Overall the graphics were well done and the sound effects fit the theme really well, but the purpose of the game was not well telegraphed, and I didn't understand what I had to do or what the goal was. Unless that was the point?
Anyway, a decent entry! 3/5 from me :D
Was unable to play as there was no executable file in the download link. Sorry!
Decent game! I found a couple of audio glitches but nothing gamebreaking (when you knife the bomb it restarts the sound effect, even after the "That's not how you..." screen shows up. Also, I couldn't really work out what I was supposed to do, but overall a good effort.
Cheers! :D
Nice, simple little game. For some reason in my game the map did not reveal as I went, as it did in the screenshot? Would have preferred that I think. But the game encompassed the theme and was fun to play. Cheers! :D
After I figured out the control scheme, I had a lot of fun with the game! The theme was incorporated well, the gameplay was fun and original, and I didn't find any bugs.
Nice game! :D
Overall a decent game, although I did struggle with wielding the rope around. Plus resetting the rope seemed to send it right back to the start for me, which was a tad frustrating.
The core concept has potential though, and would like to see it developed in the future!
The very fact that this whole premise was a pun based on the theme, made me like this game from the get-go!
Simple graphics, simple gameplay, no audio, but its success lies in its simplicity. Overall it fits the theme and is fun to play, and what more can you ask for? Good submission! :D
Decent game for a short-notice, last-second idea. Could have done with some polish in the in-game graphics and of course a few more levels. But it was a solid use of the theme and a decent entry!
Overall a functional game, so congrats on that! I didn't find any game breaking bugs but a couple of minor issues:
- The blobs tend to "Stick" to the player if they collide multiple times in quick succession. Perhaps a variable attached to the blobs making them 'non-collidable' for a second or so after a collision would fix the issue.
- Not sure if it was just my install or if the graphics were missing, but I didn't see a big red button during the intro?
Either way, a decent effort, and I had fun playing it.
Cheers! :D
Overall a decent game! Some of the UI could use a bit more polish, but what do you expect from a 48-hour comp! Well played! I was particularly impressed by the chiptune music. Nice job!
A great entry!
The graphics were complete and had a great style to them. Overall the game looks really good. The controls are intuitive and the game is fun to play. I must have played for about 20 lives over and over again.
Bravo! :D
Nice entry! Good graphics, atmospheric sound, and a fun play on the Wilhelm Scream :)
Nice, simple game, gameplay is a tad simplistic but made up for with a very nice art style. Good effort! :D
Very fun game and good use of the theme. The art style is crisp and clean, and the sfx and music fit the game well. It was a good length and did not get dull before it ended, and even managed a nice little story, which given the time constraints is great. Nice job! :D
I'm not sure if I enjoyed this entry, but it was definitely interesting. The background art was good, and the diver was well-animated. With some work this could have been an interesting little interactive vignette, but as it is, it feels like it got hit by time constraints (Which I can totally sympathise with). Overall, a good effort.
A pretty fun game! Good job getting a music loop done in time, added to the atmosphere. Not so sure about how it connects with the theme, and the cats' hitboxes are quite a bit bigger than the sprites, leading to a couple of frustrating deaths. Overall a fun game though :)
OMG THE BEEBS
This was a fun game, impressive 3D environment for the time, solid mechanics. I would have loved some kind of health indicator above the zombies' heads, but I know that would have probably been too much to put in in the 48 hour period.
Overall, a solid game, but not so sure about how the theme fits in. Still fun though!
Overall this game needs a bit more work in order to be fun to play. I see what you were getting at, and with some refinement this could turn into a decent concept, but without the polish it makes the game frustrating to play.
Still though, a decent idea! :D
Although the graphics were a tad simple, I don't think it took away from the overall experience, and the writing is where this entry shines. Some very funny dialogue, and an interesting play on the theme, I thought.
Good job on the first genuinely funny entry I've come across!
This is a really slick entry. A tight concept made for a really polished end product, and this shows in the graphics and the overall theming. Nothing feels unfinished here. The gameplay is fun and challenging, and is presented brilliantly. If I had to come up with a criticism, I'd say that it feels like the theme and the game are a little disjointed, but this doesn't detract from a very strong game.
Well done! :D
This is a really strong game! Functional controls, a good variety of enemies, coupled with great pixel art and a nice array of sounds and music. Like it!
If I had one complaint, it would be that the theme was only tangentally related to the gameplay. Otherwise, a really strong entry! :D
