I really like the hilarity of this game! Enjoyable to watch these horses demolish the stable haha. The art and gameplay are minimal and clean. Definitely some variation in the horses and stuff would be a great addition. Overall, great job!
Nice, chill game! Had different ways to solve the puzzles and place blocks, it felt sandbox-like. Definitely found it enjoyable to watch blocks launch to space when I placed them inside me haha. The music is pretty good too! I think the jumping was a tiny bit awkward, given that you can only really jump far distances or short distances. It was possible to jump half-way distances, but you would have to jump at a very precise timing, so I would over jump or jump too short a lot. Others have already talked about the mouse inaccuracies/scaling issues, but these are just minor things. Overall, I really like the game, good job!
I really liked the the look of the game! Did not expect the game to become what it was after reading the description haha. Very clean. Actually, I was able to cheese it a little by spamming side-roll and left click so the i-frames allowed me to not get hit at all while still being able to hit the trash. Maybe when you touch the trash, it would hurt you, or shorten the invincibility window a tad bit? Otherwise, it is a really great job!
I really like the game! Had to get used to it at first, but it is kind of addicting to play. Art is clean and sound effects are fun. I especially like the touch where the screen turns red, the music changes and all of the yellow balloons swarm, it is quite entertaining haha. Overall, a good job!
Very nice entry! I really liked the idea as it fits the theme quite well. Actually, there was one time I had went into a room, then when I came out, I spawned into fire which was actually pretty funny, though I somehow survived it haha. There are some bugs here and there that others have already mentioned, so a little polish on it would definitely go a long way. Also some sounds would definitely add to the experience. Otherwise, it was a great job!
Nice, clean puzzle game! Initially, the isometric was a little weird, but it did not take too long for me personally to get used to it. Though I felt like I subconsciously tilted my head to the right so I could make sense of the movement haha. I liked the gradual increase in difficulty as I completed the levels. Although there was a big bomb added toward the end, I feel like a few more added mechanics would have made the game a little more interesting. Overall, looks and plays very nicely, good job!
Nice game! Very good feel, atmosphere, art and music. Overall it looks very polished. At times I did feel the meteor falling was a bit unfair. I would not mind if they attempt to directly hit me, but I feel that it falls so fast that it is almost impossible to avoid. Perhaps maybe make the fall speed a little slower? Also, there is this one platform in the first level that you can drop to, but if you drop to it, you can't go back up. You have to die to restart the level. Otherwise, I think the overall movement is very clean and crisp! Overall, a very nice game!
Very clean art! Actually pretty addicting the more you play haha. I really like the alerts of when something is about to happen. Perhaps the buttons could be stationary? I found that when I tried to click them sometimes, it was kind of difficult to keep track of everything. Though, it was actually possible to click and hold down the +/-, so even if your cursor moved off of it, the numbers would still adjust, so not too big of a problem. Overall, very nice game, and very clean!
Very nice graphics/art! The whole thing is quite polished, I had fun scrambling around trying to find which combination to do and which symbol was what ingredient. Music is very nice! I actually thought you would be able to memorize all of the symbols and which combinations there were so I played it twice but found out that they were randomized haha. In contrary to the others, I personally think that the difficult ramp is nice. Or that could just be my love for challenges. Overall, very great job!
Really cool concept here, especially the whole glitchy level switching effect! Clean art, sound effects. At some points, when the enemies got really closed to you, it became really difficult to shoot them because the gun would be past them and their sprite would be directly on you, unless that was intended to force you to move? Otherwise, really cool, great job!
Definitely a good foundation for a game! I liked the mechanic of a gun overheating and you having to switch between them. I think that there could be some better visual feedback for the player as they play, such as for damaging opponents and when you shoot the gun. Could definitely get more and more difficult the longer you play. Overall, good job!
Played a few stages, then after that, I tried to click on the buttons, but they wouldn't work. Not sure what happened. Though after refreshing the page, everything worked fine. It really does pickup in difficulty haha. I think the sounds of the button clicks are a little too loud/harsh relative to the game movement and sounds though. Overall, very clean, polished, I like the puzzle idea and mechanics! Great job!
