that's actually a great idea, shame you lost a chunk of time on the weekend! Would love to see the original version you envisioned, although this is fun too. Great work! :)
Oh man, great idea. Kitties and vacuum cleaner, best ingredients for a good laugh. Combined with the cute graphics this really resonates well with me :)
I really love the bold graphics. And the overall idea is heartwarming too, great work! :)
Woah it's hard to come up with and develop such an original idea during a jam, hats off to you! Really like the gameplay and how it resonates with developer like most of us here probably are (at least it felt familiar for me ;) Awesome!
Hahaha great idea, babies/children was also my first thought when hearing the topic, but had no good game mechanic to go with that ^^
Nice, the idea is pretty unique and gameplay is fun :)
Really liked it, camera could be a bit more zoomed in probably, but overall very nice work for a jam game!
Love it, incredible what you got out of the short timeframe, especially visuals! Impressive stuff indeed :)
This is awesome, great work!
Haha great idea! Love the fact you included VR capabilities although I couldn't try them out yet. And it's great your game even got some deeper meaning, making people aware of the problems with getting rid of toxic waste. great work!
This looks sooo good, hats off! :O
Haha nice idea and really well done for that short timeframe! FPS survival horror with treats and candy/sweets is such a good idea, kudos to you :D
Nice art style, definitely liked it. And lol at the games general premise, poor old santa haha
Very nice, took a bit of getting into it but definitely a great Jam result, hats off to you. :)
Very impressive considering it was done in 12h :O Great work, would love to see what you can come up with if given more time!
The kitties are so sweet :D
Awesome stuff, really enjoyed it! The humor totally sells it and the graphics are very well done, love the pixelart/3D mix!
There's no way I can't like a game with a kitty in it ;) You did really well, I especially like the graphics, well done :)
Haha loved the idea of breaking into a building and stealing coins only to shoot them at others on your way out :P Nice graphics and gameplay is well done too! Great work!
Great idea and very well executed. Great to see you're continuing with it post-jam :)
Love the idea, very fitting game for the theme, congrats! I love how this could easily be expanded into a really educational game while still being great fun (for example lot's of different deseases/viruses/bacteria etc.) as enemies and choosing the correct kind of shot to kill them (whatever help against the specific enemy in "reality") Nice work!
Very well done, great idea and neat execution. Very fitting to the theme :)
Thanks for the feedback @jeremy-wolf, will keep it in mind next time :)
@benjamin-san-souci Thanks, haha I didn't plan for anybody to get that far, probably should've thought of a win condition too, or increase the difficulty so nobody gets that far. Thanks for the feedback! :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback everybody, much appreciated! I set up a github repo (linked as "Source Code" above) and intend to fix everything pointed out here. :)
@sun-wukong: I tried to create a smart camera system which focuses on the area between cursor and character. I now realize a simple but working camera system would've been better than a smart but half-assed one. Keeping it in mind next time and I'll update this one for sure.
@ahintoflime @disperse I never experienced this problem, neither did my testers, but I'll definitely look into it, sounds like quite the gamebreaker here. Could you maybe provide some infos which systems you were using if possible?
@mgadrat: Glad you like it!
@cubeeo: I worded that wrong, I didn't initially plan for anyone to get that far was what I tried to say. ^^
Hey @samboyer276, thanks a lot for your feedback! I'm definitely planning on fixing the stuff you mentioned, first of all the balancing. I already implemented most of the stuff you mentioned (available at the github repository). Next is smoother camera movement :)
@nekomews: Thanks, I agree with the camera. Are you referring to the invisible bounds with the collision issue or something else?
@jason-kennedy: True, noted and will fix this! thx
@saramartins: Spot on observation with the texel density on the adges, need to fix that. Odd you couldn't run and fire, definitely need to look into that. Because of time constraints I only implemented a fire mode which uses a big delay in the beginning, so you get a constant fire rate when just holding down the mouse button, not one shot per mouse click. Maybe that was the issue? If so, it's on my todo list!
@king-kujito: Thanks, glad you enyojed it. Felt so too, next time I'll make sure to leave some time for balancing ;)
@local-minimum: Nice user name hehe Great observation with the sounds, putting it on my todo list! Camera will be redone too!
@ddrkirbyisq: Glad you found this one out, I'll implement a one-shot-per-click firing mechanic until the fire rate is up to a certain threshold when holding down is more convenient to fire.
Thanks to all of you, I'll checkout and rate your games now :)
