I think that using up arrow for jump instead of n would be more comfortable but I got used to this after while. The difficulity was fine, it's boring if the game is not challenging. Didn't match the theme much, however, fun to play.
I found it little bit difficul because of French, but overall look is pretty cool :)
Nice animations, and that annoying looping frog... But was it?
Very nice game, nice graphics and funny gameplay.
I find the controls little bit uncomfortable. I would use arrows for movement and some keys on the left side of the keyboard for special actions.
There is not enough fish to grow up. I always end up after I ate like 2 small fish and there was nothing more to eat.
Nice game. One villager ran away from me out of the map so I could'n eat him :)
Very nice game, enjoyable, cool level load animation and overall aesthetics :)
I would like to see monsters I wasbuying but it was not readable for me :(
The background was very uncomfortable for my eyes, especially the top black part.
The web player is annoying without the ability of fullscreen mode, because while I am moving mouse around to move the camera i move it outside the player and I can"t click.
Nicely done! I really enjoyed particles and sounds. Aaai!
I played the web version and the caracters were just rectangles. I felt sorry for the defenseless enemies I was killing.
Anyway nice game for your first try. I liked the graphics style with the light around the character and darkness around.
Why did you make so difficult and addictive :D Anyway it's amazing and super fun. The controls could be little faster, but the slow controls might be the key factor that makes it so addictive. I just wonder if anyone could ever survive for more than a few seconds? Good job anyway.
It's nice to see some VR games here. The shooting is accurate and I can see some potential in the concept. Anyway I found some little bugs in the game. I was able to shoot my own mast. The back button the game is not working at all(tested on Nexus 5x). It would be very nice if you could add some more gameplay into the scene.
The graphics is good, the sound does not disturb me and the UI is simple but understandable. Nice job
Good idea, the main menu feels really ancient :D Controls are good, the game feels smooth and the camera tilt is awesome way how to get a little bit more perspective to 2D game. I just didn't get what the F does, I assume it was kind of powerup. Maybe add a effect to it so it will be more distinct? Anyway, cool game!
The gameplay was smooth, nice art style and at least I had some goal (all the crystals!). Anyway I would love to see the highest score somewhere and maybe more upgrades? Nicely done, good work.
Great puzzle game I would love to have more levels maybe with more towers
=== Graphics and animation ===
Nice and feels really good.
=== Gameplay ===
It gets boring after while, but I like it after in general
=== Sound ===
The foot steps are really nice and ambient sound is really great.
=== Controls ===
Nothing to complicated, but the message "You must be closer" is simply not visible at all.
But thank you for the 15 minutes I have played that.
I wasn't able to built something that would looks like a pyramid but it was still enjoyable, espacially throwing rocks on the workers. Also the worker dance was funny.
It would be good to lock the mouse in bounds, because I was always moving it outside (it might be problem for web version only).
Good concept and the simplicity of the graphics are enhancing the feeling of old wall painting but the shooting needs some time to get used to.
== Graphics ==
The graphic elements are nice, I really like it. But my MacBook PRO had very low frame rate.
== Controls ==
I did not find a way how to control the rest characters (Player 2 - Player 4) But I guess I need a joypad or something else. But I am missing some description for the controls.
== UI ==
I have Acdantelly clicked the "ONLINE in development" button and I had to quit the game. Then I started game of two players and I had no choice to go back in the menu. In general, the UX is not very good and need a lot of work. The player select buttons are not intuitive at all.
== Gameplay ==
Well fighting game, there is nothing much to say.
Nice idea how to make platformer game more interesting, really liked the concept. I would add arrows to control movement, so you can use one hand for movement and other for controlling the cable.
It looks awesome on screenshots and I was looking forward to play it, however, when I try to start the OS/X version, it tells: The application "mystery" can't be opened.
It's simple but kind of funny. I would make the whole game faster. It would be also nice to have some kind of failed screen, when you fail to deliver all logs.
It needs more description how to play, I didn't understand what I am supposed to do.
Nice concept. It would be good to see what tool the person has equiped.
Few bugs I've noticed:
- When the person is standing in the shrine, you are unable to assign them a tool, because it opens shrine
- Sometimes the number of resources was not rounded and showed something like 14.99999997777
Very simple game, but nicely done. I love the way you handled the theme, which is awesome. There are few little things that disturbed me from game. First one was sounds, which is provisional i hope? :) And the second one, a minor one, I really wanted to see some death when the block hits the people down there :D Thanks for the game. Awesome!
It wasn't bad, but even without doing anything the first level was cleared so I didn't really grasp how to control the game. Probably just needs some tweaking to make it more challenging.
Good job, but I dont like few things, thre is a lack of UI in the game, I almost did not read the "spacebar to continue" and still feels really buggy to me. On the other hand if you synthesied the ambient music, that is pretty cool. I like it.
I like the dinosaur art. Also I can confirm it works on OS/X.
Well made simple game with good dynamics, just as mentioned before it adds to gameplay when all objects have some kind of reaction. Art and sound go very well together on this.
Nice idea. Just there is very hard to avoid the shots if it comes from behind because you dont see them up front.
I like the music, but the levels seems very dark to me. And I dont think it is necesary. Of corse, you should find the "keys".
The graphics and models are not bad, but I dont like the mix of polygon design and low resolution texture of the floor (the net) in the room where shots come trough. I am not sure if it suppose to go trough.
Well thought throught, one of those "what will happen if I change something in the past". I especially love the scene with Angel Johnson and also the guy with important mission and idea what it is.
