As said before controlls may not be the best but it's a super cool idea and the graphics are just mindblowing! Very good job!

As said before controlls may not be the best but it's a super cool idea and the graphics are just mindblowing! Very good job!
Cool game, nice graphics! The game feels a bit unfair to me though...
What a bunch of naughty little rascals! Nice game guys!
Super cool graphics! Super cool gameplay. I like devil daggers and I enjoyed this!
This was mindblowing! Amazing! How did you manage to pull this off in so little time!?
The gameplay is just too good! I really like the shoot and jump indicators. Good job man!
Sir. You are a genious! This is just too good. Awesome art. Awesome writting. awesome music. And mindblowing level design, mechanics and game concept.
Please make an app out of this. The world needs to see this!
I'm truly amazed. Keep it up! I suscribed to your youtube. I'll be waiting for more of your stuff!
Btw, did you use any engine for this?
Art is cute (Illustrator right?:yum:) and although simple the gameplay works. And GREAT tutorial. Good job overall guys!
CONS: -I wouldn't play more than 1 game :frowning2: -The barrier controlls shouldn't be relative to the planet position. I found that screwing me up more than i'd like to.
This is hilarious. Very nice game and awesome graphics!
The sword play could be more precise though. And for the love of god please change those uity standard buttons :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I really liked it though, very very good entry! :grin:
I really enjoyed this game. I'm not a fan of the camera though. At first I thought it was awesome because it looked super cool, but when I started playing I got lost preety fast.
Having a slightly bigger crosshair would'nt hurt either.
But I really like it over all! Good job guys.
Cool music and cool graphics! The game concepts is also very appropiate given the theme.
To be honest I would have never made it to the end without your guide...
But well done. Nice entry!
Really nice graphics and transitions. The game concept is really intresting too.
I loved the ending. Caught me 100% off guard ;)
And where is the crow? Did he fly away? I thought we were friends...
Simple and enjoyable! The game feels good and the intro is awesome! Good job.
Very well excecuted game. I really liked it!
2 minor things to fix:
1- The player should be brighter for more contrast. Maybe some kind of light blue? (my eyes hurt :cry:)
2- The first miniboss (the yellow guy) tipped over. Freeze his Z rotation :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
But yeah, really nice game. Well done!
That was amazing! Great graphics, great animations, great sound, great gameplay.
My only complaint is game speed. It felt a little too slow.
But this is definatelly one of my favourite games! Good job!
Great art! I didn't quite get the gameplay though...
Love the idea! The execution is preety good too. Animations ,the teleporter/portal shader and the repetition after each level are very cool too. Good entry! :)
Fun little game. Love the art too :) I would have liked to be able to have more controll over the planet though.
Best game so far hands down! Plus you are a one man team, more like a one man army!
I also took a look at your portfolio and oh man you have talent. Good job, keep it up!
You need to work on the technical stuff. Other than that cute sotry and good luck with your next games! :D
Really nice game in all aspects. But i'd be nice to have an easier begining. I never managed to stay alive for more than a couple minutes.
Kepp it up!
I like the idea! The graphics are not that cool looking and the game design may be a little bit off but I had fun :D Good job sir.
Magistral puzzles. Good job sir!
Really like the concept. Also the game fells polished for a jam :)
Fun game. Plays good, looks cool and has ragdoll physics. What else can you ask for? ;)
What an awesome simple and original idea! The execution is great too. Congrats!
Cool mechanic! I would have also liked the game to be faster. But it was really enjoyable anyway :)
Fun game guys. I enjoyed it and the art is cool. Was this made Magica Boxel?
Oh wow, very surprised with this one. Art is amazing, the theme is cool and the levels are well though. The controlls can feel a bit clunky but I really enjoyed it anyways. Congrats!
Everything on this game is phenomenal. And for some reason I really like crashing and losing on purpose. Congrats!
Cool concept and lovely art and mechanics. Congratulations I had fun :) Just a couple of things I would have liked to see: - Bigger bullets - Screenshake - That the enemies take an impact when they get hit.
So basically the gamefeel could be better but hey, as I said the game is awesome, congrats.
What a clean, simple and stylish way of nailing it! I really really liked it. Super clear, juicy, good controls, good theme, challenging and stylish and simple looks. One of the best games I've seen by far!
It was hard to get inot but once I did I really enjoyed the ride. Great game and really creative!
What an intense fun game. I really enjoyed it! And also congratulations on the art :)
Intresting, fun and challenging. Good job!
