This is a very nice game! It looks and sounds great and the controls are good, but obviously could be more polished. I was wondering where the sacrifice part comes in, then I came to that part in the game and honestly, I think its excellent how the game teaches the mechanics to the player one by one, and then asks them to get rid of them to progress through the game. Overall a solid entry.
Very interesting game!
Voice acting is top notch. The first time I just mashed the button and then I went back and listened to all their voices
Very fun and simple game! I love the strategy that comes with choosing abilities at the beginning of each wave
This is a very nice game! I really like the graphics and the gameplay
Very nice art and gameplay :)
This is an excellent game! The theme was done very well and it is also very fun :) The pixel art graphics look very nice as well
Interesting game! The graphics and audio are really nice! And I like these kind of games hehehehe....
I really love this game! It looks great, and the 2d/3d aesthetic is something I really like. The "animations" on each attack is very nice. And the voice acting is great as well. This may be one of the highest ratings I've given to any game so far!
This is extremely creative and unique!
This is a very cool and interesting game! It took me some time to figure out what to do but it is definitely a very creative entry!
This game is amazing!! I really love the art style, which is very clean and professional-looking, extremely impressive for a game made in 3 days. The levels are all well-designed and ramp up nicely in difficulty. After finishing the last level I went back and got three stars on all levels. Overall an excellent and polished game!
Cool game! Definitely an interesting concept, and the graphics look nice, although I think the bullets should be a little bigger. I think it is too hard, because it's pretty much impossible to time it so that all soldiers crossing to a new cover will be safe, so its actually easier to focus on just one soldier and forget about the others. I really like how there are X marks on the ground to show where they will move to each time. Overall great job!
Cool game! I like how part of the challenge is figuring out which items could belong to which category and which are useless. The art is simple but it works, and the music is pretty nice. The only thing that confused me was that items can only be thrown away when the balloon starts lowering, at first I thought only certain items could be thrown away. Great work
Cool game! Looks very nice and the music is pretty cool. Great job!
Pretty nice game! The graphics look nice, it feels pretty polished, having to sacrifice the guys adds a lot of challenged. Overall great job!
This is a really unique game. It's pretty challenging at has a lot of strategy involved. I think this would be cool if there were more boards with different hazards and stuff. Great job!
Wow, this is a really fun and creative game! I live the visuals and the level design is excellent. This game mechanic is very creative and unique.
I really like this game!! It is very fun and polished! Extremely impressive for 48 hours. I also love the music.
Very fun game! I love the two-player aspect and it also looks very nice.
This is a really nice puzzle game! It's challenge was pretty much perfect :)
Pretty fun, nice job
Interesting. Great spooky atmosphere. It looks pretty cool. I had trouble picking up some of the items. When I was on the girl I tried picking up the doll in the chest and I couldn't so I moved on, came back later after searching the rest of the room and I could pick it up. I think some kind of feedback on when you can pick up items would be great. Maybe the crosshair enlarges or changes icon, or the item gets highlighted, something to let us know we are looking at something we can pick up. Otherwise a pretty interesting game
@dacri Yeah, I reached the end
Interesting take on the theme. Having to press Z once to load an arrow, and again to fire stuck out to me as a weird design choice. Why not just press Z once to shoot an arrow? Turning around is a little jarring, as others have mentioned. Landing on top of zombies seems a little glitchy, because I got stuck on them multiple times. The idea has a lot of potential, and overall it's a pretty cool entry
Edit: Great to see you fixed most of these issues in the post-jam version!!
Really cool game here.
Controls are solid and feel great. Levels are well designed. I really don't have anything negative to say about it.
Destroying stuff with the shopping carts is really fun. I love the blocky art style. It was a little unclear what each of the upgrades do and getting stopped every time you hit a shopper gets annoying, but otherwise it's a creative and fun game.
Very well polished! The art is amazing and has a lot of charm. I love how fat the grim reaper is. Gameplay seems simple but is pretty challenging. Overall an excellent game!
It's really hard. I would suggest the enemies being bigger and slower.
Cool! I'm not sure where the theme comes in but nice work on the 3D modeling.
