The swordfighting feels good but I am either really bad or the game is really hard. I felt as if I got almost instakilled most of the time even with shield and using block. Nice animations and a nice functional shop!
The graphics are really beautiful. I also think the concept works as a browser game like this.
Really impressed with the mood and art direction. The characters were fun and the concept was different and kinda melancholic. Really enjoyed this one!
This is crazy hahah! I loved the interpretation of the theme and the overall scenario. I never managed to carry over any explosives to the other side of the road as I had a hard time controlling the characters with the mouse. Seeing the chaos once the chain reaction has started was well done. Overall very good :)!
Very nice implementation of the theme! I also really liked all the shadow world music!
I enjoyed playing this entry! Funny concept with bubbly graphics. I like that the game didn't take it self very seriously :). I had some issues with the platforming physics where I got stuck between a hobo and a platform which gave me a game over, so I'm going to have to critique that a little bit. Overall I had fun playing :)!
From the short time I had to try the game, I have some issues with the player being incredibly fast and the complete lack of visual or audio feedback when taking damage from enemies. I also feel as there is no goal to the game as I will die no matter my playstyle. The graphics are really clean however and the music is superb.
Very fun puzzles. Creative take on the theme! Controls felt very responsive and I had quite fun playing through :)
I really liked the graphical style of the game! It was also fun to just destroy everything with the right upgrades :smile:
I would've loved some more clear feedback of when you take damage. Also is there a way to restore hearts? The betting system becomes very hard to use later on if you run low on hearts.
Really cool aesthetics and fun interpretation of the theme!
Super cool concept and simple but fun gameplay mechanics. Great jam entry! I just wished there were audio :).
Very strange! I enjoyed it :)!
@gabriel-bissonnette Thank you so much for the kind words! Bomb defusal was actually the first concept we had but we decided to abstract it a bit more and leave it up to interpretation. I'm glad the music could convey the emotion we were going for!
@nash Thanks for the kind words! Regarding the color issue, that's an oversight on our part. If we are to develop this further we will absolutely look into providing an accesibility mode or introducing shape variations in addition to color.
@pdotjpg Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Regarding the timer, it was actually the first mechanic that we came up with as we wanted to make a "bomb defusal game" where you have to solve puzzles to defuse a ticking bomb. It is a bit harsh by design since we wanted players to feel like they overcame a big challenge if they beat the game but we understand that trying over and over again is not enjoyable for everyone.
If we were to expand this game we would definitely consider creating a zen mode and moving timed mode into being its own game mode. That way every player can play the game how they like, just enjoying puzzles or trying to see if they can solve diffucult ones under pressure.
An undo button is a great suggestion and not something we even considered during development.
Again thank you for the great feedback!
@theblitz Thanks for the feedback! We will take note and keep that in mind for a potential update.
@jzucc12 So happy you enjoyed it! And wow reaching and almost beating stage 29 on your first attempt is very impressive!
I like the presentation and the graphics and the overall level design is pretty nice, but I really feel like many of the upgrades are too much of a downgrade in terms of losing control. For example I managed to pick both low gravity and everybody jumps so the final boss was completely unreachable because it was just floating in the roof and I couldn't control my jumping. I also feel like having to pick up my torch after throwing it made me not want to use the throw at all because it was such a loss of time to do all that instead of just going in swinging like crazy.
Nevertheless good job on your game!
The music and sound was nice, but I had an issue with the layered drums being very off-beat whenever they kicked in which made it difficult to listen to. The overall gameplay loop was a little bit too easy for my tastes and the upgrades barely felt like they did something, at least for the short bit I played. That said I loved the visuals and the theme worked really well with this type of game!
Really really good job on the graphics and sounds (idk if you made the sounds but they're really good choices at least!) The gameplay loop works really well with the theme. Only complaint I have is that it got a little repetitive after a while, and I felt like could've gone on for a lot longer if I didn't get a bit bored after 6 minutes. Maybe some more variation with other enemy types to avoid would've been cool to see! Good work on the game!
A cute little gardening game! I love the graphics and the music works really well. One thing I had trouble with is the grid targeting. It seemed to me like the target sometimes appeared slightly diagonally behind my character which made it really difficult to interract with the environment. I also encountered a softlock bug when I harvested and then quickly pressed a movment key. It would prevent me from moving at all after that.
So aside from those two issues I enjoyed my time with the game. Good job!
Pretty game and I like the management type gameplay, I just wish there would've been something more to do while your people are doing their thing. I know it's cliche for a game like this but maybe a clicker mechanic? Either way, beautiful presentation, but I wish there was audio as well!
