Needs work, it's hard to move when you are too heavy and impossible to beat in some cases, there should be a calorie burning thing (like walking a lot) because there isn't always an apple, and the movement is awkward at times. Good idea and fits the theme well!
Good idea, but it was difficult. At first the snow kept updating all over the place and it was super laggy. Then it was hard to tell if the snow was too tall and I would find myself with a stack of ambulances. It was a good idea, but the gameplay needs some improvement :)
GREAT GAME HONESTY!
I found this game a really fun and enjoyable, would be a good online game for a site like OneMoreLevel, besides the movement being a bit finicky, I think this is a good game :)
Would you mind checking out my game? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/leaf-me-alone
VERY FUN GAME!! I really like the graphics and enjoy the gameplay, but it is hard from the start and overwhelming before I can even grab the ammo bag next to me! So, good game, hard gameplay.
Great game, not necessarily new or innovative, but it has a simple concept and easy gameplay :)
@snipera the space bar does the raking, it's good for large piles and pushing leaves off of the screen, thanks for asking :)
@vfabien21 Thanks so much! And yes I realize the name is unoriginal :joy: Just quick thinking.
I feel like the graphics could use some work, but the game is definitely fun and could be addictive, I enjoyed it! EDIT: I also enjoy the meter and counter graphics, great job!
It's a weird idea, not very addicting, but it is a fun challenge, fits the theme well, and has a simple idea behind it, good job :)
First of all, thanks for trying my game, the scores only update on certain browsers (Chrome), I removed them then added them back, it's not in my ability to fix it. Anyway you game was really fun concept, I think it could have a little more to it (music wise and content wise), but I don't know what it's like to do a 3D game. I enjoyed trying to get more toys saved and always ended missing one or two. Good fun, Good luck!
I found the game fun, however it was very slow at the beginning and the controls window disappeared fast, but once the astroid spawns became faster it was so much more fun!
If you don't mind, could you take a look at my game? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/leaf-me-alone
Cool and interesting game. I didn't understand the dollar amount in the corner and the text was a little hard to read but I enjoyed the game, I think it has potential to be a full 20 or 30 level game.
@darkguardsman Im sorry to hear that the game didn't work. The problem may be that you need to install Unity webgl extension into your browser. The windows version might not work at all, but try the web version again. Google Chrome is the best way.
@fireslash the game is pretty heavy on some computers. The best way to solve this is to have it be the only thing running on the computer. Could you try to download it? Doing that may also help reduce lag.
@roidz yeah, I hope you enjoyed the game! Sounds were last on our list of things to do because we're not really sound designers and both of us were absent for the last 12 hrs of the jam. There was a plan to add sound, however time was not on our side :upside_down:
Simple and fun, the controls are a bit difficult but I guess that's part of the game.
It's frustrating sometimes but fun.
This game is great! 10/10 would play this while sitting in the bathroom again. It was actually pretty fun once I got the hang of it. The beginning was a little infuriating though. Good game!
Pretty fun and funny! I wish there was more to it, and the grab feature needs a bit of work, but you're on to something with this one! Very fun.
@starr-fighter05 Yeah! Thank you for rating, I will be sure to rate yours when I get a chance. What did you think of the final product?
@plepletier the game doesn't have a very good tutorial, I know, I wanted to add one, but timing didn't work out. The controls were listed at the beginning of the game though! To grab a tool you click it and to use it you drag. I hope you will try the game again knowing this :smiley:
Interesting idea. I feel like there could've been a lot more though, like editing the files directly and learning new abilities. It was a good puzzle and I'm glad I got a chance to play it :)
Good game for your first LD!
That was a cool game. The idea is heavily overused though. Would've been cooler with sound and could've used a twist in it, but I enjoyed it.
I am a little lost on how to get started, the game looks impressive. Can you make a tutorial, I'd love to play to completion :smiley: Edit: I figured it out. After I learned a little more about the game I was able to complete it. It's unfortunate that there is no sound or animation in the game, that would've been cool, but nonetheless it was a cool game idea.
@shaolin-dave yeah. We went all out this jam. Scroll wheel weapons switching isn’t in every game and isn’t as simple as you may think, and part of the game is learning the spell codes because if they were easy, you would do them all the time, but instead you have to learn them. You can skip the tutorial but it’s important and you can’t complain about misunderstanding the game if you skip it. Thanks for the feedback!
@khaoz-fang What exactly should we fix in your opinion? Feedback is appreciated.
@torculus Thanks for the feedback! The spell codes are meant to be learned, but maybe they are too difficult. Thanks again.
@mza Sorry your spacebar didn't work. In the past, people have complained about the lack of tutorial in our games, so we made one, but you can skip it if you feel it is too long.
@michaelaranda are you sure? The head-bobbing is tied to the game's frame rate (its a screen effect), if you play on medium or above graphics, it's a lot slower. Strafing is a thing in the game, some computers only allow 1 key to be pressed at a time, you can fix that in your computer's settings. The game does not have a menu for the shop, it is a physical place. You teleport there and click on what you want to buy, you may want to retry the game because the shop is pretty straightforward.
