Really nice game. Really nice world creation! I really appreciate how the game feels. One thing I would do is to improve the tutorial with visuals a bit and also put the cars that follow you to the right. Otherwise very nice game !
Really enjoyed this game! The graphics were awesome and I liked the map design with the colors because they give the player a sense of navigation in the world. The shop was not explained in the beginning and it was really hard find out what it does during the game due to stress. Otherwise nice game!
The game was really nice ! I enjoyed the story and also how big the levels were. I also really like the enemies and the take on the theme! Check out our stream for more feedback and to see how we played it https://www.twitch.tv/sdg_ryo
very good take on the theme! I like the combination of items and the choices the player can take to complete a level. One thing I would improve is to add a tutorial in the beginning showing what the symbols in game mean. The last bossfigth was a little to hard but for the rest, perfect entry.
Very nice game! I really like the procedural y generated maps and how the game has a very nice sense of progression. It also feels very nice to buy new weapons. One thing that could be improves is feedback on hitting and getting hit and the store could be a little bit less complex in terms of overview . Otherwise very nice game! Thanks
Awesome game! Felling of the game is very polished.I could see this going into a very nice direction (multiplayer, more levels and stuff)
Really nice game. The switching between the two worlds was awesome and the story is very innovative.
I really liked the graphics and feeling of the game! If I had to say a thing that bugged me the most it would be, that you can not skip text. Really great game with some interesting "painter-feeling" to it :)!
I had a lot of fun playing the game but here is my critique:
The idea of the game is quite nice. Building your own family tree with aseries of events sounds like a promising concept but unfortunately it has not been explained a lot. For your next games you should really consinder trying to improve with tutorials and explanations. Walls of text are also very irritating sometimes and would be much better if supported with some icons or symbols.
I still enjoey the game, and am looking forward for more! :)
Pretty nice game. It feels like a demo for a new Hollow Knight game. I felt a little bad because I did not manage to get the letter over and over but otherwise the game feels very nice. I really like the art!
Very nice and polished game! I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere of the genre (building stuff) and the music that is combined with the stress of a clicker game! Nice idea. Graphics were fantastic and the game felt very polished
Very nice game here. Really addicting. Graphics are top and the overall feeling is perfect. Enjoyed it a lot!
For a 72 hour gamejam game this is very impressive. The polishing of this feels very good! The music and the vocals really underline the story. Maybe replace the title screen and the game would be perfect!
Also the waves feel very "realistic" and "natural". If you decide to make a whole game out of it, let me know!!
Wow, the mechanics are actually something new and I really enjoyed playing it although I am very bad at it. It was a little hard for me to actually type and jump at the same time. Thanks for coming up with such a nice game.
Nice game and it brings up a very nice contrast between the story and the gameplay which really fun!
This game really looks and feels great to play. One thing that I would add if I could choose would be to remove the automated attacks and let the played choose what would be their next move. This would also add a little bit more interactivity which I think is needed. Other than that it was fun to choose what I want my character to be like and to choose which skills I saw fit for the next fight
Great game! Really enjoyed the story , it's very cute. I am impressed that you managed to make a nintendo game in such a short time, really appreciate the effort! Overall the theme was met which was very rare in the games I played so far. Very nice!
The game idea is very nice. What I liked the most was the cute graphics and the UI. Although some more hints and a "delete option" for the selected building would be nice. There is no indicator to how much population you have but that's ok. Really liked he idea you came up with. Definitely something worth continuing and it will be a great game!
Nice style! Maybe try to make the waves a little bit harder so the player has more challenge to deal with. Otherwise great concept ! :)
I must say these are some very nice models and also the music is very good. A suggestion that migth help improve on the game would be to add effects for when the player is hit. There are SFX queues to symbolize the effect of hitting and getting hit but if someone plays without sound it is not very clear. Some VFX would help a lot here. I liked the fog of war and how different every room felt. Especially the Minotaur
Very nice mood in the game I also enjoyed the level design and very cool mechanics! Awesome
Really nice game! There is not a lot to say because it feels very polished. If the enemies would take back the planets it would be realy nice. Also, thanks for the quick fight option ;)
Really good job on the game!
