A very fun, cute and relaxing puzzle game. Great characters, that ball guy is my favorite! Awesome job! :smiley:
I really like how the UI looks and also love the audio. It feels very polished overall, well done! :smile:
Hey! I really enjoyed your game due to the amount of freedom given to the player on how to tackle the next obstacle. I wish there were more levels but I understand it was probably due to the lack of time. I also would have enjoyed more harder obstacles like that last spike pit where you had to use multiple objects fast. Overall a very fun game, good job! :smile:
Loved the setting, the story was interesting to follow. I felt that gameplay was a bit slow in the beginning and I was always short on food compared to the other resources. I managed to defeat the boar but you should maybe let the player know that the boar health resets when going back to camp somehow or maybe not reset it at all. Overall a great game, well done!
I really love the art and the smooth animations! The audio is also top notch. Good job!
The puzzles were great, the black hole level was a good challenge! I would have liked to automatically enter doors when they are open, I accidentically reset the level multiple times when trying to enter. The physics on the ball felt great. Well done overall!
Really great sound effects and good looking 3D models. Bit short but understandable due to the timeframe. I also got the same bug as the other commenters. The controls and the shooting + reload felt really good, great job!
Cute and fun, relaxing music, great plant animations. Unique idea on the genre, great work!
Grabbing asteroids and bringing them back makes for a great game loop. The spaceship feels good to control as well, good job! :smiley:
I like the minimalistic art and the sound effects are also nice. Maybe give the player more indication on the progress.
Loved the art and animations! Didn't find any other player but super cool that you made an online game for the jam. Well done! :smiley:
Great game! I've got some notes for you: * Great title * Nice pixel art * The food system was a bit hard * I found it sometimes hard to hit enemies * Awesome music, it sets the atmosphere
Overall good job!
I think the shop button is a little bit too small, it's hard to navigate to it when your time is so precious. Otherwise a great game, good job!
Really like the game! I got to level 27 but then the game crashed (web verison). It was a bit hard to see everything at later stages due to the increasing number of black squares, I think it could be better to remove them at the end of each round (which maybe also helps the performance). Great game mechanics, the game loop felt really good. Well done!
@pabricka: I totally agree that more options in the battle would have improved the game a lot, thank you for your comment Pabricka!
@siegmayer: Thank you siegMAYer, I like it as well!
@saviqq: I love your notes Saviqq, I'll make sure work on those flaws in my future projects! Huge thank you! :smiley:
@marco-le-van: I'll make sure to include music and sounds in the next LD submission! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game Marco!
@goutye: That's awesome, thank you Goutye! :smile:
The controls feel really really good along with catchy music. Nice with tutorial images showing you what to do. The art and the smooth animations look great as well. Overall a well rounded game, great job! :smiley:
Good job with the game! I got some notes for you:
**Great stuff**
* Catchy music * Good game loop * Hilarious sound effects!
**Small stuff you could improve**
* Bit hard to understand what to do at first. Maybe include some tutorial text? * The red color on the score text is a bit tough to look at * Able to have a negative score count
All in all good game that made me crack up real hard!
Beautiful pixel art!
Thank you guys! I totally agree with you that it's not that fun to play. I'll try to focus a lot more on that next time!
The mechanic with having the cursor as the light source at deeper parts of the ocean feels really good, it makes finding the treasures a lot of fun! I do think that the completely black parts of the ocean feel a bit unneccessary, I found myself stuck in there a few times and couldn't see that I was stuck. Good job on finishing the game! :smiley:
Really cool that you managed to implement the "strand-like" mechanic during a game jam. Well done!
Very good pixel art, great gameplay loop with cool setting. Awesome job! :smiley:
Feels very polished. Great pixel art and animations, gives great immersion. I think it would be nice to be able to speed up the UI text somehow. Love the AI jokes and all in all a great game!
Becomes addictive fast. Would have liked it if the general drilling speed was somewhat higher, but otherwise the balance feels good. Well done! :smiley:
Really good 3D models and nice looking water! Great job with the game! :smiley:
Loved how you animated the player, it looks great! The controls are tight and the physics feel good. Would have liked to able to contol the player with WASD. All in all a great game!
Love your unique visual style, and your music is incredibly good. Great job you guys! :smile:
Love how you implemented the overworld! The movement feel a bit clunky but you get kinda used to it. The visuals work and the music is very relaxing, great job with the game!
Love tactics games like this, great job with the game!
The upgrade system is great! Good job on finishing the game!
Great art and animations, the movement also feels good! I think it would have been clearer if the enemies would have some sort of attack animation to show that they are attacking the crystal. Good job with the game guys! :smiley:
You have some great ragdoll physics there, makes the game super funny! The prototype scene was also great to check out. Well done! :smile:
I find that the submarine is a bit hard to control and I couldn't figure out how to get more ammo, so I think a tutorial would have been nice to have. I do like the sound effects and the 3D models a lot. Great job on finishing the game! :smiley:
Great game idea! Feels a bit too hard on the first try. Love how many events there are, they give you a lot of immersion. All in all good job with the game!
