It looks fenominal! really good job, I do think the gameplay leaves something to be desired~ also the continued charging of the hammer was a little unpleasant. but I do really like how you just wreck the ever living shit out of your own house before jumping in :') I expected it when we started, but I enjoyed it non the less :D really good game
It looks very nice, I don't think I can win tho? I have a hard time getting a sense of what the attack is the enemy does. but I really love the movement. the camera lock feels very nice too. Really nice compact demo :D
really fun~ The controlls are a little finneky with all the different plant sprays. but It feels really nice. the movement is a little tricky from time to time but I really like the premise and was sad when I accidentally killed a flower :C
Really nice, I did get a little confused with what to do every now and then but even so, overall this is really awesome~ solid entry :D
Holy shit! nice! I love the point and click movment, makes me wish I did such a thing too. It's really awesome how pretty everything looks. I'm genuently stunned. I do think you could have made a few more interactions with different objects maybe so that the player has a bit more agency rather than guessing. perhaps drop some clues in dialogue, have the kings men give some advice to the general on what is good as fortification. But on the other hand I got the best outcome the first time around even though I felt a little clueless, so maybe it's just me :P anyway, I love it! really nice
interesting puzzle game, but holy shit that was hard xD the controlls are a little finneky but it is a really nice concept to opperate multiple vehicles that way~ nice :)
;_; my cat never made it home. fun concept though, the mechanic is really fun. I even tried keeping items with me and that was surprisingly satisfying though hard. Fun that you allowed for that.
Idea is solid! the look is super sweet!~ It is not super nice that they can see you when they aren't on the screen, since you cant really help that. I love my mouth piece tho, would carry my intestines around again.
I couldnt win it for the life of me xD but I did really enjoy it. It was a little unclear exactly what did what or how effective things were, but the game was very nice to play~ nice job :) oh right and the video link for the tutorial is broken btw~
Hey~ I tried downloading it cuz I loved the pic. Then read the requirement~ Pls send me a note when it's up. It looks super cute and I really love the music track that you included.
Yeeeees! I am the ultimate gardener! I really liked that. 'few people know how to grow it' it's a really nice qlue that is just enough info. Really fun :) good job ^^
Wah, that's really cool~ I fun to play and quick. few balancing issues if you work yourself into a corner xD but yeah thats cool!
Electro charge activated!~ real nice, gg. Art looks great, game feels nice to play. the only problem is that the enemies give no feedback when hit. pls for a release add particles and have them flash white for a sec, that stuff. Other than that, super nice!~
Great work yet again~ Loved it. My eyes teared up yet again! why! ;_; I really like the story beats you hit, not that they are making me happy, but I really love how you present them, it's so good. Well done~! I do wonder if you plan at some point on working together, if you can do this alone, I am very curious what you can do with help~ Love your work, great entry~!
The gameplay feels super smooth~ nicely done, the game does really rely upon you explorign the level before you can play the level well, maybe have a mini map? but good job either way! The music is very nice :)
very fun~ but the intuitive nature of when to build, or what it would do did not really kick in. I think the game could have done with some added effects that draw the eye to specific sections. I'd also recommend increasing the pickup radius, because often I had a ton of stuff everywhere but couldn't pick even half of it up. Even so, I did really love the frantic pace and how the music adjusted. great job :D
super pretty. the light is awesome, I kinda suck at platformers so sorry that I didnt make it all the way through xD I do think it's really fluent and the moment is incredible! Man hat's off to you, it's a wonderfull experience, super cute as well. I just want this boyo to be happy :3
Oh what a wonderfull choice! love it. It was really fun to play~ a great example of a nice jamming game. The cop was a little tricky to figure out at the start, I thought it was someone who was like, I dont want music or I'll leave. but then I realised :') really well done~ super smooth execution.