@rac-games The tutorial voice is at the loudest in-game volume possible, maybe yours was turned down? Also we added the tutorial last minute, so I did not have enough time to sort out all the textures. We were originally going to have a video. I didn't have a chance to test every spell thoroughly, and did realize the glitch afterwards, but people rarely actually use the spells. The game is pretty balanced without that one spell though.
@mika-la-grand I am going to try and hit on all of your points really quick so here we go. We did polish everything and I feel like the game was quite fun on its own, but you have to play it right. A game made in only 4 hours for a 72 hour game jam would not be very good, I participated in 5 jams total and it's always idea/basics day 1, finish mechanics day 2, then polish day 3, always seems to work really well. The teleporting isn't a game mechanic, more of just a clever way to access the shop. There are spells that help you attack bats, but you said you didn't use them, that's on you. I also assume you didn't sit through the tutorial which, while made quickly towards the end of the jam, so I admit graphics aren't great for the tutorial, it does cover a lot of things that you had trouble with.
- The Gun and bow do not have limited range, you learn how to aim over time, otherwise they are too OP. The gun can shoot infinitely far and you can pull back the bow to fire all the way across the arena. - Staying in the shop, while strategic, does not increase your score, and actually hurts you because your score is not increasing, so the shop has its time and place. - Like I said earlier, there are some really good spells that improve the game experience, so you should consider playing the game again if you did not use spells at all. - Bats fly at you and you must kill them before they hit you - You just have a bad computer. If you play on medium graphics there is no issue with the game speed. You must select a level of graphics your computer can handle, and we even said above in bold how important that is. - If you think our game isn't polished you can't also tell us to add more features. Each ground enemy has a different speed, but all are melee. - I would rather prefer a wave system in the game. There is one, it is just hidden in the code, unannounced, and can sometimes be fast. This is a change that I would make. - If you sit through the whole tutorial it give you everything you need to play the game. From your comments above, it seems you skipped the tutorial.
Your list of changes is mostly not changes, and they are not difficult to add because they are in the game. Thanks for the comment on the models. The game isn't bad, it is meant to be comical with the enemy types, and intriguing with the gameplay. If played correctly after watching through the tutorial, the game is quite fun, it has some issues, as any quick game may have, but not many.
It was interesting and sort of fun as a puzzle game, I'll say that. In terms of the theme, I feel that there was no attempt. Instead of having a health bar, you just replaced the word "health" with "money". You can not spend the money, so there is no reason to call it that. I also feel that there aren't enough levels for the 72 hours of game making allowed. The bonus level also seems impossible. There should be more of a tutorial to the game, it is unclear as to what the controls, switch button rules, and fan rules are. A tutorial would be very helpful. At one point the game froze and I couldn't do anything but restart it. As for the music and graphics, good job for working alone and your first time.
Overall, a very good game with a cool idea and an interesting graphics choice. I feel like there could be more upgrades, different enemies, and more music/sound, but for a 24hr jam it was good.
Awesome game, had lots of fun! I hope you continue this project, very good level design, fun music, nice graphics. The only thing I think it needs is a background and a menu. Other than that, very solid entry!
Interesting concept, but I fail to see how it fits the theme.
@jeremy-ryan Thanks for your feedback :smile: Balancing is definitely one of the more difficult parts of game dev, so I'll agree that sometimes the game can be aggressive. And I'm not a musician (or an artist for that matter) so making sure the gameplay was fun was my top priority. Thanks again, I hope you enjoyed!
@ponypen Thanks, yeah I've been criticized for lack of tutorial in the past so I made it a priority to get it in this one! @demogorgon Audio is definitely not my strongest category, but thanks for your feedback, it is appreciated! @adam-konig :smile: I'm glad you like my voice acting! I had several ideas too and I wasn't sure about this one but I'm very happy how it turned out! Those controls are a good idea, and I will keep it in mind. Thanks for your feedback! @maggardjosh Thanks for your feedback, you have to lose eventually though right? I will continue to work on balancing though, it shouldn't feel unfair. Thanks!
@meelo Thanks! Hmm interesting mixed reviews finding it easy & hard but wow that is a great idea to have more red balloons, will be adding that in the future.
@rixium Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!
@greebs Thanks so much for your feedback! :smile: I deserve that deduction, cake should've been there :disappointed: but fun fact, my birthday was on Saturday, my name's not Billy, but I'll accept your birthday wish!
Anonymous - The tutorial says that the red balloon is the only balloon you need to stay alive, although I suppose that could've been more clear, thanks for your feedback.
The music and graphics were cool and I thought the idea of the game was interesting, but maybe a leveling system would make the game a little more broken up? I understand that the game is supposed to be difficult but it shouldn't be frustrating. Anyways, good submission!
Pretty good game! The sound effects and music were on point, the graphics were simple and nice to look at. The game was kinda basic, but it's functional! Could use a menu / better UI and definitely add harder levels.
A really sweet game! It felt interesting, just enough frustration to be fun, knowing what I need to do, just not being able to do it. Sometimes the controls felt unresponsive, but besides that its a good game!
It was quite difficult to attack enemies without dying, other than that its a cute little game.
Cool little game! Could've used more tutorial, and sometimes colliders didn't match what was shown. But overall, pretty good game!
Really fun game! Could've used music and maybe a little more animation, but I really enjoyed playing and was determined to finish it no matter how long it took, this is worth continuing to develop.