Fun cocept with very satisfying sound effects, especially the click when a cart is dropped. Would have liked it even more if the game was a bit harder. All in all a very polished game, well done! :smiley:
Feel free to leave any feedback, we appreciate it! :smiley:
Feels polished right from the start. I found it a bit hard to rotate the pieces in the way I wanted, but otherwise I found the game mechanic to be fun! Great voice acting and the 3D models makes for a cool atmosphere. Well done!
Great presentation and concept, really cool that you managed to create a card game for the compo! I wasn't able to beat the game but it was still fun. Great entry overall, well done!
Also disliked the theme at the start, cool that you made a game out of spite haha. Love the hilarious animations. Well done!
Feels very polished and looks amazing. Would have loved to play more levels. Great job guys!
You really nailed the mood of the game, gives me slender man vibes. The visual style is unique and fits really well in a horror game. Well done!
The 3D pool concept is fun! I also got the bug that the ball exits the box sometimes, but otherwise I enjoyed playing. Simple but effective graphics and great camera transitions. Well done!
Very cute sheep and player sprites, love the paper mario look. The attacking part is really polished and feels good. Great job guys!
You guys nailed the game feel, the combos especially are immensely satisfying. The artstyle is on point as well. Very high quality entry, keep up the good work!
Got to day three on my second try, I think I got pretty lucky!
Loved the setting, great looking graphics and the simple game mechanic. I think a way to speed up the enemy turns would have been nice to have.
Overall I liked the game a lot, great job guys!
The game is easy to understand and very satisfying when you complete a level. The last level is quite a lot harder than the rest and serves as a good final test for the player. I had a very fun time playing, well done!
The graphics look great and the animations and sound makes the game feel alive. The gameplay is fun and easy to understand. The leaderboards is also a great feature. Well done!
The upgrades to the beam makes it feel very satisfying when it goes off. As another commenter already pointed out, the other upgrades didn't feel as impactful as the beam upgrades. The animations make the game feel alive and the quality and amount of the 3D models is very impressive for a jam game. I had a blast playing your game, well done!
The particle effects on the destroyed ships make it feel satisfying when you hit an enemy. I had some difficulties hitting enemies, perhaps faster bullets could solve this. Overall a good entry, well done!
Best looking game I have seen so far, and the soundtrack is a banger. The only suggestion I have is to make the jump feel better (as another comment already pointed out). Very good game overall, well done!
The music and the dark environment gives the game a very good atmosphere. I could unfortunately not find any treasures, but I enjoyed myself regardless. I also found the scanning effect on the environment very cool.
Great job guys! :smiley:
The minigames are all fun and it feels satisfying when you complete them. The graphics and spam email are quite amusing and the difficulty feels fair. Overall a very fun game, well done!
The shooting and the special weapons feel very satisfying. I also like the choice of using 3D for a survivor-like game. Well done!
The game looks great and the sound effects are satisfying. The physics makes the objects fun to interact with. The packing process feels relaxing in a way. Well done!
The negative effects of the cards are a clever mechanic that makes the decisions impactful. The gameplay loop is fun and the cards give a lot of variety to the game. Well done!
Took a while to understand the rules, but once I enjoyed the game a lot. The pixel art look great and the sound effects when writing the code makes the game feel satisfying. Overall a great entry, well done!
Impressive that you made this in your own custom engine for a jam! The graphics look good the sound effects add a lot to the experience. Well done!
Very dreamy-like experience, the music and sprites sets the mood very well! Couldn't understand how to interact with the creatures at first but figured it out after a while and got some points.
Well done with the game!
Quite spooky atmosphere with all the creepy sound effects, it shows that you spent a lot of time on it! The reloading felt a bit too long but that could also be just me being bad at the game. I loved the flash from the shotgun, the glimpse of all zombies approaching and makes you more scared than before. Well done!
Very charming visuals, and the audio is also great. I had a hard time to make use of all buttons in combination with each other so I hit a lot of red blocks haha :sweat_smile:
Water dashing feels really good to use due to all the bubbles and sound effects. Overall a great entry, well done!
I love the color palette and the cool looking sprites! All animations look great as well and makes the game feel alive. I had some difficulties hitting the demons after doing an uppercut on them at first, but eventually got the hang of it. The large iron fist along with the slow motion effect while charging makes the attack feel very satisfying.
Overall a great entry, well done!
Very charming and fun physics based puzzler! The claw is satisfying to use and makes the game unique. The robot expressions are great feedback to the player and gives the character a lot of personality. Overall great visuals and audio.
I am amazed by how you were able to make all of this for the compo, really well done!
I like how the new mechanics are progessively introduced to the player along with some excellent puzzle levels for each mechanic. I had some issues with the slingshot automatically firing if the cursor went outside the edge of the screen. I enjoyed the game quite a lot, I managed to get to the green pizza levels. Well done!
