It took a couple plays before I realized where score was coming from, but I was engaged enough to play the few times. The controls felt good, and smashing into a wall felt as devastating as I imagine you wanted it to
I can't get it to run longer than a few seconds on Windows without crashing unfortunately... I'll check back later in case you're allowed to fix it
Awesome idea, it's a bit easy when both players try in its current state, but the concept is fun
I like that there are different objectives for each level, and outside of gameplay, volume sliders are always great.
A ton of content, I am only able to make it to the fight with the fire boss, but there are already so many enemy types and great art with nice animations. The obstacles aren't really a problem(at least in the point where I got), so my only criticism is that it doesn't feel super on theme.
I don't usually like platformers, but that felt really fluid, intuitive, and fun. I only wish there was more!
Very Challenging and fun in setting up patterns of movement to remember and avoid later
Great art and cool way to fit the theme
Cool idea! I don't know how you made that sound effect actually sound like a bad word, but I love it
That was fun! I wish I had more control over where I could aim and over the bomb-generating boxes, but I guess those restrictions make it better fit the theme, and I had fun playing it!
I'm terrible at jumping puzzles, so didn't make it past the tree, but it looks and sounds good and was fun up through getting frustrated
Awesome game overall! Loved when you can feel the intention of the level design, and the undo mechanic is super important without making the game feel too easy!
Cool spin on a classic game with some nice (mildly creepy) flavoring as well!
Loved this! Spent more time playing this than any other game so far!
That was genuinely fun! Loved the little puzzliness to it before you had the torpedoes. Thanks you for the respawn checkpoints, probably wouldn't have kept playing through till the end if it restarted from the beginning
Cute game! Nice on-theme music and un-obtrusive sound effects!
Awesome music and sounds, this was also the first game to make me chuckle out loud, thanks!
Fun game! I like having to balance not only the positioning of the shield for two objectives, but also how many portions of the shield you should break to be able to better position in the future!
I think the meteor swarm sped up more than it needed to in the end. It was cool to transition from aiming rockets around the shield to aiming rockets around the asteroids, but it would also be cool to watch the lower rate of meteors go from "not a big deal" to "oh no, now we're out of resources to stop what wasn't a big threat before"
Beautiful game, funny idea, and the bunny hoard really does start to feel inevitable :joy:
It was a bit hard to click on the rabbits, fudging the hitboxes so they're a bit larger than the graphics can make it a bit smoother for the clumsy people like me if that's something you'd like!
I thought I was getting into the swing of things and then the big boy slidin in out of nowhere :joy:
Pretty fun
Fun, cute little game! Loved the transition from running around punching one or two little rabbits at a time to eventually making your last stand around your last couple carrots against the bunny hoard :joy:
I love a fun puzzle game! This was good level design with easier levels to introduce new ideas and then more challenging ones to test them out! Fun, on-theme mechanic!
There is a bug where if you do a second movement before the first is complete, you will teleport to complete the first move and then start doing the second, but it doesn't affect game logic
I wasn't expecting to like a platformer, but it was really fun!
Super well arted and animated!
Love the simple control scheme and gameplay feedback via art and sound, so it's easy to understand without a big text wall!
Great example of how to scope a ludum dare game and then knock it out of the park with polish!
Really fun, great art style, I love bouncing from head to head!
Funny game, and I really like the way the main menu was implemented!
Fun game, I like the role reversal from the classic snake ahaha, and I love the instrument played yourself! I tried recording my kalimba but couldn't get the sound quality nice enough like you've seemed to!
I won't reiterate stuff other people have mentioned, but here are a few quick and easy tips to polish a game very quickly:
- Use a consistent color scheme - I’m terrible at picking out colors, so I use a color scheme generator when I need a new one, like https://coolors.co/e9d758-297373-ff8552-e6e6e6-39393a. If you don’t like the colors you can just reroll them, or lock some of them in and just reroll the ones you don’t like
- Pick a fun font - There are lots of default fonts installed, but if you don’t like any of them, you can pick out a custom one from a site like https://www.dafont.com/ (just make sure the license permits whatever use you intend it for), download it, drag it into your Unity Assets folder, and it’s ready to go! It’s actually kind crazy what a different font can make; getting one that matches the vibe you’re going for can completely change feel of the game!
