This is spectacular. I love the aesthetic and the gameplay. It was super fun from start to finish! Only gripe is that z is not very intuitive to me when using wasd. Maybe something I can hit with my pinky like left control would be a good alternate for the fire button. Great work, super impressive!
Superb! The music and art style worked together so well, and served the gameplay, too! My only negative was that if I was moving pretty fast and pressed X to drop the fish, the ones that were trailing behind me weren't scored if they weren't in the zone. Once I realized that I adjusted how I played, though.
I agree with the other commenters that this feels at home on an arcade cabinet. Super creative, great work!
This was a super creative idea and I really liked the music and the art style. The levels were fun, but I found it a bit frustrating how slowly the fish moved. I'm really impressed with the level of polish reached in the compo window! Great job!
This is great! Loved the music, and the art was really cute. Only comments I really have are on the endgame - I fully isolated Jar Jar's frogs, and once there were no more lilypads there wasn't any indication that the game was over. Must be a bug, because I played it again and got a high score screen when there were no more available moves. Great work!
Now this is a game. Super unique concept, and the execution is fun! I love how gross the feet are. The music was also really great! I agree with the comment above that the floor broke kinda fast. Great work!
I loved this! I also ran into the issue where the game froze and the music kept playing, but you already seem aware of this. This kinda reminded me of the sort of game I'd play on Nitrome back in the day. Super polished, and I loved the music! I think my only complaint was that it wasn't super clear to me what counted as 'being next to two bacillus' to place the pseudo. Super minor, though; I figured it out quickly enough. Overall, great work!
This was a lot of fun! I thought the execution was really good and the idea was very unique! I also really liked the art style. There were a couple of times where colliders didn't seem to line up - either there was a gap in the collider that seemed like it shouldn't be there, or a time where the art showed a slight gap but there wasn't one in the colliders. Aside from that, though, solid game! Good work!
Terrific! It was a little unclear to me what 'max biomass' and 'excess biomass' meant, so I think a good addition would be some more clarification about those terms. Otherwise, I had a blast playing it! Great work!
This was a lot of fun - I kept being surprised with each successive net upgrade, it became comically large. I'm torn about the vacuum - early game I was impatient about it recharging, but once I had a bunch of upgrades I felt like it should charge less quickly; I was able to get most of my hundred thousand in two uses of the vacuum. Maybe if the vacuum's charge slowed down as you got more upgrades that would help with the pacing. That's super minor though!
Great job!
I had a lot of fun playing this! The art and music was great, and I love games where the concept is 'numbers go up'. A couple notes: -I thought it was a little bit unclear what stats the child would be born with. Is it just randomly picking from the parents' stats? -The drag and drop was a bit frustrating at times - plenty of times it just didnt register where I dropped properly.
Overall, great submission! Super fun!
@jejkobb and @coderaurus thank you for the feedback! I'm kicking myself because I can see what you're talking about. Those were on my burndown chart but were cut for time. Thanks for playing!
@sviborg Thanks for the feedback! I had wanted to add multiple kinds of 'arrows' you can fire - maybe if I keep working on it I will!
@adjo thanks! I had a lot of fun making the animations.
Agree with the other commenters - the aesthetic is great! It's unclear to me, though, why I'm winning or losing. Does placing my bugs in a particular order matter? Is it just purely how many bugs I have that match with the bugs under the cup? If the latter, It would be good to highlight the matches - the game moves through scoring pretty quickly so I can't really tell why I won or lost. Great work, though!
I love everything about this! The idea is so fun and humorous, and the execution is perfect. Even though the last level didn't make perfect thematic sense with the rest of the game, it was a fun tongue in cheek way to end it. Great job!
