As a person who regularly glitches in some games, I can say that the concept of this is awesome. Overall implementation and graphics are quite good given the short time span that was available to you. I'd give it an overall 4/5 Darn close to 5/5
Hey there. Perhaps it's just me being biased as someone who is a pretty good whistler, but I quite enjoyed playing this game.
The gameplay its self felt pretty good but it was still fairly lacking.
I'd say one rather disappointing thing about the game play is that your notes don't really have durability. What I mean by that is that you don't get much pay off for whistling longer notes. It's nice that your longer notes cover a larger area, but I think it would of been much better that the longer notes also could stand to hit more enemies. It was kind of disappointing that my longer notes would still only result in like one hit and instantly disappear.
In short, I feel that the note length should of effected it's durability allowing you to pierce through multiple enemies.
If that would of made the game to easy, then I'd say the remedy to that would probably be to increase the rate at which the enemies spawned or maybe increased their speed by a bit.
And in terms of the enemies themselves, I'd say that you could of improved them simply by adding more variance to their health and sizes. Like having a large (and thus easier to hit) boss, but with a lot of health.
But I can also understand that you were building this in a time limit, and likely didn't have the time for all of that.
Ah... And it's not really important but I feel like mentioning it. I got a high score of about 6 missed targets with my whistling. I bet I could do better if I try again when I'm not tired (I don't think I slept all that well last night or something as I've been feeling quite drowsy)
Ah... Seems I forgot to mention that I do plan on getting around to completing this. Honestly my participation in the Ludum Dare Jam was entirely spontaneous. I had heard of it before but didn't actually ever consider joining in until a couple days before the Jam, when I was reminded of it from somewhere on youtube. So I didn't really have time to prepare for it.
But yeah... I intend on completing it. Probably won't be working on it as rapid paced as I have the past few days though. I do actually have other things I've been working on.
This was a great (if a bit confusing) experience! Especially since I've pretty much never worked in a team environment before.
I'm glad my beehive/swarm and spirit code worked out in the end, and I'll be sure to look over the work other people did in this.
I kinda wish I had managed to get the wolf code done before you submitted this, considering you submitted before the 72 hour deadline, but oh well.
I hope to have future ventures of this kind with y'all in the future.
