The song is pretty chill considering there are literally zombies in the hall... Fun game! One remark, please add the arrows as well as WASD for moving the player, many people prefer using those keys.
Really fun, it's a good idea to show the enemy health with colors because you know instantly which ones to target at first and whether you have to avoid them. Gameplay is a little rigid in my opinion, but still nice job.
Best game so far
Chill concept, quite soothing.
Very cool music and general mood! If I may have a suggestion, the controls need some rework because it's hard to navigate between moving the player and moving the box: first make the jump button on W or up, and if the player presses that button in box move mode, he should automatically switch to player mode and jump.
Why is this game taking 100% GPU and 50% CPU :(
Apart from that it's ok, the graphics are simple and nice.
Super fun and the limited space mechanism is a good concept.
Hard to understand, I only got good after my first game over.
Doesn't really fit the them despite what you say :)
Cool idea but it's very frustrating. I die a lot and I don't want to see the intro screen each time, just let restart quickly, and don't restart the music! Also it's a strange choice of keys, not very practical. Apart from that, it's fun and the art style is very good.
It's a really cool game, 5/5, had plenty of fun (scored 9461)! And the music is great. One remark though, I think game over should not be triggered as long as you have colony resources, if you have no more purple pop, it should just stop the counter and let you place a new colony anywhere.
It's a fun twist on the snake game but it's a little frustrating because rocks may spawn in front of your face and it's not fair and because the controls are not great (I'm not sure but sometimes I felt like some inputs were not taken into account). Good visuals, sound effect are ok.
Killed the old crew, crushed their skull with my foot :)
It was not clear what to do at first, it took a few minutes to understand, but once I did it was fun to play, and quite easy. Nice concept! Doesn't really fit the theme though.
Pretty fun, was not expecting a d*** measuring contest ;)
Super clean game with good puzzle design! My only regret is that there's no Undo, but apart from that it's flawless :)
What's up with my GPU going 100%
Good puzzle design! One suggestion: when you move against a wall, it should not count as a turn because you know the next thing you have to do is pressing 'undo' - btw having undo on the Z key and restart on the R would have been a plus.
Unfortunately I'm not on Linux :/
A multiplayer game that needs an emulator to run... You don't expect a lot of reviews, do you?
Well I installed it and tried it (alone), the game was so fast I don't know if it's a bug or not but it was unplayable. Graphics are nice at least...
my familyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Concept is ok, but the game is not really fair. Hitting a wall target should give way more than just 1 space bar, enemies are too hard to evade so you spend most of the time rotating and then carefully launching one bullet and wait for it to disappear. I think it would have been better with classic controls (arrows to move, space to shoot) and it would have fit the theme the same way.
Still I did a highscore of 15000!
The concept if very original, and fun. I'm not an artist though :(
My only regret is that it seems the reference pixel art is not made by a human that carefully chose the colors, it makes the whole a little sloppy.
I finished it and died only 2 times, it was fun! The animations are good.
Ok this is a super cool twist on the classic tetris game but this is waaaaaay to hard. I couldn't finish with a positive score even after my 4th try. The problem is that you spend most time trying to put blocks in a certain place and failing, then getting stuck. If you had made a character that could fly it would have been more interesting. Also the character should have been 1 tile tall, not 2. Still a fun game, nice job!
Really cool, really polished, I like it! The biggest issue however is that when telling a worker to go to a place, he will automatically enter any factory on the way, and that's how I lost my first two games because I just could't get any worker on a stone mine... Apart from that it's flawless :)
Unfortunately I get this error when I try to run the game.
Error The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
I tried reloading a few times and it's either that or an infinite loading screen.
Nice graphics, not too difficult but still challenging, controls are a little awkward but it's fine. I don't see how it fits the theme though?
It was very confusing at first even though I had read the description. Maybe you should have shown the inventory and goal at any time in the hud instead of having the player to press 1, because a) it's annoying b) you are missing the fake dialogs that seem fun. Oh also having Y pointing down is confusing.
Still I finished it, I retired!
Cool music, nice concept.
130 pts in 84s :)
Finished it really quickly, it was fun and simple. Sometimes it was hard to place mushrooms, you don't understand why it's red.
edit: also green mushrooms should have been actual houses, it would have made more sense :)
It's hard to switch between modes, especially since icons are displayed in a wheel so you don't intuitively know what number is what mode, I had time figuring out what to do. The mechanics are interesting but once you understand, it's really easy and there's no challange (maybe I didn't go far enough though, I only cleaned 3-4 rooms). Nice job still.
I didn't finished it because I was too frustrated by the yellow enemies, but this is a really solid entry and still had a lot of fun.
The graphics are good, very clean and fits nicely to the mood as well as the music.
The level design is ok, but levels are at least twice as big as what they should be, make more compact levels!
