That's a very nice one! Congrats. At first it was hard to tell what's going on (since I was too lazy to read the description) but later on things clicked at once. I really like the idea, it's fresh and nicely executed. The cops are a bit hard to deal with later on but I guess that's the point :) Great work !
It was kinda hard to control, but I really liked the idea! Cool game overall!
Well that was great ! Congrats !
Very cool one !
I liked the game ! It's a very nice idea, tho at first it's a bit confusing to understand what is what :) Nice work !
Looks cool on the screens, unfortunately it doesn't run on my machine. (Nothing happens after launching .exe - I'm on Windows 8 Pro x64 with Ati FirePro gfx so maybe that's the cause)
Yup same thing for me, can't get it to run :/
Pretty cool but it was hard to spot the guys and act according to what's going on. Nice mood and idea tho ! Keep up the good work !
Yup it would be great if you could port it. I also have no ability to play it due to me being a poor bastard :)
It's kinda nicely done, but the fight system needs more work. Since now either if you have the shield or not makes no difference since the time delay when opponent attack with your shield up or down is the same (since he isn't attacking if you're holding the shield up, but you need to block it when he swings, so it gives you one swing back if you're precise enough to block each of his shots).
Also don't introduce the new elements (like the sword) while enemies are attacking you before you know how to pick the sword up or even where it is.
Other than that it's pretty cool ! Congrats !
It's pretty cool. At first it was confusing to find out what each ability does (it would be better to describe them briefly rather than just having numbers) but when I found out what's going on it was pretty fun. Nice work !
That's a very cool game! I like how it's quite similar thing to what I did, but a totally different take on it at the same time.
It was fun to play and destroy the things. Only thing that bugged me was - It was hard to figure out which weapon I do have selected at the moment at first.
Very nice stuff, congratulations !
For me using Unity for this type of game makes it hard to play. The whole box thing to enter commands to which you need to change focus is a bit of a pain. It would play much better as a regular Windows console app.
Thanks guys! I just have updated the link to the Linux version. I hope it works since I didn't have a machine with Linux to test it out.
Also I know it may be a bit performance heavy but I didn't have time to optimize it more. I came up with a better way to calculate the "stuff" but it was too painfull to implement at the end. I guess that's the lesson for me. The .exe one runs much faster than web version as well.
Thanks so much guys ! Surely the game requires a lot of more work to be great, but that's the best I could come up with during those three days on my own.
Thanks for all the feedback, I agree with it and I'll take it into my heart!
@bentog I did it all in Unity, so making the physics was just the case of creatively using what they provide with the engine. Same goes for the water and skybox, those come bundled with Unity as example assets. All I had to do was to come up with the idea for the game, code it and make all the geometry for the island/objects, few textures for the effects and to make this stuff to work and swap when needed. I recorded sound on my headset and edited it in Adobe Audition (which to be honest I've launched for the first time in my life). I used basic materials without any textures or UV mapping on objects to save time. Objects are reused and just slightly remodelled or rescaled/rotated to get the variety.
That's my first Ludum Dare or any game jam entry to be honest and I've spent all three days on it with regular sleep and breaks for walking the dog and eating so it was pretty busy time :)
I've been working in the "AAA" biz for good few years so I guess the speed comes with the experience in it and those "you need to make milion times for tomorrow" moments. Now I'm trying to do something on my own and have fun :)
Hey that's a very nice idea ! I really liked it. You should put more time into it and make a more polished version!
That's a really nice one. Congrats !