Super cute, I did kinda wish I could choose a slime as my pet as soon as I saw it (they are cute!) but this was really fun! The naming of the pet was a nice touch btw! good job
it did looked nice, and the movement of the crowd was so satisfying! great game
oof, this is really tricky xD I do like it though, it's got a good amount of tactic with very few rules. Great job :D I was very hooked~ Played for quite a bit (never got far though xD) well done~
Really nice. Great game, the music is also so solid, and that picture of the clock, just.. Mph. great. Like that's a great example of one piece selling the whole. Good job on the story too, the son was such a nice element ~ I expected the dad, but like seriously, hats off. good storytelling :3
It looks so cute~ really well done. Fun thing I discovered (I was curious about different endings, but I couldn't find any) if you give the girl the beer and then talk to her again really quickly, she'll move aside saying she should move :P likely sharing some code? anyway, it was fun. Great job~ the sounds were very nice too btw, good jobbu!
Omg. it's adorible! I love it~ it's really calming and cute
I wanted to take a look, but I think your link isn't public
Its a really nice flow, but the controlls are a little tricky, I think it might help if slow down the ship when the buttons arent pressed, but I guess it is part of the charm.. so maybe like play with it a bit, it's cool :)
I do like the idea a lot, it's a little rough, but man does it just look nice! well done~
I like the music, and super good job on completing. I'd recommend adding that when you hold the mouse you fire rythmically, it helps from getting finger cramps :) Good job
@incd021 yeah that was the end~ In case you managed to sneak past (which I personally didn't manage, but just in case xD), you could then sacrifice yourself to a pit of doom, where you would die while falling.
I just wanted to thank everybody for their nice comments and feedback! I really appreciate it, I'm really happy to see that people think it's cool!
@scintillae-creations Thank you ^^ I kinda started with the idea of these Gothic windows with the light coming through (the opening shot), from that I wanted a darker world, and I am sure that dark souls had some influence there yeah :D by then end I think some diablo may have seeped in too. I whould have likely done some more story focus, but with my limited programming experience of only a year it just took a long time ^^' Good suggestion though, I agree~ Edit: when it came to the entire theme, I thought of someone with their soul in their hand, like a flame, if they were to run to quick it would fizzle out. thus came the dark sombre tone to mind. then the art stuff popped into my head.
@tom-kun Hey Tom, I had a question, you mention maybe adding some animations for player movement and maybe not a suffering pose. What exactly do you mean? There are animations in the game, and I was wondering if this is a type of bug, or if you meant something different entirely than to what I'm thinking? I made a little playthrough vid, would you mind checking it and seeing if things are the same? I'd like to know what type of bug it is, in case of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWBq0Z2qK4g Thanks ever so much ^^
@thecrancher I had genuently not concidered pushing blocks, Which is kinda weird concidering how much that happens in 2d games :') Thanks so much for your compliments and feedback, I appreciate it ^^
the img looks awesome~ but yup. broken link :c
that looks really nice~ I wasnt exaclty sure how to do the combat well in game. but the style is nice, the tamagochi is adorible and a great idea. I do think the game could have benefited from a free camera instead of the restricted axis. But nice job all around :)
^ would play but cant :c
Looked really cute~ I do wish I could befriend the slimeys. Cant say I'm really sure what the powercells did tho, or the blade. but everything looked really cute :)
I loved the way you did walrunning xD also the dootboi is adorible. I couldnt get past the iceblocks comming down from the ceiling tho :P he kept snagging on the blocks
link nup
Holy shit! how does this happen? who harmed these people?! My god the future is scary xD Love the idea though, it's funny
looks great first of all! you guys did kinda overdo it with the shadows, meaning the player may rely a little too much on waiting for the thunder to get awareness of their surrounding for the platforming parts. Other than that the gameplay has a few issues, its a little unclear what to do and the attack spamming sadly also leaves something to be desired (naturally this isn't a dealbreaker, it's a gamejam, and it looks great). The one thing that did make me quit was that at some point the darkness left me without seeing there was a small drop, which then became a big drop, and I tough, oooh I'm going after the angel maybe? and then I died, which was also the first time falling damage was introduced, I'd likely have halted my speed were I to have known falling damage was a thing. all things said, excellent entry and well done :) love the fibes
Great game feel~ visually also very appealing! I was after a while hoping that there'd be like something more, maybe a bit of story :P but even so, it felt real fun, great job!