Nice game! It just feels a little off that in the story mode you have to shoot with a different key than in 2 player mode. Nice animations and feel to the game. It would be cool to see how much faster you were compared to the other player
Very nice game! It feels like a completely finished one and also is very polished. It can be very addictive and interesting to watch (as we did on our stream) https://www.twitch.tv/sdg_ryo
Thanks again for sending it in, we really appreciated it! If you think about continuing the game please let me know!
Really innovative! We had some troubles but had a lot of fun and it's impressive what you made !
Really enjoy the game! We had some bugs with the shooting on stream but thats not a big deal. The world is huge and I really enjoyed that. Maybe you could fill the world up a little bit more by adding simple graphics like streets and more houses.
One thing, you should try to make the body-part mechanic a little bit more present in the game because it is very unique. Good job
Very polished game! I really appreciate the very clear tutorial which is very unique in game jams. Also the polishing is very good. Overall the game is very nice and the posters/sound effects are awesome. Overall great game
Very nice game, I like the 3D effect with the 2d art. The only thing I wanted to mention here is that it can get quit repetitive if you set the crowd number to max and most people say the same thing. This can also just be me asking the wrong people. Otherwise very nice and interesting game.
Nice game! On my pc there were some audio glitches on both "good performance" and "good graphics". Otherwise it is a nice take on the theme and what i loved the most were the physics of the blocks and the "Smash" feel to it.
The game was really nice to play. I hoped that the enemies were a little bit more visible when behind the tower. The art is nice and the surroundings feel very alive due to nice animations
Thanks for sending the game to our stream. Graphics were very polished and I've never seen something like this , thus making it a very unique submission. The simple control makes it perfect for mobile
@mashupgames thank you very much!
@gaming-night Thanks, really appreciate the feedback!
@bauke-regnerus Yes that is something we could have put into the game. Thank you!
@jam373 We will consider puting more time into level design so (possible) items or power-ups make more sense in the end. Thanks for the feedback!
@bentekiller Thank you for the feedback! yes, we tried to stick as close as possible to the theme this time.
@pusheeneiro Thank you , we will deffinitely consider adding more feedback next time !
@limejuice123 Thank you! We were actually affraid that it was too much on the screen, glad it was not the case. The idea on the door was to fully commit to them, but your approach also could be interesting
@circleoflife Thank you! The plot was hidden in the item descriptions. We will try to make it more visible next time.
@joshanthony1990 Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the good feedback! Really appreciate that
@dev-for-pizza (more like Pizza for Dev ;)! ) Glad you liked it, thanks for playing !
@avoca-do thanks for letting us know. We are trying to fix this bug asap
@knatt Thank you! Glad you liked the game (even with bugs)
@adam-elaoud Wow, thank you for the detailed feedback! Next time we will deffinitly put more time into testing the playability/feeling of the game. Very glad you liked it!
@copper-aardvark-games Thank you very much!
@a-coltzz Thank you very much for the feedback! Checked out and rated your game!
@flamboozle Thank you! We will deffinitely try to improve the map design for our future games
@al-bueche Thanks for the good feedback! It was the first tiem for us to create items and an inventory /merchant system. We will try to improve on that.
@anion-z Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed the graphics so much! We will deffinitly try to improve on melee fighting and feedback.
Ye, I forgot to click the loop button :/
@purrfexionator thank you for the very detailed feeback, it helps a lot for future game jams and game development. Yes, we had some trouble balancing the doors and making sure that the player gets all the necessary items to go through doors (some items take away max health, for example). This is why we decided to go with the save mechanic that gets no player soft-locked in a level
@no-grapes-games Thank you very much! Very glad you enjoyed the feel in our game!
@maychant Our artist had some inital trouble with pixel art since she never worked with it. Glad you enjoyed it ! Also, thanks for the bug report. This is one that we never saw before.
@samh Thanks for the feedback! We are planning on improving our skills of melee attacks to also give the player more feedback since it is very important. With the respawn/open next door - mechanic we wanted to make sure that no player gets soft-locked in the levels
@bentebent Glad you liked it! We are trying to improve on melee attack for the next jams
@evgeniya-zapolnova Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
@kuro The ending might have been as dark as you thought it was. We wanted to have a deep and sad story. Glad you also liked the tutorial and that it inspired you.
Yes, we are working together in our indie company Healing Bullet Games. Our twitter handle is @healingbullet and we try to stream weekly!
