HOW! How did you make this for the team, this is absolutely fantastic, feels like a full game, I literally have nothing bad to say about it except maybe a volume slider would be nice! An amazing range of topics to go for, cards that felt fair to use, everything was great (Anime and Manga was my best topic haha) The animations of the quiz master were so nice as well! :smile:
Amazing work to you all!
Cool idea and a great take on the theme, nice work :)
I felt very on edge but that's definitely what you want from this kinda game, the actual mechanic of dragging yourself around was genius I loved it. The little audio was really nice too, it just fit the theme perfectly.
My one thing was perhaps that opening the inventory whilst having an infected person come after you could've been more forgiving, maybe by slowing time when the inventory is open? Either way a fantastic entry
What a cute werm. I loved it! Really cool idea for a game, but it makes me wonder, are you okay? Need to talk? need a hug?
What a fun game! Honestly the humour was perfect, the graphics were really nice and it was such a cool idea! A very good amount of rage (Except for that last level, I hate it xD )
Such a fun game, the little voices lines between the characters was good and the puzzles were fun and made you think! I did find that sometimes Dee's E key wouldn't always work, but J did! Also I didn't catch the pun on their names until much later, I am ashamed. Great work!
The graphics looked great and the Kraken was great too! One thing I'd suggest is maybe the more damage you take the more tentacles you lose? :D Great work overall
Catchy music, cute graphics, fun combat, fun everything. Absolutely loved the game! Maybe I didn't get deep enough but perhaps different enemy types would be nice to see as well!
Super polished and juicy! Which is just what I would expect from you! :D Not sure if it was just me but wow I found it difficult I need to up my skills as a gamer, I'd say perhaps making the bursts a bit less powerful would make it more forgiving when near enemies and the red terrain, or even offering that as an option for people.
Great work overall! :D
Honestly what an experience, the game felt amazing as the juice was just fantastic! Had a lot of fun just launching myself out of the water at the start. And it was an emotional experience.
Not sure if there are different endings but think it would've been nice to show a tracker of them (if there are) Amazing work to the whole team, the voice acting was especially brilliant
Great art style, cute sounds (Seriously the shooting sound was adorable!) And the mood of the whole game was spot on, amazing work!
The only issue I had was that health would look it's resetting when I went deeper but when I took damage I was still on my health from the previous level!
My other suggestion would be make the enemies appear more! They were creepy and cool but I tended to just avoid them!
Nice work overall! :D
Awww such a cute game! I loved the graphics and audio with it :D I didn't know at first what I was meant to do as the rock platforms were quite hard to see, but once I realised it was great!
What a cute art style! I love how the models look, and it feels very relaxing! :D One thing I really like is that refuelling doesn't cost, too many games do that and it just creates a boring loop of "ah do I buy more fuel or upgrades"
Two things I thought though is, getting money seemed like it took a while and also the probes actually using them felt tedious as you have to wait till the lever comes up before they are usable.
Really great entry :D
What a silly but fantastic idea! A great take on the theme! I'd only say maybe make the collision of the sword a bit friendlier as some corners were a bit finicky !
Ha! That's a great take on theme nice work!
I will say that the liver level probably should have had the enemies spawning more frequently and moving faster to make them more challenging. The jumping level was great! I loved using the falling debris as a platform. Nice work :)
Really nice, the art style on the game was perfect and felt very nostalgic! :D -My only query was that maybe more health could've been given when you get to next level!
Really nice game, the mood fit the graphics perfectly Was a lot of fun to stand in a group of slimes and just swing and hit loads at once! Nice work :)
Now that was creepy, and what an ending. The audio really made the game! Nice work!
This game was really quite addictive especially when you can hold the left mouse button it just gets so fun! Really nice work on it!
Something I was questioning though was moving the drill, it's fun to have to mine blocks to get it to move left and right but sometimes a bit tedious and could've done with an upgrade maybe to allow the player to use arrow keys? Either way brilliant work! :D
A lot of fun! Found it very satisfying to just slash everything in my path muahaha! The style of the game look really nice, though it did make signs somewhat hard to read but not really an issue! The main thing I found was that the jumping could sometimes be unforgiving especially when moving, getting near the edge of a platform and jumping I found sometimes the jump wouldn't register and I'd plummet to my death! So maybe a more forgiving jump radius!
The art for the game and the audio is lovely! Especially the sound that occurs when you whispering to the plants it was way too cute! Amazing work! :D
A lot of fun! I loved the art style of the game and the whole idea of it! One thing I did realise is that I basically ignored the task list as the relevant organs would glow so I already knew which to use!
A really fun entry!
You created such a nice atmosphere for the game and the music was lovely, the graphics were lovely and just everything about it was really lovely! :D
My only issue was that a lot of the game for me was spent just looking for things that I couldn't find, maybe having a list of things to make to start off would make the first part of the game more helpful as a longer tutorial almost!
The game looked really nice and played really nice too! So great work! :D The only thing I could say is that sometimes it wouldn't rotate straight away when you clicked the key to make it move, but that's my only issue!
@the-martijn Thank you so much for the kind words it really means a lot! We were quite proud of the customisation hehe! Feel free to share your dwarfy creation with us on Twitter!
That's fair point and could've been explained more for sure, basically you miss nothing by not selling/selling, though the prices may differ on the floor you are :wink: We did have some plans to enhance the shop but the 72 hours wasn't enough time for it! Maybe in a post jam update! Yeah we realised that needed some work! Thanks again! :sparkles:
@head-tilt-games Thank you for the kind words, customisation just felt so right to add! - Yeah we did notice some movement issues so hopefully on a future release that can be fixed! :D
Thanks so much for the kind words!
