The atmoshere was great. Love that the submarine rotates when moving left/right.
As others have said, I would have loved some increased difficulty as time went on, but at the same time it was a very relaxing and zen experience to just chill and go down. (I went 3000m deep :stuck_out_tongue:)
Great job for a solo dev and in 2 days only !
The jump felt good ! The attack was a bit complicated to use at first but still manageable. I would have loved more sounds, but the ones already present were nice :)
Well done !
How ? In 72h......How ? Not only the graphics are amazing but the Audio is also incredible ! You could honestly release this on Steam with a few more features
Very nice game, the graphics are amazing, especially the intro sequence !
Only (very) minor feedback I have is : its hard to know how many "lives" (or knights) I have left, because looking at the top right while falling felt too dangerous. That being said the UI (the main menu and the death menu in particular) were extremelly well made. Very impressive for a Game Jam.
Also really loved the little animation when starting a new run ! Made the game looked very polished ! Great job !
Played the non-Vr version ! Impressive work in only 3 days !!!
Yeah, as other have mentionned the "only press 7 strategy" removes any challenge, which is sad because the game could have some potential. It would probably be more challenging and fun if you could only land on the last tile.
Some actionnable feedback so you can improve for next Game Jam : I would recommend having a friend testing your game during the second day of the Jam to find those kind of issues before the end of the Jam ;)
The music and graphics are very cute :thumbsup:
OMG I love the graphics ! Love that there are multiple weapons. Love the upgrade menu and the Game Loop.
The mines were a bit overwelming, lot of them and basically invisible. The fact that it looks like the enemies respawn + the 02 meter made me not want to explore. I instead stayed near an elevator because I was constantly needing to refill my O2, and full on parts from the enemies nearby. Lastly I would have loved a little bit more feedback when killing sharks, like a little particle or have them blink when hit.
The shotgun and multi-missile felt soooo good to play. Well done !
Great Game overall !
I had the same problem as other players report : the game freezes when trying to move with WASD at the start of the level. But after reloading the page i could now move with WASD. (I did press every other buttons before WASD : Q+E, page up and down and space bar, maybe it unstuck the game ?) I really like the idea of the game and the overall look of it.
I also really wanted to play it more but I do not seem to understand some parts of it, when above water you get hit by missiles but avoid mines. But when underwater you get hit by mines but also missiles ? There didn't seem to be any advantage to go under water. The planes also seemed way too strong and I could not find a way to counter them and not get killed.
I still genuinely enjoyed myself playing it so Good Job nonetheless !
Holy ! The graphics are amazing ! Well done !
Cool idea and cool game, my first few fights went much better than Mirtrix, I guess I got lucky with my rolls :) I was also able to pick a lot of cards that activate with the number "5" very early in my run, I could one shot every enemy when I rolled it, which was quite fun but also reduced the challenge a bit.
I would love to try a version were my health is not refilled between fights, just to see how far I could go
That was a very nice entry, good job for a solo dev
Loved the theme and the mood, loved tinkering with the knobs, even if I had a bit of trouble understanding how to actually turn them at first (it was a bit counter-intuitive to have to move my mouse up and down to turn the knob left and right) After a few tries I got the hang of it and could decrypt files faster than my assigned FBI agent.
Great entry !
I smashed dem aliens real good, showed them I was no wuss
Explosion
So very cool, loved the use of shaders and post process that give a great mood, loved the sound of the engine when accelerating. Super solid entry, great job !
Loved the mood and the visuals
Got messed up by right-click to attack on the left and left-click to attack on the right :D
Very nice entry !
Loved it, took me 10 minutes to cook those cucumbers but god damn I did !
What a cool and relaxing game. Loved the music, loved the visual effect on the circle when it grows and shrink, loved sifting for dem green dots !
Kept trying to save all my friends but in the end we had to leave John behind, now the Mountain holds him forever.
Cool mood, I got invested in the story but got stuck on the big big word. But at least I have potatoes ;) Nice entry
Very funny game
So very cool, loved the vibe, and the strategy was actually great once I understood the idea of changing the previous signal vs creating a new one.
So cool and polished, loved it !
Got your nose ! The mood was incredible, I will be pondering the wisdom of the Baboon King for the next few weeks. Great entry !
