@mexou @brokenmatcha @kebestos Merci beaucoup pour vos retours positifs ! Heureux que ca vous aient plu ! :smile:
- En effet, pour la phase jetpack, c'est assez léger. On a priorisé la descente car c'est là où le gameplay réside. :wink: - Ca peut en effet être très sympa d'accentuer les paliers et ainsi offrir plus de challenge au joueur ! (sauf que pas eu le temps haha)
@zeoxo @xiahouheshuo @redsorel @theapplecake @mrpouletbzh @linky439 @solweak @wiredoverload @tomtomgome @skvader-418 @alina-baybulatova @davision Thank you all for all your postive feedback ! :smile: Glad that you liked the game !
- @theapplecake It would have indeed be great to have a final boss, but yea no time haha :sweat_smile: - @mrpouletbzh @davision The camera bug was a known bug but we found out too late unfortunately. We worked on the game until the last hour and it was found at the end. We runned out of time and left it as it is. Although we can't see our character, we just need to go to where is the hole in order to fix the camera back, so it's not game breaking fortunately ! :tada: - @solweak Good job noticing dynamic music ! :smile: It is indeed ! The musics are crafted by our amazing musician @arista !
That's an interesting game. I really like the fact that you need to build your way step by step with torches and ladders, to reach your grandmother's house. Plus that other players can help you indirectly through their play. It feels a bit like Nier Automata where you can sacrifice yourself to help others as well (except you aren't sacrificing yourself haha)
Here are some points I listed : - The hotkeys aren't very intuitive. If you play with WASD, it looks like they are all mixed up around the movement key, and with some keys doing the same action (Z and F, and why is Y alone over there?). If you play with arrow keys, I guess the keys are Z,X,C for actions. So i guess it's more playable with arrow keys. (Although i have Azerty keyboard, so I still had a hard time to get used to it) - We need to use 2 torches to light up a new torch. That's a bit...weird? or maybe that's just me. I understand it is used to fuel up as well but I would have thought that when you place a new torch, it would light up by default. And then, if the light goes off, you can use 1 torch to fuel it back. As we start with 4 torches each time we go back to our house, by doing this way, it would avoid the player to go back and forth to the house every 2 new torches he places. (More convenient ?)
Fun things I saw : - The brown deer (or fox?) looks like they are holding a rifle at the top of their head, and they shoot at you while chasing you ! :smile: - I don't know why but after a few days, there is big yellow spot near the entrance of our house. I think it's because there are a lot of torches at the same place. :spy_tone2: My guess is that a lot of players tested out the torch at this place and they are all appearing at this place throughout the run. But it actually helped me to know where is the house when the game was going dark. :smile:
On overall, that's a good game. I'd like to put bushes everywhere on the map for other players now hahaha.
Good job on this one ! :tada:
Good job on making a strategy game ! It reminds me of these good old Advance Wars :smile:
Though, I wonder if it was intended to be played without a grid? It does look quite complex to play without a grid as we can stack as much units or buildings at the same location as we want. This can result to either a big snowball, or a big struggle as the player will have a hard time selecting them anyway. :sweat_smile:
Anyway, great enter ! :tada:
A simple game, yet fantastic ! (*Just like your name : finntastico !*)
Ok, pun aside, this is indeed a game that can be a very nice little mobile game. :smile:
Good job on making this game ! :tada:
I really like this kind of game. It's kind of addicting and soothing at the time :smile:
It seems like AI does work fine with simple instruction but it gets buggy at some point and I don't really know what is the cause.
Here are some thought of what could cause them : - I did test mine and ladder on single tile > it works fine - when selecting a range of tiles with mine or ladder, some workers seems to get stuck ? I'm not sure - when I order to mine an already mined tile, i think the worker will still go there and then get stuck? > not sure as well - when switching tabs on the web browser and then come back, some workers get stuck and no longer move > this one does seem to be consistent. (I'm on Firefox)
Besides these, it's a great game ! Congrats on your first ludum dare ! :tada:
Nice art, nice music, nice gameplay. Everything is great !