This is so cool, fun and satisfying! I love it! Also the space penguins and art in general look super badass. Oh and congrats on that transition, also looks great!
I really enjoyed this. It's challenging and cool to get through the whole thing with all the crates.
And fun fact about the game, if you have no crates on the box and keep the left arrow pressed the boat will start gaining speed while frontflipping, its hilarious XD
I had a lot of fun! Thanks and congratulations on your entry!
Great grame, great asthetics and great ending. I really enjoyed it :)
Everything about this game is awesome! So muuuuch detail and love. Congratulations and keep it up!
Very nice combat and looks. I really like the game concept :)
That art though. What a great game. Congratulations!
Very good and polished game. I don't really have much to say other than good job!
Holly molly this is the best jam game I've played so far. The art is out of this world, the theme is unmatchable (tinder pun intended) and the execution and attention to detail is phenomenal. The game is really really great as is but I have 2 possible improvements for a maybe future full game (please please consider it): - Gameplay can feel slow, why do they have to speak for so long? - There's no payoff when you "win" a date
PD: Congrats, now when I go out on a Tinder date I will think about this game XD
Just sublime. Simple and stylish!
Maybe having a more concise and attainable goal would have been nice. Also having moving targets would have improved the experience since at the end you can throw all pieces almost without looking. Other than that this was quite fun and oddly satisfying. I felt real good when I mastered it :)
Awesome game. Beatiful and simple! Maybe it's a bit too random at times(branches zig zag in an impredictable way) but other than that I absolutely loved it.
So stylish and well made. I love it!
Well that was different for sure. I enjoyed it. Congrats on your entry ;)
As you say playing with a touch screen is better. But I really liked the concept, it got me anxious in a good way. And nice lifestream btw ;)
This game is hilarious! The theme, the graphics, the music, the effects. I really loved it!
That art and game concept is awesome. Also love how the game plays, it's fun! Good job!
Satisfying to pull off! Also love the pixelart, nice entry :)
@imphenzia Yeah, the WebGL version screwed the proportions of the UI (and also the outline shader). The bar is supposed to be below the table and I had no time to fix it, so yeah... Actually the raycast only targets food but it's very hard to hit stuff when you can't see it, my bad :P The music is a no copyright track I found on youtube and thought it really matched the theme.
@ponchoguy Great feedback. Adding the flipping table would have been hilarious. But I run out of time :P
And the outline highlight thing is in the game. Only that the shader in the WebGL version is messed up for some reason. The Windows version works fine though(you can see it on the Youtube video too).
Today I discovered that I'm not suposed to be a chicken farme :( I really enjoyed the game though! Congrats! My only complaint is to have to click chests 2 times, other than that maybe you are sitting on a cool mobile game idea ;)
You made me feel like the Simpsons cat lady! Good job and nice art ;)
The art and the game theme is just amazing. And the gameplay is pretty nice too. Don't you just hate when your baby keeps getting into the oven? Uh... Kids this days... ;)
Holly shit. The polish art and theme of this thing is amazing. Congratulations!
The looks, feel, originality, art, gameplay, sound and everything on this game are completely amazing! I'm super impressed, the screen captures were super promissing but the game really blew all my expectations. I really have nothing else to say apart than this game is awesome and hilarious and that it has a lot of promise in mobile platforms!
Oh boy those graphics. Very nice entry! congrats!
This felt good and was quite fun! I also dig the art. I would have liked the bullets to be bigger though :)
Very polished and intresting game. Really enjoyed it and congrats on the art!
Very intresting take on the theme. And really polished beautiful entry. Congratulations I really enjoyed it!
This is awesome! Congrats
Loved the art and the design of the game. The controlls were a bit funky though. Why force the player to only use 1 hand? Great game though. Congrats :)
This was great! Congrats! If this is your first game you really should keep making games! :)
Nice art and overall nice experience. My only complaint is that the sprites are sometimes sorted in a funky way but great entry!
Amazing art. The game concept is also super original. I really enjoyed this one. Good job!
Very intresting concepts and mechanics. Plus the art is great too. Congrats!
Simple, lovely and fun. Good job!
Fun game, good job. Really liked the look and setting. Congrats. And by the way, this game is screaming screen shake, it would have been badass! But again it was really cool regardless ;)
The art and polish on this one is just amazing. And the gameplay is also great. Congratulations!
First of all, congrats. The art is out of this world and the theme is just incredible. Gameplay eise I would have liked to have more impact though but I really liked it. Looking forward to what you guys do for the next jam!
