The theme tie in is a bit on the nose but I guess it's better than missing it altogether. The art seems prototype-y but I like it. As mentioned in some of the other comments, it is pretty difficult, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I didn't think the controls were that bad but looking at the comments I guess it's the keyboard that's iffy, I used a joypad and it felt fine. Like the game, I love me some random generation! Good work.
The graphics on this are great, love the art style. Took a bit of figuring out but I like the idea, could just use a bit more of a game element to it, like a win state or something. Still, enjoyed it, good work!
This was a really interesting game. Really have to keep your attention in the game! Good work.
I think this is my favourite game of the jam so far. I loved the look, the tone, the story. I'm just sad that audio isn't in the voting options because the music was perfect for the game.
I like the premise of the game. The control method is novel but it really makes playing a slog! Nice artwork.
Didn't work for me. Looking at the screenshots... maybe a good thing.
I liked it. The artwork was charming (whether or not it was intentional I don't know) and the gameplay is simple and addictive.
Liked the artwork, the music was good (if a little sporadic, would have been nice to have music all through), and the gameplay was fun. My main gripe (and I did the exact same thing in my game :rolling_eyes: ) is that you can't skip to the next bit of dialogue once you've read it. Overall it's a good game, well done!
Apparently I liked this game so much the excitement caused me to forget to rate it >.<. The gameplay was fun, simple but addictive. Having a bit of story was a nice touch. The graphics are solid. The only thing I would say it lacks is a bit more variation in the actual combat (more enemies, different arenas) but I can't really knock it for that given the time constraints. Good game!
Cool idea. This would benefit from more enemies/arenas if you decide to carry on working on it. The combat felt satisfying enough, the pixel art was good, and you definitely got the theme.
Great visuals and nice music. I'm not a fan of clickers so I'll just say everything worked smoothly and it felt very polished, great job.
I enjoyed it. It suffers a little from repetitiveness but I'm sure that's a symptom of the time constraints. I liked the look of the sprawling city underneath. The only thing I would say is the constant "ticking" of the gun firing begins to get annoying after a while. Maybe more variation in the firing sounds, or some background music to wash it out a little. But overall I liked it. Good entry!
I got the same bug as above with the title screen (can't complain, the mouse decided to stop working on my game's title screen after build :rolling_eyes: ). Other than that I like it, cool idea.
The game is fun enough. I see you had other stuff going on so I can't really judge the basic graphics. I will say the lack of a floor texture made it difficult to judge position/distance sometimes, but good work.
That's a busy screen lol. I love the premise, the art work, the game in general. I'd love to see where this went if you kept working on it beyond LD!
This is fun! The quirky art style is cool, the gameplay is fun (if not a little frustrating in a good, challenging way), and it makes quite possibly the most literal use of the theme I've seen so far.
I loved the style. With a bit more time on the graphics and character animations, this would look amazing. And for a gamejam game, I'm very impressed. Great work.
I think you forgot to include some download links.
I'm read a lot so interactive fiction really appeals to me. I liked all of this; the narrative, the visual presentation. Great work.
I love super simple art styles like this. Really takes me back to my early gaming days when we had to walk 15 miles in the snow to boot up our ZX Spectrum! Really fun game, gives strong "just one more room" vibes. I liked the premise and the character was fun too! Great work.
This was very creepy and atmospheric. The art work is really good and the music was perfect. I think I had a glitch where the text would disappear before I had chance to read it as though I'd pressed a button when I hadn't, but I loved the look and feel. Great work.
I love the interpretation of the theme, and the game looks amazing. I've paid cash money for far less impressive games.
Wow, you got a lot done in a weekend! Great work.
The art is really cool, and the gameplay feels satisfyingly solid. As a few other's have said, it's a little confusing to get to grips, maybe a tutorial or how to play screen would be a good addition if you keep working on it. But I like the premise and the feel of the game. Well done.
Could use some kind of collision visuals so it's more obvious when you get hit but I loved the art style. I've never tried pico but the more I see, the more I'm interested. Good game.
There's the makings of a solid dungeon crawling here. Are you going to keep working on it? I liked the look and feel of the game, although it does feel a little too easy to get swamped by the enemies.
Haha, well done. Loved the idea. The art looks good. The sound effects were... interesting lol.
I like this. Strangely addictive considering how little there is to actually do. Art style is cool; I'm a sucker for super low-res pixel art.
