:D
Great puzzle exploration game, love the evolving avatar, golden upgrades was a really nice touch
Loved the random player creation, as though the player or avatar is evolving to adapt, perhaps not the case but still a great feature
Nice game but the bugs put me off, would like to play a more polished version though
Theres a great deal of work done here, good game, the character movement or physics needs work, felt too sticky while moving around. Other than that great job :)
Best game ive played so far, great job!
Yeah sorry guys for the bugs, had to ignore them to get finished, thanks for the comments, were definately doing a post compo and as soon as its ready we will let the LD community know :D
Difficult to say on this one, I liked what you were trying todo but it all seemed too chaotic and perhaps without purpose
Cool idea, very difficult game but thats a good thing :)
This is a great game from the a stand point of the graphics and audio, but I really could not work out how to play the game, I placed objects in rooms but generally I didnt get the strategy required, maybe an intro level to get the noodle cooking first. Great potential
Really addictive, in the 2nd dungeon my only criticism is that while i understand the light region of the hero being bigger it was almost impossible to spawn monsters as there was too little screen space considering walls etc. Great game!
So Awesome, Im in love with the villain vs hero rpg idea. Just need a theme tune and its perfect!
I really got into this game, its the first one Ive rated, only just finished the jam, anyway this game has got a real addictive mechanism. I would say that it took me a few mins to work out what was going on and how to interact to good feedback would be to buff the user interface :)
Nice game, wasnt entirely sure what i was doing though :(
Mouse and forward control really didnt work, great art style and idea seemed to have potential but let down by controls
Cool game, I also got connection lost in the middle of the game
Addictive and fun
Luv it, i kept getting the feeling of not wanting to play though, then I realised there was no soundtrack, a healthy dose of beats and this game would have you addicted for hours, I can see a kind of multiple level game in different locations with evil deeds become worse and worse. Good game:)
Great game, two issues, the input system felt weird, i know it says customise you own but I was unable to find that menu. Also not too sure about the movement and shooting relationship. Much fun though, love the style.
Beautiful and interesting but was very laggy, im running in firefox, is this an issue?
Loved the humor, I thought for a second we were going to play the hipsters but to my delight we get to kill them!
I really liked it, was the newspaper/shooter idea meant to be political? Great insight. Good gameplay.
Thank you all for you comments, we have tried to address the performance issues with the web build by downgrading the shaders, if you could let us know if it has had any effect it would be muchly appreciated. We have already begun planning for the post jam version, with more 'trees' and finer tuning to the movement tackling the issues of slippery and the awkward unforgivingness. Great idea with the FOV and we will experiment with that to see if it improves gameplay. Thanks again :D
The movement does need tweaking but we also didnt want the game to be too easy. Yeah the intro sequence movement was intentional, thought it would be a nice twist. Thank you to 'sick' for the FYI about screen.lockCursor. Checkpoints idea is a good one but the falling aspect is the difficulty in the game, death has no meaning here, only starting again.
Awesome to hear someone made it to the blue tree, Ive been working on the friction for the post jam version, Ive also concluded that friction is not the only culprit, upon landing the input keys needed to be nulled for approx 0.2 - 0.5 seconds to allow players to 'reset'
Love this game, definitely a good game to port to mobile platforms
That was awesome, played all the way to the end, wanted more. Only shame is it seems like the enemies dont attack you :(
Random, but not random, mind explodes 0_o
Great visual style and very simple yet effective gameplay
Great game but the mouse mechanic didn't really sell it for me, possibly some tweaking or scrap the mouse n keyboard n go for game pad! analogue sticks would be awesome for this.
This game is really great, couple of ideas, obvious point people have pointed out is the over powered units. Either adjust that perhaps something like stage 2,3..... for when you fully push back the enemy. Would also suggest an audio manager so that when (say 5+) sounds are stacked it doesnt stack any more, epic livid audio stack :D
Cool idea but left and right rotate buttons didnt seem to flow for me, perhaps using the mouse to rotate to cursor would get the player more in the flow
Liked the level editing, movement was a bit difficult though
Seriously cool game, run slide slice, simple and yet soooooooooooo addictive
Cool game, Needs a simpler instruction set but once I understood what to do I thought it was a good idea
This is awesome, having never played an iso game before the movement learning curve is quite steep but once you get there is a totally awesome game!
Good idea, innovation and theme were very well executed
I love this game, in my top favourites, i cant help but want to move the camera though
Cool game but firing left or right was near impossible
Love this, really makes me want to bust out streets of rage again. Great Game.
Great game, not anything to fault here, innovative idea, gameplay progression was perfect, just as i was thinking this would be scary with enemies there they were :D
I love the idea. Though a balance of minimalism would be needed perhaps adding cars with bright lights would keep players to the sidewalks.
Man this game is hard. Great concept
Very cool
So cool! I presume there was a rock paper scissors thing going on but instead I rapid tapped the change move button and launched when the signal came :D Love this game!
