GG ! The game is really good. Music and art is OK, theme very well respected. And I had challenge AND fun :smile: I'm still askin myself if the slower speed when you move backward or strafe and the fact that when you hold a chicken you don't see very well where you are firing are a pain for me or if they make the game harder and stressful, so more challenging and fun for me^^
I really liked the atmosphere (sounds/music/vfx/graphics) !
It seemed to me that my character was not completely looking at my mouse cursor and missing the enemy a bit. Not too frustrating, but still something worrying for me as I was being chased by a dozen yellow arrows ^^ Also I felt like it's way more important to avoid the enemies than killing them fast because they can they kill YOU very fast while the time counter doesn't goes too fast, maybe that would be interesting if these two ways of losing were more balanced.
But overall, the game is simple and fun but not easy, good job :smile: !
Wow ! I have to say it looks awesome (this low poly/res reminds me of Warcraft 3) and also sounds really good. The style is coherent too, although maybe the environments are a bit repetitive after a while. I would also say that it plays very well and I had fun playing it.
That would be best though if you could fix two bugs : - base projectile (small fireball) does not shoot when running in the opposite direction of the shot (seems to collide with the lantern ??) which is a very common move in topdown shooter - I lost because at some point a skeleton got close enough to me to be stuck between me and my lantern, thus preventing me from shooting him Without these, I'll be happy to try and finish the game again :D
The game is short and simple but really effective and polished ! I'm impressed by your work, good job. I beat it on the third try ! I was so close on the first try just by being almost out of the screen at all time lol but it was so long without attack boost that I didn't make the effort to dodge some bullets x) The thing you could do to if you wanted to continue to improve would be to force the player to use varied strategies during the course of the fight, but it's already really good.
That's a pretty cool game to mess around with :smile: Good job ! Missing the currency part of the theme but it's a really good start for something great :wink: Also the music is simple but fitting, good job !
Hey, does the game ends at 320 points or so ? I played twice and got 320 points and 30%HP each time, and people stop spawning. If it means I beat the game, then I guess the difficulty is OK :) Too bad the 2 other branches don't seem useful. The game overall lacks polish and is not that fun yet to me but I really liked the music and the tree graphics ! Good job !
@nico-the-pro, I fixed that, now you have both the WebGL version playable in-browser and a link to download the Windows version on https://bouergh.itch.io/greedy-hp ;) That's our first step toward making it playable by more people. :smile:
If I find the time, I plan to make keyboard controls for 1 or 2 players in addition to the gamepads. But if you have no friends @jofersgames / @fiiction you'll still only be able to try the gameplay on 1 character with the others idle, sorry :cry: (edit : I think it counts as a new feature so even if I do this I'll probably name the build differently and specify that this was added after the beginning of the jam ? I really want to make people able to use a keyboard instead but maybe it's against the rules :/ )
Can't really make bots right now, and even though less people will be able to enjoy the game during the jam, I think a big part of the experience is to speak with your friends in local game @korteh . You should still be able to have a bit of fun with only 2 or 3 players though (the game only requires 1 gamepad to launch right now).
@youpeoples I know, right ? :smile: Thank you !
Thanks for your feedback everyone !
Thanks @black-potion , I know the pain and I think I was quite lucky with the WebGL build, but this time I just had to remove a useless package and it built out of the box ! Unity is great :smile: It's also a good thing the assets made by our very talented artists were both beautiful and lightweight : I feel like Greedy HP loads faster on WebGL than some other games I tried today !
