The game is meant to be dark, but not too dark. I assume this game using direct and not indirect lighting, that's okay but somehow dark games are hard to play and usually darkness must be avoided in video games, the term darkness is referred to almost "pitch black". Others like theme, mechanics, graphics, etc. are fine. Overall a nice game!
Damn I've never rate this high before. The elements combined perfectly! Such a nice UI, Great concept, The sounds and musics are suit very well, Animations of the UI are pretty good as well, and much more. This game is actually fun, but frustrated at the same time. The higher level the harder it goes, the last level is very impossible for me and I would like to watch the full game with more than 10 levels played by speedrunners or rhythm master. Such a cool game man, I would love to see your next submission on LD 47!
Nice game man! It seems like I can't find more objectives other than collecting coins. The graphics are surprisingly good but unfortunately the sounds and music not suits well for the game idk why. Other than that, nice game!
How sad, I don;t have controllers. I thought the game can be played with the keyboard as well. I've seen your behind the scene video and i think it's pretty damn cool tho ngl. I also surprised about the visuals and the music in the game, I'm so amazed! Please keep enter the Ludum Dare event, We sure learn alot from you and I want to know how you implement the idea from the given theme like keep the party alive? I didn't even think about that. Overall it's such a beautiful game!
Too bad it's not yet finished, it would be interesting to see the full gameplay! and any direction on the game would be nice as well. It seems that I can only play with the dodo birds with no clues at all and nothing else. Well overall it's a good prototype, I'll look forward to your next game! tips : if you're not able to finish your game, it is likely due to your too big or too many ideas implemented, be sure to keep things simple if you want to submit the game fully in time.
This would be the rank #1, no doubt! surprisingly the size of the game is only 5 MB and the inside was a masterpiece. I really appreciate the instant level restart, music toggle, etc. others like graphics, sounds, musics, mechanics, level designs are spectacular! So what game engine you're using? I found similar built games like this because when the code error pop up (yea I found a bug, but it's okay) it has the same format. Overall this game is the best in this game jam imo.
Such a nice idea for a game! It really using my brain a bit, The mechanics are well implemented. And also nice musics man!
Very interesting mechanics! Nice graphics, those visuals the shaders are amazing as well. Sounds and Musics are very very suits the game, the futuristic theme I believe. the game is a bit unbalanced, sometimes I got more enemies in early levels, I really appreciate the random generated levels and other values, surprisingly the game is still playable and I'm enjoying it alot! I recommend You should release it, but first you have to balance things up, adding some more contents to the game and that should do it, And the recommended platform could be Mobile/PC Game which is perfect imo. Also this should be on the Top 10 list, or it could be Top 3 tho, good luck!
The mechanics in this game is nice, however there are things are a bit buggy such as player controls and platformer movement. the character moves very slow and I hope you can make it faster for balance things up. And somehow the character got stuck on a platformer which is weird, are there something wrong like ground detection are not accurate or something. The jump reminds me of old style classic Mario Bros game, it's very controllable but unfortunately the movement is too slow. The game is playable but, I know you have not enough time to playtesting for balance the game. Overall it's such a pretty great game!
The most important thing on idle games is balance, and surprisingly the game is balanced perfectly. I've played until the ritual finished and all of the upgrades to max, the game is addicting! The visuals, sounds, music and voice acting are made very well. Simple mechanics but addicting, such a cool game!
Amazing, I love this kinda pixel art. It gives me the vibe of classic pixel horror or story based games. But the hard part is the instant kill or reset when you touch the enemy, I don't know why but when It resets I got frustrated and don't want to replay the level again. At least give more checkpoints to the level or adds HP so it wont instantly die. because imo it would give the player chance to explore and feel the experience of the gameplay.
Yes! An old school style graphics... I actually enjoyed the game and it was fun! and funny... there are a few bugs like the spring joint of the plug is a bit annoying and the enemy when it closer to the power core, it's rotation are going crazy like sometimes floating or airwalk, etc. And the gameover screen scared me a bit, like why you instantly make the screen appeared and stops the music, that time I was focusing killing some bad dudes and then boom dark lose screen lol. Overall the game is very fun to play, idk why but this is the best fun game to play with for a game jam so far! it would be great to see this in multi-player game.
I'm so impressed, pretty cool polished game! I can't stop playing lol. All elements suits perfectly like graphics, sounds, musics, UI and story, etc.
It's like a finished game but not polished yet, tbh I still don't know how to play this game properly lol. But it's a great game, the gameplay is very interesting and I'll be looking forward into it.
Cool concept! I love story-based and turn-based combat games, but the combat part was the hardest imo. Somehow I didn't have any strategy for defeating the enemy because I always died no matter what I do. The story and gameplay are interesting, It would be nice if more content added to the game and fix the combat system.
Simple graphics but somehow atmoshpheric. Also I love the music, it suits very well!