@jaoel Thank you so much for the kind words! Funnily enough that was a game we were inspired by (and if it's not it should be for sure!)
Hopefully movement is something we can fix post jam! - We will check that out! :D Thank you for the recommendation!
I was doing that the entire testing process! :D
@moski Thank you honestly for such a lovely and heartwarming comment (and for sharing a picture! Your Dwarf is styling :sunglasses: )
It really feels great to see all the lovely comments you had, and we are glad you liked the puns between levels!
Sound effects would be a really nice addition, maybe post jam! Thanks for the suggestion!
:sparkling_heart:
@klaus-peter Vibing is all that matters 😌 (we did plan on adding upgrades 😅)
@eugenik Thank you so much!
@evil-villain-games Thank you so much! Hope you enjoyed the beats! The health is equal to your combo streak when it gets too low you die! We do have plans to make it clearer post jam!
@ryder-studios Yes! I'm glad you noticed that! Yeah I tried but I guess I got sloppy in some instances 😅 Thank you for the kind words!
@gamesplusjames Thank you so much for the kind words! :D You are right, luckily we had a fantastic composer working with us who sorted out our music needs! :D - Yeah I think it does take a little getting used!
Thanks for the kind words!
@tauheed-game-dev That's just being too kind! But thank you, those Pink slimes were a menace!
@cammin One of the early/less serious name ideas was "Crypt of The Necrominer" sooo :sweat_smile:
Thank you so much for the kind words (and for appreciating our puns, glad they weren't b'ore-ing!) and for liking the customisation! A mechanic which I am so glad we added!
I think many people would agree with you, and this is something we will look into post jam, and it getting faster as its get harder is a great idea!
Thank you so much again! :D
@zyger Thank you very much! That's really great to hear (and not just because I did the graphics :joy: ) !
@judgezedd Thanks for playing! :D I am glad you enjoyed it!
Lots of people! Let's go! @bogurodzica Glad you enjoyed it! :D More puns will be coming in future updates/update I will make sure of it!
@saussol Thank you very much!
@m11 Thank you!
@korfi Really glad you enjoyed it! I thought the character was pretty cute too!
@midnightmist Thank you so much! It's really heartwarming to see that people enjoyed it!
@valeth2124 That would be a great idea, maybe faster songs will equal faster beats in the future ;) - And thank yo u so much
@alaah It's a mystery, we will never know :thinking: - Yeah we did notice that as an issue, will hopefully get fixed in the future!
@gramozilho Ahh! That's so lovely to hear :smile: Thank you so much for the kind words! Adding more content could definitely be arranged!
@msipp27 Oh really? Like no music at all?
@briibot Thank you so much for the kind words!
For the HP, it is equal to your combo/streak at the side but we agree that could be made clearer and same with keeping ores, certain ores sell better on different floors but we didn't have enough time to make that clearer.
Thank you so much for playing!
@plaskijakdeska Thank you so much! We had a great composer who made sure that everyone would be enjoying the music whilst playing!
@doctortm Thank you so much!
@msipp27 How weird 🤔 no one else has had the issue, we'll look into it!
@one-seed-fruit Yes! :D That's so weird, it works fine for me but I've seen a few of those issues now hmm, I am glad you liked that!
@andidebob Thank you for the feedback, I love the sound of your dwarf! :D It would be cool to have different styles of dwarf = different styles of music!
And that's a good bit of feedback, I think we also wanted to prepare for all skill levels, I for one am awful at rhythm games, but we can look into that!
Thanks again for playing!
@timo-gass I am glad you liked it! - And maybe uncessary but I wouldn't say unwelcome, it's just a small extra feature to add some personality to your playthrough! :D
How odd, may have been a bug, we can look into that!
Aww that's too kind thank you so much! :sparkles:
Nice idea for a game and a good take on the theme! Plus pizza makes everything better so nice work!
Nicely done, I would recommend looking into Coyote Time to give the player some more time in the air to jump so you don't mess up jumps the second you walk off a platform. But overall a good platformer, nice work :)
Graphically the game is beautiful, and the audio is just so relaxing, I love it. One thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the lack of a typical jump, as it meant levels would need to be restarted for a simple thing such as accidentally walking off the edge, I did find the drill jump to be a cool idea! It would be good if you mentioned that being a thing in the game as it took me a while to work out that it was. Great work! :D
Cool graphics and great audio! Really nice job!
Honestly the music fit the game so well, and it was so catchy! I found myself nodding along to the whole time! Really nice work! :D It could've perhaps done with another obstacle type or something that happens, maybe water currents that can push you around a bit! But for the compo this was more than amazing!
Really cool idea for a game! I did have some issues with getting the beat right but that might just be me!
Really cool idea for the game! I loved shooting notes and just listening to the random tunes it would create! :D Really nice work!
Really nice idea for a game, with lovely art (seriously that swim animation was adorable!) And the music was really quite catchy too!
I think little polishes like a few extra animations, or some fish in the background could take it to the next level! - I also think it would make a great mobile game! Nice work overall!
Cool idea for a game and fits the jam perfetly, the movement felt a bit too slippy for my liking but getting trick shots on the enemies was really fun, nice work!
Really cool idea for a game! Co-op for a game jam is a really nice idea, and it's good that the controls are simple enough that it can be done solo! Really nice work! - All I add is maybe a way to open the controls whilst playing!
I feel like I've heard of a game similar to this ! - Overall, really nice work, great graphics and a cool idea!
