I found it hilarious, but the speed of the gameplay and the location of the bars makes it so I can't even really watch the game in the middle. Great art, audio and humor, but the gameplay needs some tweaking. (twerking?)
Good game even though you're fighting the inevitable and the game is just about managing sliders. Great atmosphere and mood.
Wonderful graphics and audio, but the gameplay was just a slog to try getting through with the controls. I loved the feel of the game, though, and it has the best mood I've seen yet!
Great idea lol. Really fun and addicting!!!
Single. Best. Entry. Yet! Super fun, quirky, humorous, addicting... Just wish there was more!
Great fun! Would love to see it developed more as a platformer/racer. Just needs some health pickups! Focusing on making smaller levels instead of a massive open world would be an awesome way to move this project forward.
Hard to understand and audio would've helped a ton, but it was really quite quirky and enjoyable!!
Would've been nice if it was more like Katamari where you get infinitely bigger, but it was pretty fun navigating around the map.
Thanks for the feedback! I sadly didn't have time to work on balance before the submission time ended, but I did spend a few hours afterwards working on tweaking the gameplay and adding new features in. I wish I could go in and balance it out, but I feel that that would go against the rules.
Thanks for all the feedback! :) It's great to hear where I went wrong and what I can improve for post-post compo release!
The negative money was originally a bug, but I think I'll keep it since it's a trade-off between going into the red or being able to build more units. It adds a bit of risk reward whether you should buy that expensive money generator or buy some cheaper things first.
I'll try fixing the bug with the tool tips, or just remove them completely. I couldn't find the source of the bug before release, so I just left it in since it was a bit of help at the beginning of the game.
Again, thanks for the feedback! It's much appreciated!
Good use of the theme! There's promise here, even though it feels unfinished. Could be really cool if it was finished!
Interesting typing game! Could be made into something a lot deeper, but with only 2 buttons I think it's great! Just needs more stuff to become better.
Good use of both themes! I found it a bit difficult to figure out how to get everything to work, but it worked well in the time constraints.
Theme didn't fit very well, but everything else was stellar!! Great graphics, gameplay, and limited (and funny) story. Thumbs up for this entry!!!
I thought it fit the theme well and I enjoyed it. However I found it a bit slow and hard to control the vine. Really impressive vine generation for only 48 hours!
Wow, for some reason, despite the slow movement speed, I stuck with it and enjoyed it quite a bit! Maybe it's because it reminded me of Paperboy for some reason... The view could be changed slightly because when Santa goes behind walls he isn't visible at all. Solid entry!!
The graphics made it hard to see the steps sometimes (maybe intentional?) but I found it pretty interesting and made great use of the theme!
Wonderful game, though the graphics were almost too cryptic. I kept thinking that one power up was the laser. Very difficult, but part of the game. Really well made!!
Some fun gameplay here, but very difficult. Needs some balancing but it is quite good! The audio was a bit off somewhere, whether it was just volume balancing or something else, I can't quite put my finger on it...
Beautiful! Great gameplay and some really great graphics as well! I beat the dragon first try, but didn't get a chance to see what statues do. Or what would happen if I climbed the tower. Definitely should replay this one!
I really enjoyed it! I didn't realize till I was a few levels in that the enemies moved to the (really great) music. It kind of added a nice element where I timed my movements around the music to avoid bullets and enemies. I thought the use of the theme wasn't the greatest, but the fun was there, which is one of the most important parts!
No Mac here :( Look really interesting!!
Art is great, but I don't really think it relates to either theme very much and needs some more instructions on how to play. I also didn't feel like my choices affected anything much, so it needs improvement there too. It's a good idea, though!
Great everything, though the fluidity of the swinging could be a bit smoother. Really enjoyed it, though! Reminds me of part of the game "Brothers: Tale of Two Sons". Didn't play with a second person, but that sounds like a good thing to do soon!
Would play but mac only :( Looks interesting though!
Wonderful! I listened to your steam as background music/a distraction and I knew before I played the game that it would be addicting. Wonderfully made, deserves to be at the very top!
