LD38 — A Small World

Damn it, Don't Die! by RafaelSPBarbosa 2017-04-25T13:33:47Z

Thank you all for your comments!

@SheepTree About the sound, the hamsters actually do scream when you click on them while they are interacting with something, I'm not sure if you didn't notice it, or if it actually bugged, either way, if you think that there wasn't enougth feedback, then that's something to note for the next time :P

Regarding the learning curve, we are full aware of that, but starting with less than 3 hamsters was being to easy because they would never be able to reproduce unless you actually let them, so we have a last 5 minute change to add a new hamster thus making the game playable. The Actuall idea was to have a little tutorial, but we ran out of time and couldn't make it happen :/ We also noticed that the fridge was too dificult to understand but once again, no time to explain it to the player othen then on the description :c

Thank you for your great feedback! We really appreciated it!

@jezzamon I'll work on making a mac build :)

Thank you all for the feedbacks, everything you said helps us make better games!

I fully agree with you guys about the view and the pace. We planned on starting with one hamster only and then 2 new ones would pop in, after that the bed mechanic would start working, unfortunatly time ended and we couldn't add that :c

@mrtroy Regarding the book, it's actually meant to be just visual, it isn't really interactable haha.

I couldn't get past the initial dialog :c, It said that it's "Hatch Day", he then hatched but the dialog box was still open and in front of the player, after that nothing happened, and I couldn't test it out :c

Mr. Fishy's Small World by SheepTree 2017-04-25T22:43:23Z

Well, on a side note, it's good that I don't have a fish or else he'd have died 4 times already haha.

But on a more tecnical side : I have a few feedbacks that I would like to give to you about the game. I actually quite liked the overall idea, the game sucessfully shows a gold-fish's life and I kinda felt like the world was small and simple while playing this game, so that a great work on the atmosphere of the game. The phrases that appear are quite funny to read and add up nicely to the overall experience. On a bad side, I didn't really feel like the Feed button was part of the game, the first time I played, I stayed paused, trying to understand if the game froze or not. But when i accidentaly clicked the button and understood that it belonged to the game, the rest made sense. Also, I'm not quite sure how many people actually worked on this, but anyway, I feel like it would have been better if there was some type of animation on the background going on, like making the curtain move a little bit by the wind you know? Make the background feel more alive. Other than that, it's a great concept and it has been a nice experience :)
