Neat concept had a great time figuring out the game and learning. And I had an idea had while playing to make moving around the map faster would be the wraiths extending the life of your torch as well. Stops the needs to travel back to safe areas.
@hitchh1k3r I knew about the sticks I figured that one out. I was just suggesting a different mechanic because i felt like I was going back to the fire often so i had enough time. Also the sticks are one time use. which means if I use it back up and use a fire its just gone.
Seems like a very dark story at first. Very interesting concept wish there was more story/dialogue to go with it. Voice acting could really bring this to life. Once I got to the second to last picture with the crank camera I could not find the perfect settings. Unsure what the crank and the toggle switch on the back do.
Very cool concept could do well with sudo randomness to give a more catered too story. Its currently a little abstract. Missed the win condition at first so I ended up losing the case, but will try again soon.
Wish there was some sounds and full screen on the webGL build
wish the controls were different would be very fun to play
Very cool mechanic. I had a tough time after the intro levels and didn't finish.
Very nice job for a jam timeframe. Could use some balancing allowing more than 2 hammers to repair the hull make it so I ended the boss right with full health.
Great stuff. The sound is great and I love the boss rush feel. Animations are very cool and the ending was surprising and lovely.
intro - very cool.
Love the "PS1" fish and submarine with pixel/shaded graphics. Wish the pacing was a little more active. And adding in better continuity on the UI/Graphics would make this a cool collection game.
Very interesting game. Love the concept. I wish I could understand a little more of the dialogue. Love the piano music without other SFX to muddy it. Voice work could be clearner next time. The line art really fits the style of game ( Makes me think diary of a whimpy kid).
The menu screen looked awesome. The footsteps were so loud it took me out of the game. (They do not seem to be connected with a slider in the options) The enemy SFX and movement were a little more funny than scary as well.
time as health is a cool idea, but man i could not get it below 4:50
Nice concept, but I think you need some updates to make this more playable. Seems to be issues with Mushrooms coming at the player to the point where I could just walk to the ending. Also mushrooms floating in the air, and some weird gray geometry I could walk through without realizing at first. This is a very odd movement system for a player. I would love to see you invent a system where this makes more sense, I could really see it as a mine cart controller if you up the speed a bit.
Would love to see more content to play for longer. Great art and mood, would love to get some music and mixing added in.
Wish I could see my score between runs, to see if im getting better. A little hard to calc quickly. Unusure of the balance as I could get to the bottom fairly fast digging straight down.(Rainimg blocks at the start might help with this initially.) ADD SOME PICTURES YOU HAVE GREAT ART!
unsure how to move forward from the starting area....
I really enjoyed the enemy animations and level design. Love the concept but could do with a bit more polish on animation timing, audio mixing. I really enjoyed fearfully running down the halls with no weapons until I managed to find one. Controls/ movements are a little tough, so possibly some remapping could be useful.
Sort of confused by the story and what's happening. The text is also very hard to read as it gets slowly added to the screen because it keeps shifting line widths. I feel like my game also just randomly restarted after a few min.
Feels really good on the pinball. The paddles might be too strong though. Hard to win! nice job.
Space to restart would make this game addictive. Some of the color combinations with the backgrounds are hard to see.
Neat take on this. Unsure if there is a "win" condition?
@Shess Makes sense. I played through twice but maybe picked the wrong option then. Thanks!
The word choices weren't the best imo. Some weren't words "hara" and some were.... questionable words... Not sure if this is common for typing games, but pressing the wrong letter isn't a problem here.
Got to 419! Great stuff. Movement feels great.
Nice job. Very hard to see the doorways at first. Got to floor 6.
Great Art. The controls could be be changed to help. WASD with ZX could be Q and E to make the game more fluid or use mouse buttons to hold instead. Teleporters seemed a little pointless with the welding craft being very fast.
Neat theme for the bar balancing, love the art and music and the programming/movement and interactions feel good.
Neat idea. I feel like I lasted a fairly long while, but it def gets too much at some point. Nice job!
@aarimous Hmm I feel like I got to around there...
@nate954 Great suggestion. Seems like a pretty easy implementation for me. Will add it in the future! thanks for playing
@simba Thanks! Yea I considered making that change late in the day Monday, but just didnt have enough time. My roundabout reasoning for it now, is that you want them to die so minus days is the "positive"....we will go with that....
