LD42 — Running out of space

Wingman by minibobbo 2018-08-14T16:34:32Z

Really well made and polished game with fun gameplay. Currently the favourite of those I played so far. I really like the audio. Minimap also does its job very well.

here are some minor details I think are worth looking at:

1) I think the top UI progress bar is a bit too big and therefore distracting. Kinda like the opposite of my game where it ended up being to small :)

2) on some levels you can just put yourself in a certain position and just block all bullets - sure you get stunned but you still block all the red ones. This is an example from teh gunship level: gunshipLevel.png

spawning parallel is intended because you can collect both if you swap to the more distant lane at the right moment. The music should play automatically, I only tested on chrome though. Do you hear the typing sound effects?

@sadsmile do you remember the error message? which browser did you use? I hope I can find the bug and fix it.

@testlab we tried both hitting while changing lanes and not hitting tanks/asteroid. It's more fun to be able to pick up tanks in between lanes when changing lanes, but can also be a bit frustrating to hit asteriods with it. Overall we thought it makes the game a bit more tactical than just being focused on the typing aspect.

Regarding the health. There is a progress bar on the very bottom of the game which shows your progress to the goal and the black hole which is coming to destroy you. It however is way less visible than we expected it to be and we'd definitely change it if we had the opportunity to go back in time.

Also agree that a bit better intro to what the asteroids (slow down) and tanks (speed up) actually do would make it clearer what to do.

z is a bit hard to use on keyboard layouts which have it not next to x (german or french for example). Localisation is an annoying thing ;) fun concept anyways.

very nice idea. Maybe it would be cool if accurate parking is rewarded a bit, right now you can create quite a mess without long term consequences once the car leaves again. Maybe give a bit bonus time for perfect parking or smth. Or color the actual space taken up instead of the parking slot.

Fun game, had to download the windows version as the webgl version in Chrome did not show any of the bullet. Sound and Art really fit with the theme and the dialog is pretty funny too.

Infestation by aurelwuensch 2018-04-25T07:47:18Z

thanks for you feedback NoniMad and Joel. 1) need to refresh is a stupid bug (we set timescale to 0 once lost and forgot that that is a global state which does not reset on scene/level change.), I'll fix that today.

2) Graying out the too expensive card is a very good idea.

3) Clicking a card to select and then be in "card cast mode" to select a target (like in hearthstone) probably is way better than the current state.

4) yep 3 games in one definitely was over ambitious and next game jam we need to reduce the scope to get what we have a bit more finished.

5) we also like hexagons

6) yep more words would be good, we ran out of time and barely made the deadline.

Thanks for your positivity. It's so tempting to improve a lot of the unfinished things but the jam is over and aside from tiny timescale bug fix I think it would be unfair to make any change to the submission during the rating stage. (We might continue work at it or pick a few things from it and build something else though)