This thing is amazing! Great theme, graphics and execution, feels great and it's also intriguing. I tip my fedora to you good sir!
Rough on the edges, but cool concept, I enjoyed goofing around :)
Cool game and awesome art. I would have loved to have bigger bullets though :)
Really enjoyed it. The concept is a bit generic but cool anyways!
I really dig the art and style of the game. The gameplay sometimes feels a bit weird but overall I enjoyed it. Congratulations on your entry! :)
Really original cool concept. I also really like the character and the particle system of the sucking part
Hi I really want to play but the controls don't seem to be working. I press WASD and LeftClick and nothing happens. What I'm I doing wrong?
The incognito window did the trick! Let's just say it was a unique experience (and reminded me of a vegan friend of mine XD) I enjoyed it ;)
Some good quality fast paced arcade goodness. I really enjoyed this one! :D
This game is amazing!
I would have loved to have more UI feedback about buildings and so on instead of having to write it down :P
But I had a ton of fun anyways. Congratulations!
Oh man this is a fun lovely game. Me and my bro had a blast playing it. And props on the art too!
I love the style and the idea of the game! And it has quite a lot of polish for being a jam game :) The spaceShip felt a bit too floaty for me though but I really enjoyed the game anyways, congrats and good entry!
Well this caught me offguard. Great game though and awesome art!
This is just something else! Really well done, I loved it!
Cool fun game and lovely pixel art. Good job!
What a simple, awesome and well executed idea. 10/10!!!
Original and cool mechanics. I enjoyed playing. Congrats!
Game looks great and full of great ideas. You really should finish this one! ;)
Hey. First of all congrats The game is awesome! I was wondering how you achieved those super cool outlines. Could you please points me on the right direction? Thanks and cheers!
This is phenomenal. Really complete and inmersing game. Had a great time. Thanks for making this :D
Funky fun game! Really liked it :D
Oh wow this is great! The gameplay is great, it looks and sounds great and the edge detection looks awesome!
Congrats!
Great stuff! Really polsihed and good looking!
I would make the controls a bit less floaty though. But still, great game!
I love how you always come up with a cool game concept and solve a programming challenge at the same time. Really like how the cables and playback mechanics turned out!!! :D
Great job as always!
Oh wow, this is amazing. Really fun and unique, had fun experimenting with the different contraptions :D
My only issue is that there is too much trial and error at the beginig since you don't know what each contraption does and how to complement them. A tutorial or incremental levels would have gone a long way.
Great entry though!
Really really dig the art. The game idea is amazing too. There are a couple things that bother me though: There are no sound effects, the game is hard to grasp, enemies take many many hits to die. Still, great game, congrats!
Great stuff. It's like a really cool twist of PacMan. I had a lot of fun playing this.
It bothers me how the green guys run slightly slower than the dash speed and you can be chasing them for a long while. If the green guys run slower I think it would be even a better experience.
As I said I really enjoyed it though. So congrats!
This is just amazing. 10 out of 10 for me in every single category. Just wonderful. I'm out of words. Super good graphics, great idea, amazing execution, outstanding effects, outstanding gamefeel, incredible audio and voiceovers, fun, smart and many many more positive adjectives.
I tip my hat to y'all. CONGRATULATIONS! Already looking forward to your next creation!
Oh wow guys, this is great! The amount of stuff and polish that the game has is mindblowing. The 5 members team really came through!!! (I'm really gelous about this as a solo dev :P)
I love how crazy the game gets once you enable all the penalizers. Gets really hectic and fun! Also the looks and feel of the game is amazing.
Congrats! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future!
One little thing though. In one of my games I fell off a building, when I was placed on a roof I fell again without having time to react, then the same happened, and again, and again. And I had a loop of like 6 consecutive falls. Maybe a second or so of relax time after falling would have been good. This is the only complaint I have and this is getting really picky. Again, congrats!
I'm literaly blown away (just like the president at the end of my runs XD). This is truly amazing! The idea is awesome and fits the theme almost too well, the gameplay is fun, the art is dope and the effects are super funny (I love the ballon effects and american eagle after intercepting a rocket).
My only tiny improvement point would be to add some kind of outline to the rockets since at times they can be hard to spot.
But overall this is definately a super cool game, congrats to you 3!
Hey, this is awseome and really well executed! Love the idea and feel of the game. It was a lot of fun to play. Congrats!
That's surprisingly good! So deep, well thought and well executed. Definately not Bad Software at all ;)
The only "problem" I see is that this game is not for everyone. It may be too dense and with too little graphic feedback for some folk out there.
