Really liked the game! It really feels like I'm at my old IT job again :joy:. The effect when you've had too much coffee was a really nice touch!
At some point though, the phone stopped sending me messages so all I had to do was drink an adequate amount of coffee. But maybe that just makes it more realistic ;)
I absolutely love the overall mood in this game! You get into the story immediately.
The graphics are very nice and the premise is good! One thing though; because selecting your characters is the same as moving them I ended up getting a bit frustrated because I wanted to select a character to move, but misclicked and it caused the other character to move to that location. Maybe make the selection right click and the walking left click?
Other than that great job! :)
I very much looove the concept behind this. At first, like others said here, I didn't see that you could also pay from your own bank balance. But once I got that it was very fun game to play! :)
@mtrc @ruslana @warmful @fizzbark @sheinxy @zimny11 Hey guys, thanks for letting me now! I've rebuild the file and it should work now! :) Sorry it took a while, was very busy with work this week..
@jaiden-greg Thanks for the feedback! Indeed, I didn't have enough time to swap out all my placeholder assets :sweat_smile:. And I agree with you on the sounds. More arcade-ey effects will probably work better. I'll get on to that!
@BoxedMeatRevolution Yea, I finally got around to re-uploading it! Turned out to be a compression problem... I'm thinking about what you said about the scrolling camera being a bit frustrating and you are probably right. Currently trying to come up with a plan to tackle that. Do you think it will solve the problem if I keep the scrolling, but slow it way down? I'm slightly afraid that the game might become too easy/boring if I take it out completely.
But, then again, there are ofcourse other ways to make it fun again. (Adding a oxygen supply that needs to be refilled or something might be interesting).
@duck-reaction That's good to hear! I also got some real bomberman vibes when I made the cross-explosions :laughing:. As for the slow bombs: if you upgrade your bombs in the shop they will explode faster/ have more reach, so you can more easily work through the lower levels of the caves. That's why the first bombs you get pretty slow. But your comment makes me realize it is time to make the shop more clear and the prices more balanced! Thanks :)
@quite-good Thanks! I was quite broken (exhausted) after submitting the game. But now, with with fresh energy, I'm looking forward to polishing it up and see what it can become :smile:
@someone Yea I noticed the glitchy items.. I'm not completely happy with the behaviour of the items right now anyways, so that's definetly going on the need-to-fix list!
Very fun game! Took me a while to get through the inventory puzzle, but it was worth it, got my coffee! :)
Very nice! It took me a short bit to realize that some chest had monsters in them, but it was a fun addition! :D
Absolutely gorgeous in terms of mood and art! I think that having to figure out what you're trying to do ties into this very well. Didn't finish yet, but I'm going to keep trying! :)