What else ? I had a good time playing your game ! :smile:
Congrats on this compo ! Amazing work ! :tada:
I loved it ! Best plant game ever !! :smile: :tada:
Un bon jeu d'ambiance, Ã la recherche de la suite musicale(?) pour sortir de cette hypnotisation sonore infinie. :smile:
J'aurais bien vu un petit ajout de musique de fond, en mode très léger pour que les transitions de notes se fassent plus naturelle à l'oreille. Les notes jouées actuellement s'arrêtent assez brutalement si la souris est mal placée.
Good job on this game ! :tada:
(ps: Et je n'ai pas trouvé la fin malheureusement :crying_cat_face: )
***"Sausage is good, Sausage is life, Sausage is golden !"*** - *someone who love sausage, probably*
On a side note, the game is really cute ! :smile:
The game miss some more "obvious" feedback when you get hit by stuff and lose time on your timer. We need some run to fully understand what's going on.
Beside that, on the overall, it's a nice, fun and cute little game. Especially these fishes~ :fish: :tropical_fish:
Good job on your first gamejam ! :tada:
Thank you all for your positive feedback ! :tada:
@fabioecco The language is Creole from Guadeloupe. :slight_smile:
Good work on this entry ! :tada:
I'm not sure if it's intended but sometimes you can do 3 jumps, sometimes 4 jumps. It seems pretty random.
Also, these thin platforms looked like we could pass through, but I guess not :sweat_smile: . I see you used Unity. So if it was what you wanted to do but don't know how, try to check the "Platform Effector 2D" component to be able to do it. :slight_smile: (If you already knew, don't mind my comment then :smile: )
Lastly, I got soft-locked by ice, doing infinite loop, :dizzy: lol. (I forgot to take a screenshot, but from the last screenshot you've put on this page, it's the above part where you slide up and then i just keep getting on this ice and slide up again etc.)
Game is enjoyable on the overall and the artwork is beautiful ! :confetti_ball:
Simple and juicy gameplay ! The laugh really is evil :smile:
Good job on this game ! :tada:
Really nice and beautiful game !
I tried playing the game without reading the tutorial on the description page first, and i thought i was soft-locked in the battle once i placed all my spirits.
The tutorial helped me to know that the "End Spirit Turn" is actually a button and not a label. :sweat_smile:
I would suggest putting the button to the bottom of the spell description instead of the top of our stats. "Discard"/"Empty" buttons having a different style and being near of the "End Spirit Turn" button didn't help, and by symmetry, on the right side, it is the enemy's name (and it's not a button). So my mind just considered it as Not a Button and went above without reading it.
Otherwise, once again, really nice game ! :smile: . I enjoyed the game once i understood how things work.
Good job ! :tada:
@caudatecoder Thanks again for playing ! :smile:
Glad you liked it ! About the boat, we were actually supposed to get it when we kill the first cultist camp, but we didn't had time to implement that ! haha So we've made it accessible right from the beginning !. But yea no notice so it might be a bit confusing. :sweat_smile:
(noting quick reference timestamp : 2:28:05 :thumbsup: )
Heyy, Meteor buddy indeed :smile: ! Interesting card game ! I scored 165.
About the pay, I wasn't sure if we could play the card even though we don't have the required amount. Turns out we can still play it and the "bonus" is just ignored.
It was fun to play on overall. Congratz on this entry ! :tada:
Beautiful art and really nice music ! Gameplay is ok too !
Some part that took me off : * The "Final Hour" screen cutting the view for some seconds while we are in combat but doesn't pause the game. Ended up dying a few times because of that :sweat_drops: * When we die after taking a bubble, we respawn on the bubble spot, making us retaking instantly the bubble and dying a 2nd time if we are in the wrong direction.
also these sniper plant with slightly auto-guided shot are nasty ! lol
But on overall, the entry is pretty solid ! Good job ! :tada:
Juicy feels, amazing art and sound !
I was a bit lost at what to do at first even though I've read the description lol. After reaching 1000 score, I finally remembered something about getting touched to progress :sweat_smile: But the enemies were already faster by then so I died rather fast lol.
I was able to take every power-up on my 2nd run though, so all good !
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Astounding music ! Made me feel like FTL (except it is not FTL) :smile:
Nice exploration game and narrative by itself.
