Well done for doing it in such a short period of time !
It's a classic but it works well.
The only thin that frustrated me a bit, you should allow more time before spawning a new piece when the current one touches the "ground"
Nice work anyway !
Nice little game, as the others said, some music and/or sound effect would really polish the game.
I had fun while playing and makes you think "Do I go there to get the upgrade or should I fight the boss now ?"
Great work !
Played both versions and liked it very much !
Must love the fart humor here :slight_smile:
I had some kind of bug on the post compo version where my hit points would never decrease when I hit a monster.
You think that makes the game so easy ? Well, the plunger spawned into the wall so I could not grab it and since there can only be one at a time, I had all the time in the world to watch myself die slowly...
Very nice little game overall !
The controls do take quite a while to get used to though.
Keep it up mate !
I... I don't get it.
Clearly, based on the other comments I must be missing something but from what I experienced, I'm just running around, shooting endless waves of leeches until the armory's doors close and I found myself helpless and ammoless.
I could use a little guidance to fully appreciate the game.
As other mentionned, the lack of vertical attack is really painful sometimes :slight_frown:
But it's really fun to play and replay to beat your highscore !
The online leaderboard is a nice addition to be able to compare your score to everyone else.
The sound is a bit loud though, you should consider lowering it a bit.
Dans l'ensemble, super jeu, je me suis bien amusé en y jouant !
Continuez comme ça les gars :slight_smile:
I had a lot of trouble getting used to the controls.
Using the spacebar to fire and W to jump is very counter intuitive when used to playing other games.
Would have liked spacebar to jump and LMB to fire.
The concept is very nice but man it is a hard game !
You should maybe scale the difficulty a bit down to ease a bit the progression.
The graphics are simple but effective, just like the sound effects.
Overall a nice little game.
Fun little game !
The controls do feel a bit weird to use, I would have prefered LMB to shoot and space to jump, I died numerous times because I fired instead of jumping and vice versa.
But nice game overall, keep it up !
Very nice game !
Easy to understand and pickup but yet very fun to play !
The voiceover is epic on every level ! :smile:
Can I get some thoughts and prayers though ?
I was rushing through the heat of wave 6 and I lost track of my fingers on my keyboard and... I accidently pressed F5 and refreshed to game... :sweat_smile:
The music is catchy and effective !
Overall, nice one guys !
Awesome game !
I had a nice first playthrough and then I thought, "I can be faster !"
So my next plan was to try and speedrun your game to see how fast it can be beaten and currently my record is 1min 00s 10 !
I had no luck on the High Low for this run so I guess it's feasible to get below 1 min !
Keep it up mate !
@ursagames I did an any% glitchless run so I not try to find any exotic, I might try it today, I'll keep you updated on my best run
Interesting game !
Took me a while to make my first delivery !
First time I got real close to it, I got hit by a last minute asteroid and spun to my death a few seconds later...
You should maybe consider lowering the amount of asteroids at first and slowly increase it to train the player.
Very good game overall, good job !
I roamed aimlessly for about 5 min without finding anything despite following arrown shaped rocks and then I got stuck forever in a tent... haha
Too bad there is no music or sound of any sort to go with it.
Maybe a bigger "screen size" to be able to see from a bit further away ?
Anyway, good work, keep it up.
Very nice ! One of the best games I have tested out there !
The music is very catchy and effective.
I had a bit of trouble understanding the concept (silly me) but it feels natural after some death, haha !
Loved the implementation of the theme, get quite challenging as you need to plan to not trap yourself.
The only downside is there is no sorts of way to know in advance if this particular move is far enough from a wall to survive or not.
You could add a clue as part of an "easy mode" to be able to get a feeling of the distance you need to travel to land safely.
Anyway, awesome entry, well done !
The game could definitely use a title screen / pause menu / restart button on game over.
And a tutorial should be there too, if not in the game because you ran out of time, at least in the description of your game here :slight_smile:
I played for like 5 minutes, placing farms and parks randomly, watching the happiness bar go from "neutral" to "suicidal" without knowing what I did wrong.
Place more parks ? Nope. More farms ? Nope.
And the defeat reason is not very obvious, I had no idea I was about to loose when I did.
On the other hand, the graphics are simple but effective, works very well with the game.
The music is simple, yes, but relaxing enough to fit your game.
Overall it's not bad, it just needs some polishing here and there.
Add this to a new version I can try! :slight_smile:
Nice concept !
I really like the audio navigation though it kinda feels hard to follow when you're in the middle of several batteries.
At first I was like "Sooo, how does this game fit the theme", and then the allocator came in and I thought that was a pretty clever use of the theme.