Damn what a game! it's getting harder and harder and It would be more fun if you can play with your friends and add another mechanics such as ammo is no longer infinite or build a turret like a tower-defense game. And I also think the same think! My idea for the game jam is protect something in the center but in 2D platformer + Tower-defense, strangely enough the thing in the center was a heart like this game but I changed it to a crystal. Tbh, this game is 10x better than mine :). Overall it's a really great game!
The game is near perfect but there are things like performance and controls are not good enough. Somehow the walk and interaction gives me some delays. Others are fine such as graphics, sounds, musics, and the story. I love how the UI indicator shows, also it's great because it needs a feedback to the players. It's kinda fun actually and stressful at same time lol.
Me and my sister enjoy it alot! This theme suits very well to the game, it's very simple mechanic in only one level. It would be more fun if another mechanics introduced and has more levels in it. Overall this is the most simplest but fun game I've ever played in a game jam!
It's very polished game! But it's not balanced yet imo, the game is too hard in the early levels. The saws are moving too fast or poor anticipation which is the player may not know that the saw will moving. For new players, the will die alot or for fast learners they will adapt the mechanics and controls very fast and not like me, I can't event pass the 4th level. Mechanics are nicely implemented, the main character and the egg both got HP which is unfair lol. The pixel art is pretty nice, also the sounds and music are suits the game very well. the animations and transitions are also great. Other than that are fine. Overall it's a pretty cool game, frustrating but fun!
Wow, this is almost like a finished game! all of the sprites are great and some are nicely animated, Sounds and Musics are suits very well, The mechanics are implemented perfectly, the controls are good enough, etc. But there is one thing missing, The direction, the game just start without any guide or tutorial at least give the players the objectives that would be more playable. While playing I also got weird bug, when the enemy starts attacking me it will always hit me when I keep a distance, it's like a poison debuff. Also not to mention that this game is suits the theme well, especially for a survival game. Overall this game is almost perfect!
I love it! Nice idea and concept, also enjoyed the musics as well. And somehow my PC getting hotter while playing and then I realized that this game is using more power than I thought.
It's very interesting gameplay mechanic, A good way to navigate around the map. This is really a great game, it would be nice to add another mechanics or something to fill the levels. It seems that I got stuck in a loop, I think I'm lost so never got the ending. Anyway it's an interesting game, I hope the game has more content. Also not to mention this submission if for compo, really appreciate your hardwork to put all of your effort into it. Overall, pretty cool game!
This is entertaining! simple mechanics, good graphics and funny sounds are amazing!
For a game jam this game have some pretty nice graphics. The mechanic is very well, however sometimes the game doesn't let me to type in the terminal. I love the gameplay, it would be more fun if the map is bigger and multi-player.
@thetego Great! I'll look forward into it.
Damn this game has all of it! Core mechanics, Graphics, Sounds, Music, UI, post-processing, etc. it's too perfect for a gamejam IMO. the camera movement is snappy which is great for accuracy, the tile placement is nicely done, btw every level you've designed is blowing my mind cuz I didn't even think about it, and also every level will slowly increase the difficulty, which is amazing for players who will get frustrated pretty easily. Also I see you are using the Unity shader for the sea, and the nice lighting as well. The URP has implemented very well. Overall it's excellent! I hope you develop it more in the future man.
It's a great idea for a puzzle game, fine pixel arts and nice music. There are things like unused arrow tiles are not necessary if you want to confuse the players in a puzzle game. Overall great game!
This game reminds me of Left for Dead 2, that time when you bring the gasoline and fill up the tank until the gate is opened or the car. But sadly every wood you throw in a fire will increase to almost max 99%. Not too challenging imo, but hey it's very insteresting concept and I think there's a hidden path I've explored (rainbow portal) but the game is already over. I hope you can make a deeper story in the future.
I realized I've played the game wrong, but when I go back and replay... It's kinda fun and hilarious, I think. The gameplay isn't that interesting but it's fun and a bit entertaining, also I love how the ambient sounds fits the environment in the night time. Else is fine, like graphics, sounds, etc.
A nice and simple game that suits with the theme perfectly. It would be great if another mechanic like the other bugs will attack the big ladybugs slowly.
Man this game fits this year and the theme as well lol. It's kinda fun and interesting idea tho. It's pretty easy at start, but the more you play the harder it goes. And the music changes when It's getting harder and that's a good one. I think I have an idea, how about turn this game into 3D, that way we can save people by bringing them into the vehicle with 3D thirdperson perspective, I know it sounds crazy... but anyways such a nice game!
hehe I love how the lil dude walk around the terrain like that. I've seen "keep the fire alive" games but this one... is more interesting. It seems like if the player put too much fuel then the fire starts to heat up and will burn the place down. The map is huge and player can discover something new. I can't carry more objects and i don't even know what objects I'm carrying, it would be nice to put some UI that indicates the max amount of objects you can carry. Overall Nice and interesting game!
