This was fun - nice difficulty curve.
I found it incredibly relaxing. The visuals are really cute.
Feedback: Sometimes the speech bubbles get in the way, but the puns make up for that.
This was great fun to play and was a nice difficulty that it was challenging but not frustrating. Would love to see more.
Just so you know, the windows download link is broken, it needs a capital A http://www.noorstudios.com/AgentC00k13/agentC00k13Win.zip
Game's great. Nice simple mechanics and Agent Cook13 is a funny looking character with a silly but adorable walk. Some of the collision needs to be smoothed out, but other than that, it's fun.
Great game. Surprisingly open level for such a tight deadline. Mechanics were lots of fun.
Cool idea and the graphics were really nice. Overall I enjoyed.
A couple of feedback points. I think the controlling of the player's rotation with a/d made movement a bit difficult. Also a small bug: I got hit out of bounds which meant the zombies couldn't get me.
Nice idea and visuals. The cooldown felt a bit too fast, but maybe I just suck at games!
Really good submission. The pixelart in particular is fantastic (it must have taken a while). I definitely feel like it's weirdness fits the theme, too.
Add some music and make the progression a bit more forgiving, and I think you're golden.
Nice, solid mechanics meant this was easy to pick up and fun to play. Genuinely was shitting myself with some of those LV4 asteroids. Good work.
Love the 'get the berries' music.
Great concept and some well thought out levels.
Cool concept. With some music on top, this could turn it to a fun little rhythm game.
This concept was a barrel of laughs. I had a lot of problems pecking the balls, but then again, you wouldn't want it to be too easy, right? The bombing scene made me grin.
Probably one of my favourite submissions so far. I love the characters, and the mechanics are simple but well executed. The AI worked really well and I'd love to try this with friends, as I'd think it'd only get better.
Hope you keep developing this. Also kudos for the pun 'Resalts'
Sweet visuals! I'd love to see more. Those sprites must have taken ages to do?
@Ourson - Made in UE4 but not particularly complex. I think it's most likely some VSync issues or my dodgy camera code. I'd have to try another PC to find out. Anything else that you can tell me that might help is appreciated. Thanks for the feedback.
HTML5 seems to be buggy and it's beyond me, so if you're having trouble with lag or the platforms, download the windows build instead. Sorry about that; UE4 for you.
@Filoox Got my brother to record it ^_^
Cheers Mathieu! Yeah, they're meant to respawn 5 seconds later, but sometimes they don't, so I'm not sure what's going on there - I'll have to check that out.
Thanks tripleVisionGames :) I think with more time I could maybe take cues from Paper Mario to make the 2D/3D style work better.
@Scornz Can you give me a bit more info? Which floors? The grey floors are meant to be destructible so you need to move off them quickly. Similarly damaging them with the whip/spin attack will destroy them. Any other bugs?
@OadT Ha ha, nice score! Yeah, that results screen was hacked together at the last minute. I think I know what happened. Thanks for the feedback about air control, I dialled it down to be a challenge, but maybe a bit too far - I'll experiment.
FYI
The Web link gave me the following error: could not load memory initializer Release/ARCK.html.mem
The Windows link is currently 404-ing
Love the sound effects - the people sounds properly disgruntled about it all. I'd love to see more levels.
I wasn't immediately clear on what to do, but once I got it, I loved it. Nice art style, soothing music, interesting levels. Definitely fits the theme of the jam.
Can't download? Link sent me to http://game.itsyourpalmike.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi
Liked the particle effects and the game played very well. Maybe the addition of a jetpack gauge, or a quicker decent over time, might make it a bit more interesting/challenging. Great effort though, I enjoyed it :)
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Demy, where it crashes a couple of seconds after launching on Windows. I can't see any logs. If you want me to try anything just give me a nudge on twitter: @benbateman
There was a very good and distinct tone to the game, and I liked how the story was unravelling. With a bit more polish this would be epic.
Great fun and has a lovely look to it.