Makes you think before destroying every corrupted wall you encounter.
Keep up the good work !
Awesome mood on this game !
The different radio stations really nail it and I had to turn off Industrial because is was so stressful xD
The graphics are really simple but you did a great job with it !
I drove aimlessly for like 10 days without finding anything forth interest so you kinda lost me here, haha.
But it's a very unique and interesting game even though I didn't see where you used the theme...
Anyway, keep up the good work guys !
That's a nice game !
It is a bit short, I had no problem finishing it once I new what was going on but it works pretty well !
Loved the "Gabe Renewal" reference !
The music is simple but catchy.
Nice work overall guys !
Nice little game, played it through and I think it's nice even though the "sliding" physics does get some time to get used to.
The wall jumps sometimes felt inconsistent with one another and I got very frustrated when I used a cake because I was just pixels away from the wall to wall jump :slight_frown:
As the others said, the theme is not really present in its original form but you added a nice twist to it.
Keep it up !
My haaaaand !
At first when I saw the warning and started playing I was like "Welp, this isn't hand breaking..." and THEN the big guys start appearing and I was like "WHAAAAAAT, there's too many of them !"
You should consider increasing the ennemies' damage, the health bar drops quite slowly imo.
Maybe add some powerup to actually reward the player for getting this far in the game.
But please... Allow constant shooting if I hold my LMB !
Anyway, nice little game overall, especially if it is one of your first game.
Keep it up !
Is it me or is this game kinda hard ?
I had troubling getting past wave 2... xD
The graphics are simple enough to understand what's going on :stuck_out_tongue:
The game could use powerups to spice up the ghame a little bit
The controls feel a bit jarring, you should have kept the momentum when turning instead of stopping and restarting, makes dodging even harder than it already is.
Too bad there is no music/sound, it could have brought a nice touch to the game :slight_smile:
Nice game !
I kept on trying but my failures were legion...
I could swear I lost sometimes even though I'm SURE the pizza guy was sideways !
Anyway, the music fits very well, has a neat italian touch to it.
Overall a nice experience, keep it up guys !
Love the bass line on the music !
You should scale the difficulty down a bit, I lost quite a few times at first just because I was getting used to the gameplay/physics of the game.
Maybe throw fewer box at first and then slowly accelerate ?
The shredder is so hard to aim !
I spent like 30 solid seconds throwing and missing the "enter", am I just bad ? xD
Anyway, good game overall, has a nice "rush" feeling to it, keep it up !
Loved the mechanics !
Stupid me didn't read the instructions correctly so during my first playthrough I thought I wsa supposed to make as much 8 block as possible... xD
One thing though, if the number spawn is really random, you should consider tweaking it, I had to deliver compute a 5 but couldn't get any block below 4 or 5 for a certain amount of time, takes up quite a bit of space rapidly :slight_frown:
Overall it's a very nice and unique game, well done !
Wow, this one is fast !
I had to retry the FIRST level like 10 times before I could complete it.
The main reason being : it's never written anywhere that I need to CLICK to gather items... xD
You should allow more time in the tutorials levels imho.
Oh and the reset button is hardly visible when your game is played fullscreen using 1920x1080 resolution, just to let you know !
Congrats on your first LD anyway, keep making games !
@chaitae Happens to the best vegans there is, don't worry :slight_smile:
@devwithmartinus thanks ! The music was made quickly and I wanted something simple yet catchy, glad you felt it !
@stefan-jovanovic Thank you ! The speed scales both with the levels and the difficulty. Although I do admit it gets very hard on the last level, even on "Easy" difficulty xD
@awesomealliterationalliance Thanks for the kind words ! We had a lot more planned if we had time but we preferred to stick to simple first and add more if we get the chance. We are quite happy with what we achieved here :slight_smile:
@doubleblackstudios Thank you ! Yeah the "I messed up" sound is a bit louder than the other sounds, sorry about that... :wink:
@drums wow thanks a lot ! This means a lot to us ! Nice of you to notice our twist to the theme, we actually thought it through when brainstorming, should the running out of space be a good or a bad thing ? We can only hope for the first humor place !
@matoux42 Thank you :slight_smile:
@erikiene thanks, don't forget to share your high score !
@roman-petrov Nice to know you enjoyed the game, Thank you for your comment !
@furiouswitch Thank you the detailed feedback and nice words ! The speed of the "projectiles" does scale with difficulty but yeah, it's very difficult in the latest levels. As for the theme it's kind of a subtle approach, it's just that you want to run out of space between your walls but I admit it's not very obvious. Anyway, Thank you for playing our game !