Really good job ! :tada:
That's what I call an Harvest game in it's purest form lol. Really fun and interesting ! These pumpkins grew and spread too much that it got out of hands and now my hand hurts ! :chart_with_upwards_trend:
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Short game but interesting what you can do with UE5 outside of 3D :)
Good job on learning UE5 ! :tada:
Really cool game ! TPS game with a smooth camera rotation, movements are nice, character doesn't take too much of the screen, musics has a fairy feeling which correspond to the game environment, graphics are cute. Game is top and from a user experience point of view, it has everything I like :smile: .
I see that you are polishing this visuals through ludum to ludum (+some stuff I saw on your twitter as well) haha. I may wanna try your previous ones too .
Anyway, really good job ! :tada:
That was pretty fun ! I like the way that each square gets light off when they get abducted haha.
As the time pass, UFOs are increasing and they are just too much to handle with our current upgrades.
On the overall, I enjoyed it a lot ! Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Congratz on your first FPS :smile: ! That was a good game ! I survived until Night 8 haha.
One small point to fix maybe, we can move faster by moving diagonally. You should normalize the vector direction in order to avoid that :thumbsup:
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
What have you done ??? 10/10 would do it again :white_check_mark:
Bahaha I had a good laugh ! :smile: This was quite enjoyable. Good job ! :tada:
Cute and fun ! And a big thumbs up for the acapella ! :thumbsup: :smile:
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
An interesting game. I'm not used to play this kind of game :smile: . The wall of text was a bit overwhelming and understanding the mechanics and combos with the ingredients took me some time. But once understood, we start to see what we have to buy and plan for the next turn ! :muscle: Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Even though a bit complex, It's a really well done and polished game ! I reached the end and killed the boss but nothing happened after his death. I saw on comments above that the victory didn't work somehow. Still i'm very surprised by the amount of features you implemented within such a short time ! And plus that is a compo ?! :scream_cat:
About the puzzles, they weren't simple to solve, I spent quite a few trials before reaching the ladder everytime haha. (Especially the one where imp were introduced)
Really good work ! :tada:
Good concept ! The lag or camera glitch while moving kills a bit the mood unfortunately. Not sure if it is because of the procedural or that the camera is anchored to the character without smoothing while moving.
A cool entry. The art match well with the idea of the game. About puzzles aspect, I would have thought about moving all kind of shapes to mix the colors to ultimately be able to have the bright red haha.
A small 'bug' ? : When circles are validated they visually disappear but they can still be pushed around. They are just invisible :ghost:
I clicked on fish :fish: :white_check_mark:
Interesting game ! I feel like it miss some kind of objective somehow. Right now it is a sandbox of trying out different combination without really knowing if you did see everything or not, as the combined plant is random so we could miss out a new plant without knowing.
Maybe you could add a sort of encyclopedia of what stem / flower / leaf has been discovered ? That way the player could try to find out every available parts and from that he can freely try to make his own ultimate plant ! :sunflower:
Overall good job on this entry ! :tada:
Good feeling when Dashing and going through targets ! This was fun to play haha.
Level 4 was hella hard xD. If you miss one of them by a milimeter, they start go backward and you can't keep up the lost time :timer: :laughing: Good job on this entry !
That was a nice platformer game ! graphics are top ! :smile: . The fact that the character movement slide a bit makes it quite hard to jump on the small platforms and stay on it. I died quite often sliding off forward haha :sweat_smile:
Good job ! :tada:
Damn survived 117 seconds only lol. Good clicker game :smile: Good job ! :tada:
Thanks for playing ! @arscene @theseusinabottle
I did some tweak on movement based on camera facing direction. I may have forgot to only get X and Z axis though.
About the camera rotation, it is actually clamped to -80°/80° but I guess it might be too much :sweat_smile: . About looking from underside, I was thinking about using Cinemachine camera that could handle it well, but I didn't have time to look on it unfortunately.