Clean isometric art/graphics! The music sets the mood nicely. I would have hoped for like, one checkpoint, but I think that the length of the level is actually short enough that it does not need one. I almost did not notice that the thinner platforms were the ones that fell at first haha, but then after I saw it, it was very clear. I did notice that there were a few incorrectly sorted objects/sprites because the game was isometric, but other than that, I thought it was pretty good. Overall, great job!
Very nice and polished game! The animations are very clean and detailed, and the soundtrack is nice! I really like the gradual increase in difficulty. I found that practically all of the enemies pathed downward and came from below the gem, so it was a little easy to leave your cursor on the gem and spam-click to kill all the enemies. Though, this is mitigated by the big boss heads haha. It feels quite satisfying to play. I think more kinds of enemies would be a nice addition. Overall, I think this is a really great job!
Very nice game! When you're not in a shape, it's quite relaxing to just watch the cat orbit around. The music suits the game well and the overall aesthetic is very clean. The overall movement and mechanics are also very intuitive. There were times when I thought I had hit, possibly, the corner/edge of a shape but it didn't go into the shape, so perhaps the hitboxes could be a little bigger? (or I could just be bad haha). Other than that, I think overall, the game is very nice! Maybe in the future, could even add more black holes or planets so there are multiple things to orbit around. Very nice job!
Nice and clean graphics! The 3-D pixel art theme is very cool, and I also liked the music! I think implementing an option to adjust mouse sensitivity for the player would be a nice addition. Perhaps the indications of what you could interact with could be a little more obvious? Definitely has a lot of potential. Otherwise, I think this is a good job!
Definitely a really cool idea. Things kind of happened quite quickly. Even though I partially didn't know what I was doing haha, I eventually started to understand what was going on. Looks very nice, very clean! I do wish there was some sound, as it would add a lot to the experience. Overall, a very good job!
Clean art and gameplay! Fun dialogue, though admittedly, I was more focused trying to survive so I do not think I was able to read all of them haha. I was expecting the pickup mechanic to be where you only have to be near the thought to grab it, but you have to be near and facing it. Did throw me off a good amount of times when I would thought I had grabbed it because I was close, but I forget I had to look at them. Could just be a me thing though! I think the music was great, very suitable for this game. Overall, I think this was a great job!
I really like the art style of this game! And also the music, fits very well with each other. The combat system took a little bit to get used to, but it was easily understood with the tutorial. Agreed with some of the other comments that some visual feedback when pressing buttons would help with the overall feel of the game. When I had clicked to go to the next fight, I thought it wasn't working until it loaded and I was like 'oh' haha. Overall, very well done with the game!
Really cool idea! I liked the overall feel and look of it
Nice game! It is quite satisfying to see all of the isotopes activate and clear the board from one click haha. Agreed that it could use some refining. Overall, very nice!
Props to making a game that is compatible with the NDS! I liked the whole look of it, the art and everything. The way the ball moved around does need a little bit of polish but, as you mentioned, you made your own physics system which, in itself, is impressive! Overall, it is a great job!
I really like the mechanics! Quite unique how you use the mass of the character in a puzzle/platformer. I think that the movement itself could use a little polish? If you jump into a wall, you actually get stuck in the wall where you touch it instead of stopping at the wall and falling down. Otherwise, I enjoyed it, thought it was pretty fun! Overall, it was a great job!
Very nice puzzle game! The song definitely fits the whole mood very well. Though, during the main room where you can select any level, I was jumping around near the levers and stuff (because I usually like to get a feel for the movement haha) and after a few seconds, the game seemed to freeze? Actually, I was jumping around again in the level selection room and then it happened again. Though, it only happened when I was jumping near the levers in the level selection room, seemed kind of spontaneous so I have no idea what could have caused it. I had to close and restart the game to fix it
Other than that, I liked it a lot! Adding some more levels and mechanics would definitely yield a very nice puzzle/platformer game. Overall, a great job!