@yami-no-tenshi-8 Thanks ! Our artist spent quite some time drawing him overweight like that, glad you liked it !
Agreed on the speed of the collectibles in the later levels, it's kind of impossible the way the game is xD
You ate a cat ?! You monster...
@wrenpirate hope you ate a lot of vegetables to make up for your atrocious murder !
Thank you for your nice feedback !
We might on a version with slower rotation speed and a slower cuve for the speed of the projectiles.
@t8kk Thank you ! Yeah, we thought it would be part of the game to guess which "Food" is edible and which isn't ^^
Nice little game you got there !
As a lot of people stated, the entering/exiting wiring mode is kinda awkward to use, you should always be able to draw the wires. It would avoid a lot of the frustration induced by this mechanic.
The core gameplay is very well suited for the theme and quite interesting and I played quite a bit even thgough I really really suck at this kind of game... xD
As others stated, the bug on the tooltips ruins a bit of the game as I didn't know what to do when I got the "Replicate" gate but the game kept telling me it was a "Add gate".
If you address these issues and add more levels to it, it would do a perfect mobile game for people who like torture their brain when playing :smile:
Keep up the good work, I'll check the future updates for sure !
Very nice game !
The mood is definitely present and that music is really relaxing (although a bit repetitive :stuck_out_tongue: )
I couldn't get to 2500 followers as it is quite long to get there in my opinion and I apparently didn't get the best strat :slight_frown:
You should maybe add a "Joker" system where you can reroll a finite amount of time the ad or news you got to ease a little bit the difficulty.
Overall it is a very nice game, keep up the good work ! :smiley:
@daniel-abeleira thank you !
@deathbysnail thank you for the feedback ! Making the spikes pop out more was definitely on our todo list but we didn't have enough time to make it happen. We might release a patched version with enhanced visibility on them.
Hey @durist thanks for letting us know. What kind of trouble do you have ? Does it not load ? Is it laggy ?
Hello @muzigpuzig ! Thank you for the detailed feedback ! The music is supposed to be more and more epic as the Bat God gets angrier and angrier. We are aware there is a spot where you can't get out if you fall into it. We will release a patched version of the game that fixes this among other things. There is a pause menu if you hit the "Esc" key that allows you to restart the game :wink:
Hi @joramwolters :slight_smile: Thank you for your time ! Can you tell us which part of the art feels out of place ? As we said above, we know about the spikes not being visible enough. Hope you can come back and play again when we'll have a patched version ! Cheers !
@arc1llusion thank you ! Please check our game again soon-ish to play the patched version with enhanced graphics for the spikes !
@antoine-vion well, if you killed a lot of chicken and had fun doing it, that's a win for us !
@trevor-hayes Nice of you to point out the increasing tension in the music, I'm sure our composer will appreciate that ! I'm sure you can do it ! You might wanna check again when a patched version will be out :slight_smile: We're considering adding an "easy" mode, that has less threats, why not a checkpoint system, thanks for the idea !
@1257th-or-nothing thank you for playing our game !
We're currently working on a patched version that will be fairer to the player (more visible spikes, better jumps).
It should be live very soon and will be followed by another patch that will include, amongst other things, a tutorial, an easy mode, a better UI, etc !
Stay tuned ! :smile:
@jk5000 Thanks for the review ! There is actually sound effects in the game, but we didn't have much time to mix the sound properly during the event. Did you try the patched version ? It includes a volume mixer from within the game options ! Hopefully you'll give it a try !
First, very nice game, played through all of it, I freed the monkeys and had a great experience doing so.
The visuals are very good although it is sometimes hard to make the difference between what is a "minable" wall and what is the edge of the level, but that’s a minor complaint.
The soundtrack is awesome, loved it and the sound design with all the monkey noises, very sweet addition. I’m not sure if it was intended but there’s quite a bit of "crackling" in the music which I’m not really a fan of.
I had some minor sprite overlap at some point :
2021-04-30 09_29_54-Monkey Quest by My Sweet Whomp.png
And one time I could not buy a heart upgrade and did not know the reason why (I had enough money) :
2021-04-30 09_33_50-Monkey Quest by My Sweet Whomp.png
The one thing I was not a fan of was the spawning of monsters when you mine.
I get the reason, it’s to make you take a decision, should I mine to get money or should I avoid it to not die.
But the thing is, you can always have enough money to buy the upgrades by mining the bare minimum of blocks so it’s not the best implementation in my opinion.
Overall though, I had a very fun time, the game is quite long for a jam so congrats, you made a very cool game, keep it up !
Very nice atmosphere, the key hole at the end is a very nice touch !
