Sometimes the money would get stuck on a certain value then I'd have to spend it on mines to get it working again (maybe it has something to do with the G key). Other than that, great game! Art and music were at a professional level, imo.
Great game! Took me back to some of the point and click games I've played. Well done
Really liked the graphics and the music! The camera movement could be a little disorienting at times, especially when falling. Great game!
@kromeboy , @falu , @andyp , @blobo , @nathaniel-jensen , @xarras , @druvsaft thank you all for playing!
@xarras, The tree in the meter actually means that u'd be large enough for dropping trees, but it isn't a really good indicator.
@druvsaft the jump can really be kind of frustrating. I'll take a look at how to do the Coyote Time, thanks! As for the checkpoints, the level is procedurally generated and ends when you reach a certain size, although there could be checkpoints based on that.
I liked the final enemy and the take on the theme. I wish there was some visible or audible way to know about the attack cooldown. Great game!
Really nice environment and controls. Just found it more worth it to collect little by little in the starting area until I had 2000 than to invest on upgrades and explore. Other than that, solid game!
More fun than I expected. I liked the upgrades.
Wish there was a way to know exactly how the block will be placed. Other than that, great game!
So many explosions! Fun to shoot around.
Great graphics. Has an eerie mood. Nice Game!
Controls are the main thing you're fighting in this game, but it makes for a fun challenge. Nice game!
Nice one! At first I didn't really get it. Then I understood how great the mechanics are. Really challenging, tho.
Really had to keep the knight alive. Got lost a bit. Overall, a really nice game.
Not sure if it's a bug, or I'm just not able to figure it out, but I can't seem to find the light receiver on the last level for the middle center door. There is a receiver that does nothing and from the gmx room file, it seems to be the one associated with the door. My guess is that it opens the center door while closing the one on the right, and it would explain the need for the light "holder". Here's the receiver and the doors in question. Image 1.png
I think this is a great game! Really interesting stuff.
Jumping and shooting feels great. Balloon popping animation is awesome. Didn't see a reason to let go of balloon other than that one level. Great game!
Thanks to the comments, I closed the game after the second battle. I don't want my pc shutting down. Not sure if that was the last one, but it was enough to know that the art, music, gameplay, dialog are all great! Maybe put a checkbox in the beginning opting out of the "full experience" haha. That way it's not the default. I'd be pretty pissed off if it had shut my pc down and it would have reflected on the rating.
I always like an automation game. I got an error after I beat a large level. Not sure if it was the last one. I really enjoyed it! Great game!
I'd prefer if the spell was cast faster, even if healing/damaging the same amount per time. Other than that, really great game!
Good twist on the snake game. Later on, the "boss" gets too hungry too fast, imo. Nice game!
Couldn't survive more than 5 waves. The upgrades didn't seem to make a lot of difference and the buying phase happened while there were still waves coming. Good graphics and music loop.
Really nice animation and camera movement!
Difficult to tell which one you are sometimes. Seems like the game is infinite but the difficulty stays the same. The music is great and implementation really good. I liked that when you want to talk to someone that is going up or down the stairs, you actually go to where they are headed. Good game!
Jump was too low for me on web and windows versions. I won twice and lost twice. Great music!
Even when on full screen, the camera was hard to control and I didn't know if I was being successful at sneaking or not. Very original idea.
Really nice game! It really feels like a complete game and it was fun trying to optimize the path customers would take. I wish there was a way to remove the barriers you've already placed. Here's my last day: Image 1.png
Nice art and music. Made for a good mood. I also kinda did very little to get to the end, tho. Good game!
Hard to aim, but I think that's kinda the point. Nice, polished game!
Being your first game, it's really good!
I tried the web version. FPS was really choppy. Nice idea and music!
I didn't really understand the card game, but I was able to win twice. I really liked the movement mechanics. I've worked with Unity's drag and drop api before (if that's what you used) and it can be really frustrating sometimes, but I liked the idea that you can set the path and press play when you're ready. Good game!
It was challenging to always remember where everything was and keep a mental map of the level. Even more so with the color choices haha. Controls were a bit annoying. There is a large amount of precision needed to pick stuff up. Since the game is time based, it lowered the fun a bit for me. Great game!
Nice concept! Felt satisfying. Great game!
Nice game! Didn't know there was a shop at first until I read the comments. Then I went back and the game was way more fun haha. Good job
Great art! The only issue I had was with the threshold for the camera to move to the sides being too far. The flying feels good. Nice game!