The game looks cool and I like the premise but I couldn't get any customers! Am I missing something?
Really impressed with this. How you managed to pull off a solid FPS (strong Quake vibes) in such a short time I don't know but this is a great little shooter.
Looks amazing. Very relaxing to play.
I'm impressed at how many levels you got done in such a limited time frame on top of making a working game!
Very well put together given the time frame. I wasn't expecting this type of game from the name lol. My only gripe is only being able to shoot in four set direction makes it really hard to stay alive when the grannys and bouncers are coming for you! Good work.
Nice graphics, solid audio. I spent a minute clicking things before I realised you move with the keys :rolling_eyes:
Very chilled music, nice graphics. The actual game isn't exactly breaking new ground but that doesn't make it any less fun to play. Great work.
I love the blocky art style. The game play works and is fun. If there had been more time to make different levels/villains, this would be a legit cool little shooter that I'd pay for.
I'm a sucker for neon :)
I agree with above about the game feeling floaty but that feels like a minor issue for a game made in such a short time.
This was a lot of fun. I like the art work but if I'm honest, the sound effects were jarring. Especially in contrast to the music (which was good). Not a massive issue, however. Overall I had fun. Good game.
Love the look of this game. Very funny. Great work.
I like the artwork but damn this is hard. I'm sure I'm partly to blame but I could *not* get that little dude over the first saw blade!
Loving the art in this. The music is good and the gameplay challenging (presumably that was the goal)
I like the art style. The music fits nicely but could use a bit more of it. Very relaxing, would make a good VR thing.
Didn't understand a thing but it looks and plays great 😂 well done!
Thank you for the positive feedback everyone! @paul59 sorry about that, I never experienced it but I didn't have a lot of play testing time. @heyitsleo you talk to the people by pressing enter when you're near them. If this were a full title I'd work on the controls a bit more. @furtive-pygmy The Corporation is forever.
@syrapt0r Thanks! Was great to see someone play it. I'm sorry you got a poor run of information, the game needs some kind of balancing; I've seen people say they either found the target first time without knowing what they were doing or didn't get any information the whole game. I just ran out of time :(
Really appreciate the playthrough.
Response to this has been amazing. Thank you everyone who's commented since the last time I thanked everyone! @pcmaster yeah the controls need work. I just ran out of time to tweak things. @rainetheglutton no problem, your game was fun. And as it happens I've already started re-writing the game with a view to a better, more polished result; my rushed code for this one is a hot mess :-/
@slotha Sorry pal. I put the controls in the second page of the how to play screen but I should have made it clearer. A tutorial options would have been ideal but I didn't have time >.<
@shunaky This game is getting further development as it turns out and an idea similar to that is on the table. Thanks for the feedback!
This game gave flashbacks to playing on my Sinclair Spectrum as a kid! I like the art and mono-colour style, the music was nice, the controls satisfying. I would play more of this.
This game has a lot going on for something made in such a short time. Really impressive. And a completely unique (to me at least) take on the boxing genre.
Not a huge fan of the control scheme but it's a minor gripe for a game made in 48 hours. Nice art style, funny premise. Good game.
The premise of the game is good, I think the controls could use a bit of tweaking but overall I enjoyed it.
Short and sweet. Would love to see some more levels for this. The idea is cool, it pushes you to go for the highest score since technically finishing the level is easy. I like it.
I like scythe mechanic. Teleporting into the middle of the screen when you go out of bounds felt a bit odd though. Overall good game. Could use some floor texturing.
Good work! The premise is good, the graphics aren't half bad for a 2/3 day game jam. I like it!
I'm digging the wireframe style, almost like 3D graphics from back in the day. It was fun to play and had a decent difficulty curve. I'd be interested to see what this game turned out like if you kept working on it.
It sounds so gross! lol. Really enjoyed this. Once I figured out you got more meat back for hitting multiple flies I was leading those suckers all over the place to create a conga line of death! Good game, enjoyed playing this one a lot.
As mentioned above, it's a bit tricky to figure out what to do, but I like the simple style. Reminds of early world building games. Good work.
I quite like the pencil-sketch art style. I think the game would have really benefited from some audio cues but for a 48 hour game, this is good!
I love the art style. Nice, simple gameplay premise. This could make a solid mobile game.
I like the premise, and the art style is cool. Could maybe use a "how to play" screen but it wasn't *that* difficult to figure out. Good work!
I like your take on the theme, and the gameplay is fun. Good work!