It also goes with the theme really well!
This is amazing. Really original, good looking, fitting to the theme and overall fun! The huge team definately payed off. Congrats guys!
This is great stuff! At first was a bit confusing though and had to do tons of scrolling. Then I discovered the compact mode which helped.
If I had to wish for something it would be for some sort of tutorial/walkthrough. But yeah, time in jams is really limited.
Overall really good job, I enjoyed it :D
This is great. Ton of fun to play and great graphics. Congrats!
OMG, this was amazing!!! Beautifull art and animation!!!
And Noa, didn't know you were so good at voice acting. Thanks for sharing your crazy creations with us ;)
Love the minimalistic stylized aesthetic. The game idea is very original too. My only issue was that the pace was a bit too slow, I think that the game would be more fun at x2 speed. Other than that fun, cute game. Had fun experimenting with the cards.
Hey. This is awesome!!! The game idea is great. The graphics are clean and nice. And The amount of detail that the game has is amazing. Love the screenshake, particles and effects you implemented :)
Also the game is thrilling and makes you feel great when you hijack a better ship than your current one. Congrats on your game!
@secretpocketcat A neat expansion I can think about is literally expanding the play field gradualy and having bigger and more powerful ships come into play as time goes by.
Doing this will give the player a real sense of progression and make it super satisfactory to grab a bigger/better ship.
Also if you wanted to turn this into a non jam game I'll implement a mechanic that only allows you to hijack a ship after taking them down to a certain amount of hp. By doing so you set some neat rules, a bigger strategy factor and also a bigger reward to the player when he manages to finally hijack a big fat powerfull ship.
It's quite ambitious, but hope you like the ideas or gives you something to think and/or improve upon. Good luck ;)
@kamekai That's a great idea! Thanks for the feedback :D
There's no gameplay implications to the dissolve shader. I just wanted to show off my shader skills :P But its definately a fair point. Thanks for the feedback and kind words!
@guilb @fredr121 @gebowunjo @elfunck @sashbros Thanks for the praise and feedback!
@xesenix Corpses bounce against walls. But if for some reason you can't get one away from wall there's always plenty more souls to sacrifice :metal:
@mateusboga Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :)
@seanw Thanks! And you will definately see more shadery goodness on the next LDJAM
@dyzzyd Thank you! That means I did my job right ;)
@simon-rahnasto This kind of messages makes all the effort worth it!
@arvejeitor Be careful to say those kind of things in public! XD
@flaterectomy Hey there! Thank you very much! I always overshoot difficulty, so this time I was aiming to make it very accesible, simple and cool. But definately a bit more balancing would have been great. And yeah, I need to work on my background art skills. I'll be preapred for the next Ludum!
@eddie-li There's probably a better way, there always is. I can't really think of one though. Do you have any ideas?
@vimlark If I had more time I would have loved to implement an endless mode that unlocked after the main compact experience I wanted to create. Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
@eldogg Ohhhh. Thank you very much! Having you remember and realise the progress over time has literaly made my day. Grind is slowly paying off after all! And I also would have loved to add a third enemy, my body was completely ready for it too! It's hard being a solo dev in a jam. But hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it! See you in the next jam ;)
@kirke Thank you very much!hahaha
@sadzanenyama Thanks for the kind words and feedback :)
@publicidadeba Thanks for comparing me to those 2 awesome games and for the encouragement!
@peachtreeoath Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words. Also I'm glad that you like the upgrades as much as I do! :D
I totally agree that despawning corpses would give you a sense of urgency that would add a nice layer of gameplay on top of the existing mechanics. I'm not so sure about a moving circle though. It would accidentaly pick up some corpes for you. But there's no real way of knowing if it would work or not without testing.
@peachtreeoath Loved the roomba analogy XD
And yeah the stage swap could work, it's definately a good thought!
@secretpocketcat I also agree that the game is a bit too easy. Making the demon less powerful and making the knight run faster would have been the way to go.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words. If I ever continue this I'll definately take it into account :D
Unfortunately there's not much more I could have done. I was the only programmer and artist, I work on weekends and went to university on Monday. I finished the game 30m before the deadline. It's a miracle that I had all of this on time.
@nutomuh Hey. Thanks for the awesome review! Being overpowered was one of the goals of the design. But I understand how it made you feel bored instead of excited. You are probably a more experienced gamer than the target player I was aiming this game at. That being said I probably overshot the OP-ness of the daemon. Again, thanks for the review, I really love reading reasoned and well though impressions of my games, very insightfull! ;)
Oh wow. Really pretty and fun game! Congrats!