@duke Wow thanks for the in-depth feedback. Really helps us improving on our games for the next jams. We noticed that the fighting felt a bit off and this is why we are currently trying to improve on that to make better games next time.
@miu Thanks! The bug is independent from the resolution, it is because of a code bug we tried to fix (and unfortunately did not manage completely)
@zondarg Hey! Maria, our artist, always wanted to create balls with teeth and we are glad that you enjoyed her take on that! You can actualyl run aroud the spikes and collect the items. You are welcome! We really enjoyed playing your game
@nikolay-zapolnov Hey! (a heads up, your picture is still the background of my pc). Oh, that is a new bug that we have not encountered before. Thanks for playing it , we really enjoyed your game too!
@mharring Thank you! Glad you liked the direction we were going (zelda).We are working on improving the hit effects!.
@gurkenlabs Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)!
@jimbly thanks for letting us know about this bug!
Thanks for playing our game and the good feedback! :)
Really had a lot of fun playing this. One reason for that is the animations being super cute and interesting! The game has a very nice feel to it. I had some trouble with the "shooting at the rigth position" mechanic but that is just me. Otherwise very nice game.
I really enjoyed this game! It reminded me of a rhythm games yet it was something completely new and the experience was great! The art is perfect and very unique! I had a lot of fun!
Very Nice game! Even though you ran out of time you made something awesome! For your first LD entry it is very awesome.
The graphics of this game look really cute! One thing I would have enjoyed would be an ingame tutorial and maybe a short explanation. Another thing that would be cool is to have more damage in the beginning to have a more "hero" like feeling that just runs over the enemies. But this is just a suggestion. Other than that, very nice game.
Very nice graphics!! 10 / 10 puppies! Really enjoyed playing it. It would be cool to have more speed if you have to play the same places over and over again. One thing I noticed is, that you can buy already sold items again, I don't know if that is intentional but maybe the player can soft-lock themselves with that. Otherwise great game, nice music and a very good experience ! Thanks :).
Very amazing game! It feels very polished and the art is really good. One thing , maybe add some counter for how many souls you have in the moment. Also the replay-ability of the levels adds to the world amd makes the player really appreciate the game more.
awesome game! Really enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed the art style of this game. It was something new and refreshing. Really nice to have found this gem :) Good job!
This game is very nice! I love the animations and graphics in it. It was a bit hard to play in the beginning but it was nice once I found out what to do :)
very cool game! Great job
Very good game. Its simple and it has a purpose! Really enjoyed it!
Very nice interpretation of the theme! Really enjoyed art and mood of this a lot!
Very lovely game :) The 3d pixelart is fantastic! Great job!
I really enjoyed this game. The pixel art was very nice! What I would have hoped for would be some count down until when someone gets hungry or sleepy :) Other than that , good job :)
The game was good for 6 hours! I would have loved to have more elements like red or purple things to collect! Good job
Very nice game! I love the art you made. The enemies look awesome :) Great job.
Really liked this one! I love the humor in it!
@graphicedit thank you so much !
@bootak Thank you so much! We really appreciate the kind words!
@catiliangames wow thank you so much! This really means a lot to us.
@whatnamegames thank you soo much!
@nachtwitch thank you so much , really appreciate this ! :)
@daniiln thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback
@hartvichio haha the lonely lad :D , appreciate the kind words
@pestodesign thank you! we thought about implementing a map but we ran out of time unfortunately
@pestodesign oh , very good than , we are glad you enjoyed the game. If I may ask, how many endings did you find :)?
@pestodesign oh, that's cool :) Thank you
@gabas Thank you very much, really appreciate the kind words. We will definitely think about including settings next time.
@thor1 thank you so much, this means a lot to us:)
@mrerdalural what a great honor! Thank you so much!
@nisovin thank you so much :) We were in quite a hurry towards the end and missed that one, but we will pay more attention to those details next time :)
@mateusboga thank you so much for the kind words. Unfortunately we did not notice that bug in time and that's why it is still in the game. A post-jam version will fix the problem :)
Glad you liked the ending :)!
@omickron thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words :)
@uchiro That's some good endings you got there! Thank you a lot for the feedback. After one ending all doors could be open all the time and the player could start with an item already :) Good ideas, thanks
@uchiro Nono, it is not in the game yet, but it would be a very good feature. Thank you for the input!
