Great game! Great art style and gameplay. I feel that most people will choose to stay at the far left or right. Got catch off guard by the enemy spawning above me at level 12... I wasn't fast enough to shoot them.
Good mini game! Didn't know that replit can host GUI in browser. The control is a bit hard to get used to, so I basically keep shooting and stay at the top of screen most of the time.
Cool mining game with good graphics and music. Those particles and sound effect make digging feel very satisfying!
A fun platformer game. The goblin is cute :) I found that you can just jump down the hole and skip most parts. Maybe add a check so that it can die from falling.
I like this physics puzzle games! I'm not good enough to get very high score, but at least the annihilation effect was fun!
Congrats on your first compo! It's a cool puzzle game! Quite challenging to have to optimize the number of moves.
This is a really cool game! The digging mechanics is cool! I also like the graphics and atmosphere. Would be even better with some background ambient music
Love the sound effects! The controls are good and I like that the bullets are in projectile motion! Also, kudos to you for building the game using PixiJS!
Nice game! It's fun to shoot around and the control feels good.
The control is quite difficult, I had to move very slowly in some areas to avoid hitting the walls. I love that there are checkpoints which helps to balance the overall difficulty.
Great job on making a game in C++ with your own engine! This reminds me of the torch puzzles in Hellblade.
I encountered some bugs with the physics as already mentioned here, but otherwise this is easily the coolest pinball game I've ever played!
Great work! I guess the first floor was really brutal before the balance patch! I got a bad RNG on my first run, my mage got fried by 2 enemy mages in the first enemy turn. But my second run goes well and I was able to clear a few floors by carefully luring single enemy out.
Nice little puzzle game! Love the art style and the voice acting! Wish the puzzles are more difficult, and that you can pick up multiple swords at once rather than wasting time to pick up and use them one by one
Amazing storytelling and gameplay! The game mechanics are simple but interesting, especially for the anger level.
I think you can make the flashlight brighter as it's still too dark for me in some area. But otherwise the game is great! Stats are well-balanced (I would rather reduce the hp of enemies and make them spawn more often, but it's also good right now), controls are good, and the upgrade system is well done!
Love the sound effects :laughing: Nice game except that it may be a bit too easy. Wish there's a higher difficulty
This is a fun mining card game! I feel that those cards with non-zero cost (cards other than pickaxe/TNT) are not worth it, seem it's better to keep digging than spending money + a turn on those. But then, I only played against AI. Maybe someone can come up with solid strategies using those cards.
This is a cool game. At first, I thought it's impossible to outrun the enemy miners, but it seems that there are ways to temporarily trap them in a hole to buy some time. The graphics and sound are good, but there should be sound effects when collecting gems! Also nice to see that you are using your own game engine. I'm also building my own engine but it wasn't ready for this jam.
Wow, great game! I like the music and graphics, and on the spell effects. Killing monsters and destroying things with magic are always fun.
It's a juicy version of minesweeper! Good work. Took me 2 try to notice that the number is for 4 directions. Just a random thought, it may be interesting to experiment with other variants, like using hexagons and other tiling patterns.
Cool platformer game! The dragon looks great! Sometimes there's not enough platforms, making it impossible to dodge the dragon's attacks. And I had to take a leap of faith to dodge from dragon fire, because the next platform level wasn't appearing fast enough!
Really cool minesweeper game! Love how you add the radar and monster battle mechanics to the minesweeper game. Having upgrades is also nice.
Challenging but fun golf game! Love the fact that I can strike mid-air to get to the 2nd hole! And I like the Blender monkey head :)
It's minecraft! Overall a good game. I like the fuel management mechanics. At one time, I barely made it to the refiner with nearly 0 fuel left. Then I decided to get both fuel tank upgrades ASAP :)
Great visual novel(?) Love the fish models and atmosphere. It seems that the oxygen level is always at > 150% and the choice against hostile fish doesn't really matter. Also, it seems to be bugged after 45000ft or so.