Awesome game! Really like the vibe and graphics. It reminds me in many ways to Enter the Gungeon which is great too!
The only thing that bothered me is that at the end of the round I got the same option twice... It sucks to really have no option to choose since both are the same.
But hey. As I said this game is awesome. Congratulations!
Very good funny game. Also I really dig the art! Congratulations!
This game is bananas! Jokes aside, this is great! The audio and voiceover is hilarious, the art beautiful, the idea great and the execution even better. One of the best games I played so far.
I tip my hat to you! Congrats and see you around ;)
Surprisingly complete. Good job guys!
Great stuff! Smart puzzles and good art!
I would have liked to more clearly see what can be interacted with and what can't be.
Anyways. Great entry!
The game looks phenomenal and it's fun. Couple things though: Audio would really really help. Also some cool particles would really help. Maybe having the gun fire automatically instead of clicking each time would have been a good idea too.
Congrats on your game though. Is really cool :)
Oh noooo, poor little elves :(
In all seriousness though the game is great. I has fun and made me chuckle. I was feeding gnomes to a deadly machine while saying Merry Christmas XD
The art and sound is also really good.
If I had to add something it will be some screaming sounds to the elves + some gore sound when you throw them into the machine. Some kind of clear objective/end goal.
But overall good creative entry :)
Fun game! Love to see them chikens grow! Controls are also pretty nice.
Some particles and more sound effects would really enhance the experience though.
But really cool game, congrats.
Cool fun game! Really dig the voxel neon look too!
This is a great idea! I had a lot of fun!
This was hilariously accurate. Good job. Fun game!
Guys! You've also come a long way! This is awesome. Really polished, good looking and funny! I had a great time. I love how you have expanded on the funny round looking creatures. I love them. Amazing stuff!
One question out of curiosity, is the voice of the beginning yours? It really fits (well all the audio fits great) but I really enjoyed the intro voiceover.
Ahhhh. This is SOOOO good. It feels almost like a finished game (although short). It was SUCH a joy to play! I grabbed my phone scanned the code, installed the game and just played all 13 levels without even blinking.
Seriously, the art, theme, design, execution, sound. This is just too good. My only tiny complaint is that if you mess up the level restarts, I would have prefered being able to correct my dumb mistake.
Add some new mechanics, polish it a bit more and you have a great game to proudly release. Congratulations and thanks for being awesome!!!
Definately a thinking man game. Really enjoyed it. A little bit too random for me. But still, great idea and great execution!
Great, super polished entry. Also the art is amazing, I really dig it! And it goes great with the theme.
Congratulations!
When are we getting the Android release ;)
Oh wow. I was completely blown away by this one! Can't even think about anything I would change...
Congratulations on your game!
Ahhhh. Love it! Great gamefeel and look! I had a lot of fun with this! Congrats!
Great stuff, I really like the sacrifice aspect of the game.
I don't understand why the bow has only 5 arrows though. The sword is much better just because of that.
Had fun, like the look of the game. Good job!
Well... That was... Different.
Still a lot of fun! I really enjoyed it. Congrats!
Ohhhh those controls are tight. Love it! Also the graphics and animation are also really good too!
I liked how hard the last level was. Congrats on your game, really enjoyed it!
This is definately a great idea! The execution feels a bit bland though. Something to spice things up would help. But now I can't really think about anything... Maybe boxes can continuously flow, some go and some come in. So you need to continiously adjust the ship value/weight on the fly.
Oh my this is great. Like really really great. The theme choice, game and level design are pure genious. I had a blast playing this. I was so sad when I reached the end, I wanted mooooooore.
This stuff has a lot of potential, I'll consider giving more thought to the art, effects and so on and you'll be onto something.
One thing about the controls. I believe that you don't need a running button, there's really no point to it. Instead I'd change the regular speed to the running speed and remove the run button.
Congratulations on your great great game, it is truly awesome!!!
Wooow, great stuff! I loved it. Art is great, setting is really cool, I like the idea and the game is really fun (a bit challenging at the beginning though).
Congratulations and looking forward to your next jam game!
Nice! Really appreciate the effort that went into vfx and details like screenshake.
Keep it on, congrats on your first ludum and see you in the next one! ;)
Only reached day 72. But I really really loved it, although this god can really be a dick at times XD. The game feels really complete and nice for a jam game.
Congrats on your entry, it's a lot of fun!
