really engaging. I found myself playing for way longer than expected! Great stuff!
One of the few that's kept me gripped all the way through, great atmosphere!
Really nice, simple art style and clever level design. Good job!
The music makes me feel like I'm in the depths of hell. Love it.

Trebuchet Post by zgragselus 2023-05-04T04:54:38Z ♥ 1
Pretty fun for a while. I did find it quite difficult to time the shots and found it easier to hit the target by slamming into the ground in almost all cases, I think exacerbated by the fact that most shots were fairly short range.
The UI will also often blend into the sky making it difficult to read, and the camera rotation seems to be very fast making it a bit awkward to rotate.
However, the graphics were great the transitions looked really nice and the trebuchet itself functioned really well. I did play all the way through and had a good time, but if it was to be expanded further it would need to start introducing some new mechanics.
Great job overall though!

Simple concept but executed quite well. The hand drawn art was great!
It could be cool to see the difficulty increase in different ways as the levels progress, maybe multiple dishes appearing at the same time or varying amounts of time to cook the food so it is less predictable.
Good job!

Really nice, cohesive art style and the mechanic of joining the different attachments together was great. Took a little bit to understand what was going on at first but then it was fairly intuitive. Great!

Great levels of polish, nice art and audio and challenging puzzles. As someone else mentioned, a restart button would be nice, but overall really good.

Really nice art, and simple intuitive gameplay. Background music would add a lot, but overall pretty good!
