The gameplay was really fun, and the music choice was on point. The last level was definitely hard to control, but it was short enough to make it through nonetheless, which is a good thing.
I think there's a bug in level 2? It finished without collecting a green ball. Other than that a good game.
Funny idea that perfectly fits the theme, and the audio complements it really well! Graphics are also well done. It took me a while to figure out how to actually play the game, and even then it was more of a luck thing to pass the levels then anything else. So controls were lacking a bit in comparison to the other things, but overall great game.
Fun, Innovation, Theme, Graphics, Humor, Mood ... no bias or anything, it's honestly a 5 star for each. Good job guys =D
The game is also quite challenging since you have to multitask: place students, kick out some others, and evade paper planes. On top of that you have to watch out for the profs temper.
A bit of constructive criticism: Highlighting the controls in the tutorial, and giving an option to turn off music/sfx would be nice. It's pretty hard to keep the temper in check once it's a bit high up. A cool idea would be to have nerds in the lecture who make the prof feel a bit better (:
Great stuff. Theme, innovation, and graphics are five stars each. Honestly, the only bummer in this one is the audio. More sound effects would have been nice. The music I found to be really annoying tbh, and not all that fitting to to 90's theme (as in old Windows). Had to play it with my audio muted.
Like Luke I also didn't get to manage all the fragments. I guess some of them need a bit of fine-tuning (like the one where you have to beat the mine in a race). But still a great game.
@xero560 Yes, the thing with the floating level is a bug I didn't manage to get fixed, hence only 30 seconds so that you actually have a chance to reach the end of the game.
I believe we are allowed to fix bugs for a week or so, so maybe I'll try to fix that up. Not entirely sure though, because I have a deadline this sunday.
Overall nice game. You water simulation is really neat, and the idea in itself is also great, especially since there is a clear goal to be accomplished.
Two things I would change: increase the pacing (either make the water level rise faster or lower the box height) and make the text more readable (e.g. so that I don't have to tilt my head left and right). The first is especially important, as I was lacking motivation to go for a second attempt.
Also thank you for pointing out the link issue.
I can only repeat what others have said before me: really fun game, especially the audio was hilarious. What makes it even cooler is the team you have composed right there xD. The player was a bit hard to control mid air though.
All in all, good entry!
Cool game. The idea in itself fits the theme well (reminds me of that game back on old Windows systems, where you play a spider trying to trap a snake), and the art/audio complements it really well.
The single player is quite hard. It either needs careful planning or is unbeatable as of now.
I tried playing multiplayer on my own as well, but it's impossible to independently coordinate both players. If I press "A" for one, I automatically end up pressing the left arrow button for the other as well xD Anyway, I think you intended it to be Vs, but it looks like it could be a cool CoOp-MP, since for example blue colored diseases erase the green player, so blue should be helping out green and vice versa to keep both diseases in check.
Overall a good entry, just a bit too difficult to beat.
