So sorry guys, I had a problem at the end of the compo while publishing and wasn't able to complete it. I've added a link to the game page so it should work now. Btw, I love the comments! I had a good laugh while reading some of them. :)
@fabdynamic Thanks for your comment! If the game gets slower as you play, that's definitely not a feature I intended to include. I'm not sure atm what could be causing that but I'll take a look at the code and try to sort it out. Anyway, I've included a link to the Github repo so you can check it out.
@fabdynamic It's no problem! This was one of the few things I forgot to do after the compo ended so I appreciate the reminder.
As for the ball issue, it is driven by RigidBody2D physics, and I'm not entirely sure if the ball loses speed by itself over time or if it loses speed after each collision, or bounce. My guess atm is that it probably has to do with one of the ball's physical properties (mass, weight, etc.) or that it's a RigidBody2D object. Whatever the case, I've updated the game by reducing the ball mass and increasing the block mass and this seems to help. It's not a perfect solution but it seems to be quite a bit better now. I've also commented out the code that checks if the ball is going too fast since it doesn't seem to be necessary, at least for right now.
Also I've updated the Github README file so if you take a look it will show a few items I plan to implement in the game over time.
Thanks you, @geckoo1337. I am always appreciative of constructive feedback! This wasn't my first LD session, but it was my first one using Godot so I'm still pretty new to using it. Each LD is a learning session for me, as well for many others I can imagine so I'll be sure to incorporate what you said into my next game in 2 weeks.
Overall it felt very polished and everything worked very well! Gameplay mechanics were easy to understand and I really felt in charge of tackling the UN climate change project. I did have a similar experience as @pennycook, though, where I felt like I was constantly fighting forest fires with seawater and burning the meter long ticks with fire so I felt it could use better variety in that area. But overall I really enjoyed this. Great job!
Well done on your first attempt! I'm not sure if this was the secret or not, but when I was writing on the piece of paper in the second bedroom I noticed it overflows after the end of the page. Shortly after that the house disappeared and all I saw was the stars and space, so I think I lost. :)
Although I didn't know how to keep my happiness level up or what purpose the Llamas served, it was fun! Gameplay was fairly minimal albeit confusing as to what I needed to do to stay alive, but the graphics and audio were nice and soothing, and everything fit the theme very well. Would love to see more of this!
This was fun! I played it at least 5 times just trying to beat my old time. I liked how easy the gameplay was to figure out and how the WASD keys are the only controls in the game. Very nice job!
The room never actually seemed that bad. I'm joking, but I really enjoyed playing this! The graphics were great, the sound was superb, and the controls made sense and were easy to understand, although playing this with a touchpad was a little challenging. Great job!