Thanks both of you for your reviews ! :heart:
@smashcrate @cloverfall @pincushion @madr @captaindreamcast @muriel @justin-c Thanks for playing ! :heart:
@smashcrate @pincushion I actually never played Shadow of the Colossus too lol. But I saw some gameplay videos and these Colossus in the game are really impressive ! Coupled with good music, effects, camera shaking, the game has this kind of woah effect when fighting them (or at least that's what I was feeling when watching). There are some kind of downside such as some bad glitch while climbing or having to travel long landscape (it seems to be a kind of open world) but I would definitely recommand it if you seek for some epic boss fight ! :muscle:
@cloverfall Yea, I didn't have time to make something more challenging haha :sweat_smile:
@justin-c The camera sensitivity could be modified in the options when pausing the game (by pressing 'Escape'). This was one of the option I absolutely wanted to add in the game for playability haha. As for the amount of wheat, as the game is just about a small arena, I wanted at least the player to have enough to fool around on climbing everywhere he wants. :smile:
Chill game ! :smile: Nothing much to say, it was great :thumbsup: Goob job on this entry !
Oh boy a RTS game in a jam ! And well done on top of that !! Super Pretty Awesome Well Done Game !!! I like it :smile:
Moving by dragging mouse instead of clicking on a position feels original, I have no rts game in my knowledge doing that.
These towers and the music soundtrack reminds me a lot of 'Warcraft 3' haha.
This is defintely the game of my heart for this jam :heart: . Good job on this entry and great work to all of you ! :tada:
FOR THE SWARM !!!! :bug:
Game isn't working on my computer somehow. When I open the .exe, It shows a white screen and it closes on his own after a few seconds. I'm on Windows 10.
Great stealth game ! :smile: Reached the end but damn these big light circle are moving fast lol. I enjoyed playing it.
Here are 2 small issues I encountered :
* On webGL version I had a small issue where my camera were turning right alone without moving the mouse. Some people had the same issue on my game on webGL version as well. Maybe it is an Unity bug. :thinking:
* On Windows version, after reaching the end and going back to the main screen, the mouse wasn't shown up so I couldn't click on any button :sweat_smile:
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
That's a nice tower defense ! Aside from the gold not reseting when restarting after losing, everything ran fine.
Also don't hesitate to use TMPro for UI text in Unity. TMPro (built-in) uses vectors to display text so it won't be blurred whatever its resolution :smile:
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Nice and cute puzzle game ! Levels has been designed smartly to have some challenge yet not too hard :smile:
As for the theme, Harvest do have these synonyms but it is used for things that are meant to be eaten. So it sounds a bit weird to harvest animals that we are supposed to help haha (Unless the polar expedition is going to eat the penguin ? :smirk: :fork_knife_plate: :penguin: :scream_cat: )
Anyhow it's a game well done ! Good job ! :tada:
Fun game ! :smile: , keys used are a little all over the place lol, pressing 'Space', 'Enter', 'Escape' that are a bit far from the main keys 'K', 'L', 'WASD'. I would suggest to at least put 'OK/Confirm' actions all on 'K' key. I think that's usually how it is done, the attack button does the confirm action while in menu.
About the weapons, shooting weapons were a bit hard to control as it shoot only on the direction we going :sweat_smile: , I ended up keeping the lightsaber as it is easier haha
Overall nice game ! Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Awesome game ! The weight mechanic was a nice surprise :smile: (Poor bird :bird: , I made it carry so much he couldn't fly anymore lol).
I thought there would be something at the end if we had 55/55 so I replayed but there was nothing. :japanese_goblin:
Nesting.JPG
Good job on this entry ! :tada:
@dekara @boltkey @kirass @uniowl @lelek-hunor-kadosa @doonutsaur @vorobus @lisek-gagatek @hystaf @smoky01 @the4thcircle @quasilyte @floke Thanks a lot for all your positive feedbacks !!! :smile: :star2:
@the4thcircle We didn't have time to add an in-game tutorial, but everything is documented in the description page. Only __Medium Kaijus__ can fight back Helicopters !
@quasilyte Thank you for the playthrough !
@lisek-gagatek @floke About the HP bar, we actually discovered that bug yesterday as well. It's weird that it sometimes disappear :sweat_smile: . We will try to take a look into it. Thanks for the report !
Interesting game with cards and chiefs !
Gameplay wise, it seems a bit limited currently with only 2 oven and 2 cards at a time, and they take the first 2 dishes of the list as well. I often ended up with 2 same cards and the 2 dishes on the list were the weakness of the chief to appear :sweat_smile: . So I feel like we don't have much choices.