Graphics really put me off. Why is the quit button not available? I liked that the bullets are actual commands and the FPS getting lower. Good game!
Most fun part was optimizing the routes with all the drifting. Completed the game twice. Sometimes, when I was already half-way falling into the water, I'd just snap back onto the track. Still, really cool that the game was made with custom game and physics engine! Great entry!
Felt powerful at times. The mobs are easy to beat, in general, but it's more fun when they gang up on you. The boss was a little frustrating, as I found myself waiting a lot before going into the fight, otherwise I'd rewind all the way to the bottom. Really liked the camera movements and the music changing when getting in and out of combat. Great game!
It's awesome that you made a game for the NES haha! I wasn't able to beat it, though. It got a little tedious to keep dodging for a long time only to get all that time added back because of a small mistake. I got really close, though, only 20 secs remaining, but then eventually I got back to 2m30. I really liked the dynamic music. Great game!
Really cool game! Very intuitive
This was a weirdly enjoyable game. Kept breaking the existential loop, though haha. Good job!
I really like the idea and how the visual were put together! Tough to beat, though. Couldn't get used to the timing of the controls. Good job!
Update: I beat the boss! Really rewarding hahaha
Story-wise, I didn't get it. I got to the ending, but just kept trying a bunch of different combinations. This is really well put together, though. Good job!
Kinda frustrating. Couldn't get the shoot timing right. Liked the dialogs! Good job!
A little too real haha. Nice game!
Really liked the progression system and it really feels like the skills you get through practice match the rate of ability purchase. A little frustrating when the counter continues after the boss' arrival. Awesome game!
A little confusing, but I liked the world you've built for it. Good job!
Very nice game! Collisions were a little finicky, did not interfere with the fun. Great job!
Really like the concept. The direction of the swing can be unpredictable. Good game!
@Dharby @spacemyname @dmitry-mozgin @mg-beatz @liam-twose @apbakeware @gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida @fonics @kromeboy @elizir @nohac @rhoff95 @eugenik @marcmagus @shelvid @binaryprinciple @lectvs @duke @ansoneh @garywiss @oddmes @kaiomoi @smiley405 @guimoliveira @wendel-scardua @mkraw
Thank you all so much for playing my game! I really appreciate it!
If I haven't played, rated and commented on your game yet, I will. I'm slowly working through them haha
Just fyi, the circle flips when the ball is going straight and bounces on a wall. The flip is based on the direction of the bounce. It might not have been a good idea, though.
@fonics, yes, that would probably work really well!
@rhoff95 yeah, I tried thinking of this game more as a puzzle, but didn't get far. I'll continue working on it and I'll try to do more of that. Thanks!
@marcmagus it took me a lot of tries to do the round on the gif below haha
@lectvs I agree, slowing it down and working more on level design would benefit the gameplay
@duke I gotta find a balance between difficulty and level design. I'm still not very experienced in that kind of stuff.
@Oddmes Tried thinking of more interesting mechanics to put in the game. Maybe a wall that breaks if u bounce once or other stuff like that. Used a lot of the jam time on the movement and trying to get collisions right haha
Took me an embarrassing amount of tries to make the gif below haha.

Awesome game! Everything is great. I guess the only thing I didn't quite like was the jumping mechanics, being able to jump with both the W and space keys, but still, that's pushing a bit. Great work!
Really nice visuals and good sound effects. I found it to be really short. Or did I miss something? Great job!
Great mechanic! It was sometimes unclear if I was able to hit the head or the enemy's hand (assuming hitting the head is different than the hand). The sounds were kinda similar. Seemed very polished and not at all done in a day. Good job!
Very interesting levels! Level 16 was a little frustrating, but overall I really liked it! Good game!
nice game! Feels like i'm fighting the controls a bit too much. Hook is unpredictable. Got to the end, but couldn't find the "real" end. Really complete game. Great job!
Awesome concept! Push force can be too weak and take a long time to move sometimes. Great game!
The physics collider was pretty accurate, but sometimes it seamed there wasn't a way through. Really liked that you put an option for changing radio stations, even though they were quite simple tunes. Good work making this and learning Unity in 48 hrs! Keep at it.
Nice, pleasing game, even though simple. Projectiles already feel good to shoot without any sound, which isn't trivial to achieve. But do use sounds, as the simplest ones already improve the gameplay a lot. Good job! I got 68 points.
