I liked the game a lot! The scenery got a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the slightly wonky controls. Backing up seemed really tricky though. I also missed the turn where I ... had to drive through a freaking building?!?! and I saw a ramp I wanted to go up, but it wouldn't let me :( Still delivered my packages on time though.
That bug rmc reported is pretty funny :) overall great job!
Great game. I didn't get the highest score, but I really liked the trade off mechanic, and it had a good twitch factor to it. Controls seemed tight which is important for a game like this. The sound and graphics are the big thing I'd consider improving.
Love the graphics and sound. Also nice use of the theme! Our game was also about stealing.
I like the colorful graphics. It reminds me of DOS games like Commander Keen. The music was nice but it could have used some sound effects when punching kids.
Fun game! The graphics were simple but effective.
It may be worth it to put the controls in your description. It took me a bit to figure out how to control, but once I did I was collecting radioactive rocks like no ones business!
I liked the use of the theme and the graphics! It took me a little while to understand how killing the cats worked, and for some reason after the intro I imagined that I could stack lots of them on my head in a giant tower of cats, but once I did the game was pretty straight forward -- simple but fun. Good job!
The graphics in this were really nice. My one suggestion is, I feel like more could be done to space out the spawns. It felt like I often eventually lost because flowers spawned in an unbeatable pattern. Allowing you to jump through the flowers above you and land on them might help alleviate this somewhat too.
Man, I'm terrible at the game. Maybe that's why I don't have many friends in real life.
Very impressive for the compo! Some of the pieces took me a bit to figure out how to do but super well done!
Its neat to see another game about stealing, where carrying more items is harder. That's what my group ended up doing too! I really like the animations in this game.
Cool game! There is definitely an impressive amount of content here, I was expecting one or two levels and it just kept going. I'd second the sprint key -- it seems silly if you have unlimited sprint, it pretty much just means you have to hold down shift the whole time.
I really appreciate the comments! The visual clipping on the walls with doorways is definitely my biggest pet peeve about the game in its current state too. I had wanted to tackle it but sadly we ran out of time. It works slightly better in editor -- instead of making the walls invisible if they're between you and the camera we just alpha them a bit, but the doorways were still a bit wonky. Alpha didn't work in HTML 5 though unfortunately.
Thanks again for the feedback!
I was really impressed by the art in this one! Also, cool that you used Godot. I've been meaning to give it a try.
Fun game! Simple but well executed. The game I worked on also used the thief / encumbrance theme, but ended up pretty different.
The graphics and game work really well! its like Sokoban with monsters!
I sure did kill that shark with those explosives! It was pretty funny the first time he got up out of the water and shot at me :) Really good job, especially considering you restarted with 22 hours left! Its simple, but fun and uses the theme well.
It may not have been all there, but it was still pretty fun throwing poop, and I bought a ship I think! (though maybe it doesn't do anything yet?) Good job! There is a lot there considering this is your first Game Jam!
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
@tyler-funk You can skip to the solver by clicking the countdown timer. It isn't mentioned anywhere in game so its easy to miss, but it is listed in the controls section on this page.
@thecommonthug I wish we had a few more levels too. We were hoping to have at least 3 but we ran out of time towards the end.
@SuperQGS We used Unity but its probably harder to tell than it usually is since we have the pro version so it doesn't have the Unity splash screen. We also used a different WebGL loader template which makes the HTML5 loader at the beginning look a bit nicer in my opinion (https://github.com/greggman/better-unity-webgl-template).
Thanks for all the new comments! I really appreciate them.
@pennycook You're probably right. I think it could also be fixed by me making the structure of the final sentence a bit cleaner, or maybe even instead of [1] [2] having [Country] [Person] or something.
A lot of people are mentioning the disks falling off screen after saving / ejecting as an issue and we agree. There was a plan to have them recycle to the top of the disk pile after ~10 seconds but sadly it never got implemented.
Really fun entry! Also, I love that you use Godot! I've been experimenting with it but I haven't bitten the bullet to try it on a game jam. I love the running out of air mechanic, it makes the game really tense.
Very intense game! I enjoyed it, but my wrist also hurts :D I got 75530.
The game is pretty sweet. I wish there was already a bunch of junk packed into the van (maybe poorly?) so that the levels could be shorter but more intense. Really good use of the theme!
Took me a bit to figure out what I was doing but the game seems fun! I laughed pretty hard when I pressed 3 and saw a giant dog head on the scientist. Nice work!
Game seemed hard at first -- then I realize the wall resets your jump and I just rode the wall to victory. Beat the whole game! I'm guessing that's a bug so figured I would mention it :) Over all fun game and cute graphics!
I killed many crabs with my laser beam eyes! Super cool game. I like the shrinking island, it works well for the theme!
The game was definitely fun and tense! I think toward the end it could use a bit more strategy. It seemed like at the end when the screen was filling up the optimal strategy was pretty much to run back and forth across the screen. Maybe instead of increasing spawn rate indefinitely, start having bad things spawn that if you collect you lose or take damage (radioactive garbage? Missiles being fired at you from Earth?) Overall good job on the Jam!
Strange concept but actually pretty fun to play! Good job!
Really cool well designed puzzle game. Great work!
Seems fun! A little ways in it let me walk right off the edge and then I couldn't play which is probably just a bug (or if that happens the player should be killed / respawned or something).
Lots of fun. Man, my hand got tired trying to type all those words.
The art work is really cute and the game seems neat!
Definitely one of the more fun entries I've played. Simple but well done!
Pretty fun! I got a bit confused as to what I needed to do once I finished making the stew, but eventually I figured out the exit opened up.
The idea was cool! I found the controls super hard to use though -- but maybe that's part of the fun.
I liked the graphics and how easy it was to pick up the rules and play! Seems like a really cool concept.
@Jeffrey Hwang @nardandas @Amatwiedle @Badical Thanks! I agree the pacing could use some work. Maybe I should have sped up the gameplay and put a time-limit on the final golfers to keep things from dragging too much. @Fernando Labarta @Matt Pattabhi Thanks! @Ripter I added a description of how the score works. Its basically how many shots it takes the golfers to finish the hole. That number times ten is what you get in money at the end of the round. @rjhelms Good idea. I added some instructions to the top. @dalbinblue I think that's how I feel about the end product. Its kind of a funny activity. It didn't quite make it all the way to being a fun game, but watching all the golfers freaking out on wave 10 is pretty funny.
@Fabian Pohl Thanks! The majority of the 3D art we used was external, taken from CC0 assets around the web. The majority are from Kenney (https://kenney.nl/) who has a huge library of awesome assets! Added that to the description, which I probably should have done earlier.
@dob Good ideas. I had been toying with having a number over the golfers head to show their current stroke count. Its possible I could have made balls only have a certain number of hp, and later stages they get more or something. The cost of upgrades not showing is pretty bad, if I had 10 more minutes I would have fixed it, but I was a bit down to the wire to get the game posted.
I'm not terribly good at it, but its surprisingly polished for a game jam game! Good job!
fun and silly.