stuck bug does keep happening. but even so the controls are smooth and just feel fun to do, nice job :) Real good effort into that base mechanic, it really payed of~ very fun
;_; if you press R twice in a row it bugs out. I found out the hard way
ok ok, actual stuff, great game, my god love it, real fun :D fun idea, fun execution. Just all around well done, polish is nice and the game makes me want to play more. perhaps be a bit nicer to your players with the distance, because even after I got the hang of it I still would fall 70% of the time simply because it goes very fast. That aside, It feels great, looks great and is a fun one for the theme. Excelent entry!
excelent use of engine, also just hilarious game, great job :') just excellent
absolutely love the concept, but sadly the I did not understand the folding bag puzzle with the holes. The puzzle before that I solved by simply walking back and forth to scout out the puzzle and accidentally solved it doing that, so I think I lost crucial understanding in what the numbers at the bottom meant, I tried a few options but sadly didn't manage anything specific. Even so, love the idea and love the concept! I'd love a minigame of this on steam, like just an hour of good puzzling 10/10
It looks excelent~ but its rather tough to play, the birds fly a bit quick :P even so, your polish is really nice ^^ well done
first thought. huh, weird, r to shoot? second thought, ooh that's one sick shooting effect. 3rd though, help HEEELP HEEEELP.
Good concept ^^ I think the controls can do with some refinement and itteration, but outside of that I actually really enjoyed this, that was real cool and I'd love to see like shops and such added, with upgrades and maybe healthpacks, like stations hidden far down. Maybe you could even have recruitable units for different ship roles and stories. So some are pilots who make you faster or otherwise make you steer faster, others gunners with their own gun preferences, faster slower aoe etc. dunno, but I think you can do quite a lot with the idea and the panic inducing high energy feeling you get when you are chased by those things through whole minefields. I love it :D Great job!
good stuff, As others mentioned I also didn't recognize the second 02 tanks at the start ^^' also found that I often even with perfect flight didn't manage to retrieve some of them, which was somewhat frustrating. but even so, really well done! love the atmospheric sound btw
really excelent, great fibes and solid gameplay, I wasn't able to really get why I would or wouldn't light up my lightbulb though, maybe I missed something but yeah, that would help :P even so, solid entry, 10/10
I pray for the fool who follows in my footsteps, the torch wont last and the darkness creeps ever closer.
<3 excellent game, just great. The first time we had combat I thought, oh this is so weak I don't think it even makes sense to use it, then you gave the logic and I was sold.
I think it could be deeper though, and there could be more added, like imagine being able to use the light for bursts of better vision, but it would deplete quicker, thus being both a benefit and a hinderence. This same technique could also keep certain enemies in the dark. at the same time you could add a method that increases the light the more fuel you have left, thus making it more tempting if you're lower at health and also more risky because you already have less fuel. I'd love to see a bigger release of this game, and some extra features would be awesome.