I really like the game! While only having my left earbud in, admittedly, I did get a little confused at first when you mentioned 'long sound' until I put in my right earbud and figured out that it was stereo sound haha. The graphics and feel are really neat and polished! I did manage to finish, but it was on the second try. For me personally, I think it is a good amount of difficulty. I also like the music! Something that could possibly be added are short alerts to notify the player that something is about to turn off? Other than that, I really liked it, good job!
@devnugget Thank you so much!
@gibss Thank you! I'll definitely keep that in mind
@zwodahs Haha, it definitely fits a different theme a lot better. Thank you for the great feedback! The parcel dropped in the wrong place is something I would have to definitely look into. I am currently getting ideas for implementing an easy difficulty and hard difficulty :thinking:
@ethankessler Thanks so much!
@munkkeli Thanks so much! Yeah, the difficulty of the game could probably be toned down a bit haha
@caudatecoder Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind
@jakobthequizguy Thanks a lot! Yeah, I also think that some of the collisions and controls could use a little bit of polish haha
@mathiouza Thanks so much! Actually, the name of the destinations disappearing are actually intended because I thought it would add a little more difficulty/chaos :sweat_smile: but now that I look at it, I didn't really make it apparent that it was haha
@dent Thanks a lot! Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of this game haha. I agree, after taking a look a little more after submission, there were some tight collisions and hitboxes that I could have made better.
@nick-rafalski Thanks so much! It was actually intended for the destinations to disappear, so you would have to remember the destination soon after you pick it up. You are still able to deliver it though! But yeah, I didn't really make it clear in the game itself haha, so that's on me
@dedjo0 Thanks a lot! Actually, making the buildings color-coded was one of the options that crossed my mind, but somehow, it just left when I noticed the deadline approaching haha
@nafe Thanks so much! Sure thing, I'll check it out
@ludokultur @greenradiation @goddoesplaydice @driagonv @digitaldude555 @euler-moises @artonix Thanks so much everyone! Yeah, I definitely wanted to make a difficult game, but ultimately made a game that was a little too difficult haha
@skyward4d Thanks a lot! Yeah, some of the important details could have definitely been easier to see
@binaryprinciple Thanks so much!
@pcmaster Thanks a lot!
@polkoii Thanks so much!
@jakier Thanks so much! Yeah, overall is definitely quite difficult haha, appreciate the feedback!
@sleepystudios Thanks so much!
@recher Thanks a lot for the very in-depth feedback! I appreciate all of the various ideas and suggestions you have offered. Will definitely keep them in mind if I want to continue with developing this game a little further.
I actually did have ideas to make various different parcels attached to certain buildings and such as well as some of the things you mentioned like slower movement speed carrying more parcels and dropping any parcel you carry. But the time I had these ideas were when I noticed the deadline approaching so I left it at what I felt like was playable/decent to focused on other core things haha. Maybe if I do decide to continue with this game, I will refine it with all of these ideas in mind.
@alvan-arulandu Thanks so much!
@glaikunt Thank you so much!
Using weighted objects to steer and maneuver a ship is actually a really cool idea! I also really like the ambience and the looks are very clean. Personally, I think that it was quite easy to lose a barrel from it rolling off the ship haha, so the gameplay itself was kind of difficult. Overall though, I really liked it, and it was a great job!
Really fun to play! The game itself feels quite polished and well made. I liked how there was a large variety of different guns that you could pickup, there was so much hilarity. It is quite funny how I would spam click sometimes and I would burn an enemy then pull myself right to them with the grappling hook which would end up burning me in the process. Great job!
Nice fun game! Cool idea how you had charge rate tied to specific light patterns. Actually was pretty challenging overall haha. The music was nice, suited the game quite well. Could possibly add more powerups to make it a little more interesting? Though overall, a great job!
I enjoyed it! Clean design. It is quite hilarious, I think the circle is quite strong because you can wedge the ball between you and the wall and it "charges up" then launches haha. One thing I would have liked is if there was some sort of indication that something is about to happen? Other than that, I thought it was great!
I like the idea a lot, very original and intuitive gameplay! Though I was definitely a little confused and wondering what was going on at first, it made sense very quickly when I just clicked on the cards. I like that you put a little tooltip when you hover over some of the icons. Overall, very nice!