I love that you got dialogue at the beginning, and you included the option to skip it. The animation and pixel art looks and feels very nice. Some kind of music or sounds would of course be good, but I guess you didn't have time for that. And I totally relate to uploading a game and feeling like there's a bunch of tweaks that you want to make. Also, I didn't have any trouble picking up the hearts, that feels fine. Excellent work!
This is pretty cool, it's almost like a mini zelda game. The four characters all feel quite different but each is fun to use. I like that you have to sacrifice one to get to each area until you face the final boss with one character. I think it would better fit the theme of the previous ld "sacrifices must be made", but that's an issue with the current theme in my opinion, it's too similar. It seems a shame that you made a dialogue system and used it only at the beginning, you could find random npcs that say stuff to you. The music is very nice as well. Excellent work
@zanyg Thanks! Some of my ideas for more items were a gold magnet, turbo minecart, and minebot beta. Glad you like it
@trevor-shoe What's broken with my source code link? It works fine for me. Does it only let me in maybe? Edit: I fixed it
@franciszek-pyrc There’s two fullscreen buttons you can have. The one you select on your itch.io page (transparent button) keeps the game the same size but in a giant black window, so I turn that one off. The other is fullscreen button in your player settings in Unity (blue square button with no feedback) that puts the game in fullscreen properly.
TLDR: use the fullscreen button in unity’s player settings, not the one provided by itch.io
Interesting and creative idea
I killed them all in the name of egg
This was pretty nicely made. The only issue I had was in choosing how to do my life at the start. I didn't realize that you click multiple times to change the color so my first playthrough was all fun. Some music would have been nice. The art looks good and overall great job.
@kristinnes I hear the music now. It is a little quiet tho
Very nice work on the graphics. Everything looks clean and polished. Honestly was a little confusing but putting together a huge army is a lot of fun.
This is an amazing entry
Definitely one of the more creative takes on the theme I've seen.
I love the variety in enemies. Especially the wizard guys and the giant guys.
It's cool how there's a white slash when you swing your sword and the ripple effect when you kill an enemy. Those details really add to the overall experience.
It took me 7 rounds to escape :)
Excellent work
This was pretty fun. I don't know if you made the music but it fits well. I like how the coins are in some tough spots and we have to quickly choose whether or not to grab them (although coins seem useless in this world so why bother?). It seems like the level changes each time you die. I'm not sure if it's randomly generating or if there's a few predesigned levels but it's a nice touch
It's pretty rough and unpolished, but I really like the design of the enemies such as the red guys and the tank. And I like how you have to give up your health to buy weapons, that fits the theme really well.
Pretty original idea and an interesting take on the theme. Great work with the 3d modeling. I found the isometric view kinda confusing, like it was hard to tell exactly where the walls are and how tall they are. If it was properly 3d it may have worked better.
Amazing, possibly my favorite out of the games I played
This game is amazing! The visual style looks great, I think the controls work very well, and the sound and music is really cool. The puzzles are also very well designed. I did get stuck at part with a tall tower, and inside the tower is three burnable sticks from the ceiling. I managed to light them to make the platform around the edge of the tower come down, but I can't figure out what to do next, but I would love to see the rest of the game
This is very fun and polished! I liked it a lot! The pixel art is very well done as is the music and sounds. I also like how you have to block off the enemies. I couldn't get past the last level (I think) with monkeys in cages because there were just WAY too many lizards. But maybe it was my fault for spawning them by breaking all the blocks. Overall a very fun game!
I actually really love this! It has real potential as a puzzle game concept! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the nodes floating off screen, that seems a little unfair to me, but otherwise this is a great game!
Surprisingly fun
Well that was something. Somehow this isn't even the first game about sperms I have played so far. It was pretty funny though good job.
This is really cool! The rope physics are done well and I like how you have to swing the diver around to collect bubbles and stuff. Also I love how it gets darker the deeper you get and you have to use your lights to see, it fits very well with the theme. The visuals and audio are also very good. Overall a fun game!
Fun game! The controls are very good and the levels are well made. The ball-throwing mechanic is fun and interesting and it fits the theme well. My only real criticism, is there should be a visual indication of whether a button has to be pressed with the player or with the ball - or just allow any button to be pressed either way, because it seems like an unnecessary restriction. Otherwise I enjoyed this game! I especially liked the boss fight at the end!