I love bullet hell games and I love this one! Also I was amazed on how much content there is here with the decision making, menus and so on!
Several things though: Menu is hard to navigate at first since it's not clear where the buttons are and what they do. Also Some particles and effects would have helped.
But really well done!
Nice idea and better execution. Really complete and fun. Congrats!
Game is fun, feels good and has an intresting concept. Good job! :D
Oh wow. Great graphics, great gameplay and a ton of fun to play. Really enjoyed it!
This is awesome! The sacrifice shuriken mechanic is not clear from the getgo but I think is easy to grasp after a couple tries.
Once I understood everything the game was super fun and rewarding! It feels so good to pop balloons and everything is so juicy and cool. I love it!
If you remove the sacrifice mechanic and add some more spice and stuff to it you are onto something. Looking forward to the official mobile release ;)
It was a joy to play.
Original, entertaining and fun. Can't really ask for more. Physics are a bit funky and graphics could be better. But still, the game itself is amazing. Congrats!
Smart and creative idea! Really enjoyed it, loved how challenging it was
Congrats!
I died at round 7, almost there :_(
I really enjoyed it though! Little astras are really cute, I almost felt bad sacrificing them. The rest of the art is great too!
Couple things that could be improved though. Adding some audio. The camera, sometimes is really hard to know whats going on since you can't really tell whats behind you and sometimes things get on the way (like the castle).
Other than that I would have prefered a faster pace in general and a faster animation for throwing the astras away. But hey this is a design choice and at the end is a matter of preference.
Really cool game, congrats!
As many others said the game looks phenomenal, the idea is quite quite good but the controls are a bit funky.
Also some particle effects, screen shake and some other gamefeel thingies would have helped.
But hey, this is a great game and I really enjoyed it. Congrats! :)
OMG this is great. Graphics, audio, design, theme, mechanics, everything is REALLY REALLY GOOD.
I may have simplified the controls though. Maybe UP arrow to jump and just one hero swapping button instead of 2.
Congrats on your entry!
This game is awesome!!! At first I got demolished but after some games I got used to it and had a blast! Still I would have prefered a bit of a slower pace.
Also the graphics look great (and oh boy I love those tentacles).
Congrats!
This is awesome! Great idea, well executed, cute graphics and lot's of content for a jam game!
I don't really like the movement though, it feels like you are walking on ice. I'd prefered a more snappy movement not driven by forces.
But still this is a really good. Congrats!!!
The game feels and looks great. Like seriously, I've seen comercially released games that look and feel way worse than this. You have real talent! As a matter of fact I've been following you on twitter for a while now for this same reason.
Also the idea of the game is superb, I find there are a couple issues though: enemies shoot often and give no feedback on when they are going to do so which leads to an excesive dodge, couple hits, dodge, couple hits loop. And it gets a bit tedious (mostly when you have a weak weapon). Also I think that the overall balancing is a bit off, but you are probably aware of that ;)
Overall `this is a phenomenal entry. I truly loved it. Congrats and keep rocking! :v:
Hey. This is a great idea and a phenomenal entry for being your first. I think you already have enough feedback so I will just say that you did a great job and see you around the next jam! :D
Great stuff. Everything looks and sounds great. Had a lot of fun untill my hand started hurting XD
Awesome game! Keep it up!
A little hard at first but really fun and rewarding after that. Congrats on your entry. It is really cool!
Great controls and even better aesthetic. And although the game is fun and has a good relation with the theme I feel like I've played this many times.
But hey, this is a freaking good entry. Congrats to you both :)
As others already said I don't really get it. I see no consequence to my actions and I feel like I don't have any clues that indicate me which animal should I sacrifice.
But still, cute game with a good idea behind. Also I loled at the pigh with the red bikini ;)
Omg, that was 100% unexpected. But hilariously fun!!! XD
Nice game with a smart twist to the tower defense games. Congrats :D
The juice and feel in this thing. Holly molly. I really enjoyed this one. Congrats!
Once you grasp it is pretty enjoyable. Congrats on the game guys!
Really good job. The game is fun, fast paced and really good looking.
A couple things that may help: - Controls felt weird. If you have only 2 weapons you could have a button to swap weapon and another one to shoot. - Sometimes I didn't know if I was doing damage or not - Jump feels a bit weird. I use this video on my 2D games ALL the time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KiK0Aqtmzc) - When doing the double jump reset the vertical velocity to 0 before adding the second jump force to have it actually go up when falling - More particles would have been great
It's a long list but I only made it since I really enjoyed the game and feel that it could be even beter. Congrats! ;)
This game is really cool and fun. I've played this kind of game before but I really enjoyed the twist you made to it adding the layers, different kind of organs and bones. That being said a bit of audio of organs and so on would have been lovely. But great game anyway :D
This game is awesome! Love how the game looks, how the tracks are built and how the camera follows you.
