Nice puzzle, a bit hard for me though haha
I see this game has a lot of originality and I really want to like it, but I can't get to enjoy the gameplay. I had some performance issues running the game as well.
Neat graphics! Really fun gameplay. Couldn't feel the theme in this game though, and the framerate was pretty slow for me.
Also the CPU's knockback was always insane compared to mine, so I would fall off the arena way more often.
Good game overall, great work :)
Fantastic use of the theme, super fun to play, great audio! It can be a bit hard to understand how to play though
This is a fun game. I love the different power ups, although they're quite hard to get. Movement could use some polishing.
Interesting game, the idea of infection is always nice. However I feel like the game doesn't fit with the theme, except for some labels saying there are shapeshifters attacking people. The game ended too fast as well, I wish I could have enjoyed it a bit more :)
Flappy Duckcow
Link is broken
I tried to play but nothing happens after the first screen appears.
Nice music. The gameplay could use some work though
The idea is good, but it's a bit hard to understand what's going on.
Fun game, cute graphics and nice audio, but it's super hard to lead the character across those spikes :/
Also I couldn't see any shapeshifting elements
nice shape shifting effect, however I found the gameplay a bit slow.
Awesome graphics and use of the theme! Reminds me of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Simple and fun! =)
Really cool game, impressive 3D graphics for such a short time. I couldn't find any shapeshifting elements though, maybe I didn't get far enough? I kind of suck at stealth games haha
I love the graphics and how the slime interacts with the environment. Great use of the theme :)
Awesome music and fun to play. I feel like it needs a bit more polishing on the collisions though
A shapeshifting take on agar.io, really fun! =)
This game is amazing! Fantastic audio, the whole merging idea is great. Great job :)
Quite a unique puzzle, but hard haha
This is really creative! Simple, fun and unique! :)
Nice use of the theme, it's really fun to play :D
One thing that could change though is the size of the bullets, it's super hard to see them on the screen
Awesome game! The shapeshifting mechanic is really fun! Great job guys =)
Nice puzzle and surprisingly challenging. I love the background painting too :)
Awesome art and really unique gameplay, congrats!
Interesting shooter, really minimalistic as the name says. Fun stuff :)
I survived for 4 minutes =D
Really fun, awesome art
Interesting idea, I found it super hard to play though, couldn't get past the second level.
This game is fantastic!!! Simple gameplay, simple mechanics, simple graphics, and everything is awesome together! Great work! I even downloaded a desktop version to keep playing forever haha 5/5
Great visual effects, awesome creativity with the character. This is a great implementation of the theme! :)
Fun to play, good use of shapes :)
I managed to beat it but I'm not exactly sure how the game works yet.. Also no shapeshifting
Thanks for the feedback guys! I had a LOT of fun developing Greedy Miners and I'm really glad you guys are having a good time playing it! =D
Thanks guys! About button mashing, it's true to a point. Since the timings are all fixed, getting the right interval between traps is the key. Some random variation to the enemy flow would fix this problem.
After receiving so much positive feedback I'm believe it's a good idea to keep working on this game in the future, introducing different levels, different traps and especially different miners.
My goal was to provide a couple of minutes of fun to the players, and I hope I achieved that. Thanks for playing everyone! =)
Interesting game, cute graphics but weird controls / use of weapons. It would be nicer if the enemies didn't spawn right on top of you.
Really interesting concept, however performance was a killer for me
Love the concept, and it's challenging in a way. I couldn't beat it though. Great sounds too.
This is really ancient, both in the mechanics but also the visual. Nice fitting for the theme! haha
Good game :)
Super simple and short, but fun and relaxing! Graphics also simple but polished, I like it :)
The hand-drawn look is really different and makes it stand out indeed. The experimenting factor is amazing, exactly how the description presents the game, an alchemist entering a temple and finding unknown elements in it, having no choice but experimenting and combining. :)
Lovely graphics and fun mechanics. Controls were a bit challenging. It was fun to fall and hit the target in mid-air :)
That's a very fun game! Basic, one mechanic and fun :) My score was 1153, is that good? haha
Graphics were kind of blurred on my machine though, not sure why. Here's a screenshot: http://take.ms/3nc9n
@MrErdalUral You're right, I didn't see the "Fantastic" setting note in the description and went with the default one, which was "Fastest". It's kind of weird Unity messes up with the texture filtering like that though.
I will play again, this time with the proper settings! :)
It's fun to throw the weapons, nice entry :)
I like the instruments, definitely ancient. I think my timing sucks though because I couldn't get past the first level haha
Music is fantastic, and I like the general idea of the game, but it's a bit incomplete as others have said. The graphics of the initial level are pretty cool too! :)
Incredible art! Quite impressive you guys done all these assets in such a short time
That's quite an original concept, which brings an unique crafting mechanic, although hard to get it right. Music is very pleasant too, nice entry! :)
Interesting story, but now I'm curious to know the end of it haha
It would be awesome if you always had more than one option to communicate, to give a sense of control over the story.
I really love the graphics of this game, especially the lighting! In fact lighting goes well everywhere haha. I played the Mac version, so probably didn't include the post-jam fixes you mention in the itch.io page, although I found it super fun and didn't really find any bugs while playing.
I didn't reach the boss though, failed miserably on the several spikes and those falling totems that are absurdly hard, although the challenge is part of the game, so that's OK.
The flying orb enemies are awesome, I wish there were more of them. It feels super satisfying and rewarding to destroy those drones and collect their shards and coins, whatever that is for.
Good game :)
I love the graphics of this one! Somehow this game sent me back to my childhood haha. The computer desk filled with random floppy disks, the computer running some crazy awesome DOS game, and having to blow cartridges to make them work, I miss that lol
My record was 384 seconds, it took me a while to understand what to do, and more importantly how everything was related to the time machine (the time machine leds weren't clear enough). Fun game! Too bad I don't have a time machine now lol
As for the Mac build, it's bad like @Tinj says, but for me, closing the game ends the flickering borders, so it's more an annoyance than a real problem. (Seriously? Reinstall the OS???)
Anyway, cool game! :)
Graphics sooo cuuutee!! The retro platform feel is amazing, and the mechanic is pretty nice too, and challenging. I failed a few times on the last one. The message about the game being short actually added value to it haha
Nice entry! :)
That's an interesting approach to Dante's Inferno, and quite challenging too. Might not be polished but it's finished, so congrats for that :)
Maybe there could be an option to completely refuse someone too, giving them another chance or something haha
Fantastic game, cute graphics, simple mechanics, and fun! My record was 226. Thanks for making it :)
Nice asteroids approach, but controls are hard. It also kind of sucks to spawn on top of wood and instantly lose. I believe if the gameplay were a bit faster the game would be more enjoyable. Nice game name by the way :)
