I Pretty love this game ! First, gg to use Unreal Engine, its pretty rare !:D The graphics and lightning are really well made, so its beautiful to watch as a starting point. The Gameplay is pretty simple, shooting the ball and scoring with it, nothing much, so its really easy to understand. As soon as we start playing it, we have a much fun ! :D
Most of it, the sound ambiance is pretty funny <
Well done then ! :D
Look like a great idea, but it seems like you ran out of time to implement everything. There is an important bug when you can still play after game over. The rules are pretty clear to understand, but more explanations could have been great(like how graphically look my objectives). The graphism however are well made and the level design too. Using an AI pathfinding should have been hard, glad you did it sucessfully !
Well done for completing this challenge then ! :)
It took me a little moment to understand how to manage everything, but as soon as I understood I found it pretty funny ! The graphics are really well made and UI is ergonomic enough to know what to do.
And the humor in miracles and word are good ! (I had BLACK FRIDAY and TWITTER as word, and some disturbing images as miracle xD)
Great job :-)
Interesting game here ! The graphical part is really well made, with a good staging (the war ambiance is well constructed) and with a really good level design. The war then, was a good choice to include the sacrifice theme, with expandables soldiers you have to waste in order to advance.
I however had some things who bothered me - I would have liked to rotate my character faster - Checkpoints would have been great in order to not doind the whole level each time - The AI could have simply been improved by rotating in direction of the player - Its a bit frustrating to not being able to shoot ennemies above.
I think the game is really more than correct for a Game jam game made in 48 hours by one person, I really think with more time and people it could have a lot of potential.
Great job then ! :-)
It look like an interesting idea but way not complete ^^ To be honest I didn't really enjoyed the Gameplay, maybe my screen was too little but I thought that my characters was mooving way too fast to have time to watch where i go and what I must shoot. I think the problem here was that you had constructed your gameplay good and everything was working but it just need some calibrating to make it a lot more enjoyable.
But for just 24 hours, its great that you managed to finish and build a game, moreober, the ambiance and graphics are pretty funny ^^
A little hard to understand how to play in the beginning, but the game is fun when we finally get it. Level design is not always that easy where making puzzle games, glad you achieve it sucessfully :)
Pretty simple and efficient game ! Really easy to learn, and the inclusion of sacrifice theme is well included. Plus, the physic inclusion (when you push a car with the bridge for example) add a little fun to watch
Great job here ! :)
Great arcade game with much levels implemented, well done ! There is also an humoristic ambiance well integrated, and a coherent graphic universe. Everything of this is not easy to do as the same time in a jam, then gg ! :)
Pretty good game, it diserve a lot more ratings ! As soon as I understood the rules of desision making and the consequences, I really enjoyed playing again and do the better score possible. From the other games I tested from this Ludumdare, this is one of those who better included the sacrifice theme. Graphically, this is simple but there is a good harmony between all the environments and characters, and the UI is pretty good.
I hope you will have more reactions on the future.
As a conclusion, I pretty enjoyed this game, you have a good mark from me.
Well done :)
PS : Le petit navire n'avais ja ja jamais navigué ohé ohééééééé ! :D
Interesting game, with a good balance between the theme and Gameplay. Simple to understand, but i can't find a real strategy which would be optimised (balancing a Gameplay is really hard , so for a game in less than 48 hours, its pretty good) Well done then :)
It fit good with the theme, and its well designed and functionnal, but the "Game" part is not really here. Of course we loose when we don't finish in time, but we have not a real reward to achieve it, something that would male me proud of beating the game. Instead of putting the same sentence after winning , maybe you could have give different ending, just as sentences.
Well done to have complete the ludumdare challenge by the way :)
It was a great challenge to try something that dark, it limit what you can do in gameplay but you did the challenge well !
Well done :)
Nice game with good graphics and sound ambiance. A little bit complicated to understand but still fun !
It was a great idea to use something you lived as a sacrifice to make it a game which fit pretty great with the theme :)
I thing you should have explained better how to play in the beginning, even if its pretty clear that we must moove to the end of the tables to take the dishes. Furthermore, I think its a little useless to make the player start in side of a table, because the plates never go out in there. And the GameOver screen is a little bugged, because it go back to the maion title and you just still can see your plates mooving.