You seem to have a sprite sorting issue. I don't know what shader you are using but make sure you are using one that has ZWrite On.
Congrats on the game! ;)
Super original, fun and good looking. Congrats!
This game is amazing. Well designed, beautiful and polished! Congrats.
And just as a heads up version 1.1 in Windows doesn't seem to work. I go stuck in this screen: bug1.JPG
Version 1 worked fine :)
Very juicy, smart and addictive. Congrats!
@jordantanner Yeah. I only have 2 tres, a cube, the character and the alien. All the variation is achieved with custom shaders. The main ones are for the characters, trees and ground. But there are many others. I only use default materials on the UI and death particles
Holly shit guys. This looks and plays amazing. Such a brilliant design and gamefeel. In fact I liked it so much that I ended up playing to your previous 2 other jam games. Really cool stuff! Congrats and see you around next jam!
Really fun once you grasp it. Plus the game is really polished. Congrats!
This is super cool! I have no idea how you manged to pull off a multiplayer game in so little time!
The art is spectacular. For some reason the background is my favourite part and I couldn't stop looking. Got to love those flags with the red bright sun behind.
I think the gameplay is a bit less satisfying than it should. When you hit some one you only get a sound and then they drop dead. Some more punch, particles and controls responsiveness would have improved the overall feel.
That being said I had fun. Congrats :D
Great artstyle and fun gameplay. Good entry and goodluck on your kick starter ;)
Yooooo, those graphics are on point ;) Controls felt good and the game was fun. Congrats!
Cute and fun. Congrats!
Digging is a lot of fun. Graphics are cool. I had fun. What else can I ask? Good game and congrats! ;)
Fun, brutal and really good looking. Congrats y'all!
Very good, well rounded game. Nice graphics, feel, audio and polish!
This feels really polished, looks pretty and is fun to play. Congrats!
That art is killer! Terrific job. The narrative was really enjoyable too :D
Got to love Pico8 when put to good use. Game sounds and plays great. Had a lot of fun!
This was so much freaking fun!!! I played untill I unlocked all powers and I felt like a spider killer god.
For real I don't know if it was intentional or not but the game gets easier as you complete rounds, not the other way around. Which in a way is great since it makes you feel ultra overpowered and cool but at the same time it gets old after a while.
I discovered I was invincible when I realised that I could grenade a big group of spiders jump to the middle of the explosion, heal up to 100% and repeat.
But the crazy part gets when you unlock no cost grenades. At that point you can just walk through the field feeling like the god of destruction XD
Oh man I had too much fun with this. Congrats!
And oddly enough I also did a game half 2D half 3D. Give it a go if you want and rock on!
Got to love that trippy effect! Cool fun game, congrats!
Frenetic, fun beautiful game. Congrats!
Really like the take on the theme and the Agar.io like mechanics.
That being said I would have enjoyed faster gameplay and some particles and effects when collecting coins and eating other piggybanks.
That being said I enjoyed the game and congrats!
I'm getting some Titan Souls + Hyper light drifter vibes. Which is awesome! Congrtats and good entry!
Enjoyable game. Great art and mechanics, congrats!
I love some arcady goodness. Awesome game, great soundtrack and graphics. Really enjoyed it. Good job guys! ;)
Hi Dani. Glad to see you keep on killing it. Really fun game! Congrats and see you around ;)
The game may be rough around the edges but it's really enjoyable. Congrats on your first game! This is awesome. Now it's time to keep at it and improving little by little. The key is to have fun and enjoy what you are doing while you keep making those videogames. Again, congrats on your first jam and game and see you on the next Ludum Dare! ;)
Cool! And congrats on the porcedural generation.
Couple things though: -I think that if you x2 the speed of everything the game will be better -I recommend you setting the velocity directly instead of using AddForce for simple 2D games - Some sfx aren't very pleasant to hear... (maybe it was intentional, but just in case)
Nice game though!
I feel like the wolf of wall street! I had a lot of fun.
I inmediately understood what was going on and what was my gameplan but the UI made it a bit hard on me. A way to sell all would have been nice, the num pad didn't work, maybe a way of adding money with premade buttons of fixed values. I don't really know, but there is a lot of unused screenspace that could be used for other stuff. Maybe even plotting some values.