- If you're working in Unity, add lots of particles! Don't go overboard and flood the screen with them. My philosophy is that almost every action and event should have a reserved, appropriate particle effect, but even just adding a bit here and there can have a surprising difference in making a game feel more polished. This can be the most time-consuming to implement of these tips, but there are also very simple ways to implement them that don't even require code. Examples: have any moving elements leave a trail of particles; have important buttons, characters, or items radiate particles; create particle effects that go off when an item/character is spawned in
Fun! The sound effects were great; it's nice being able to rely upon them for feedback about the bonus bar so you don't have to look up at in the middle of moving around
Cute little game! Well executed on the theme, and interesting original idea! Looking forward to playing the games you make in the future
That was a really cool experience! The art was cool, the controls were fun! I couldn't interact with most of the plants, but I had a good time just walking around even :joy:
Really fun, my only feedback is that I wish there was more of it! More attack types, more enemy types, more explosion power ahaha! I'm sure there would've been if it weren't for time constraints, but it was super fun! Spent more time playing this than any other game so far
This was fun! Really nice job tuning the AI to feel competitive! The music kept it really happy and upbeat the whole time too!
Took a bit to get used to the controls and the layout, but once I did, it felt like the pressures of having too much to at work! In the nicest way possible :joy:
Super interesting concept, beautiful art, nice audio! The movement is a bit fiddly, but that's fine, it's your first platformer! Had a lot of fun playing it and looking forward to the games you make in the future :D
Cute little game! I see the suggestions I'd make have already been made, but I wanted to add appreciation for the sassy little swivel enemies do to get around you when you block them for too long ahaha!
Love this game; a great example of simplicity in controls! It would've been the standard thing to give a shoot button and movement buttons, but you've combined those into one, which makes it much easier to learn and opens the door to some new interesting gameplay decision-making!
Goes without saying, but cute art, and nice classic sounds
Took me a while to figure out what was going on, but once I did, it is a cool concept! Definitely on theme, fun to rush around and balance the two danger bars while waiting on the evacuation one!
The sound and lighting really contribute to the atmosphere, great job on both of those!
Bump myself up higher or shoot the birds? Easy, always shoot the birds
Congrats on your first game and Ludum Dare entry! Hope you stick around to make more!
There are lots of complex things you'll learn to do as you make more complex games, but here are a few quick tips that are super easy and help make things a bit smoother:
- Use a consistent color scheme - I'm terrible at picking out colors, so I use a color scheme generator when I need a new one, like https://coolors.co/e9d758-297373-ff8552-e6e6e6-39393a. If you don't like the colors you can just reroll them, or lock some of them in and just reroll the ones you don't like. Even with no other changes, your game would look pretty solid if the colors matched each other a bit better
- Use rounded squares for textures - get paint.net (https://www.getpaint.net/download.html) if you don't already have it, you can draw out a rounded corner rectangle in whatever dimension you need in a few seconds, save it, and drop it into game!
- Pick a fun font - There are lots of default fonts installed, but if you don't like any of them, you can pick out a custom one from a site like https://www.dafont.com/ (just make sure the license permits whatever use you intend it for), download it, drag it into your Unity Assets folder, and it's ready to go! It's actually kind crazy what a different font can make; getting one that matches the vibe you're going for can completely change feel of the game!
Fun game! I spent way more time playing this than I thought I would ahaha
Fun games and nice art style, final score was 35!
Awesome, awesome game! Very well scoped/polished/tuned
Nice seeing the visuals and hearing the audio change between minigames. Fun at first and then even more fun once you stick with it and realize how to be maximizing the multiplier!
Fun! I lasted longer here than I did in Paper's Please, the eyes were my favorite part 😂
Fun game! I love the consistent color scheme and simple but elegant car AI
Super fun, funny sound effects! I think I played for longer than I was supposed to, ran out of weapons to pick from ahaha
I like watching mosquitos die, especially with nice particle effects :joy:, nice job!
:angry: ahahaha :angry:
I absolutely did, I dunno why but I'm a sucker for these kinds of games :)
Very cool concept, well executed! The graphics are super nice, well done!
Fun game! I really liked how the "danger zones" fade as your distance to them changes, lets you add a lot of elements without making the screen feel cluttered!
Fun game! Nice consistent art style and sound effects. An impressive amount of levels, I thought they were being randomly spawned until it said I was on the last one!
Only constructive feedback is that hitboxes felt a bit wonky sometimes, my arrows seem to only sometimes kill enemies they pass though (vs land on at the target)
Fun and funny! I appreciate the content there if you know the ending and go back to finish it early :P
Fun game! Each level added something new and interesting, especially like the ones you can figure out based on instinct and learning from previous levels
Super well polished game! Loved the music and graphics, even if I'm terrible at bullethell games 😂
Had a lot of fun with this! The music is fitting in a way where it fits right into your mind while playing the game instead of getting repetitive, and I love the little bit squidgyness when you bump into the already placed creatures ahaha
