| 2018 | 42 | Running out of space | Bloody Cell | compo | 465 | 3.20 | 3.44 | 2.87 | 3.12 | 2.94 | 2.94 | 2.50 | 3.00 |
The combat is just a piece of video (just kidding). Better to increase the chance to treasure rooms, I don't really fall in troubles with package space because I died way earlier. So sad. Overall, well done!
I am really bad at playing this game -- died quite quickly for the five tries. But the story is really attractive -- your choice is right!
The art style is great! The bounce design of bullets killed me for at least 10 times (no.....) Just a little suggestion then. I think that enabling jump in the air makes the input more smooth (still 1 jump per time) because the player is running toooooo fast, it is easy to get out of the platform.
Can't believe all those models, textures, ascii arts and stories are done within 48 hours! Really astonishing work!
It is way harder than I thought, but I should say really addictive! Very unique idea, and properly set up a place for burp. A bit disgusting but we players not ordinary people!
Creative work and elegant models! But I am quite confused by the judgement of gameover. Despite littering, I am not sure why I suddenly lost in the room.
@erasmus-crowley Can you also create the html build or Mac build? I don't think that is a big issue with Unity (unless there is platform specific shaders or apis). I'd like to have a try but don't want to build the Unity project locally.
@erasmus-crowley Thank! Just tried the Mac build, the size of 70mb really scared me (blink)! The bgm is interesting, really has a sci-fi theme. The theme is also well fit. But just like @xyntell said, it was a bit of polish. View angles and all those stuffs. And a bug pointed out -- though using space can speed up, you still have to wait for the same time until the next pattern comes. Just a little guess, you use coroutine and WaitForSeconds to generate the block?
One of the best I've seen! First person sight is a nice idea and remind me of a game called SkyDiver. At the time I though it was too easy, the acceleration before the hyper jump killed me.
I really like the whistle for waiting! The sound effects are great. Design for spikes is somewhat innovative. But the theme is a bit loosely connected. Keep on working!
I can see the potential is HUGE!!! Animations are great. Knights are cute and I don't really want to kill them. So sad.
@ytaha Good game and I don't think I need to say those praise words again -- so go steam!
Can't make it to the 3rd level, maybe I am too bad at playing. The theme is closely connected but a bit of polish. Great idea!
The idea is super! Even got virus here. But like most people mentioned, the second level is really hard. Meanwhile, the audio is a bit of polish. Overall, well done!
Just two little suggestions. First, let the bullet flies slower. Now there is no way to escape from that. All you could do is to shot as quick as possible. The second thing is to separate the rotation input and the movement input, making the experience more smooth. Generally speaking, a good arcade style game!
Wow, so good to see the webgl version. The music is great. Mechanism is simple but addictive. Stylized models and fonts are another shining spot. But wondering about whether player can turn his/her sight to the enemy aimed.
PS: Do you mind to upload a link to download the background music? I really enjoyed it!
Somewhat hard to judge. Nice models. Looping bgm is a bit boring. Falling buildings still bounce even though I set the level to 0. Generally speaking, some improvements to make it not so polish could lead a long way! Well done!
@ethan-nachreiner v1.2 mac version cannot work. (my os is 10.12)
The game is not interesting -- not for its mechanism, but the operation system. First, player can't jump while they are moving horizontally. Secondly, player can be easily stuck into platforms. The random levels will create some impossible structures to player. For example, platforms lining up to the sky. Keep on working!
@smilewood Really sorry!!! I've just found out I set the page on Itch.io to Draft. It is my first time so I am also learning to use all these things... I've fixed it now! (Fullscreen recommendation, or UI maybe squeezed)
@ilseroth I realized the same problem after a try without the fullscreen. It was the shamy bug I have to admit. I tried to make the ui resolution-fit but somehow seemed I failed. I'll try to fix the bug and see whether I can upload the bug-fixed one (I think according to the rules I can?). There are also bugs like the replay won't clear some data...... I'll get them fixed as quick as possible.
For camera shake, I rotated the impulse actually towards the source every time. I think the problem is due to adding up multiple impulses within a short time period (forgive me for my poor english). It is my fault, I might should set the camera shake smoother at the beginning.
Overall, thanks for pointing out such problems! I'll see whether I can get a new update due to the rule.
@smilewood Thanks for suggestion! I like the explosion effect too. They are all physics driven! Not particle effects! But data balance is an issue due to multiple comments. My fault. I originally wanted the generating cancers to blocked the movement path of player. And the cells chasing behind. But the damage of the weapon is too high. I wish I could give a quick fix today, however, another deadline hangs over my head’... so sad
@stateoff Really appreciate for the technique issues pointed out! I think I get to know the problem for the UI now. You mentioned ESC to exit, I didn't add it because Mac allows a quick exit by command + Q, but obviously I forgot the Windows users (crying). Then as I mentioned in the description, art is my pain, but you've hit the point. Round-angle cubes with idle animations such as squeezing absolutely make the game looks better. I'll try to learn how to implement this in the future. Keep on working!
@truc-e I soon realized that a Chemotherapy when enemies getting too much can bring the player to the top level immediately. So the difficulty curve is on your hand (blink). Thanks for playing!
@wolfrug Thanks for playing! The purple cancer tumors are designed to be tanky, therefore there will be no space finally for the player.
You're right, cancer is totally beatable and I truly wish so because both of my grandparents are suffering that. The reason for not doing it is super simple -- no time. I'll do these improvements though after the combo, maybe based this mechanism!
@raccoon-js Achievement unlocked -- New Bug Discovered! Just kidding, but thanks for pointing out! I'll work on that and sorry for the bad experience.
@raccoon-js Bug has been fixed! @ilseroth The movement of player isn't an intension. It was just a bug. Sorry for that.
There should be some input response so that as player I can feel I just shot/heal/controlled sth. But I understand this will a lot for 48h. Impressive features! Quite a pity that I can't find a connection to the theme.
@gary-beebe Same problem with @jose-rodriguez . But from my experience so far I should say that the modeling is nice. All you need might be better sound effects and an "space" bgm. Well done!
Way too hard for me. Impressive art works and audios.
PS: I'm confused by the url because it seems the name is untitled-shrinking-shooter (lol)
I can only passed the first level... so sad. Anyway, good work. Possible improvement can be, well, the feedback of jumping.
Easy to play with, nice 8-bit graphics, well done!
I love the retro sound effects! The idea of portal enclosing the area is somewhat weird in the first place but soon get familiar. The shooting feedback is nice with death animations. Might think about adding up some shooting recoil feedback.
Could you please build the mac or html version also? Wanna a try!
Nice art work. But repetitive dialogs make it a bit boring. Keep on working!
I was confused for the first round because of no instructions but soon got addicted. Wonderful graphics and funny audios. Couldn't expect more!
The music is pretty good, fitting the atmosphere of space. Theme is well-explained in both ways -- space and space. However, the input system does not really respond well. Instructions might not be clear enough. Overall, nice level design!
I like the ending, a good satire. And I also agree on @tiberiusuciu the balance is certainly a place to focus on. Finally, the trigger area to dump the garbage is a bit buggy. Sometimes, the little ship gets stuck and fail to dump, wasting the time. Overall, nice work!
