This was very endearing, I'll admit I found it annoying that the hamster is hidden behind the first set of instructions (I had to read the comments to figure that out), and the instructions made it sound as though you were meant to tap and not hold the mouse, but the game is nice. I hope it gets some more attention soon!
I also liked the OST selection and the little backstories provided. This feels very personal as a game.
Not a huge fan of the stuff the meme generator spat out, but I think the game's concept is real neat!
I clicky, I clicky.
This is amazing, I have almost nothing to say yo!
I kinda wish there were more to this game, the visuals caught my eye but playing it I found it hard to tell how it related to the theme of the jam. I should also say that you might want to increase the speed on the Quaternion.Slerp for the dog's rotation when walking, and I'm not sure but the barking animation seems to loop briefly before returning to the walk/idle animation? Either way, I can see the visual talents in the game.
I like the idea a great deal, though I'll admit I'm no good at chess games! I will admit I'm not sure what's going on with the graphics, a lot of it seems blurry and pixelated, which takes away from the overall feel a bit. Also there seems to be some typos in the text, but it's perfectly fine.
The game seems to crash instantly on windows, and the webGL version seems to stop the second you try to play it. What a shame! I was really curious to see what this was about, especially with the strange little man you play as. More games need sack characters, this is a scientific fact.
Cute! I thought the smooth visuals flowed real well. Wish there was more to play! I will admit I found the co-op feature to seem a bit unnecessary, seeing as the controls with the mouse are the biggest focus (and where the challenge comes in most when trying to collect on one side and dodge with the other). Either way, good game!
Interesting idea, here's my feedback:
1). I feel like the minigame where you enter text is a bit tedious because everytime you hit enter it stops focusing on the input box and you're forced to click again before you continue typing.
2). I noticed in the lower room with the generator that the wire minigame acts a bit fiddly, I noticed that I couldn't select it after a bit and I kept getting input minigames on-screen.
Nice work
@bentekiller We appreciate the feedback! Sorry the weedkiller thing wasn't too clear, the help screen and the PDA mention that the weedkiller deposits can be harvested using the pump tool. The switching can also be done using the number keys as well as the scroll wheel. Thank you for the feedback!
@bigtinygames Sorry the game was too challenging! We were pressed for time when the jam came towards the end, so playtesting was a bit tough.
@evert Thanks for letting us know evert, unfortunately our tests with mac were successful so we're not certain what's going on with your computer. Unity did take out some of the mac building options though, so it's possible we might not be able to build a version for you that will work without regressing our version of unity back, and it won't be possible in time. We really do apologize!
@gord10ahmet Sorry the game doesn't run sir! The version of unity we use doesn't fully support Windows 7 anymore, but does work correctly on windows 10. It's also possible your issues may stem from your graphics card not being supported, but this will require further research.
@pisito Thank you!
@notredamstra We're really happy you enjoyed the atmosphere! It definitely needed a good deal of tweaking while we were developing the game.
@linx Thank you so much for the feedback! Sorry the game is kinda difficult to get into, we thought the help screen and PDA would help, but what this game really needed was a proper tutorial. Maybe if we expand on this sometime we'll add one!
This is great! Make sure to add a link to your ludum dare page on your itch.io, I found you through there and had to go on a wild goose chase to get to this page here!