I really love this game! It's just so fun! It feels very satisfying to lay out a long path for the miners that takes them past a bunch of diamonds. Unfortunately it made my computer crash twice for some reason but what I played was very enjoyable. I just wish I could play for longer without worrying about crashing. Overall a solid entry!
Edit: Also I forgot to mention, I love the voice acting!!
This is an extremely interesting and creative take on the theme! It is very well executed and immersive as well. I had to make a facebook account for this game but it was very much worth it!
I think it would be great if there was a way to go back to a previous page, or to see a history of pages I've seen, because it's possible to forget a person's name and not be able to get back to where you were. Otherwise this is an amazing experience!
I did notice one possible error, which is that z---a s--------a was written with two different last names, I wasn't sure if that was intentional.
This is very cool! The graphics and music are very nice! It reminds me a lot of QWOP. I'm just glad you don't have to control the legs as well because that would be truly chaotic. I'm proud to say I reach about 15 meters. Also I like that you included a restart button, because it's so much easier to swim down when you can start upside down.
Nice game, the artwork is very good and it feels challenging but not too difficult
I really like this game! The inflating mechanic is simple and fun and executed very well. The art style is very nice and it's overall a fun game. I also love the voice acting. My only issue was that it's not possible to play on a trackpad, and I had to find a normal mouse to play it, but that could be solved simply by having a keyboard alternative for inflating along with right click. Otherwise this was a very enjoyable experience!
Cool game, I really like the low-poly art and it is very well made
You should consider cutting out all of the anticipation on the attacking animation - make it so the full arc of the swing is the first frame. Trust me, it will make attacking feel so much more satisfying. Otherwise this is a cool game, I really like the art style and it is fun to explore although I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing.
Very fun game! I love how the world rotates around and "zooms in" when you dig deeper, it fits the theme very well! Also I love how the timer adds a real frantic energy to the game. What is the story reason for the timer I wonder? Is our dwarf so addicted to gold that he suffers from withdrawal if he doesn't have a constant supply? Music is a bit repetitive but better than nothing. Overall I like this game a lot!
Nice chill experience. The art is very nice and it is a creative take on the theme.
It feels WAY too difficult to buy anything from the shop because there's just not enough time to find the rocks. Also I don't get why I am taking random damage and I don't understand what the leaves and crackers do, I think the mechanics could use some more explaining. However the UI for the shop is actually pretty well made and polished and the music is good.
Interesting experience, the art style is very cool and I like how the animations were done. The audio sounded very crackly to me but it could be my own computer or browser so I don't want to rate low in audio for that reason. Overall a cool little game
Very fun and interesting game! It took my a while to figure out what I should even be doing but when I did is is pretty fun! I love how it quickly descends into chaos while you try to keep on top of everything although I would say it is slightly too hard. Also the pixel art and music is really good! Overall I like this game a lot!
To be brutally honest, it doesn't feel very good to play, mostly because of the slow movement speed and the floaty jump. If you just make the player move faster and the gravity stronger it would be like 10x more fun. Otherwise I like the variety of levels and the visuals are not too bad.
I really like this. Great job on the tutorial at the start explaining everything. The only thing I was really confused about was the + and - buttons under the starship button (do they change how much stuff comes on the ship? Why would I lower it?) Otherwise it's a cool base-building game. I really like how building stuff deeper costs more money but protects you more from meteors, it fits with the theme well. I did wish there was an end goal to work towards, because I found it too easy to keep building stuff and didn't feel like I was in much danger from the meteors. Overall a nice game!
Edit: I see you explained the thing I was confused about in the description!
I enjoyed that a lot, the 2D/3D mechanic is fun and interesting and well executed. Graphics are alright, they get the point across. The only bug I found was that if I rotated the plane so the ground is at an angle, it thinks I'm in the air and won't let me rotate it back so I have to restart the level. Overall a fun game!
Very creative and unexpected use of the theme!! I like this a lot
Haha this is really cool actually, as a "deep thoughts" generator. The graphics and sound are also very well done. I like it!
Here is a quote I made with this: "The earth is like a puppy; young and destructive."
(Also side note, if you only have a .exe, please don't say it's for mac and linux as well!)