But globally, the game works and everything is implemented just fine, you had an idea and made a game with that in such a few times, then challenge well done ! :)
The idea of the Gameplma is really great ! Having levels like challlenging Arcade mode when you have to go from point A to point B using the sacrifice to create covers. I think it could be way improved with better controls when rotating, and a little augmented delay from when the ennemy see you to when he start shoot at you.
Great job here :)
@codekim , thank you for your feedback ! However I don't really understand, it use the classic way of keyboard gaming, adapted for both Keyboards (WASD & ZQSD) + mouse buttons. Could you be more accurate on what is not going well ? Have a good day ! :)
@codekim , indeed, i did'nt think about thant, the fact that left click doesn't work is really strange by the way. I'll remember it next time, thanks ! :-)
@jannick-larsen : Thanks ! :D But Maybe I spend to much time on that for a Game Jam, i ran out of time for a lot of other things x)
@boundtotheearth : Thanks ! Im glad you liked the game ! :D Yes, I agree with you, initially I planned to add lifebars above ennemies head, but I think I had a bad timing organization and I had to give up on that and many other ideas ^^ And I figured too that the lifebar is sometimes slower than the value of player's life, which give the impression to not having the good value, but i saw that like..in the end and I was too tired to correct it xD
Thanks for the feedback then :-)
@kloscunha Haha ! Glad you loved the humor, it was one of the main things I wanted to work in this Jam (And your joke is really good to me by the wayh :D ) Honestly, I created the music like, 5 minutes before building the final Game, I just opened musescore and randomly add notes on a partition, and then I had my level music xD
Ah ! thanks to compare my game to this masterpiece ! But im waaaaaaaaay far from this actually xD
Thanks for the feedback ! :D
@loadsofmana It was so pleasing for me to implement this ! xD But if you chose the resistance capacitie, it cas absorb damages while you are dabbing, this is a good combination ;)
This is one of the best i tried from now ! The gameplay is just simple and fast to learn ! The sacrifice theme is also well included, plus with an humoristic way , what is pretty good with a theme like that haha !
I however noticed that sometimes, if blocked in a wall, your followers can't follow you, and I don't know if this is intentionally left (Sometimes, it give great moments dodging traps). Maybe with a Unity Navmesh, the following would have been more accurate, but its pretty good like that !
You've got a good mark by me now, great job ! :D
The core game is pretty fun. Being able to play both with 4 players and both with AI is a great thing I don't see often in other games ! The Gameplay is pretty easy to learn, and a game is fast, so I ended up trying much game to beat the AI without being bored at all However, its too bad that the game is always playing, it could have been great to have at least a start menu and a end game screen with the name of the winner player.
Great job then :)
Pretty interesting Gameplay, but its a bit difficult to control 3 cubes at a time, so you mostly end up choosing one cube and fast leaving the other, which is finally a great including of the theme ^^ After that the game is well made, simple and easy to learn, great job then ! :-)
Thegraphics are simple and pretty cute ^^ And the Gamle design is well made with a difficulty increasing and new gameplay features in all new levels.
So the game is well designed and well thougth, great job ! ;)
Preyy nice and easy to learn ! THe gameplay is a classical platformer, which is pretty satisfying with a great addition of features including the theme in a good way. Great job :-)
The graphics are cool and the difficulty seems to increase as fast as it should be. The theme is well respected too. The only thing that disturbed me a little was that the character does'nt often shoot in the good direction, which is pretty disturbing.
Great job then ! :D
Gameplay well done simple and clear ! The rules are a good idea, sacrifying time for bullets, which give a good level to try hard ! There is just a little glitch disturbing with the arms but its okay for a game done that fast, and another problem with jump timing sometimes when I anw to jump at the very end of the platform, which is a little frustrating.
Great job then ! Your game is pretty well made, good looking and functional, and that's a great sucess in a jam !
Look like a good idea, but its a little hard to understand how to play ^^ And I See you let the logs on, you should have desactivated before building i think. There is an effort to write humoristic dialogues, and I find it pretty funny.
And the big good point of this game is the Graphics, which are really beatiful !
Good job! Ending a game in such a few time was not that easy but you did the challenge ! :)
