LD42 — Running out of space

Brain's little symbiont by Local Minimum 2018-08-14T21:30:39Z

The game is really nice but I don't think it goes with the theme. You should also work with the gameplay, it's pretty funny but it lacks things to do. Anyway I love the graphics (did you inspire in VVVVVV?) and I think this could lead to something pretty neat. Overall I had a lot of fun with it.

Very good! It's a pity it's not playable from the browser, I think it would receive many more reviews. Windows will warn about dangerous software when you execute the game and most of us will understand why, but more than anyone we know what untrusted software can do. Building it to web would eliminate that; most engines will do the build automatically and you can host it on github pages for free.

About the game, it's very fun. Runs smoothly, has nice graphics, I'm a bit envious honestly, healthy envious ;)

I loved the humor! It's very fun. The gameplay has room for improvement but it's quite fun overall.

Hey I see you did your game with Unity. Consider building to WebGL next time: it's easy to host for free with github pages or similar and will make the game much more accessible.

Other than that, I have no suggestions. The gameplay and graphics are very nice and I had a lot of fun playing it :)

Edit: Also, I see that it won't allow me to vote you for humor although I found the Player 2 ascension quite funny. Maybe you should think to apply for it next time.

It looks like it was heading in the right direction. Keep the good work, it's easy to get lost in technicalities and happens to everybody.

Really nice graphics and gameplay. The explosions are amazing. It's a pity that you didn't put sound it would improve a lot.

Darkest Shade Of Night by Bartosz 2018-08-14T22:21:49Z

Very nice game. Graphics and physics are awesome. Consider building to webgl in the future to make it more accessible.

Ramboom by Holy 2018-08-14T22:46:51Z

Very nice, the graphics are really cool and gameplay is pretty polished. Good job!

The Junk's Games by Paulo Augusto 2018-08-14T22:57:28Z

¡The graphics are really amazing! And you definitely did get on the spot with the theme of the Ludum Dare, but the gameplay turns really hard after the first second :sweat_smile: I may be doing something wrong but looks like the game runs out of space too fast.

SnowOut! by DanielBarca 2018-08-14T20:24:23Z

Thank you everybody. We would have liked to make the gameplay more clear. The right-click to reload mechanic is pretty hard to guess without reading the instructions.

SnowOut! by DanielBarca 2018-08-14T21:45:22Z

Haha thank you @cresceda I take your comments as extra feedback :sweat_smile:. I agree with what you say, maybe next time!

SnowOut! by DanielBarca 2018-08-15T19:46:58Z

Thank you everybody! Your feedback is very much appreciated ;)

@raccoon-js Unity's webgl builds can be pretty expensive to run, you can try running the native Windows version. It will prompt a pretty ugly security warning but it's safe to run. That said the game is not really much optimised :shrug:

I didn't feel camera rotation so bad although a bit confusing the first couple plays. Maybe you could lerp it a little next time so it turns a bit smooth yet fast. Maybe even pause the gameplay for an instant while rotating the camera would also give the player time to think. I'm not sure if it would go well but I'd experiment a bit with that. I'd also have put the story as an introduction before the game start instead of a separate menu item. The game is pretty addictive and fun, nice gameplay. The theme is taken with a grain of salt but I guess It's ok, the character is running after all.
