We had fun with my brother in law. Thank you! :) Great gameplay and graphics. Keep up the great work! ;)
Music is so thematic, I love it! Graphics are great too and I love this kind of gameplay. As someone pointed out, checkpoints would be great. I admire that you made your engine too. Keep going! ;)
Great game because it's immersive and I always tried to save everyone but I couldn't :(. The narrator is badass and sound overall is one of the best. Congratulations to whole team and keep it up! :) btw the animated cloak is just awesome...
Player movement felt not enough responsive for my taste but I liked the concept of losing health when throwing balls. Throwing felt natural and was fun. I love that you have different enemy types in your game :) Keep up the great work!
I love the graphics! Cuties battling each other is awesome idea and sound was well made too. The controls was harder to learn because clicking on single unit while it is running was hard. But overall is great and AI was actually pretty smart. Keep it up guys! :)
Oh man, this game is so great, I love it! :) One of the best I've played so far. The following mechanic + checkpoints is awesome, music is great, obstacles are challenging but not impossible. Good job! You also nailed the theme. One thing that is worse (but still good) is graphics...I like more complex graphics. Anyway really great job and keep it up! I just remembered that I got stuck 2 times and couldn't do anything, but I don't know how to reproduce this.
Graphics are awesome, I love this style. Gameplay is also fun, but after we killed all wolfes, nothing happened :D. Also some wolves were kind of stuck and running in one place for a while. Nevertheless great game and keep up the good work :)
I think the best thing about your game is the customization menu, so many cool options :). I like the simplicity of the game but it was sometimes hard to hit other player. One thing I miss is map shrinking after some time or some kind of anti stall mechanic. Anyway we liked it and keep it up! :)
Music was awesome and sound effects like "Oh shit" really made it special. I think the original idea of pushing others into volcano was good but it kind of lacks depth. Keep up the work! ;)
I really like the idea of sacrificing "life" for your career. One thing that you should improve is having more texts for different events to avoid looping them. Music was nice and moody. It felt like I don't have a big control over my options tho. Good submission anyway and keep it up! :)
Oh boy, this is so good for a compo game. Graphics and overall look is so great. Idea is original, puzzles are challenging but not impossible. I miss some kind of music and sound, it would be perfect with it. One thing that suprised me was that after freezing a golem, the circle reseted. That was a little bit unintuitive. Great game and keep it up! :)
Stunning graphics! I liked the sound effects and music. Overall game feel is awesome and idea is original but it lacks some more depth because I just did not want to play more. Anyway really great submission and keep it up, you are very talented! ;)
Great idea and very original with 2 possible sacrifice benefit + being able to shoot bananas. Interesting puzzle game and it took me a while to finish it. Works great and has no drawback. Good job and keep it up! :)
Awesome game. I loved the animations and sound effects. I hate minecraft graphics but your graphics were more polished and more of a lowpoly instead of minecrafty. Great job and keep it up! :) I spent more time on your game than I was expecting :D
Awesome game with great graphics, sound and background music. Very good mood and overall player experience was great. I disliked the controls, I think it's just better to jump with W or Up Arrow (if arrows are used) instead of space. I wish your game was longer but I know how tight time is for compo. Great submission, keep up the good work!
Technically, this is finished product for me, only more content is needed (but gj for making 13 working lvls in this limited time). Graphics, including animations and sound is top quality. Idea is simple yet effective. Congratulations, one of the best games I've played this LD. I can't really find anything that is bad. Keep up this kind of great work! Cheers :) Interesting comment from @nnikki about using move counter instead of timer, I agree with that.
The card art, mechanical gameplay and story was really great and intuitive, this is the best part of your game. As someone pointed out, when new lines of text appeared, I was confused where the last text ended. Some background music would make the game even better, I kind of missed that. The overall idea and world you created was so awesome and I enjoyed playing. Keep going! :)
I think the game speeds up way too slow. I liked the arcade sound effects and even though it is poor on graphics, shooting things is satisfying as usual ;) I think it does not fit the theme well, but it's always just better to finish something than nothing. Stay motivated and you'll get better! Good job :)
Great submission for your first LD. I liked the sound effects and the retro vibe in your game. Shooting fireballs is fun and I liked that I had to backtrack sometimes to avoid taking dmg. Controls were unintuitive, W for jump and S & D for movement + something like space/ctrl for shooting would be better. Keep up the good work! :)
I love the idea of having guns instead of limbs! That's really awesome feature that makes this so original. I also loved your sound effects and the fact every game is randomized. On the other hand, I think guns are not well balanced, I used almost exclusively shotgun and minigun and I hate that you don't have any kind of tutorial ingame. Anyway, your game is awesome and keep up the great work!
Great game, it is really satisfying to pop balloons. Graphics is great and music really fits the game. Theme idea of sacrificing tries for one round to have more in the next is interesting and original. It was quite hard, I finished on 3rd run. Keep up the great work! :)
Graphics is stunning! I think you were successful because I wondered what happened and what is gonna happen. Very well done, keep up the good work! :)
Cool concept but I find it not fun after a while. It propably takes too long to freeze. Awesome graphics with fire changing. Great submission for ludum dare for sure. Cheers and keep up the great work :)
Hey guys, thanks for your kind words.