@simon-rahnasto sounds like you got the best ending :D! Thanks so much! We are glad that you liked our writing, it really was a big part of the process :)
This game reminds me a lot of Thomas Brush games. Good job :)
I have to say, this is very fun! I love the twist with the health. Took me a while to get to 256 since I am not good at these kind of games. A short bug report. The 256 tile was not movable and so I lost the game :/
other than that, awesome concept
I have to say, this game looks very unique! One thing that I see is missing is game juice like particles when enemies are hit, screenshakes etc. That would definitely improve the game a lot :) Other than that, good job!
It was really fun to find out and remember the correct paths for every lad :) I loved the ways they could die and I was always trying to figure out the best way to not let anyone die. Good job on this!
A game that tackles a very serious topic! I love the way you portray the emotions and moods, good job!
This game is very beautiful and fun to play! Gotta say I love the way you can build your own level with risks & rewards. One thing I was missing is a way to lock your current layout. Otherwise great job!
This is quite a cool game concept! Really love the way it plays.
Really enjoyed the game. Its simple but the level design makes it fun :)! Good job
overall super nice game! I tried to build my way up as efficiently as possible and actually managed with only 3 ladders, no idea if that is good :D Had a fun time, great job!
Such an amazing game! The fact that you have an intro cut-scene that is so adorable and well made combined with the fact that the levels also look amazing is a huge plus :)
Very well made and put together game. The one area I would wish to see some improvements in would be the gameplay as I got stuck on some places.
Nice implementation of the topic!
I love the huge variety of games you made! Great work on this one, loved the initial meme :D
Awesome game! I tried it a few times but never made it to the final era unfortunately. overall a very relaxing game, the music was quite calm and did complemented the game play nicely! Interesting take on the topic! Great job!
Adorable graphics! I just could not figure out how to get past the first level unfortunately! Interesting idea for the topic for sure! good job :)
Awesome soundtrack, graphics and story! Wonderful experience even though I could not finish the game completely due to not being a good gamer :(
What a wonderful game! I loved everything about it!
@tensoplast01 Thanks for playing! There is actually a final object and scoring system. The goal is to get back into the shooter lane by going to the top and shooting yourself to the right. Once you've made it, the game tracks three methods of scoring: total time to beat, split time (time since the last reset), and total score (how many points you got by hitting different objects)
@jungle thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words a lot
@san4es9524 That is exactly the feeling we were trying to go for! Glad we got that right :)
@slimmerburger Thank you! Happy that you could enjoy it.
@cabbageslices thank you so much! Appreciate it a ton :)
@yogurtthehorse thank you! Unfortunately we can not test the mac build so it would just be a build and hope it works.
Very awesome take on the topic! It was a lot of fun to play and I tried multiple times to beat my record! Glad to have found this game :D The music is amazing!!
top rating across the board! I had such an amazing time playing this!! great job
This was an oddly satisfying game I gotta say :D Great job! the graphics were really pretty!
This game is very calming if you ignore the amounts of times I hit my table in real life because I could not pull out a block haha. Really good experience! I wish the tower build up in the beginning was skippable after the first time, since it stops me from playing the game a lot more, but maybe I missed something there!
Good job! A very deep topic but a good game you created there! I wish it had a trigger warning somewhere :) Other than that good!
This game is unbelievably cute, relaxing and nice to play! Very well done! I wanted to share a picture of my final island but at some point the game crashed giving me a fatal error. I was so focused on stacking that I could not even tell you when the bug happened unfortunately!
Awesome little game with great potential! Graphics are super adorable and music is amazing :) Thank you!
very interesting and relaxing game! I could sit here for hours and just click buttons and make sure the element is all cozy :D
Awesome game idea! I loved the cut scene in the beginning :D unfortunately did not get all the way to the end! I had a ton of fun playing it :D
good take on the topic! I had to try multiple time to get past the bigger enemies but it was fun nonetheless ! Great job!
I love the among us type minigames, really glad to be able to have played this! Graphics are outstanding and the mood is super nice!!
What an amazing game this is! I had so much fun playing it. I loved the fact that there were tons of tiny things to do and whenever I was almost done with a task, I got interrupted by self-destruct or oxygen :D Great job!
