Best setting I've seen so far :D It was a bit easy to get stuck on walls, I would have liked a more open environment and more of a challenge/a higher pace. But nonetheless, I had a litte smile on my face while playing.
Holy shit!
Crafted the Bananay Banana of Bananaing 10/10
Anyways, very nice twist to the theme. Crafting was interesting, however, it would have been nice to get more knowledge if and how the stats change.
Combat was a bit flawed (it is hard, to determine the striking range of the enemy and avoid being hit), but hitting opponents with my banana sword is still rewarding. And the AI is quite good.
Too ambiguous, defeated two robots but don't know how. Needs more explanation, though I like the basic idea.
Oh no, I used a pun to talk to the cute muscle girl. Bad way to start a conversation. Minimalistic, but humorous
loved the music and the use of the medieval pictures. combining pictures was a bit slow going at first, but then it somehow picked up pace. special idea, so not much room to complain here :D
Weird. But I have a thing for this snotty art style.
As you said, there could have been more effort in the programming. I gave up after getting stuck for the fourth time. And an explanation of the controls in-game could have helped.
Hope more people got the reference to the Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon. Nice :D
Weird as fuck, but fun. There are more enemies in the desktop version? Ouch!
The beginning is a bit too much for my taste, I just wanted to test the controls and suddenly they were all over me :D Jumping is bit weird and I depleted the boss health with no effect three times than I gave up.
What I missed was a possibility to evade attacks. You are pretty helpless and shooting really isn't enough, so one is bound to lose health, which is a bit frustrating. And as you can't defend otherwise, I think the only strategy that is wise, is to hold the fire button permanently. Maybe you could have added a little more conflict/ a decision there.
Anyway, nice job.
I really like the story and how the text unfolded. I checked through it again and I think I got a hang on your theme. Remembering the person you lost in a good spirit, living in the here and now and as you state at the beginning, stopping all the ruminations. Good message.
If I had to criticize one thing it would be that the ending is always the same, I think, a bit of variety would have given some decisions better closure :]
Love the idea (haha) and how you setup the puzzles. Needed a little bit to grasp the vision of the guards. Really would have liked to see more content :]
Very cool idea, I liked the abstract style and the mood.
Getting in my head which color turned which cog while watching one gate after the other rushing towards me was a bit overwhelming.
Spamming is indeed very successful and was my response after failing multiple times. I think, I would have preferred a slower pace for the gates and faster enemies, but it was still pretty fun.
Very funny twist on the theme. Really like the build-up of insult chains and his reaction when it all came together. Maybe you could have made it a bit clearer which words are combo finishers and which words add to the chain.
Nice mechanic. Felt that repeating parts of the puzzle was a bit punishing when you made a mistake, think you don't need those things to fill the playtime. Also, while aiming and walking with the same input is more accessible, it is also a bit annoying when you stand on a platform and fall down while aiming. I enjoyed it, though :]
Good feedback, although it was maybe a bit too much. Enemies could have been more challenging, but I really liked the chaos that unfolded after I had several upgrades.
What CamRFWhite says. And it is a bit hard to connect the gameplay to the theme for me. But I really liked the audience and the music.
Nice!
Really liked the way you introduced new enemy types to the mix. Also, it took only seconds to grasp the concept. Good flow.
I don't know much about Crossy Roads, but I think you captured that art style very good.
(Btw: 125 points without spamming(only when I panicked for a moment :D))
Je Suis Charlie!
Lovely idea. And fun to play.
Cool, that it is random generated , although sometimes I had areas that didn't seem beatable.
I know the delayed control of the horse through the greeks inside is the point, but, for me, it was very hard to react to incoming dangers. Maybe a camera that was further away would have helped
Neat idea. But as you already know the lack of progression is really hurting the game. I think it would become really interesting to see how it would play with escalating difficulty. As it is now, there is very little challenge even if I pretend that I die by hitting something :]
And to everyone who tries to play the game:
Download the "LD32-Distrib.zip" to play. It was a bit unclear to me and I downloaded the whole project.
Really liked the tone and setting, being some kind of creature.
But the controls didn't work for me and I had to give up in the second level, because it became to frustrating (using Z to move forward, and q and d for sideways movement and then looking around with the mouse? Seems like it shouldn't be like this)
The egg-laying, milk-bearing woolly sow of weapons!