Really enjoyed this boss fight. I like the 3 head mechanics and that you can't damage it when the eye is closed. Took me a few tries to beat the alien. I always died from falling when trying to dodge the attacks :laughing:
Nice minigame with great art and music. It's quite a difficult game, had to keep focusing on the bottom of the screen instead of the spear
Cool concept and nice job building a 3D game in Elm! As a web developer, I always wanted to try Elm.
A nice, relaxing endless runner! Great background music that sets the mood. Agreed with other comments that I feel dizzy after concentrating on the game for a while.
It was fun! Not sure if there's a limit or it's just due to the lag, but after placing a bunch of turrets, I wasn't able to add more.
Love those faces :laughing: I died at level 5 when facing multiple enemies. Maybe make the hitbox bigger to make it easier to hit the enemies
Really cool concepts and funny dialogues. The graphics and music are excellent!
Thank you! At first, I thought you meant you wanted to be able to bump into obstacles, because right now you can't. But I just found out that due to how my code is written, you can click on the character to skip a turn! I can see that can be useful for better positioning, and would consider it as a feature now!
@hilvon @steven-c Glad you like the game! I spent most of my time on zombie and specter mechanics - zombie swarms and specter catching you off guard. I added bulls and reapers at the very last hour, and they only appear after 60m and 120m. I should have made them appear sooner!
@steven-c Yes, it's quite hard! Not counting the times I cheated, I was only able to get to 120m once :sweat_smile: I keep staying behind obstacles to avoid getting instakilled by specters and bulls as they spawn.
This is my original idea. At first, I just copied from chess rules, using pawn movement for zombies, and king movement for player. Somehow I didn't like it, so here's current game mechanics after a few rounds of iterations and playtesting!
@hutchings90 @scalphamission Thank you for playing my game! Good to hear that you like it.
@zwodahs Thank you! I haven't played many roguelikes, but I love board games. I'm very satisfied by the zombie mechanics as well.
Thank you everyone for playing my game :slight_smile: Really glad that some of you were able to meet the bulls and reapers!
@iovorobiev Yes, I plan to at least do a post-jam version of the game! The game actually playable on mobile right now (except maybe the text is a bit small), it feels surprisingly good to me, even though I have never tested it on mobile during the jam!
@pizzasgood Ah, you've found the secret move! I knew there's a timing issue that the player can continue to move during the attack animation, but I didn't fix it. Looks like I should make it an official feature in future :slight_smile:
@andrewkennedy @lisyarus Yes, highlighting available moves for player and enemies was very top on my TODO list. Basically expect for zombie and player, other pieces follow chess rules: specter is bishop, bull is rook and reaper is queen. Unfortunately I started the jam late and didn't have the time to add the highlighting.
Thank you everyone. Great to know that most of you find the game challenging, as my intention was to create the harsh roguelike feel with a zombies horde :smiley: But the difficulty can definitely be tuned down at the beginning.
@lungtakumi all models are created in code using primitives only (box/cylinders/cones) to give a chess piece feel. Check out my (poorly written) source code.
@vilcans @sdata agreed the specter/bull/reaper should be tuned a bit. Right now, some luck + staying around obstacles are necessary to survive. I died most from double/triple specters, followed by instant death from bulls/reaper on an open space.
@james-kusardi actually zombies always move deterministically in a way to shorten the distance to you. But when they are blocking each other, then there will be a bit randomness as their movement order is not fixed.
Interesting concept and great job on your first game! Wasn't very sure what to do at first, but the overall experience was still enjoyable.
Great game! It's pretty hard but fun to play! I also like that you have a shop.
Overall I enjoyed playing the game! The randomly generated levels can sometimes be hard, especially at the first few rooms because you start being very weak. I got like 4 enemies on my second room, without any upgrade/health. However, it's otherwise very fun to play.
Great graphics. Nice and simple mechanics. Love the progression in difficulty. It's a bit difficult to aim, especially for the bottle. I would make the hitbox larger for the bottle.
The mimic chest concept and mechanics are great. Great graphics, and there're even cutscenes! At first I thought the enemies are a bit too difficult, but once I learnt the pattern, it's actually pretty fun to play.
Nice platformer game. I like the increasing difficulty and the mood. There's some tilemap flickering in the web version, but otherwise it's perfect