The gameplay is good (jumping feels great), but as I was saying it's frustrating because one mistake and you die. The yellow thingy are bad because they are hard to avoid and can't really be killed, they should have had only 1-2 hp.
Not sure how it fits the theme but it was a nice little platforming game. Good job
edit: also the sprites are incorrectly rendered, you can see pixels from the upper sprite in some animations, in the tiles and even in the background, it didn't bother me a lot but it could have been more polished.
It's cool that you made an intro screen with the controls and that you let the player decides when he wants to start, few compos do that. The game is fun but it's a little simple and has a few issues (e.g. choosing a powerup need to be done with the mouse and the action immediately starts, there should have a been a small timer; I have to reload the page each time I get a game over because the powerup screen interferes with the retry screen, and so on).
My highscore was 83000.
Hard to play, I died twice in the second level and I don't really know why. The idea is interesting, but the gameplay is too floaty.
Hard to understand at first but once you get it, it's really cool! I didn't finish it, I got stuck at the level where the treasure is up there, I only had 1 big bomb. It's one of the best game I've played so far!
the game looks cool but unfortunately the zip link is broken so I can't play it... Please fix this!
The art is amazing and the mood is perfect, it really made me want to beat the game. Unfortunately it's very hard in an unfair way, especially since there's no gamepad controls and the game doesn't have any checkpoints. I arrived to the snake boss twice but he beat me in just a few seconds, and I didn't want to continue.
I think you could have improved the game way much by not putting death traps everywhere (or by making them more obvious by zomming out for instance), adding potions in every dead end and having a boss that is less agressive.
Apart from that it's really good and I can't believe you made it in just 2 days! Excellent job.
Well I got stuck on the first level just figuring out the controls... Then I found the solution to level 2 (at least the first step) by accident and even after taking a look at your solution I'm not sure what's going on. Your concept is good and could make a great puzzle game but as the other said, it's impossible to understand without a proper introduction. I salute the effort though, it must have been hell to program :)
What the hell is happening with my GPU, it stays at 100% capacity for a pixel art game :/
There's not much to it, but for a first game it's nice. It's a little too simple and repetitive, and once you understand that it's same pattern of dinosaurs it gets even more simple (I scored 26605), maybe you should have created different patterns, spawn biggers dinosaurs, on spawn fast/slow ones, and so on. Good job.
Your itch.io page has apparently been quarantined sorry...
I really don't see the point in having janky physics, it's more annoying than anything else. Apart from that, it's a really solid entry, the game is fun even though a little simple. It could be the start of a real game! Nice job.
This is so hard to understand... And it's frustrating because it feels the game could be really fun, but unfortunately it's barely playable.
This is a super cool concept, but it's hard to play with the mouse, why not having movements with the arrow keys? It would have been better. It's pretty challenging until you realize that every time you die it's because you took much risks, and staying in the center is the best strategy.
@pawel12 Thanks for the feedback, I hope you didn't close the game right away when you saw that screen though :p
@milq Thank you for your kind words :) This is the normal ending, the game just shuts down when you're done, I didn't have time to program a real ending haha
Cool concept. I finished it after a few attempts, I managed to clear the last level without taking the last pill ;)
A few remarks: - you shouldn't restart the music each time you lose a life, it's a little annoying - inertia of the character is not very interesting, the last level is really hard because of this and it's not fair - sometimes I felt the space key was not working, maybe because I pressed just before taking a pill or just after falling off a cliff but anyway something is not good with the controls (check out 'coyote time' if you don't know what I mean) - btw space is a terrible key for jumping because it's the leastprecise key!
update: I'm dump and didn't understand that the theme was literally 'limited number of spaces', I've updated my ratings.
It's a little hard to play, but I see the effort, nice job. By the way, you still have 8 hours to test other people games to receive ratings because right now you don't have enough ratings to get a score!
Very simple and short. Once you understand the concept it quite easy to master, but it's still fun, nice job.
The game is really cool and fits the thme nicely!! I survived 91 seconds.
I like the fact that it starts as 'the big box must dodge the red dots' and then the more advance it gets, the more you literally 'cut corners' :)
Also the art style is good.
I want more levels!
No links :(
Well it started really slow, then it got interesting and really fun, then it turned into something else... I killed so many circles the reality itself started to shake, clusters of galaxies started to form, my ship was shaking at the center, images and colors started for form and then... No sound, nothing, just peace. 5/5
It's nice that your initial velocity depends on the platform you'on. The controls are a little floart though, I would have expected a progressive jump (when you release the jump button, the velocity of your player is reduced so you can jump at different hzights).
Your exe file contains the Bearfoos trojan.
Yeah 2nd stage was too hard of a sudden, I can't go past that :(
That's a cool puzzle concept although it quickly becomes artificially hard very fast. I'll review it once the ratings are open!