Fun puzzles, although I think some items could have used a slower introduction. Using combinations of items in short succession was the point where the game really began to shine.
Level design was neat, although I was stuck like forever after obtaining the second ball. I didn't get the concept of doing one shot, then pausing and doing another. But maybe I was just stupid there :D
Other than that it was interesting to play around with, but you could really have a smaller dead zone for the camera movement, I had to do several jumps of faith. And more checkpoints would have been nice
Nice mechanic! Really interesting to handle. First for grabbing an enemy and second for shooting it behind enemies and than adjusting the altitude to hit them in their backs.
The difficulty escalated a bit too quickly for my taste, but I'm shitty at SHMUPS.
Btw: I can't be the only one, who said the title with the voice of the aliens in Toy Story :D
Haha, I used the soccer ball as a weapon for my game too.
It feels very great to dash around and hit the ball. Overall very good feedback. As others said a lose condition would have been great to add a bit of conflict.
And there is a dominant strategy, you should get rid of if you expand on this game. Spamming the ball down in the right corner and then spamming mouse-click.
Still, one of my favorites so far.
First, thanks for playing or should I saying trying to play? :D
I'm not a native speaker so maybe I made the description and the feedback in this case too unclear, sorry for that :/
You click on a parasite, then drag away from it to load the power bar and then it flings him in the opposite direction. Have you played Desert Golfing? My flinging system is similiar.
Absolutly stunning art. Gameplay quite simple though
The most coherent game in this jam I've encountered so far.
I would have loved a bit of a challenge or a goal, but that is just personal preference.
Ball got stuck a few times and the music was quite load.
Nice visual style and great useage of the 2 button theme. Also nice polish. personally im not a big fan of pinball, but its good.
Beatiful graphics. From a gameplay point of view it is quite impressive for just 2 days of work, but I would not recommend going to kickstarter with this demo. Polish it more for better feedback and improve the ui and you might get your 10k to make a full game out of this.
I think the main problem you are going to have is that legend of grimrock exists, which is technicly more impressive and just bigger. You are going to need a selling point more than "oldschool" to get this funded ;)
For a ld game this is obviously really good (though the theme was missed)
Wow, great game. My favorite so far. Really love the mood.
Maybe the days could be a bit shorter it got a bit boring around the half, because there wasn't much danger and not much to do.
Nice litle game, collision box of trees maybe a little bit too big so pathing got hard once you had a lot of trees
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Seems like controlls is something we need to improve c:
Wanted to post my score. Looked at the other comments. Apparently it isn't good :D
Music choice is perfect. Would have liked more feedback and more consequences regarding having too many pizzas on one stack.
Nice sound effects, juice and graphics. Gameplay is a bit too simple for my taste, but i see the appeal. Also great entry in general, nice work for only 3 days.
Liked the impact everything made when it hit the construction. Bam!
Was a bit bothered by the fact that I had always to wait a bit until I could hit the button again.
Music fits very good.
Good take on the theme.
The system is interesting. Played it three times and I clearly was getting better. It was a bit bothering that the growing stopped even when you were holding the "G"-Button, didn't get this the first time.
Neat idea. The art style is very lovely.
What bothered me a litte bit, was that i sometimes got questions asking nearly the exact same thing (e.g. the math questions). So, those were pretty easy to solve.
Really liked how you upped the difficulty.
Lack of tactics didnt make it really enjoyable for me. Got through the game by just spamming "m". Nice setting and music though
I think thats the best idle animation i've ever seen in a game. 10/10
Really liked the music.
Good conflict you've got there. "Do I get greedy and try to stuff my baby full in the shortest amount of time or do I take my time, but always reach the next step only by the shortest margin."
But as others said, maybe a few more hints concerning the opening and closing of the mouth would be helpful.
I like the idea and it fits the theme well, but (at least the web version) is missing juice. Add a little screenshake, blood and particle effects, this would improve the game feel by so much ;)
Could use more gameplay, all I did was wipe around like a maniac. Hope really babys don't grow like that :D
But I really like the idea and the graphical representation. It's definitely unique.
Nice visuals, sadly flappy bird games are meh. No lose or win condition make playing feel kind of pointless. Controlls are good
Dear lord, i cant play this for long. Goal achieved? ;-)
Nice artstyle and juice.
Visually very nice, but missing quite a bit of juice (recommend watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg). great athmo, also you logo design is amazing