I liked the visuals, even though simple. Kinda difficult to maneuver with the keyboard when you can move twice the initial distance. Couldn't test with a controller, but it would be smoother, I think. Great entry!
Great art and satisfying sounds. By the end I was spamming the dash key and got careless with the orange balls. Nice game!
This is nicely put together. The face appears whether I set scare to yes or no, so I'm not sure what that does. Cool visual effects. Good job!
Really cool mechanic and interesting puzzles! An indicator of where the ship was and a hud with the spaceship parts left would have been nice, but maybe not as clean as a design. Great game!
Really nice upgrades UI and music. Most of the fun for me was shooting stuff that was really far away. Upgrades felt more like unlocking than improving. Great game!
Well polished and solid mechanics!
There are definitely too many guitar players compared to bass players, so this game is accurate. Walking forward and holding LMB made it kinda easy after a while. Maybe taking longer to charge the RMB would be more challenging. Great entry!
Great visuals! Overall, I found the 3rd level to be the hardest. The 4th one showed a mechanic that I thought would be used afterwards, but then it wasn't used later. Really nice touches with the tutorial popups and time stats after solving a level.
I got 10 satified customers! Cool game and idea. I really liked the music. Yes, it's way better to undershoot. I just wish camera controls were smoother while airborne, so I'd know which way to run after. Other than that, well done!
Nice idea and cool that there is a leaderboard! The one time I could get the extra paper stack, I crashed haha. Got a high score of 7.
Awesome plot haha! Really enjoyed the graphics and sounds. Only found kinda hard to pickup and run sometimes. Very well put together.
Really fun! Sounds are just perfect. Snow effects are amazing. Just couldn't coordinate the rotation with the jump, so I just ended up jumping. Cool mechanic where you get a little more air time when delivering presents.
The ending made me laugh hahaha. Good job on this one. I specially liked the UI
Everyone, thank you for playing and for the feedback!
@zungryware I tried manking the pizza button more responsive and animated, but it was a last hour kind of touch haha. And the goal is to zero out all the orders. It can be tricky, depending on how nice randomness is.
@ayced ah, yes. That also bothered me. I couldn't figure out how to make a smooth kinematic collision with the engine. And don't feel bad. It's impossible not to get fired haha
@sharploaded I spent about half of the time on the controls, since it's the crux of the game. For now, I found that going forward and not hitting anything feels good :)
@braveskin Thanks!
@osh-studio yes, colliding gets kinda sticky haha
@kromeboy I left it on what I thought as the "hard but doable" mode because I thought just driving around was most of the fun anyways haha.
Loved the graphics. Great music. At least for the web version, really tricky to move around the map, and the game can be a bit grindy at the first tier. Really good overall!
Fun game! Took a few tries to get the feel for it. Couldn't get any roof ones, though.
Couldn't really do much. Got hunger -400%, 3 pots, 2 axes, but didn't seem like i could get it to event out. Liked the graphics, effects and camera controls, though.
Fun trying to keep everything organized so it doesn't get in the way afterwards. Kinda frustrating loosing stuff throught the walls, but other than that, pretty solid controls. Great entry!
Cool and relaxing. I was willing to spend more time on it than the time it took to finish. Great entry!
First I thought it was gonna be relaxing. Then I thought it was a horror game disguised as a cute game. Then I realized was I was doing and it became relaxing again. Really nice one!
Great graphics and sound. Some levels I thought I did fine just to find out it wasn't enough in the end, but very satisfying to calculate the distance to the drop.
Really great game! And done only with webgl, canvas and javascript, from what I can see. That's really awesome! It took me a while to finish them all (specially the last 4), but it was really rewarding after each one. Great entry!
The popups make it kinda hard to figure out where to go, sometimes, but the idea is really solid. The movement along the roads seem really smooth.
Nicely put together! Challenging but doable. Found myself kinda missing something for finer controls, like acceleration, for example. Great entry!
The visuals are just awesome. I really liked the music, even though it was a loop, it had some variation to it. A couple times, I couldn't reach or find the goal, as I kept trying to get a glipse of a yellow beam somewhere on the top of the screen. Really great job on this one, overall!
Very well put together, but the controls are hard to grasp. I couldn't gather enough credits to upgrade, it seems, or I didn't figure out how. Great job!
Nice mechanics, altough I found the controls a little weird. Animations and the slow down are great!