Well this is me just giving some random ideas in case you feel like further developing it.
Again, I really enjoyed it :D
Really like the looks and idea. But as people have poinjted out a little bit more responsiveness and gamefeel polish would have been welcome.
But good job anyway!
Really dig the artstyle and drawings. The game is fun too! But as people said having some things to spice things up would be nice. Anyway, congrats on the game!
Hey. This was amazing! I really see this as a mobile game if you polish it even more and add more content! I think is the game I enjoyed playing the most so far, it's a lot of fun! Love the art and vfx. Specially the parry effect, it feels so darn good! My only concern is that skills don't feel that usefull since you can't block while you are using them, so you end up taking damage when you use them in later levels.
Also I'm extra surprised to see that you are also a solo developer. Congrats man!
The game is hard. But very enjoyable and beautiful. Congrats!
Love the art and enjoy the game. Really good entry. Congrats!
Really dig the artstyle and combat. Slashing enemies feels darn good! Congrats! :D
I really dig the artstyle and pixelart. Pretty, coherent and pleasant to look at. The controlls feel a little bit off. They feel a bit unresponsive and heavy. Also having the T key for dialogue felt like an odd choice.
I enjoyed the game though. Congrats!
Great gameplay, clean style, nice storytelling. I really enjoyed it :D
Complex at first but holly molly, what a great game
Best game I played so far for this jam. I don't really have much else to say. What an amazing work, really inspiring stuff.
Reached level 45 and 1792 souls. Probably not much but shit got intense at the end :P
This game is huuuge. Well done. A shame that you had no time to put some audio in.
This is incredible! Graphics, gameplay, music, design and don't even get me started with the AI, like how do you even put it together in so little time?
The only thing that slightly bothered me is how slow characters walk. But still this is the best game I've played so far.
Great idea and great execution. Congrats!
Simply awesome!
Fantastic! Great idea and great execution! You sir got talent!
The only negative thing I found is that sometimes (mostly when the ball is near a wall) it tends to be super hard for the game to let you shoot in the direction you intend.
Really cool game! The tower defense part caught me off guard at first but it turned out to be a lot of fun. The one thing that bothered me is that cats really get in the way, I know that this is the way it's suposed to work but you can't really do anything about it and at times cats can end up completely blocking your path and thats pretty much an instant Game Over.
Great idea and great execution. I love to see big teams like yours coming together to create awesome polished games like this!
Cool stuff. It would be fun to have some goals or objectives :D
A bit slow at times but phenomenal entry I greatly enjoyed this!
Nice game! I also did a car game with unity. I feel your pain brother, screw wheel colliders XD
@listonos It's up now. You are fast my dude! ;)
@krammetje I know, the same thing is bothering me since the begining. But I haven't found a way around it... Even Rocket League works like my game.
@listonos Yeah, freaking car games are a nightmare to balance, even more so when they are flying around at 300km/h XD. Thanks for the feedback though :)
@elHombreBanana Thanks
@peachtreeoath Not really since I haven't got a chance to play it but it definately has simillarities. How would you solve the punishing feeling? Adding intermediate checkpoints? And thanks for the praise, you are too kind ;)
@Iluvatar @Bpanev12 @Killnaprimer Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. You are completely right. With so much development time I didn't even know what was good or bad anymore. Now, a couple days later I can finally see how bad it actually was... Thats why I adjusted some car and wheel variables and now the game is muuuuch better.
If you feeling like giving the game a second chance you can find the new version in itch.io :D
@Pietro Ferrantelli Thank you very much for the kind words! And by the way I love your work, you are amazing!
Amazing storytelling and game concept. But I kinda struggled with the baseball part
This is technically awesome and a lot of fun too. Congrats on this!
Cool concept but I don't find the game very entertaining. The game is based in a simple line, a more intricate path would have been nice. Also controls are weird and having to click the next round button all the time is a bit annoying.
I dig the models though :P
Super cool graphics, audio and gameplay. The design is not that great though. I feel like there is little you can do to protecto your gnomes.
Cool game! The ambientation was awesome. And btw, I also did a car game. Glad to not be the only one who had to deal with the freaking wheel colliders XD
Fun and addictive gameplay! But I think it would be even more fun if there was a way to discard cards and get new ones
What a great interpretation. This was awesome! Thanks for creating this masterpiece :P
Amazing work and amazing game!
Great game my dude. What a great idea.
The graphics and controlls feel a bit off but it's still a lot of fun