@toc curious what round you got to? Did you feel like the game was too easy? It does start to ramp up fairly fast around round 8-14.
@nate954 your submission is in the game now!
@nekusoul @baconeta @emaigualmc2-art @nick-saulnier @ausstein Thanks so much for playing and the kind words!
@toc fair enough. i guess we could add like a pause or button to start the round. That might have been a good place to add the like "boss talking to you lines" in-between rounds.
@okamit !!! I remember black out from last year! Will go play your game now! Thanks for the kind words!
@charq Adding the twitch link with the time stamp... NICE TOUCH. I will def be watching this soon.
Great game! Love the wario-ware-esk feel. My only real suggestion would be some of the games dont end when you are "done". For example the egg game lasted through the entire timer even though at the earlier levels i have gotten all the eggs. Also sometimes the eggs are pre spawned and i barely have enough time to catch them.
Neat premise. Ramps a little too fast to even understand what is going on completely. Matches the theme perfectly.
nice art and music. Seems a little too easy with just choosing the boost options Maybe adding a rocks paper scissors element to it would add some complexity?
Fun game!
The ramp up to challenging is a little slow and I feel like I could laze about for a while.
Does it ramp up off purchased upgrades? or time? I couldnt exactly tell, but didnt try to test it out much.
Ended up lasting about 5 min.
It was a fun event when i happened to shoot a treasure chest and it got lobbed into the air. Nice touch here.
Great job! I really enjoy the aesthetic.
Love the collectables and feel of combat.
I wish the platforming was a drop more fluid. For instance the float at the end of the dash feel like it slows the whole game down. Also the recoil from being hit seems fairly long. If the projectile from the purple enemy hits me I barely have enough time to get back to him before he is firing again. Not a huge deal if you dodge the strike but i think the timing could be better.
Love the collectables aspect and the level design. (Though there was an empty island? Feel like it was just there to catch you if you fell from above)
Surprisingly HARD!
Got 97! Keep Missing ONE! Great job cute relaxing game.
Sorry you didn't have time to finish!
Would love to see a few things in the future. Better flow - Its almost hard to find the enemies. I was not expecting to have to go "backwards" to find them Hitboxes - It felt like the sword didnt really hit the small spiders well. And essentially made me get hit more often than not. Village/Fires - Do these do anything? End Goal - Currently seem like the spiders just spawn forever. I maybe killed about 20 of them before I just let them overrun me. Mood- I think music and SFX would really help the mood here.
Neat Idea. Won in about 4min. The button mashing is a bit much maybe. I wish there were maybe other mechanics like some games do with fishing mini games. I think some logic to make sure I'm not hitting other buttons would help. Meaning i can hit all 4 of the arrow keys and be right.
Things are Def a bit iffy on the LD Site. The Itch one is a little more stable :)
** EDIT Just pushed a fix! **
-- @100th-coin "If the enemies are to your left it’s incredibly annoying, and in some cases near impossible to ‘harvest’ them without taking damage." The "wind up" on your hit actually has a hit box. So you can hit behind you :)
And the hitbox is a little smaller than your heart on the player sprite. (The tip at the controls screen does mention it :P)
@elgin-ciani Thanks so much for the feedback. Very constructive. The goal was def to make the attack more clear. (Thats coming in the future for now) The other two we didn't think of in time but will add as well! Thanks
@bthedestroyer Thanks for playing. Unsure what you mean by dashing. The attack only speeds up your player slightly so you should be able to control where you want to go :)
@simeon-radivoev Just the heart is your hit box :)
Neat idea. Maybe I didn't understand it but the block breaker section did not always seem possible to not lose points.
Neat idea, but it gets a little repetitive. Also I found it a bit odd that the people don't have any reaction to me pulling out my tranquilizer gun. Neat Idea for the harvest theme, others thought of organ harvesting but this is a neat way of handling that.
Very neat game. Played once and got to 85 orders. I think if it was still adding new items i would've lost sooner.
The garden seems a little too quick to me potentially. If i could see my plants more easily it might make it viable to make the grow time slower.