@norb Yeah, you can win the game if you fill 4 altars with 2 cows. You just need to find it, it's not so hard :)
@sigton I actually had footsteps of player in it but it just did not feel good, so I removed it. Maybe next time I just need to record better sound for it. Thx
Great game. I loved sound effects "hayahaya", very funny! Sometimes I couldn't move anymore, I don't know why. Interesting idea with followers converting other NPCs. Good job and keep it up! :)
Your idea is unique and very fun! :) It just felt sometimes that I am descending with less passengers than I had on beggining but that may be caused by high altitude? I love that your game has lot of "oops" moments when you accidently kill your passengers and I think it's the reason why it's so good :) Cheers and keep up the great work!
Tune is really nice and I like the concept of throwing dogs :D. Game is quite challenging that I almost gave up but in the end I made it! :) One thing I dislike is the pixel art combined with dog sprites. Anyway, great job man!
I love the art style, animations and the idea of a 1 button mechanic but I must admit it was so hard to time it properly. I feel like the mechanic is backbone of this game and it did not deliver what I expected but don't get me wrong, it is a great polished submission for a compo!
I love the sound effects and the slap mechanic. Very fun game, only thing I would suggest is making the difficulty scale slower but that's just my noob opinion :D
Awesome original game. It took me a while to understand all the mechanics properly but once I got it it started to make sense :) I like how it drills indefinitely if it hits rock.
I think it would be better to polish the game more than making it this long but I enjoyed the different abilities, they were fun. In my opinion pushing the humour did not work as intended. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it and am just nitpicking :)
Very original entry, the waves and jump creates interesting mechanic. I like this overall but I think the difficulty should be lowered a little bit.
Great athmosphere but gets boring pretty quickly
Pretty original idea and theme interpretation :D Though I would welcome some music and sound FX in the background of my beatiful voice lol...
The controls definitely needs improvement, the game is too hard but I think the air concept and upgrades are very fun! The visuals are also really polished.
Awesome visuals and atmosphere. Very original idea, this is by far best game I played. I like that it's a little bit creepy
I love the music :) also the effect of going into next level and then vice versa was pretty cool.
I did not understand what to do but transitioning deeper (further?) was nice. The controls felt too slidy but the visuals were pleasant.
I think that music and maybe some sound effects would really made this a lot better. Interesting fun idea and it would be better to add 2 keys for 1 dodge down and 2 jump over to be more interactive
I wish the instructions were more clear although I managed to get to level 2. I like how the sound changes when your are moving something.
Wow, I like the narrative idea and execution. You are very talented, the music is very professional and the game is very polished. I would like to see more bonuses generated on the way, there were just a few. Very funny and the end game animation is awesome :D
I like the art style and swimming feels good with the sound effect. I wish there was some chill music in the background and it would be a good idea if the bad fish was moving, this was way too easy :)
The sound effects of bubble and hook are awesome. I also like the overall visual style and models. Gj!
I really liked the neon style of the game, it felt like Tron. I like how you tackled the drift mode and I ust wished it has some cool visual effect. Solid game for compo and the level design was sometimes pretty rough for player but the last level was awesome!
@omid-ghavami You are totally right with the physics, I did not have much time to make it work smoother and I feel like it's bad if you can't finish a level because of mechanic skill instead of puzzle solving. I'm glad you liked it
I like that you have different enemy types and the puzzle aspect of getting the treasure
I usually don't like Noah's art style, but this game is so awesome. Top quality voice acting, visuals and the charge mechanic feels so good. Such a polished game! Probably my favorite so far. The camera zoom does a great job for the atmosphere.
I really like the visuals and the overall atmosphere of the game. I felt lost in the dungeon the whole time and it really has this trapped in the maze vibe. Gj!
I like the bomb visuals how they start to glow red. It's entertaining to kick the bomb into the holes. Very polished game.
I like the sound of cars when you enter the mysterious forest! Interesting idea and I like it overall, especially the red/blue pill reference.
I really like the visuals and that you managed to make such a details (rider looking in move direction), broken glass etc. The atmosphere is great and all the sound fx and music complement the experience. Great job! I did not manage to get back tho :D the corridors were maybe too much narrow.
I really liked the music and the overall feel of the game. Is the score just random from items you catch or you get more if you are faster?
Very funny cute little game you got there :D I was laughing when I was failing to click on the bug! I love the music and sound effects
Awesome, I like the minigames, though I always fail the kidney fill. A lot of work done in such a short time! I also like the voice over intro.
Wow, this was awesome! I love these stress game jam games, you managed to combie the fun sound and idea with pretty intensive gameplay. Love it!
Interesting take on the theme! :D It took me a while to figure out what I should write, but then it was clear and became long night ;)
I like the background music and it feels good to get so deep!
I like the submarine model and the idea of diving deeper and deeper. The explosion effect was good too. I would love to have some quiet background music nad possibly some heal mechanic. I made it to 650m! :)
For a first game jam very well done! I like the music and the idea is interesting too. I would suggest making it easier because it was very hard to navigate through the floating balls :D Also I would like to get the camera from bigger distance to see what's where more clearly
Sadly it crashes too often :( but I like the dududu cmon music
I felt like there was too much text in the cut scenes but I welcome the skip button even though I have not used it. Very nice polished graphics. The concept is very fun and original! The controls of movement and fighting could be a little bit smoother somehow but overall a great submission.
Visuals are awesome but I don'think the music fits the game. Also how many levels are there? I made it to 24 until it got boring :D
