I really like the concept, and I do love so much couch gaming! This is innovative, the music is cool, visuals are nicely flashy. I might just have added very light sfx for shape dropping and landing. I really like your game, great job!
A game that works, with a pretty nice 3d movement! Here are the feedback I can give if you had more time to polish: - I can't see the birds clearly enough and they don't look too much like a lose condition. I really like the overall color palette but these birds deserve to stand out IMHO - More "juice": speed would be a good start, some (even cheap) sounds could be nice too - Maybe adding collectibles could have created an increased challenge for players who desire to get the most out of this game
I won't pretend these should have been implemented, I just provide my opinion. Overall and again, good job for having a working game with multiple levels!
Went for the crown! The game is pretty well made, instructions are needed because controls are not very intuitive but the flow of the game is good. The following camera is well made too, good job!
Went throught it :muscle: it's a nice release, with nice graphics and cool stealth mechanics! The only feedback I would give is the title screen: to me it's wasn't obvious what to do at all, the circle to go to might have needed to be in another color or something like that IMHO. Anyways, that's a pretty game, congrats !!
Aside the character, I like that voxel style :) however I would have played longer and more thorough if the shift key was not against me (too much depletion, even when closing menus!)
The theme fits great and there are nice _build up your life_ mechanics. Definitely decent deliverable, good job!
So maybe I'm just bad but the controls of the ship make it so difficult and frustrating. This is the big thing that degraded my experience of the game. Other than that I really love how the game is presented (little intro), the fit with the theme and the customizability of the ship! This is really cool. Congrats to a great work overall!!
Loved the twist on chess, fits theme greatly!
I love the realisation. The sense of exploration is there. Navigating across galaxies and then explore them is greatly done, we feel the deep space!
On the other hand I wish this feeling was pushed in a way that you just collect scraps and build more and more stuff instead on focusing on a fighting machanic (and fuel and HP). Fighting is really hard and isn't very rewarding. I would suggest next time to have less mechanics but pushing them further! (even if I'm myself guilty of having the same tendency ^^')
Even if I give my opinion, be sure that I loved your game and the feeling I had while playing, congrats!
A bit hard to grasp, but then quite rewarding! Except when you accidentally misjudge another skeleton that for some reason can one shot you despite being full HP haha
Graphics stick well together, the theme fit is good and the customization mechanics are cool. Many ways to experience your game, congrats!
Really enjoyed playing your game! Balance is a bit tough for some levels but you did make a lot of them for such a short jam! Great job :clap:
I got caught in the game and retried many times. The game is complete and feels nice to play, the only thing is the rules not being clear at the beginning. Otherwise everything sticks well together and is pleasant to play, good job!
@locomule Oooh nope didn't see that! Helpul indeed, just need to see it :)
I am having an issue with all these controls: double jump, block, split, merge, anvil (maybe others?). In french to devs for simplicity: je suis obligé de bourriner la touche pour espérer déclencher l'opération en question et la chance est très faible, du coup je n'ai pas réussi à passer la partie avec l'enclume. Peut être une question de `FixedUpdate` vs `Update`? :shrug:
Might have been unlucky with my machine, but ther than that I loved the graphics, the theme fit, the mood and the ideas! Congrats guys :)
@mimusangel just tried the patch and could go as far as the 4th slime split! I'm happy to have seen the rest of your work, thanks for the patch! :) Controls are now usable although still a bit hard I think: the walk animation does mini jumps that interferes with the actual jump. I would say that having this animation as only cosmetic (and not affecting physics) would have been perfect, but I guess it's complicated! Also, after I died, the movement acceleration became crazy, like I could move super fast in the air, even from the beginning (even when restarting the game)! Maybe it's my machine, but this was strange.
Anyway, I appreciate that you worked based of the feedback we gave and I could appreciate your work much more, so thanks! You must have learned a lot from this experience :)
Such great interpretation of the theme! Didn't get it at first, I needed checking the screenshots to believe there was something to find :sweat_smile: but then I got into it played it all. Really had a great time plus the musics are great! Because of theme fit plus having a game with no flaw and so many qualities, **5/5**, best game so far :clap:
I really like the concept and the fit with the theme. I like the art too and the mood is quite nice. I only hoped I could have eaten anything else than bubbles: the bacteriae (including me) move **way too fast** on my computer at least. It's probably a bug, and I could evolve to the max by only eating bubbles, but I wish I could have eaten something else.
Otherwise, I like this good work!
Love your use of the game boy palette (and cool sprites!), love the music, loved how the game makes housekeeping, love your game! I like to give (try) constructive criticism but I really don't have much to say here, great game!
I really like the graphics and atmosphere! General mechanics are quite impressive for a 48h game. However just like @bjeaurn, I have a very hard time with the inverted Y axis. Also, I don't manage to kill the soldiers, I got the first guard couple of times and then with the gun I could not kill any more guards. Is that just intended to be very difficult or is there a specific way to go? Is that also intended that some guards just one shot me?
Very cute platformer! I was only frustrated by friction on the walls and by last level... that didn't actually changed to another screen at the end ;)
I enjoyed the simplicity of drawings, which makes your game nice at the same time!
Had no big expectation based on the presentation and you proved me wrong: the gameplay mechanics work well and I got caught restarting to play and wanting to survive the longest! I was happy when I saw those missiles spawn haha!
One only tip I would give was that the mine thing wasn't clearly a good/positive explosion to me at the beginning. But congrats for your work!
