You got everything right in this game. You made a happy *horror* game. The dialogues the friends have are hilarious. Their shadow adds more depth to the game as the player has to go and clear their backs. Smart design choice. 10/10
You made this using JavaScript and CSS? That's awesome! I didn't understand the game at first but after the third run I liked it. Looks like a decent way to kill time.
Slick UI. The game has the right amount of difficulty. I lost twice before I won. The small critique that I have is that the game doesn't punish the player for letting the population get infected. Keeping the *cost* of victory (deaths) to minimum could also be an additional target.
Honestly, even without the timer the game was fun - because the plants wither. It's clearly a well made game, I liked it. It's a pretty relaxing game. Good job!
The concept is definitely novel but the art is spot on too! The characters, background and UI all go together very well.
The background music fits this game well. Like some others, I too struggled with the controls. Otherwise, this is a good game. Nice work!
The graphics and the sound was genuinely good. Nice work!
You're definitely on to something here. It has potential to be a good stealth game.
@greytyphoon Thanks for the feedback. I was going to implement variations in projectile spawning (a barrage of red balls - much faster from one direction, red balls coming quickly from all sides sequentially etc.) but a silly bug in the last few hours ate up the time for it. I barely finished the UI and restart state in time. And regards to highscore, Project Tiny (which requires total Unity ECS) doesn't have a UI solution yet. In one of their samples they used images (of digits) as scores. I wasn't sure what moody meant in this context but now I know. And yeah, for quick tests I prefer web games too.
@a1gemmel @nicksmaddog Thanks for the feedback. The difficulty doesn't increase. If you're interested here's the story why I missed out on it: In the final hours theplan was to implement basic UI and then resume work on the mechanics but just before that I finished limiting the player within the view bounds. That however caused a bug which resulted in the player jumping at a non-constant rate. I looked in the wrong places for a long time before realising the bug was because of incorrect operator assignment (instead of increment). This fiasco ate vital time. Bonus: The Project Tiny's Web Assembly build's UnityEngine.Random() is broken, so if you go to play again, the seed will be the same.
@madbookstudios If I had been more productive, I would've replace the capsule with some kind of humanoid to give the illusion the character is being attacked. Great foundations, indeed. I might make this into a proper mobile game.
@polypickle You're right. The plan was to spawn the balls with a delay between them, so they would be placed at different locations but I ran out of time. I can work on it now and make it a full game.
@ruoyu ECS is great. It's like a logically broken up MonoBehaviour. However, Project Tiny is not there yet at the moment but I like the idea behind it.
@tupto @gamedoodles Thanks for the feedback guys. I will most likely make this into an arcade phone game.
Art looks great. The characters stand out on their own. The multi-coloured hands and legs were a nice touch.
I enjoyed the game and any online game in 48 hours is commendable. Really nice work!
Excellent game! The self expanding nature of Medusa gave the game a lot of depth unlike traditional save the vip games.
This game is surprisingly polished for a 48h game. Beautiful work, it's ready to be published in app stores.
I'm not overstating at all by calling this a Masterpiece! Wonderful game! I 100% recommend making this into a full-published game.
The characters look adorable. And the blood sugar concept is funny and original. What engine did you use to make the game?
Brilliant concept!