This is really fun! The controls feel great and the 3d art is very well made! I also really like how you can buy upgrades after each level! I think it would be cool if the levels were more different from each other, maybe if they went backwards and forwards as well as to the side so they could have more interesting layouts. Overall a very enjoyable game!
I love this, it feels very polished and the graphics are cute. I can't stop moving for some reason, even when I'm not pressing anything I move to the left constantly, which makes it extremely difficult to play. But I really enjoyed this game anyway.
Very nice game!! The pixel graphics are simplistic but appealing and the controls feel responsive. I think the difficulty feels a little unfair at times - sometimes rocks fall on me before I can react and sometimes I get stuck in a pit I can't jump out of - but overall I really enjoyed this entry! My high score was 450
This is a cool little entry! I really like the mechanic of intentionally letting the ants get to the honey tiles so you can get a speed boost. I also love the physics on the hive itself. One problem I found was it's too easy to get stuck between the hive and the branch, but otherwise I like this a lot!!
Thank you for playing!! :) @badmuchachob @mickm @reccy @magus77 @neverwinsthegame
@doc-kaos Haha thank you!!
Thanks for playing! @loudlout @ethankessler
@pressstartearly Thank you!! Yeah music really isn't my strongest suit, idk if you found it but there's an option to disable the music if it's too annoying. I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway :)
@kora0h if you press Escape you can turn down the sensitivity :) Thank you for playing!
...are these comments from bots? why is this happening in my comments section all of a sudden
This is an excellent entry!! It's a really cool take on the theme and I think the physics feel very good. I love that objects can be broken apart as well. I found it maybe slightly too hard (I couldn't get past the third level) but I really enjoyed it anyway. I also love the hand drawn artwork. Extremely impressive for a compo game!! :)
Edit: I also want to mention you can make the timer appear and win the level even while you are still holding an object, which feels like cheating to me
I like it, the graphics are good and the levels are well made. My biggest complaint is that the jump feels really weird to me - the gravity is wayyyy too high which makes the player character feel extremely heavy, and holding space to slowly float upwards doesn't feel very natural. However I did get used to it after a while. Otherwise I think this is a very cool entry. I especially like the 3D effect on the platforms which gives the levels a nice sense of depth.
(Also, this is a very very small nitpick, but if the game uses only keyboard buttons to play, why force the player to grab the mouse just to retry after failing??)
I love this haha, I also wasn't a fan of "unstable" at first. Great job on making a fun game out of your frustration with the theme itself. I don't know how you managed to come up with a list of 200 random terrible themes without losing your sanity
I really like this, it's a fun and well made roguelike. I love how there are stat increases scattered around so you get a feeling of character progression. My only real criticism is that when you get locked into an enemy battle, there aren't really any decisions to make, you can only keep attacking, which makes the outcome feel entirely luck-based. I think if you could make choices during battles (such as healing or fleeing, for example) it would make the game feel more skill-based as opposed to just luck. Overall this is a solid entry!
This game is extremely well made!!! The pixel art is very well done and the parallax effect looks amazing. I don't know how you managed to make such a convincing sense of depth with only 2D pixel art. This is a very cool take on the theme and it is also extremely polished and fun. Excellent entry!!
Edit: Also out of curiosity, what engine this was made with?
This is a god damn masterpiece, I love it. The pixel art graphics are very well done, the voice over is good, it feels fun and satisfying to kick stuff around, the music is fitting, all around an excellent entry. The only criticism I have is that the jump felt unreliable sometimes, especially when standing on top of objects. Otherwise I really enjoyed this game!!
Cool game, I think the simplistic graphics work very well by clearly showing you all the info you need and nothing more, and the gameplay is intuitive and easy to understand. I wish there was an easy way to deselect a plane (maybe with right click?) because I sometimes found myself trying to select a different plane and instead rerouting the one I had currently selected. Otherwise, this is a very enjoyable and well-made game! Reminds me of the old iOS game Flight Control
Really amazing entry!! It is extremely polished and fun! The pixel art graphics look very good, the controls feel tight and responsive and the different weapons are all satisfying to use. My single nitpick is that I found the cursor slightly too hard to see at times. Overall a very impressive entry!!
