Good submission ! congrats for the game.
Good light, we work also with shader and we have also a lot of issue with ligthing in webgl. Congrats to the team
Good Game, the concept is very good even if more feature will allow to vary the gameplay. The controls are easy to understand and the graphics are effective. Congratulations to the team
Very Good game!!! it's difficult to undestand all the things on screen but the retro mood and art are fantastic !!!
Good concept :) very fun to play ! Great entry!
Cool Game, cool Art direction is on point.
I didn't manage to play with the controller in WebGl on itchio, the atmosphere remains cool, however I don't think I really understood how to play
The game is great, but the grind got the better of me. I didn't have the patience to finish the game, The art of the game is really cool, I love the retro side, the green of the screen and the square format.
Good game, the concept it's very cool, Congrats.
GG la team, le jeu est trĂšs bien mais il manque de feedback, savoir le nombre de jours restant avant la fin de l'Ă©tĂ© ou de l'hiver, ou montrer clairement l'objectif au joueur au dĂ©but. La DA est efficace et je n'ai pas vu de bug ;) Par contre je suis restĂ© bloquĂ© Ă la fin au niveau des montagnes, c'est trĂšs frustrant pour le joueur d'avoir 1000 dolls et d'ĂȘtre bloquĂ© par un champs :P. La mĂ©canique aurait mĂ©ritĂ© un petit tuto pour ĂȘtre bien expliquĂ© je pense. En tout cas c'est du solide. Bravo Ă vous !!! 5 star rating
Thank you for this pure fun experience. the idea is exellent, I really appreciate the fact of cheating with the various objects present in the scene. Congratulations to the team, this game rocks!!! especially the humor of the game. 5 star rating!
@ThunderChief thanks for the reply, we work on this bug, I'm trying to solve the problem while you're playing ;)
@bobbo thanks a lot for the rating, the button at the end didn't work, becaus we not have time to cable it ( crap fix it, just remove it, pass by the main menu to change the level )
@Tayteus Thank you for this review, I work in a small studio in the north of France and I work a lot on shaders. My challenge for this Jam was above all to make an Art Direction based largely on shaders, (notably a hatching shader, and instantiating gpu for the wheat fields) I also worked on the procedural animation of the enemies , and I also use shaders to deform the mesh in real time for the tentacles (at the beginning of the jam, we had thought about a grab mechanic where the aliens stretched out their tentacles to grab gameplay elements (scarecrow, second player , etc ..), but unfortunately we did not have time to realize it) Your review, at least gives me the feeling of having achieved this goal. thank you
@yorsh I added more detail in the changelogs to better understand when we did them.
I left the windows builds done during the jam, if you want to see the difference.
Thank you for your feedback, your game is excellent too ;)
I would like to change the mapping to improve the game experience, but I'm not sure if it's a fix or a gameplay change. We could not see the problem because the webgl build was done after the end of the JAM due to compatibility problems with our shaders.
However, I think I will do it in all cases after the JAM for a better experience for future players :)
@reivilibre, I do 99% on first stage, it's possible ;). The algorithm used to compute score is very simple. It's just image comparaison. We compare image draw on the field by the player to the reference image ( image shown on start of the level) if player draw pixel like in the ref image, we increments the score. But if player draw pixel not in the ref image we subtract 0.3 to the score. Finally we divide by the number of white pixel in the ref image and multiply by 100 (we also multiply by two, because it's very difficult otherwise). So a little tips to succeed, try to color all the pixel present in the ref image, it's more important than bad drawing pixels for the score ;) also the game is designed for gamepad first, it's more easier to draw circle with joystick than with WASD. Good luck to you to pass your crop circle license.
@LookLeftStudio , we realized the field shader during this jam. It would have been hard to predict that before the start of the jam. we start by drawing in a render texture the movement vector of the aliens. then we use another shader to display the field with gpu instancing. and simply crop them flattened according to the previous texture. for fun, I'm working on the shader, to really bend the ears of wheat. I will surely post an update after the jam
@kikiriki367, thks for the review. I'm sorry that it's hard for you to play. we do have a downloadable version. the link was already available on the ludumdare page. I recommend the latest version (a lot of fixes to make the game better) We are aware that on small configs, the game can be difficult to run, this is particularly due to the volumetric fog shader. it's hard to optimize everything during a 72h jam :P. We will surely update the game with an improved version. it will be possible to deactivate certain shader in the options. do not hesitate to re-test at this time if the Windows version is also slow on your machine.
The Game is cool, but it's very difficult to turn, and IA turn instantly, that is cheating !!! Impressive for one man game, Congrats
Excellent game, the humor is really incredible. I loved the intro at the beginning in comic mode, it made me think of a French comic called Mutafukaz, There is a really cool animated film for your information. The game is very well thought out, and the gameplay mechanics work very well, the character animations are very fluid and fit well with the theme of the game. I just find the difference in outline between the background of the game and the characters a pity. In any case, it's really an incredible game, and the work to achieve in three days is really substantial, especially in animation. Having made the choice of procedural animation for our game, precisely to avoid all this work, which people do not always see. Congratulations.
This game is really fun and innovative. I really like the gameplay, and the reward when you finish a demon burger is very enjoyable (I would have seen more blood, but it wouldn't have been for everyone). It's funny to see everyone's interpretation of the theme, we made a somewhat similar game, even if in the end, the games are very different, so don't hesitate to have a look if you have time. Well done to the team for bringing out a little golden nugget like this.
good game ! the concept is very cool. like to play spirit, it's really a good idea. maybe you can adapt control to mobile just add button for skip dialog and I think it's will be playable :)
I don't really see the connection with the theme, but the game works well. It reminds me a little of certain passages in guacamelee. The concept could be developed a little further, with other implications between world changes, for example. But I had a cool time playing it.
This game works very well, I had a good time on it, but the concept remains similar to many games posted during this jam, it is however a very good idea to offer several difficulties at the start and the pixel art graphics are really successful. This is one of the best versions of Vampire Survivors I've seen this year.
Congratulations to the whole team
Hello,The game is quite pleasant to play and works well, just some camera problems in the tent at the beginning, and on the jump for the fountain. The mood of the game works, and the voicing is really the game's strong point. As for moving, if you press shift before running, the animation doesn't start, but that's not really a problem, and quite normal for a Jam game ;) The music is a little redundant, though, and crossing ends up being a bit of a pain (but maybe that's just me).
Gameplay-wise, I find it a little lacking in exploration interaction, given the size of the environment. But it all works, and the visual indicators help a lot. Well done to the team.
Superbe jeu, j'aime la simplicité du gameplay, qui permet beaucoup de stratégies différentes. Bravo à toi ;)
@tessKallet, Thanks for your support, it was a big risk for us to choose a type of game with so many interactions. Even if it's not perfect, we're very happy with the result. And seeing everyone so enthusiastic has got us thinking about making it a real game.
