@mrspeaker thx for your feedback! Glad you liked it, we might consider adding check points post jam if we continue with the concept. One more thing, share that "dominant strategy" with us if you can, I really need it :P
Just a really well designed game, The art is so good, it fits this game so well. If I had to change one thing I would have made it a little bit more difficult (maybe less Health drops would be a quick fix?), but I know for a fact that balancing a game in such a short span of time is a complicated and time consuming task. Overall a really nice entry, these guys know their business. 10/10
Btw, the wheel rotation... Damn, such a good detail.
What an awesome entry!!! I loved this game so much that I want to keep playing it for much longer (please make some more levels). I loved the air depletion mechanic and the dash felt very responsive. I have to say that I at first played on the keyboard and it was not a pleasant experience but once I switched over to a controller, oh man, that was a whole new world. I'll leave here some things you might want to improve:
- When you want to push the enemies away it feels like the area from where the dash affects them is a bit to short. Maybe consider making it bigger.
- Sometimes, since the jump and dash button is the same, I dashed instead of jumping and died because of that, at first I thought mapping the dash and jump to different buttons would be a good idea but I don't think that anymore. Maybe a better solution would be to add some kind of coyote jump so if you are close enough to the ground it jumps instead of dashing.
- When you are in the intermediate levels where you get more points of air you don't deplete any oxygen. So maybe make it like you are in a giant oxygen bubble and have some different art there. I know it is the same as the actual levels due to being in a jam, lack of time, etc. but for the post jam version it would be cool.
- and lastly maybe tweaking the speed a little bit and the acceleration when switching directions. You know your business so I don't think I should explain further.
Overall this is such a great game and I hope to see a longer post jam version soon.
P.D. I think the jump sound was a neat choice and it sounds fantastic, I love it!
Really good game I loved how you mixed these two concepts! I felt like the camera was a little bit shaky and the shoot mecanics where a little bit rough (this could be easily sovlved with some polish). Good job I really enjoyed it!
This game was so relaxing, stressful at the same time. Relaxing becouse moving the colors around to fit the painting felt great but stressful becouse the timer put me in a hurry each time I played. It is such an unusual game and I really liked that. Nice concept and great job!
Really fun game it mixes both genres very well. the mechanics were really good implemented. The only thing i missed is the music ar just some simple audio but i undertand you dont have much time to do so. Good job!
Interesting concept, I got so stressed typing and moving the platform at the same time but i also enjoyed it a lot i didn't get the part where you get a voicemail so if you coould explain it to me it wuld be awesome! Nice Job!
A good game, sometimes i found difficult to take care of all of my stats but that is all. I liked the idea of mixing those two genres but it really didn't hit me. Nevertheless an enjoyable game! Good job!
So this game was nice! I felt the lack of music but i understand you didn't have so much time. I also found a bug. when you load the attack and the cancel it the compass bar will not get cleared, also you should put a description of what each card does. You could polish it a bit now you have time this has a good potential. Good Job and keep it up!
This game is just awesome. I feel like you could put it directly on Steam. The only thing that i can "complain" is that the ghost are so slow compare to the player so it is easy to kite enemies (but that is just a balance issue, easy to fix). The other thing is that sometimes when you shoot a frog car they all collides with the same enemy when they spawn. This is a game i would definitely play if it comes out.
Really interesting mix of genres. This game is so stressful, at least for me but i kinda enjoyed. The graphics were awesome so hands up for your artist. A good mix. Good job!
I really enjoyed this game! I cannot think of two more incompatible games than those (and they are both classic ones!) Also I found so challenging to keep track of the ball while I was trying to place the tetris blocks in the correct spot and i loved it. Such a solid game with such a good theme! Congratz Dan!
I'd loved to @Honest Dan ;)
Nice game, it was so fun and challeinging (could't beat the boss) I don't see the mix of genres so well but I enjoyed it so much. Good job and keep it up!
Nice concept! I didn't understand the "sucking blood" mechanics also the, way shooting mechanics feel a little bit clumsy. I didn't like the fact that you have to go back to the main menu to progress to the next level, that should be easily fixed with the Unity Scene manager. Good job!
@Siuler LM Thank you very Siuler! We are already working on the probabilities for each card. We are also thinking about doing something like making your own deck and that kind of stuff. Pues lo dicho. que muchas gracias y nos alegramos de que te haya gustado
@GerardB Glad you liked it! Many people said the same thing as you about discarding cards so we will take a look at that. Thank you for commenting our game!
@Yetman Thank you for the comment. We are already tweaking some parameters to make it less "random", putting the jump button as a different control might be a good solution for that so we will take a look at it. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@randomhuman Hey thanks for the feedback! We are tweaking some probabilities on the cards and it is true that right now it is very rng based. I think the element of skill it is still important though, you have to learn how to prioritize which cards you need to discard on each situation and the velocity in which you have to perform those actions, but it is indeed, as you said, limited by the card probabilityand rng. (I know that couse it happened to me aswell and now I can get to 1000 points easily). So I encourage you to keep playing it for a bit longer. Thx again for giving us your thoughts! BTW we are already making a mobile version!
@paddywhq thx for your feedback! We are already working on how to fix the problem you mentioned and the shuffle cards method is an option we are considering! We would gladly try your game!
@Dixonary thx for your kind comment. Yeah you are constrained a lot by the cards you are giving, some people liked it and some didn't. I personally think that we could make something to base the game more on the player skill than the rng of the cards. Glad you liked and thx for the feedback!
@Sharks Hey, yeah we are already devolping a more balanced mobile version of this game. Thx for your comment and so glad you liked it!
This was such a fun game! You really did a grat job mixing those to genres. I loved the ASCII graphics btw. Even though it is turn based the wall of bullets made it feel like a real time game, also it was kinda addictive. Good job! BTW this was the fardest i could get :dog: 2cf60eae469fc4cac90b9006e3f31a0d.png
The idea is alright but the game needs to get polished. You should try to fix levels so they feel more intuitive and guide the player where you want him to go. I see that it was your first time using Unity so it is normal to see this kind of mistakes. I encourage you to keep practising and developing new ideas. Keep it up guys!
Really cool idea. The voice acting was awesome and the way the questions were formulated. I found a small bug when you hit a ship but that should be easily corrected. Great game!
It was such a weird game. I enjoyed it but I don't know i liked or not, i mean i had fun but everythig was so bizarre which i think it is good?. I didn't clearly get the mix of genres here becouse i think this game is a genre by itself. So yeah overall i think it was a good job.
It is areally nice idea. It would be fun if you had to press different buttons depending on the side the moustache is falling. You have to fix the score though vouse when I was missing the hits the game was giving me points! Interesting concept and when the mloustache falls that is hilarious
It is a pretty interesting idea. I have never thought about how mosquitoes feel or think and to beat this game i had to think like one of those. I didn't get the mix of genres here though. Good job!
Really fun game! At first i didn't get how the weapon system worked but once i figured it out I just couln't stop having fun. Definitely I will play more of it later. Good Job
