Nice Mood and use of effects. as the others already said, the game is missing some form of feedback. Maybe some kind of sound that a car is approaching? Other than that really polished game. Oh and i think the driver would benefit from a idle animation, just like his partner in the back.
The music is great! Also i love your style. Wouldn't have thought to see a game that uses a voxel style. Everything looks colorful, cute and polished. And it's a nice touch that everything is moving according to the beat of the music. The only problem for me is the gameplay. The idea is great. But what keeps me from spamming the actions? I could just blindly mash the buttons to increase the bars. Maybe you could have put in a system which reduces the success bar if you overfill the other bars? Other than that, good job.
Escort Missions done right! Creative theme and really nice execution. You are up there with the best of the best. Keep it up!
I really love the graphics! But the theme seems a little off.
WOW! What a presentation. Incredibly stylish, nice music, nice sounds, really well done animations.
Excellent Art!!! Just wow. One suggestion would be to have some more sounds in the fights. And maybe a little bigger ui (also in the fights). Other than that, great job!
Great Concept. The training was irritating at first, but kept on getting better and better (kind of addicting). The fighting was weird though... even after 20 skillpoints i couldnt beat the first fight. The enemy kept refreshing bar after bar ^^'
Thanks for the feedback guys. Regarding the input problems, there was indeed a little bug which would keep you from pumping as fast as you want. Some inputs were dropped. Now all should be fixed.
@nurk Yeah it's a little tough at first, i had a hard time balancing the difficulty so it's challenging yet doable. I hope that you at least had a fun time :)
@wolfier Thanks for your feedback. There is a perfect pump feedback. But i guess it's way too subtle. I may have messed up there a little. If you pump perfectly, the heart gets 20% bigger then normal, the bubbles around the heart burst out more violently and the adrenaline meter gets filled. But I guess if you don't know how the feedback looks, you won't notice it... Also you are right about the miss clicks. The balancing is a little bit off, although it's still doable. But admittedly as it is, it needs a little too much precision. Our number one priority was to present the concept as good as possible.
Thanks for your honest feedback! I will try to incorporate more noticeable feedback next time.
@igor-kingamer Thank you very much for your comment. It makes us happy to hear that you liked our concept!
@ordineu the how to play option on the mainenu explains everything :) Also it's no problem to stress your heart a little. If you look closely you will notice that your stress meter fills backup exponentially. So you could just pump pretty quickly just before running out of stress and take a short rest afterwards. Your stress meter will be back up in no time. But yeah, I should have made the perfect pump more noticeable, even without reading the how to play section.
Thanks for your feedback :)
@javasaurus Thanks for your feedback. It would have been nice to have a feedback about when to press which button. Totally didn't think about that :|
@igor-kingamer congratulations! :) It makes us happy to see that someone managed to finish our game. Well done!
It's perfect. Nothing more to say. Simply 5/5 well done.
Incredibly moody game. Nice interpretation of the theme. Also the crows made me chuckle a little :)
It would have been a 5/5 but it's kind of irritating that you cant interact with things when people are talking... at least the timer should stop and wait for people to finish. You probably have considered this while setting up the time limits, but it still feels irritating to me.
Soooo its just basically triple triad? But its a good one at that, technically speaking. Snappy gameplay, nice presentation.
As the others said, the presentation is just unbelievable! The problem is the gameplay itself. The Arrow seems not pointing towards the target. Instead it seems to show how far you have to turn to face the target. This results in players not finding the target. Even if you are directly to the right of the target, the arrow won't point to the target. If you exactly follow the arrow in this situation, you will perfectly fly around the target in a circle. Theme, Graphics, Audio, Mood everything is near perfect. The gameplayloop itself... not so much.
First of all, i just clicked on your game because i saw a realistic looking heart. We kind of had a simialar idea here, but interpreted differently :) Needles to say, that i love your use of the theme. Good hob on that. Besides that, i felt a little lost at the beginning. The game needs a few more animations so the player can get some feedback on his/her actions. Also any kind of sound would have been really nice.
Oh man! What a bummer. This game is polished beyond belief! The graphics are simple yet effective, the effects are conveying nice feedback to the player, the gameplay loop is incredibly fun. But its sooo short... 1 to 2 Units and some enemy variety would have been great. Also please, keep the retry times short. It's a little frustrating to go through the same dialoge just to try again.
I would have loved to keep on playing, if it would have been longer :)
Well crafted little arcade game. The graphics are really nice. Love your use of shaders!. The only thing i would have liked, is a better feedback when hitting enemies. Overall one of the better games so far :)
This is the best crafted and designed game up until now. Those sprites.... i just love the looks of your game. The only problem, as the others already said, is the beginning. It's just dragging on and teasing the player. It's dragging on so much, that i even though that i would have missed some controlls. But no, i just had to wait patiently for the enemies to arrive. Still the best game so far, by a mile!
The graphics are simply amazing. The lightning, the sprites everything is top notch. Sadly the physics feel reeeeaaally sluggish. Still, the presentation deserves credit.
@dubdisk The jumping has some nice weight now. I still have a tiny little nitpick... after landing there is a noticeable sliding going on. But yeah, it feels way better now, i will adjust my rating accordingly :)
Really cute game ;)
I guess you either didn't finish, or forgot to post a download link ^^'