That all said, yup, just great. Amazing job :)
love the intro, my god though, this feels very cursed xD You okay? Good entry, it feels very creepy
@neonjeff Totally agreed the game would be so much better with some sound! I should prioritize it more for the next time :) I played the game on a bigger screen when testing, which was a problem after the fact :') Thanks for the feedback ^^ next time I'll have to create some more particles I think to clarify things more
@fatebreak thanks for the feedback! I think you're right, things indeed need some more polish, thanks for specifying which elements you noticed most, I'll keep it in mind :) Also thanks, I loved the more cartoony flavor of art too :P was a fun thing to experiment with
@glimmer afraid so :P I never made a controller game before, so that was one of my personal goals this game. Setting it up for mouse and keyboard was going to be a bit too much I'm afraid ^^'
@savolae agreed, The game would have done well with more polish. I even made some assets that I didn't have time to place by the end. It's a real shame :P but that's the curses of overscoping during a compo run. Thanks for the nice comments ^^
@train27 you are absolutely right :P The assembly at the end was super rushed and it is no excuse for how crude the end it xD but even so, am very glad to hear you still appreciated the design and movement. Thanks a lot for the kind comments and very valid criticism. I think next time around I'll be sure to add sounds earlier on in the process. I did so last time during the compo, but this time I kept postponing it, and it ended up biting me hard :P gotta mess up to learn I suppose ^^ thanks bout the tips
Good sir~ excelent game, the only thing to note was that the torch was a little confusing, I thought it to be the thing to pick up or so, but when looking down I encountered a bug where the enemy would slide towards me while in my view. Love the weeping angel idea though, my god I was paranoid :P excelent
It's a little rough, but it does have some really interesting ideas, I'm not entirely sure what it meant to use some of the abilities, but I loved the conceptual feel of the spear and attack. The platforming section later on was a little too rough sadly though, the movement problems did make it a little too tricky. Even so, you all did real well~ the piece does hold potential :)
real nice atmosphere~ I think a bit more time on puzzles might be good for future games, the controlls are a little clunky, but the visuals really bring things back around, love the lights and mood. Solid work ^^
Lesson learned, I'm a terrible dwarf xD
That was a really fun mood you guys put down, I really enjoyed the start, the voiceover was a little painful to the ears and I had to watch it twice since I cant read when there's sound xD I really like the intro monologue :')
The fighting was a little tricky as it was hard to spot when I did something, and it was only after turning the sound back on that I realised I was actually doing things.
Great job on the jam, happy future jamming ^^
I agree with people before, took a bit, but once understanding dawned it was pretty fun :P I do also agree som tuts would do the game well, or text that tells you what the different weapons do. Overall though, excellent work ^^ good job
70.29 :) Great stuff~ 10/10
Dear doctor, today I beat up my sleep demon, but the ticking sound in the background keeps ringing :')
real solid. I do think the slingshot was only really needed for the final boss~ (and even then could be done with dodging and melee) but even so, it was a great experience with solid polish on the controls. The ?bunnies? at the start were likely the hardest though, as their numbers eventually made it rather tricky :')
be v proud, its amazing <3
I was ready for this to be terrible, but god I love it xD really well done, I'm very surprised by how well this is executed! my hat is off to you
loved her story, am loving this game, haven't finished yet. little stuck atm :P I did notice small bugs where I accidentally got chat options that I hadn't discovered properly yet, but even so, excellent game ^^ well done
would it be possible to get a full playthrough btw? I tried some more but am thoroughly stuck :P would like to see what the intended route was ^^
@maximiliancroissant thanks :P it's that I cant get her to talk more about her best.. well that. she just says maybe another appointment, so I ended the appointment and then next time tried again, but that just seems like a safe state. Either way not sure if there is an end to the therapy, even so it's real good ^^ I know what causes the 'water problem', but am unsure of how to pursue :) but that's okay, the rest of the playthrough was sometimes tricky, but managed quite well, you guys did excellent for the amount logic behind the step to step questions. I would recommend maybe not having a: "Could you expand upon that" type of option if the response is a specific line, for in that case it could cause the game feel to break down a bit, takes you out of the fantasy.
<3 great stuff~ if you ever do make updates be sure to let me know :)
Very solid entry ^^ The tight spots can be real cool sometimes and I think the speed of the camera is very well chosen, very fair. Love the style, would love to see an expanded version with maybe some more story beats and lore. Am curious what such a setting might hold for stories.
great pollish and visuals, I think it might be a nice thing to add one paint splosh ability every 'life' so you can at least make sure to get a better understanding of your surroundings, without making it cheap. I noticed in the first spike level that though I knew where everything was kinda, I just couldn't find the exit, and such a thing would have greatly helped with scoping out the area without taking away from the premise. Even so, great job ^^ impressed~
@ianthebee Well, I wouldnt say the whole map, but just a small area of your immediate surroundings, that way you can at least figure out where the exit 'isnt'. Either way, great job :D could absolutely expand upon this and do a minigame release
such a lovely and charming idea! Love the vibes, well done!