Pretty cool game, difficulty ramps up nicely, however I wish the mechanical gene could be replenished instead of getting only a finite amount for the whole level. Also I love that you implemented a level editor as well (although couldn't figure out how to actually place stuff down). Nice entry
Cool game, pixel art graphics are well made and the controls feel good
Simplistic, but interesting experience. I like how we go through the same levels multiple times but things get more and more glitchy each time. Although I think when the walls start shaking around it becomes a little too difficult. Maybe if the player hitbox was smaller it would help. Cool entry
super fun! The graphics look really nice, and the truck serving as the title screen is very cute. I didn't see the double-jump at first though and I thought it was impossible to get over the dogs and scooters
Cool art style, but I have no clue what it's about
@velvetlobster yeah, the sides of the screen are cut off for some reason, sorry about that :( I've only tested the game in 16:9, maybe your monitor is a different aspect ratio and it's causing it to not display properly? Maybe try the WebGL version in small-screen and see if that displays properly?
@bloodyaugust thanks for playing and leaving feedback! Sorry to hear you're having issues with screen cutoff as well, I will try to figure out a fix for this. Glad you liked the game anyway :)
@themule thanks for playing! The display problems should have been fixed already as of the version I uploaded earlier today. Is it still an issue for you? If so could you please be more specific so I can figure out what's going wrong still?
@dgo thank you so much for playing, glad you enjoyed!! I do agree that it's annoying to keep switching between keyboard and mouse, I just wasn't sure how to solve that without removing that mechanic entirely
@chucks-feed-and-seed thanks for playing!! :)
@ttu-hasan @stephanie-hansen @rincs thank you so much for playing!!
@philwonder thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed! I agree it would be good to have the final score visible somewhere, I may add that in a post-jam update
@ardorugus @xxstdyk thanks for playing!! :)
@yumykon thank you so much for playing!! glad you enjoyed! :)
the idea for the asteroid passes is that any package that has to go through the asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter) to get to where it’s going, needs to have a pass. That includes the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) plus anything in the asteroid belt itself (in which case it will say so on its sticker).
@arron-fowler haha thanks for playing :)
haha I love this game, it took me a while to get it working with my controller because my keyboard doesn't let me have more than three rockets active at once. But once I got it working it was super silly and fun. I completed it in 17 minutes
this game gives me anxiety, I love it :)
I love this game so much!! The graphics are very well done and the controls feel super responsive and fun! I think it might be slightly too hard and I found it difficult to find the next customer or endpoint before time runs out. I like the compass pointer at the top but it took me a while to notice it. Also the red and green beacons look very similar and I sometimes got them mixed up. Otherwise this is a very fun and impressive entry! It's a shame there's no audio however (unless it's on my end?)
Also not to be a nitpick but aren't these slugs if they don't have shells, rather than snails? :)
very cool entry!! I kinda wish there was a way to see a full map of the world to make navigation easier, but otherwise I like it a lot!
I like it, I like the different types of platforms that have different effects and it feels like the right level of challenge. I found a weird glitch where I fell off one of the icy-looking platforms right before it moved, and when I respawned I was outside the boundaries. The controls and graphics are a little rough but overall it's a cool entry!
Cool game, I like how it puts several different twists on the idea of "delivering" with the different tasks you have to do. Also exploring the world and finding people and things to interact with is fun.
One criticism I have is that it's annoying how going through doors/down different streets is sometimes W and sometimes S, and I kept pressing the wrong one. It felt to me like there was no reason to have two separate buttons so why not just make it the same button for all doors and streets?
I love this game so much!!!!! I think this is my favorite entry I've played so far! The graphics are absolutely beautiful and I love how each planet has a different theme and I love all the characters. Also I loved the twist at the end. And the music is extremely nice as well. Overall an amazing entry!!!
My one criticism is that I didn't realize I had to press Z in order to move at first, so I though the game was broken
Nice art style and I like how you have to buy drugs both for yourself to stay alive and for other people
I love it, it's super fun and silly. One criticism I have is that it would be nice to see which house is which from further away, without having to go into one of the walled off areas just to check. Also is there an intended way to actually deliver the packages? It seems like you just have to intentionally die after reaching the house. Overall though I really enjoyed it!
Also I love that there's a quack button