It's a pretty well made game, and I really felt like hunting easter eggs haha! I only hoped I had a goal for running around, like at least a score or something. But again, it works well with no friction and it's pleasant to move around and grab stuff! Congrats on your release!
Wow it's a nice project! Collisions are cruel, and re-picking a part wasn't obviously bad so it's a bit frustrating. But except that, models and UI are pretty, there is a complete soundtrack, the theme fit is great and everything works well! Congrats for such good work :clap:
Pleasant to play, things connect well together and the upgrades are satisfying! Musics add more smoothness to the vibe. Maybe the game is a bit easy ;)
Anyways, congrats team and condoleances :pray:
Great idea for sure, respects to you for going not traditional! I like the graphics, the sfx is simple but works. I would have loved an audio background track to fill up the atmosphere with a cool mood. Still, good job!
Great theme fit, interesting mechanics and development. The hear the danger is very interesting but really felt like a chore to me in the end, I had to spam Z all the time. Collision with whirlpools felt unfair as well as it was hard to know where rabbit was.
Otherwise I enjoyed the graphics style, the development and the fact that the story goes from the void to an end! Congrats
Thank you everybody for your encouragement!
@fictions @tadeas-paule took note of the unclear breakability. I added meaningful bullet explosions on breakable things but we probably need some sort of crack at first. I like the idea of having broken particles!
Sorry @iozsaygi @justuspan for the jump sound, I did lower its volume quite a lot though (thankfully!) will bring more attention to SFX next time!
Thank you so much for your kind comments, that's very encouraging !
Very good, a bit stressful once you grab the people's attention. The models and animations are really nice, the situation funny and the theme greatly interpretated. Congrats!
This is a very nice entry! I would only have hoped to unlock something I didn't have in the beginning, which would have set some goal to the game (and fit the theme slightly better :))
But honestly the game feels solid, and even if the music is a bit noisy, it brings a nice mood to the game. Congrats on your first jam!!
SLICE THEM ALL!!! The end roof is madness haha quite so satisfying! Only regret how punishing falling off the edge is, especially considering how hard it is to jump in 3d - even though the fixed camera was placed the best way it could have been I think! Very nice entry, congrats!
Like the others said, it's tiny but honestly this is fine as it is complete. The art is coherent, music included, you made all of it, didn't see any bug.. a true release! Keep things simple like this, and progressively get better :) Congrats on your first game!!
It's a pretty nice game here! Made my way to level 7, bigger tanks were quite of a deal being hard to track (one could focus on the yellow boxes only, and they're a priority but we can simply not know that they're here. Maybe a minimap would have helped if we had > 48h!). Honestly, my experience of the game was pretty smooth: I got hooked up and got better at it over time while difficulty increased.
I enjoyed that experience and the music is nice and greatly adapted! Good job
Very creative, so much actually that it reduced my immersion to the game: from one universe to another very quickly, it's hard to keep track.
Still, very funny and creative game, highly appreciated.
_Lo lolol loloooo..!!_
I love music games :) I've been completely fine with the graphics but I just didn't find much how the rythm had to be followed. For me it was more a _tap things on the right spot_ rather than _tap in rythm_ experience. Last criticism would go to where notes should be tapped: it wasn't convenient (for me) to tap on the left, I would have preferred tapping at the bottom of the screen or both left and right (for both my thumbs!)
But overall it does look and feel like a finished game, which is awesome. Good job!
Cute game with good theme fit! Green platform was a bit of struggle but otherwise went smoothly, congrats!
This game feels like it tells a story. Pretty simple but works, really had that sentiment of satisfaction for winning it :)
This game really feels complete by its various paths. Having the last path you wanted would have been a luxury, as there are already plenty of details in subpaths that are really enjoyable. And yes, they are funny ;) conrgats
Dude, this is really cool! Great theme fit and innovation, and cuteness :)
Love the style of your game! The idea is simple and fits the theme. I only wished the ships had no inertia, which would probably help maneuvering the cargo a lot! I like that there is music and the pixel art is actually detailed. Nice job!
Interesting choice of mixing graphical and textual resource-gathering gameplays, and you bridged them very well! The difficulty is well calibrated (yeah except the boar ^^) and a complete storytelling always there while you do your stuff... And the game works, has an intro and an ending. A very impressive 48h job, congrats!
Great little game with surprisingly good 3D for a 48h game jam! Aiming can be tough and huge waves can randomly pop on one single plant. Maybe something like a dash mechanism could have compensated. Otherwise the concept is simple and very well executed, congrats on your release!!
Love the earth management concept and the tutorial is very funny haha! Unfortunately I had major lags and maybe visual issues (often can't see any "calm down" button) maybe because I'm on Linux. Otherwise it's good, even if only for the intro :) congrats
Thanks for the feedback! Having some mashing is a trick to feel the "keep it alive" vibe but it's not necessary in order to reach the ending of the game. I could have made this clearer!
Thank you all so much for the feedback!
@sanjuro I designed levels in a way that you have to keep repairing the boat while always smashing more towers, so you're just very good! Other people found the game too hard so these are valuable feedbacks :)
Great defense game! I like the art style and it's consistent. You kept me playing until level 51 hahaha I was hoping for an ending but the game oddly went slower and slower so I really had to stop ^^ full eyebat OP then beholder for the win! Great entry, congrats
Love the retro style! The bugs feel a little unfair but I liked that the music change when they pop. Very cute game indeed!