Very cool game! Clean 2-D art, character models, fun story telling. Unfortunate there is no audio! I think that would have made the game a lot more immersive. I do agree with some of the others, a 'skip-typing and show full text' button would have been nice for plays after the first one so that you don't have to spend too much time waiting for dialogue to type out. Other than that, I think it was a great job!
Very enjoyable, clean game! I especially liked the sound effects, they were quite enjoyable to listen to haha. Although I agree with WASD being more traditional and intuitive, I respect the decision to go with the 'car' movement. The WASD movement would have definitely made the game easier, and I always like a challenge haha. Overall, great job!
Very nice game! Very clean and simple, fun gameplay. I went in the first time without reading the description (which was my own fault haha) and was a little confused at first why getting low numbers was 'bad'. Then I read the description and it was the opposite, which actually made a lot more sense haha. Fun little puzzle game. Overall, nice job!
Very nice game! The overall art and aesthetics of the game were really great! Clean and the faction logos also looked really nice. Having read some of the other comments, I do agree that the gameplay with the cards could definitely be improved upon because currently there is no real strategy, just kind of clicking around, hoping that you get the decent cards. Other than that, I think it was a great job!
Very nice game! I like the overall look and the feel of the gameplay. Having played a lot of Tetris, my instincts kept on telling me to make lines across which is NOT how you clear blocks in this game haha. I think a mechanic to instant drop the block would be nice to have. Overall, very nice job!
Very fun! I liked the overall concept and how it is multiple mini-games compiled into one game. The dialogue was humorous and enjoyable and the gameplay was simple and classic! The only nitpick I would have would be that the bird in the flappy birds mini-game was a much higher resolution pixel art compared to everything else, but other than that, very nice job!
Very nice game! I like the art and the overall atmosphere, the sound effects were very fitting. Personally for me, the throwing became a little awkward, and at some point, I wasn't able to throw the log until like 5 seconds later? could have just been a me thing though. Overall, great job!
Very nice concept! I like the amount of replayability that the game has, and it is really interesting how you combined card deck building with realtime movement. I agree with the idea that there could be keybinds for the cards as it gets a little awkward to click and drag cards while you are also trying to focus on the falling. I also think the left and right movement could be faster in general, to me it feels a little sluggish. Overall, a really nice job!
Fun concept! Funny dialogues, overall was enjoyable to figure out how to maintain the levels of each of the variables. Some more prompts and an indication of what variables go up and down would be a great addition. Overall, it was a nice play. Good job!
Great game! I think the overall look of it is really clean and plays very nicely. I think I did encounter a bug with the game. I was just about finished playing, and I (for whatever reason haha) just decided to sell all the towers I had placed. So what happened was, I could sell an instance of a tower but if I sell (specifically) a Range/Fuel/Filter tower right after that one, it wouldn't disappear, but I would still get the money. The towers then can never disappear, but I can right click on them to basically generate infinite money because they're still technically 'selling'.
Very great visuals! I really liked every detail on the pixel art and animations, the overall feel of the game was really good. The amount of movement in the levels from the clouds in the background to the bodies jumping up and down even when dead were great. Admittedly I do think the eating of the lollipop was a little unnecessary, could be better just having the sound of the chomping and not forcing the player to stop moving. Other than that, I think it was a really good job!
Nice job! The overall look of the game is very nice and clean! Very interesting how you implemented the 'simulated flying/floating' when you go up to a high point and walk off, adds a fun little dynamic to the gameplay. I think there could definitely be more added to make the game, it has a lot of potential. Overall, nice job!
@lesinvisible Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely had hoped to put so much more into the finished product, but I overshot my capabilities a little bit haha, which is unfortunate! But it was a great learning experience being a genre/style of game I haven't explored before
@xedur Thanks so much! Yeah, The writing for the story unfortunately had to be left at that, at least for the compo haha. I think I executed the QTE a little poorly in general, but I had to muster up what I could :sweat_smile: I will definitely explore the game more in the future though! Will definitely be a lot more clean than this