@hacksawunit @delta-key @waffleworksgames
Thanks for the great feedback! It's good to know what works and what I should improve on in upcoming jams, like the music.
Looking forward to playing your games! :smiley:
@tumblingpuffin Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@tumblingpuffin That is unfortunate, you are not the only one who didn't notice the launching mechanic (throw paper down while in the air to launch yourself in opposite direction), so I should have made the mechanic much more clear. Thank you for giving it a shot and giving me stuff to think about in upcoming jams!
Love deck builders and this scratches that itch, very impressive with a deck builder in a compo submission! Had some trouble with the king at first but then figured out a magic missiles build that worked out. Well done with the game!
Smacking the bad guys and the rockets feel really good, you have some nice feedback effects for the player there. As others have mentioned, the color palette is really good and I like all of the pixel art sprites. I had a lot of fun playing, managed to get about 800 points. Well done!
The graphics look great and the audio sets the mood well. Like some others I feel that the attacks could feel better if they were quicker to do. I wasn't good enough at the game to finish it but I enjoyed my time with the game regardless. A solid entry, well done!
Loved going up the ramps and ramming into the "walls" made out of cubes while driving around. Nice indicator showing where the next objective is, but was a bit hard to read sometimes as previously mentioned. The feedback sound on pickup is makes the pickups feel good. Well done with the game!
I found it a bit hard to control the car and found the obstacles hard to navigate, maybe some checkpoints could help. Loved the physics aspects and the low poly models look great. Well done!
I delivered a lot of wrong babies.. The sound effects makes the deliveries feel impactful and are fun to listen to. The animations on the printers makes the game feel more alive and the indicators are good for keeping track of everything.
Congratulations on completing your first gamejam and well done!
Really solid jam entry, one of the best I played so far! Easy to get into and graphics look great. Completed my run in 8:36, and I had a great time playing :) Well done guys!
Really great looking game, I love the style. I had some difficulties figuring out how to equip spells but after some time I got the hang of it and the different spells felt good to use. Well done!
Managed to clear all 7 levels, level 6-7 were really tough and a fun challenge.
I had some trouble understanding why some enemies required 2 hits until I saw the difference in armour, so this could maybe be shown more clearly somehow.
Best game I played so far because of the simple but unique concept and great game feel (and it's a compo game)! Well done!
The game feels alive with all of the animations and the great looking sprites. I personally would have liked the animation to be a bit quicker, but otherwise I enjoyed the game loop a lot. Really cool that you managed to create a card game in such a short time, well done! :)
Really easy to get into, I understood the mechanics right away :D
Feels great to cast the spell cards. I would have loved to play with more unit types so I could strategize more (maybe some ranged unit?). Overall I had a great time, really well done!
Great execution on a simple game concept! I managed to get 120 points before getting overwhelmed, was pretty fun! The the PICO-8 retro graphics look great and I'm very impressed you did this in just a couple of hours. Well done :D
What a banger soundtrack and great looking game! I love the vfx, and the models look great too. The gameplay feels juicy (love the screenshake) and found the task system to be interesting and think it adds variety to the game. Overall, I had a great time. Well done guys! :D
I really dig the atmosphere and visuals, and nice touch with being able to see character when behind other objects. Watching the farmers run away was another great addition :)
I made it to the big cannons, but I had trouble making my army move there since the old buildings kept respawning Maybe having some way to give an objective to the units could be used to solve this?
Overall I had a great time with the game, really well done! :D
Great aesthetic and 3d models! I had some difficulties with the summoning part and died to the enemies, but I think the game looks super cool! Well done :)
Really cool camera transitions and animations and a great concept! I had some trouble controlling the hammer at first but then I got the hang of it. I managed to win against the purple lady but somehow died immidately after haha, but that is something that can easily be fixed :)
Overall I had a good time, well done!
Fat mage with tons of guns is really funny, and I laughed when I saw Alfonso too :D
I liked the feedback on many of the guns and the large amount of weapons added a lot of variety to the game. Great usage of the camera in the cutscenes as well :)
Alfonso wrecked me haha, really well done!
I managed to get 1826 coins, really interesting and fun game! Maybe some balancing issues (found it hard to find mana potions and restore mana), but that is expected from a jam game.
I think your unit battling aspect has a lot of potential since it is similar to autobattlers, which is a genre that do really well on Steam (like Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot for example, I recommend this recent talk from Chris Zukowski if you are interested in that stuff: https://www.youtube.com/live/cj5QFdP1YY4?si=tXmPuxSBmfQ5iMGW ). So if you decide to take the project further (which I think you should in some way), I would suggest looking into that genre :)
I'm very impressed with this jam entry, really well done guys!
Once I understood the mana system and the summoning, I really liked the game loop of casting different spells and doing it fast :) I unfortunately happened to pressed enter which restarted the game, perhaps this could be changed to another button. Great take on the survivor-genre, well done! :D
I really liked the sprites and graphics, very unique! I managed to get a couple of upgrades, but unfortunately kept dying to the very fast wolves. Cool take on a vampire survivors-like, well done!