Also the conversations have some interesting options and they feel very natural.
EPIC EXPRIANCE!
The battle feels and looks very nice. It is amazing how much did you done In the given timeframe. I am missing some UI elements and the map is not very easy to read, but player can use to it in a while. Also the map is kind of empty, I would suggest to add more asteroids.
But overall I enjoyed the game and hope you will continue in the work.
Nice graphics and funny gameplay.
I like the old text adventure type. But I never get stuck on it :D Great job, but sadly not my favorite type.
Altrough the best way how to express ancient technology. I played this type of game a lot of years ago. And this was a nice reminder thank you for that.
Amazing game! It's probably one of the best games I met here even though I find the controls to be a little difficult. Anyway the spikes hidden behind the clouds are too tricky and sometimes they are impossible to spot. Overall the complexity of the game and the graphics are amazing. Good job.
Nice, very nice! Took me a while to figure out the teleport gun. The second click was kind of surprise but other than that very nice! Good job, especially for 72 hours!
I like the original art style.
It would be good to add more info about how the actions affect the income and expenses.
I also wonder whether it is possilble to win the auction or found something through archeology, I was always outbid and found nothing.
Arena fighting with catapults? Cool idea! Very nice visuals but the controls. The controls were weirds, Drifting all over arena and AI targeting mostly me. But overall good concepts and very nice visuals.
Very good concept, I like how you can convince player that thats not the right way in just a few tries :D With better controls and improved graphics this could be really cool logic game. Good work!
Very nice idea. Controls are hard but once you get used to it, it's fine. However, I think it should move faster, it takes way to long to move from the resources part to the wall part.
Nice idea. Anyway it took me a few minutes to understand the gameplay and the controls. I can imagine the game having some beautiful assets and fast gameplay. It's the exact kind of game I'm looking for while being on a tram.
I really do hope you will finish this, that end! I want to know how it ends!
I really like the combination of text game with some slight logic mini games! Interesting story! Nicely done.
To point out PROS first: I really like the game idea. It is always fun to drive and shoot. The terrain is fine, but I would expect the desert to be more curvy than pointy. Last but not least, I love detail of the model. Looks great.
On the other hand, the handling of the car is unrealistic from my point of view, when I drive fast it takes a lot of time to make the car stop or decelerate. Interia of movement is very big and it does not slow down naturally.
But for the given time frame, considering you did all the programming by yourself great work and keep on working.
Nice job, I like it. It is nice game for a short play in two players. I would like to see some turn gameplay, when one player watch the other to take action. But overall it is nice. Maybe I am also missing some ambient sound or music.
The gray text on black background is terrible idea. I like puzzle games, but in my humble opinion you should explain how the mechanics work in step by step tutorial to allow player understand it. I just was not able to start any motion and it get me frustrated so I quit the game.
Holy F! That was amazing! Precisely done, good gameplay and the best atmosphere from all games I've played yet. Even though I'm not a huge fan of this art style, it just somehow was the right one. Super polished, finished game! Very good job.
I just found few small things I would fix. First one, I had my mouse visible and the buttons didn't respond to my clicks. If you want to control your game just with keyboard, hide the mouse. Second one, just add some effect after you click on New Game. I had to wait few seconds before the level started and some people could think its not working at all. Simple fade out would be enough.
Awesome!
This is pretty good idea. The game mechanics are cool. I just wish there were some HUD so I could know my current stats. Please do more levels!
I think it would be more comfortable to add arrows to the controls.
Well, it was a simple game and unfortunately I got killed many times. I couldnt switch from bow back to spear when the wolf was attacking me... And I thought it's missing some part of the gameplay...
Anyway, its a good start, work on that more!
Nice arkanoid game. I enjoeyd the game untill I was spawning every brick of type (scarab brick) Then the game dropped frame rate and I did not have to do anything to get more score. Please find this video attached http://take.ms/OKr9Q to see it in action. This totally ruined the difficulty. But the sounds and graphics are fine, Sometimes I was able to bounce the scarab from my foot or body, I dont know if it is a bug or feature.
I would like to see some modification bricks for the scarabs, which would modify the gameplay.
Really nice job.
Hello, we would like to thank you all. Your comments gave us a lot of energy to continue in the game development. We are aware that the animation could be better and we had a few issues with sounds. But we are prepared to fix it.
We are going to let you know what will happen to the game in future on our Twitter channel . If you want to be updated don't hesitate and follow us on twitter http://www.twitter.com/lonelyvertex
Wow. Amazing game. It brings me back to the childhood when I used to play Dungeon Master. Anyway I first played the game without the sound so i didnt realised i stepped over the button in the first corridor so i got confused how to open the first gate, i tried the torch next to the door like million times :). Keep working on it and create more levels!
ohhh it reminds me of my old Nintendo. Very well done! i wish you implemented some sounds to the game, but the gameplay is clear, fast and fun. What are your ideas for the next levels? This concept might get little repetitive after while.
Well, this seams like a start of something great. Since this is very early stage of the development. I like that you have the game in Java and the art style is pretty cool. I would love to see more mechanics than just walking. Is there an option to chop down the trees with your axe [key 3] ?
A lot of different interesting ideas but what bothers me is that the level actually starts even before I can press the space (sometimes gets me killed before I start). My personal favourite was diving.
Great game to pass time and train your focus, the UI is very intuitive.
Amazing graphics. But the controls are very difficult using just Mac's touchpad. I wish there were more of a gameplay, but the idea is cool. Overall the visuals and sounds are amazing and i'm looking forward to play the updated post jam version.