I think it would have been nice to be able to discard some dishes or to re-order them. On my first run, I thought the chief would automatically take the dish he is best at among the 4 displayed, haha.
Overall, good job on this entry ! :tada:
Sokoban with some additional gimmicks ! Nice !
Managed to reach the end ! :smile:
It was a nice puzzle-game. Good job on this entry ! :tada:
Art are really nice and polished, Music goes well along the game.
A bit hard to understand at first but we then see the reversed "survivor" thematic :smile: and it all make sense after that.
I managed to reach level 17 after some tries and reaching the end of the timer. It was hard to adjust how much units to send to feed the diver without killing him. :sweat_smile:
Anyway, good job on this entry ! :tada:
Haha, spinning cat goes brrrr !
A simple yet fun entry ! :smile: Good job !
Oh god, that's a thoughtful game. The way that there aren't many damage dealing hydra head but more defensive ones, requires us to think about placements carefully.
Furthermore, the fact that enemies move and attack first before the hydra heads can attack means that we need to plan even more ahead. If we don't have defensive cards to go along with the attacker hydras when an enemy is about to attack, we aren't pretty much dead as they die before they can attack.
We need to be clever on each turn :smile: . Reminds me a lot of the game "Into the Breach" where enemies next move is being shown !
I reached Wave 11 and there were still new enemies coming out. I wonder how many enemies were there still to discover (or was it actually actually the last one as it looked like a boss ?) :sweat_smile:
Capture_Hydra.JPG
The Grey hydra and the Green hydra saved me more than once in every waves. They are really powerful if used nicely.
Anyway, The game is pretty and well polished ! Really good job on this entry ! :tada:
Strategy games are always welcome ! I managed to beat the 2 levels although I friendly-fired some of my units. There is also a bug where I can move on a cell where belong another of my unit, causing both units to bug and can't be selected until the next turn.
Overall a nice entry !
I had no idea how to summon on the 1st run haha (even though i've read the description). The portals on the left blend in environment that i didn't think it was clickable.
2nd run went smooth :smile: . I do feel like the elements to summon are switching a little bit too fast. I always have to pre-shot the previous element in order to summon the one I want.
Well, still managed to survive 15minutes with a score of 87 :muscle: !
Capture_WrathElement.JPG
Overall a good game ! Nicely done ! :tada:
This must have took so much time to write the whole thing. Kudo to that ! :tada:
The true culprit wasn't obvious to me. I felt like it missed a dialog at the end to know ;).
Also, (I don't know how to avoid lore spoiler with this one), but let's say that I thought that the priest and her friend with similar power needed to touch each other in order to regulate their power. If it makes sense to you~
Good job on this entry !
It is visually fantastic, the dragon and the autels are gorgeous ! The music also fit well with the atmosphere of the game !
However, we miss way too much informations about the elements and the monsters. - We can choose between 5 monsters, do they have different stats between them ? I tested each of them and they all get kill by the same amount of hit. - We have 5 elements and we can attribute them to attack or defense, is there an element that give more attacks or defenses than another element ? or do they all give the same buff ? - I see the enemies are in different colors. Maybe in some similar colors as the elements. Does this indicate some kind of weakness depending on which element we did put in attack ? Are they stronger against some elements ?
There are currently just too many unknown variables. That being said, I know there is often not enough time to put a tutorial or more feedback in the game during a gamejam. I would suggest to put some additional information in the page description at least, so that we can understand the game a bit more and enjoy it !
Good job on this entry ! The game is interesting, visuals are great !
Chess pieces works almost as intended, we can take opponent pieces and movements are limited to avoid going to the opposite map too fast. Something i'm not sure if it's a bug or not, I was able to take opponent pieces with some of my pieces even though it couldn't go to the opponent location. By doing so, the opponent piece die and my piece stay at his place instead of taking the opponent place.
Also, I could summon a piece on top of another piece. By doing so, the first summoned piece got glitched and couldn't be moved anymore.
The little puzzle at the top right was a bit inintuitive haha, I was clicking every pieces trying to move them on what I thought was empty spots, but it was actually the dark piece that was supposed to go at the middle of the circle. Though I still managed to move the pieces on my 2nd run and complete the puzzle :) !