I love it, its really fun to make random things I played for a long time xD it is hard to figure out the icons tho, might be nice to have a translation. quick mention of the snacking for info is also gud, but boi its lovely, well done xD
I also found something! Untitled.png
I really like the feeling of it, and I thought I was beginning to understand but then I just couldnt figure it out xD I like the overall gameplay tho, but I think a few sample images as a tutorial might be good, I dont understand why the edges didnt move and what I should do with them. I tried getting the same color to line up and create full rows but that just didnt do it. however I was enjoying the first part to line up numbers and then the fight was nice even if I didnt fully understand. Good stuff :D
@p-r aaaah yeah that makes a lot more sense, thats cool I replayed it and that was really nice! a fun lil challenge feeling, gives me the feeling of a real time azul game instead of a turned based one :P
great vibes, really love the overall gameplay and once I got how to use the blade and the summoning order it felt pretty good. do think a dash would be lovely, I kept pressing shift as it felt like there would be one :) excelent game! also so pretty
briliant esthetics~ lovely game. the cursor switch was loovely. but when placing a lil face down I could no longer interact and got nothing,.. not sure waht the noose was tho, but it was really really well done!
super charming! really well done and the graphics of the chickens are so cute xD I do wish each option gave a visible upgrade cuz that'd be really nice. but you did an amazing job and it was really fun :)
ah I crashed on a tie I think, but the animations of the card expaning and flipping really created a nice atmosphere, well done :)
ah thats very valid, we struggled a bit with the right balance between readability and graphical vision :P but glad the vibes are on point :DD
@abominablescience & @chaoticspear yahh xD we had a great time just making it super crazy and fun, glad that carried over so well and good to hear :') thanks for playing
@megh-menghani good point, I've made sure to include a lil extra note to the instructions next to the download now :)
@chiara-sanviti thank you, and ah I see it now, we'll make sure to adjust that :)
Hey @beebster-games I'm a little supsrised, every element of the world has background sound (not always music), it was all done personally though, we wanted to not use any pre-made sounds. But just to bug-check, you didnt hear it? as for the other elements, I think those are a lil more of a preference and our lack of tutorials xD thanks for playing though
super fun! well done I greatly enjoy it, feel really nice and given a bit of time to cook I hope to see a full release :3 seems great
really fun, thouroughly enjoyed playing this and went back for quite a few rounds. excelent gameplay pollish, incredible work, well done :D
A very cute game, I did feel like I was a little overwhelmed quite quickly, but the experience was very well rounded :)
really charming, woulda loved to combine things and thus unlock more things to combine with :P but it was really fun the way it was already, nice job
thats so nice, I really appreciate the intergrated feeling and would love to see more of it. It would be cool to link the sounds to form pleasing music pieces, if that was added I think it'd be absolutely amazing. but already you've made a lovely piece and I loved it, truely wonderfull
lovely little game I figured out how to beat the level 3 bug where they'd run to the middle even if they couldnt hit you. buuuuut yeah it still bugged with the spawn. Either way I think its super charming and you did really well :D Its a great cozy summon game, I'd love to see some level of unit overspill maybe, would feel rewarding
Love the game feel, a little easy once you get that a tank in front is the solution to every problem, but I'd love to play this with like different spawnpoints and different difficulty elements :)
@memnarch awesome, well do let me know if you have like a need for a tester, I like the concept :)
got to the final boss, quite fun ^^ balance does feel a little wonky, but thats mainly cuz you never know what you're buying or really able to make choices in that. so when I already know whats where the experience becomes better. Great title tho and you guys did absolutely amazing!
@cmakota oh yeah no absolutely, you should be! you all did amazing! :D well done!
fun mechanic switching to the double controlls, and playing around with different segments. the last puzzle seemed a little simple, but overall it was really fun ^^ well done
I'm quite confused, but I like the smoothness of the movmeent! the also the lil soundeffects really add! well done!