This is excellent. I procrabstinated for 6 minutes!
The graphics are really pretty, and I love the intro sequence. After I got the firepower and I think I may have gotten stuck, or maybe I just couldn't figure out what to do so I feel like I can't really judge your game on all aspects sadly. Good effort though!
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a game jam I think. This just rocks!
This is really really nice and polished! Super unique take on the bullet hell formula. The different themes are a nice touch. Definitely nailed the presentation!
Very nice game! Love the presentation a lot, and the little story flavor adds quite a bit to the overall mood of the game. The only thing i can complain about really is that I think the music is a little too repetitive. Other than that this is a really solid puzzle game!
A very cool concept! Had fun with all the messages :)
Really really beautiful presentation and execution of the theme! I have troubles clearing one of the first puzzles and after a while of retrying it seems like my fuse stopped burning, I'm guessing it might be a bug but I'm not sure what caused it.
Except the unfortunate (what I assume is) bug I at least enjoyed the presentation a lot. The controls also felt really tight.
Really clean graphics and tight controls! I wish there was a little bit more variation since it got a little repetitive after a while, but overall I had fun playing this game! Good work
Beautiful presentation! I love the feedback the game gives whenever you hit the meteors, it feels really satisfying. I wish there were some more reason to use A and D to move around, perhaps some smaller metereorites could fall and stun you if you got hit or something similar. The upgrades all feel incredibly satisfying and by the end I felt like a god hahah. Good job on your game!!
I like the idea but unfortunately I had trouble with the controls. Other than that the presentation is really nice and the spritework is gorgeous! Good job on the game!
Wow this is incredible! The presentation is perfectly executed both in terms of graphics and audio. The character design is super cool and some of the graphics and audio reminds me of cave story. Good job on creating something super super polished in such a short amount of time!
This is super cool and innovative! I love how the game changed as you entered different boss phases. The different heroes were funny too! As a musician who loves symphonic metal as wel.... shoutout to Mr Kraus for creating an epic soundtrack!!
Adorable graphics and music! Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation, though I'm not too sure on what I feel about the sprite based arms. The overall loop was pretty good but I would've liked to have more of a motivation to keep pushing the debris. Also, the volcano is very cute!
This is really cool! It's totally nailing a certain psychadelic vibe. It kinda reminds me of the surfing stages from Rayman 3 lol. I don't think I got very far because I'm terrible when controls have friction, but I reached the part with the electric guitars.
Really cool stuff!
This music is incredible! Is the music available anywhere?
@erik-bria You seriously did an incredible job on this. Going to forward this score to my teammates.
And to everyone else on the team, good job on the game as well. I didn't get very far sadly but I like the way you implemented the theme for sure!
The main loop was fun, but I feel like there should've been some more variation to the loop, like maybe playing more around the player needing to prioritize different tasks in order to survive longer. As it was right now, I had no issue running between all the tasks and completing them all.
The gameplay felt smooth and the controls worked really well. Good job on the game!
This is incredible! I had to play the dowlnoaded version as the block caused a crash in the WebGL version, but the game was really really fun and punishing. Great job!
Very responsive controls. The music reminded me of Axel F at the beginning :D
I don't know if I did something wrong or if it as a bug, but I can't seem to pick up some pentagrams. The graphics are really cute but the controls feel very stiff unfortunately. Great job finishing your game though!
I'm really bad at this game :D but it was fun! I thouroughly enjoyed the smooth animations and the presentation in general. Controls felt good as well! Good job!
I like this! It reminds me of the home run contest from smash bros! :D
A very cool concept! I loved the visual aesthetic of your game and the small things to do. I tried to jump up on the right side of the level by stacking llamas (or horses?) on top of each other but I failed miserably. A fun little sandbox game :). Good job!
Awesome game design and I really love the pixel 3D box!
@dylan-h Thank you! We're looking into what happened. Seems to be a minor issue with read/write permissions on certain files breaking during compilation...
@dylan-h Aaaand there we go! A working build is up.
@calcopod Thanks for your nice comment and feedback! The volume slider and the gun are mechanics that gets introduced in the mid/late levels. Sadly they both had further functionality that had to be cut but it's still possible to use them to your advantage in those levels. Thank you for your feedbck!
@pacodev Thanks for playing and thank you for the feedback :)!
@coderaurus Thanks for the kind words and feedback!
5/5 audio for obvious reasons.
Extremely polished and fun. My favorite so far! Controls were awesome!!
Super charming and atmospheric! I liked the dual character control scheme :D
very charming game! splendid artwork
