Love the idea, and it feels like you did a ton of stuff in just 3 days. But still, i don't think the game is playable? After understanding that the spacebar allows me to stop and buy stuff, i tried to mix water and flour and the game crashed when i picked up the result. Also, the order's text is too small, maybe it's just a scaling issue but i had trouble reading.
A really good entry, I don't think i can give you much more praise than all the previous comments. I will say, for anyone that is struggling, that saws are OP (especially at max level), and upgrading your cat is useful too.
I like the visuals, the audio and the mood in general. I think it's also pretty impressive on the technical side for something made in three days. But honestly i can't really enjoy playing it : unless i missed something, there's nothing i can do to help on fights, there's no use for what adventurers find when scavenging, there's nothing special to points of interest like villages or graveyards... It just feels like something is missing, and it's probably quite normal for this kind of game in such a short jam.
This was a nice experience, between the music, the visuals, and the cave exploring. But i have a few points that bugged me out. First, the background and the walls aren't different enough to me, for example, i didn't realize the rock in front of the turret would block bullets. And secondly, a few checkpoints would have been a welcome addition, but i would understand if the absence of checkpoints is part of the design.
All hail Kugrash, the great rat king!
Simple mechanics and visuals, a complete and intuitive tutorial, neat puzzles with a really smooth difficulty curve, and an incredibly soothing music, all of that tied up masterfully in this little game... This is really impressive!
It's incredible that you've made this in 3 days! It basically feels like a jam version of Starsector. Now there's obvioulsy a lot of things you could do to improve it, but i'm sure you already know that so i'm not goona try to list them. But if this is just a start and you plan on expanding on the idea, i'll gladly follow your progress! (I'll probably follow your progress either way lol) Also, it feels weird to do this here, but i'd like to recommend Starsector to @groundwater-studio, because i think it could allow you to enjoy a type of gameplay that you aren't used to (and because i'm in love with the game).
Honestly, this is my favorite game from this jam so far! Drifting around at full speed is incredibly fun, and the cooking adds just enough things to think about while speeding through the city. As mentionned by someone else, the camera should follow the truck more closely, because it's hard to see anything ahead of the truck when going fast (I would even like a slightly larger camera honestly). Also, i don't know if you're just supposed to have some ingredients in advance for it, but the burger seems a bit too hard to deliver on time in endless mode. If you made a full version of this, i would probably buy it, so good job!
It's a really fun concept, and it could be an interesting mix between factorio and besiege if expended uppon! The camera does lag behing the cube quite a bit when it moves, but it's not that annoying. I would love playing a full game version of this honestly!
It's incredibly fun to fling yourself in the air like spiderman, grab a package while falling, and rush to the delivery point while it bounces everywhere. I would dig a game like that with a bunch of different levels like a trackmania campaign!
I loved the visuals and the overall mood. The old school models and texture really add a lot to the shaders. I love that you didn't just leave it black and white and put us through multiple colors. (Also the person chilling with the duck is so relaxed that they aren't affected by acid rain or the apocalypse, and i respect that)
I like the graphics, the pirate songs and the gameplay! I think it feels realy cool to draw the path in real time to avoid ennemies, and the progression from pirates to navy to monsters feels great, especially because they interact with each other.
I like it a lot, the upgrade system is nice and the difficulty is on point. My only gripe with it is the homing pigeons : on the first days they're basically a guaranty to get every target, while on saturday they become pretty much unable to do anything besides going in circles around the pigeon mech... The fun facts are a nice addition.
This is a really nice game! It's really cute and coherent, and it's filled with simple yet really good ideas. The fact that boxes physically encumber the character is neat, it makes me feel like i'm really carrying a big box. The cows are a hilarious addition, and the way they interact with us is great. I also like being able to throw the boxes, it reminds me of Payday lol. The pacing is nice too. The only problem i had was the fence at the bottom wich looks like it has a hole but doesn't.
I think the idea is realy cool. Building my own map? That sounds like a dream game to me! And there's a lot to like here, the visuals, the music, and the neat ideas like being able to create labels. But i can't help but feel like something's missing... I guess it's just the limitations of the jam, but most of the gameplay is adding a Y coordinate to an X coordinate, rinse and repeat, and i feel like it's too little to keep me engaged. Still, congrats!
@mr-danh Thanks for notifying us, it should be fixed now!
@denissobolev @rohanmoon We now have a (very) simple tutorial in the form of a GIF and a written explanation in the description. Thanks for trying anyway!
@virtualman52 Thanks a lot for the review! The warehouse types are randomized, so sometimes you get screwed over yeah... But it was an easy way to make each run feel a bit different, that's why it's still there.