The controls on the ground feel very smooth and snappy but while flying, it does seem a bit slow though.
But very cool game overall, nice soundtrack and some synthwave vibes, keep it up ! :thumbsup:
Nice little game ! I liked the ambiance and overall aesthetics of the game. I would have preferred a mouse click to use selected action instead of E but that's a minor complaint. And I found a bug that makes to game crash : in the final room that says "thank you for playing", if you press 3 and then fire the flare gun, the game crashes. But cool game, well done !
@iak Wow, thank you very much for your nice story ! I take it you liked our game then, thank you for playing !
@brutor GG and thank you for playing !
@labete thank you for your feedback ! It does take a bit of time to get used to how much you can dig before going back to sell your minerals but as soon as you start upgrading your equipment it gets easier
@giordas thank you very much for your kind words, it means a lot to us ! Glad you had a good time and thank you for playing our game !
@duckman Thank you for your review ! The "stressfulness" of running out of oxygen is definitely intended, glad you could feel it, haha ! Thank you for playing
@deedose thank you for your feedback ! You know, there can't only be one planet out there that has a heart, each one has to have one :) With a bit more time we could have achieved a proper ending but better than nothing ! Thank you for playing our game !
@mighty-mufflon-games thank you !
Hope you managed to get a planet heart ! :smile:
@skleembof We added a webGL version of the game, maybe give this version a shot ?
@zazab thank you for the kind words !
@lelek-hunor-kadosa Thank you ! We wanted the game to not be too long so that testers for the jam could finish the game without spending an hour or two.
@egercreator Thank you, glad you liked the game !
@chiyeon Congrats on getting the planet heart ! I KNOW about the sounds, I'm the one usually in charge of sound design and after recording a drill to make the sound and modifying it so much I thought "hey, this is a nice button click sound, let's use this !" and totally forgot to make the drilling sound for real...
@adil Thanks for the feedback ! We kept the game relatively easy so that you could play through it pretty fast to get to the end.
@retro-banana-man-nl Thank you for your feedback and suggestions ! The display of ore price was definitely on our todo list but we didn't manage to have enough time to do it unfortunately.
@tengusheath Thanks for the kind words ! As stated above, I know too much about the lack of drlling sound, it haunts me since then, haha.
@marcionix Glad you liked it !
@maybeagoose Thank you for that, we appreciate it !
@edouardlapoire Thank you very much for your kind words ! Hope you could get your hands on a planet heart after buying all the upgrades ! Thenk you for your suggestions !
@asdehielo Congrats for your heart, you're rich my friend ! See above for the missing of sound effect for the drilling, haha. Thank you for your review !
@divagated Well done for your planet heart, hope you enjoyed getting it !
@markositta Thanks !
@quoc thank you for your review !
@googlefrog it's a bit slow at first yes, definitely something to tweak if we had enough time. The drill level increase the damage your drill does per tick and the drill speed allows your damage to tick faster, if you wanted to know :)
@nice-gear-games The movement is definitely a bit too fast for sure, we tweaked it but the change never made it to the final build, haha ! Jumping does not consume energy, only using the jetpack does. For the lack of sound effect, see several answers above, haha, thank you for your feedback !
@amigopadilha Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed our little game !
@paulloz Thank you for your feedback, we'll keep these advices in mind for our next game !
@dom-de-re Glad you enjoyed our game !
@goldenevolution Thanks for the review !
@finntastico Thank you for the kind words, interesting idea for the teleporter to follow you, we'll keep this in mind ! :)
@xpoho Спасибо, что играете в нашу игру, рада, что она вам понравилась!
@doctortm Thank you ! The lack of up/down mining is totally explained in the lore :angel:
@garys Thank you very much for your nice review ! Glad you liked the adaptive music !
@zathnic Thank you for your review and the suggestions ! Adding variety to the planets was definitely on our todo list, we also had slightly different dirt to complement that but unfortunately we didn’t have enough time for that. Glad you liked our game !
Very nice game, cool graphics, love the nostalgia vibe, and kudos for doing a mobile game for the jam !
The music is nice even though it’s a bit repetitive.
The scaling is on point, very nicely done, never felt too easy or too hard to buy the upgrades.
The difference between "auto" and "speed" is quite hard to grasp at first.
Overall, I enjoyed playing through it and very nice choice of music for the end screen, had me chuckling, keep it up !
Managed to get WR with a sub 20s time, pretty proud !
Very sweet game ! Nicely done, nice graphics, funny sounds.
The intro is very well put together, we can feel the distress of Ludu as she awakens and the magical carrot is gone. And a wholesome final screen with every character eating a cake together :heart:
