Pretty fun game! love the voice acting. visuals could use more work. i have 4:3 monitor and sprites looked a bit squashed. basically... "My maan"/10
Really cool concept. Would love if it had some visuals besides simple shapes, sound effects feel satisfying aswell. good job!
Really loved the game! fun visuals, entertaining and somewhat intense gameplay. well done!
Thought Mortal Kombat would test my might, i was wrong. It is the most intense basketball game i've ever played. oddly fun honestly! you could make visuals a bit better. its metalic setting is raised to maximum which makes colors a bit weird to distinguish when on low settings. nevertheless pretty decent game!
This is a masterpiece. top notch sound effects, insane dog macroing. unexpectedly the player death sound had me cracking up from laughing. 11/10 would profesionally walk dogs while dying like a tin can again.
10/10 Better than Wolfenstein3D. You could make bullets faster, spawned from center, a bit big and brighter, you could also add more bass to the shooting sound, would feel better :)
Hey, just to notify you. You only uploaded the .exe of the game which doesn't work itself. to simplify the explanation. create a folder, build your game in that folder and zip everything that will be in the folder. cheers!
Really fun game, satisfying to play aswell!
Has a potential. Art is really nice. You could increase pacing of the game because its too slow. It doesn't feel like anything is being degraded when leveling up as i tried to degrade speed as much but i felt like i was becoming faster. You can add different enemy types for more fun :) for example you could have ninja that throws shurikens from random places, it would add a little depth to the game so you can focus on something. It lacks challenge a little bit but as i mentioned: has very big potential. good luck!
Before i played this i was a bad boi. now im a good boi. thank you boi
@jjjjason This game is my first entry for LD jam. It started out with keyboard controls, game was a little bit too easy. They infact blink rather than dashing. there were some code issues so i just rolled with it and gave first guy a teleporting device :P thanks for the rating!
@nexusbreaker Thank you :) It is meant to be a difficult game but once used to controls it becomes somewhat simple.
@thiagofr Thanks a lot for the suggestions! i was rushing to get some content in the game before deadline so there are some things that need to be fixed. 1) I never really got to get my character to reach cursor so that was not expected :P 2) There are invisible smooth walls, its just that mesh is there for decoration :) I'll definitely try to upgrade map by the time goes, really had fun working on this project! 3) Enemy bullets don't harm enemy himself. Thanks a lot for the comment!
@jeffchen Thanks a ton! Its about practice :P i playtested it so many times that first boss is like a walk in the park for me :D 1) Agreed, it is kind of annoying and will definitely fix it in future. was rushing to get game published before deadline :) 2) Cursor really needs custom image, i agree. 3) Hitboxes really do need adjusting, i agree. Thanks for all the suggestions, will definitely work on fixing them and yes, i will continue polishing this game as it was huge fun working on this game!
@magicdidac Thanks! To be honest.. teleporting is what made the game what it is :) it would be super simple if enemies just stood in a spot. however, im planning to continue working on this game so ill definitely add characters that don't blink. sound effects do need some spicing up, i just had no time to add more :P
@scott-r-howell Thanks! i toned down health values a little bit because lots of people said bosses were incredibly hard :P glad you enjoyed it nevertheless!
@sadcolor That was hell of a read, thanks for the critique! Obviously this was gamejam and not every bug could be immediately fixed :P i really want to fix those stuff. bosses had roll animation but there were some bugs that just made it pain in the ass, was taking away lots of my time so i said "screw it" and made it blink. it feels like you don't fire in direction where your mouse is because of no proper crosshair in my opinion. I noticed that extra health bug, no clue where that comes from as bosses have exactly same HP in code as visually. I am considering adding multiplayer in future so lets see how it goes! thanks alot for pointing all those stuff out.
Pretty simple, reminds me of those alchemy games that let you mix things until you would get something new. I like the things it gives you to mix around with, fits theme nicely as well :) Pretty relaxing game but i think it would be nice if background wasn't just a solid color, felt a little bit dull
Loved how the game was simple ASCII but it still is stylized with screen effects, very cool :) Also loved the fact that you can set bindings as you go, very useful! The encounters were pretty fun too so overall this is a very solid entry, well done!
Very fun game! Very interesting concept as well, its very fun trying to collect letters and see what playstyle you should go for. So far i definitely didn't see any downside to this game as i had quite some fun and its very nicely polished :) Good job!
Took me a WHILE to figure out that F was the interact button, certainly was a moment. I toasted the key over the fire and went through a door that soon would mean my demise, i entered the 2 Rune stone room, all doors locked in on me and i was eternally damned within the greatest game in the world. 10/10 The Greatest Game in the World
@envy-softworks There were supposed to be things written on UI? On my side there was nothing on UI except for when i touched runes, i got some Debug popups :)
@envy-softworks Tell dave that i'm a 4:3 1280x1024 peasant
@envy-softworks Alas, i do wish i had 16:9. You guys can also add indicator in center when looking at door :)
Very interesting and fun game, really love the art style too, best horse I've seen in any game. Sound design is also very nice but i think gun shot could use a slight variation with every shot to not be super repetitive as its sound you hear the most. The game is incredibly difficult as bandits spawn behind too but the gameplay itself is very fun so very impressive job on that :)
Love the concept, reminds me of Viscera Cleanup Detail with the whole "you reset the game for other players" thing, very cool :) It was very relaxing but i do kinda wish you could hold down mouse to do things, my mouse is probably cursing me out for clicking it so much hahah. I also loved that players fought if they were close, very nice touch. All in all a pretty nice looking fun little entry :)
I love the simple take on strategy formula :) I even managed to find the "Zerg Rush" equivalent in this game (Spamming Sexy bois). It's definitely very simple and fits the theme perfectly too :) loved the concept of having to move your trash to enemy teams side as well, pretty hilarious. I had one issue but mostly because i don't have a 16:9 monitor, i couldn't see bottom UI (if there was supposed to be one) nor the bases with turrets and stuff :) Very fun entry in general, well done!
Pretty fun game :) It's nice that everyone moves at different speeds, makes it pretty intense when you are about to pickpocket and you are close to leaving the shadows. It's pretty interesting that you don't necessarily lose after being caught but if you aren't fast enough you lose in the long run. Overall pretty fun entry but i think there's more that can be done with this mechanic, keep it up :)
This game was probably one that i played the longest out of all the games i tried so far, it was extremely engaging! Music and art is just absolutely top notch, reeeeeeally adds to the feel of the game. The game itself was as i said, extremely engaging, building a story and probably on every playthrough, you will get a different story, i definitely want to try beating this game some day as its extremely entertaining and relaxing, well done! Really love the smooth and simple animations as well, very splendid. I did die with this one weird bug where i ate and next thing i know it says i skipped a meal and died but i'll think of it as a special, exclusive story that i got hahah. Overall insanely great entry, definitely try to rate other peoples games, this game needs to be seen by more :)
Very hilarious entry, well done! Voice acting and comment reactions were definitely awesome. Finding some odd things was also very fun :) I don't really have anything bad to say about this honestly! Adding more interesting points would probably drag the game out (Although you could have several levels with bigger parties) but it shows that you had fun making the game :)
@zsombro Oh that's unfortunate. I in theory did put a pattern where each unit has its own fire rate and they fire shots in equal pauses but i think because there is more than 1 soldier in that pit it gets confusing? Thanks a lot for your input! Will definitely keep that in mind :)
@moddingmachine I'm very glad you enjoyed it! Didn't want to make the game too easy but i hope it wasn't just anger inducing difficulty, Could you share what you found difficult? Would love to know :) I too feel very sad that i had no time for sounds, definitely could have been much better but oh well, I'm glad i managed to put in 11 levels instead :)
@dodelov Hey huge thanks! The 0-3 bug is bizarre, never appeared when playtesting :D As for 1-3 dialogue repeating after death that's really odd, most likely a bug as i definitely programmed a checkpoint and it worked for everyone that i know :) Lack of sounds sadly is not a bug hahah, really felt sad that i had no time for that for sure. Thanks once again!
@pedro-rosa Huuge thanks for the review! The jump animation was definitely inspired by samus's jump... indirectly as i remember i saw it somewhere but didn't remember who jumped like that, thanks for telling that hahah. Yes the shot distance was definitely a game design thing... sadly left from the time when level design was a bit different, definitely forgot to increase the range, it's very difficult to balance a game when you get used to your own games mechanics :) It definitely was difficult to figure out how to approach difficulty as i'm relatively new to platformer genres and i don't quite understand that side of balancing, definitely hoping to improve it for future, thanks for pointing that out :) Sadly i wanted a quick death animation but i ran out of time, had to put up game with 15 minutes left on submission hour. Very glad you enjoyed the humor! It was very fun to write dialogues for this game :) I'm extremely glad that you enjoyed the game and left such a review, thank you!
@welshdivision I'm extremely glad you enjoyed the game to this degree! With these reviews i realized that for some the difficulty is a bit too much, for some its just the right amount, glad you enjoyed the difficulty :) You saying "would play more if there was more" really makes me happy, from the very beginning i wanted to make a sequel to this game but now i'm even more tempted to actually go for it hahah. Huge thanks for this review!
@david-shire I'm very glad you found its difficulty fair :)
@trevor-shoe Thanks a lot! Hitboxes are definitely not adjusted, they are simply fitted perfectly pixel to pixel so its basically very straight forward in collision. Jump happens probably because when holding down space, the ground checker detects ground too quickly and you end up jumping again. Thanks a lot for the comment!
@vaibho Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@jam373 Thank you a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@trevor-shoe Thanks a lot for the suggestion, will definitely try to see how it works! Or for that matter how other platformers do it :)
@honey-pony Thanks a lot for the huge review! Don't worry about harshness, all of the points you stated are very much critical :) First of all the rocket issue on 2-2. As you know playtesting the game on LD is very hard as you are mostly the only one playing the game.. Now the reason why i said that is because for me that part is very doable but of course i couldn't get others to play before upload so... now that you point it out, that part is horribly designed :D Huge thanks for pointing that out, will try to get rid of that kind of design.
As for shooting i definitely don't have a pre-programmed delay, shooting is one of the highest priority in execution order in the script but i will definitely look through that as it seems to be an issue sometimes, i totally got you, thank you :)
I definitely wanted to add clouds to make it look like a window but as you see, there are no clouds :^) (time constraints/sucking at drawing fast). I love how 2-2 seems to be the most problematic level hahah, i did try to put as many combat encounters to keep it fun but yeah, with lack of platformer balancing that... definitely didn't come out as brilliant as i envisioned it hahah.
Yeah that's definitely up to a personal preference, i definitely wanted to experiment on which one would look nicer but sadly had no experience to pull that off :) But even with that i kinda prefer smooth rotation (maybe i need to play more pixel games to give a better answer to this tho so take this with a grain of salt). The scaled pixel art was mostly product of me sucking at drawing, i had really hard time trying to draw a huge version of certain things (e.g. First Boss, had to draw it in small resolution and then upscale to make it look acceptable). I definitely need to sharpen my pixel art skills, i definitely agree on the pixel resolution variety looking odd :)
Thanks a lot for the comment! I definitely can take away a lot of things from that :) Glad you still enjoyed this messy project hahah
@honey-pony Ah damn the invisible platform! I totally forgot to implement that, it did feel weird trying to make some jumps, couldn't figure out what it needed. Thanks a lot :) Your tips definitely help me out as i want to work on this game in the future, huge thanks! Good luck with your entry as well :)
Areyounotentertained.png "Are you not entertained?!"
This game was so damn fun, one of my most favorite entries! The trident guy is one hell of a challenge but it was fun figuring out how to beat him. After that it kind of got easier but still super fun. Bow and arrow was very powerful but i still loved the armor+sword combo the most, very manly. Loved the last bit where game threw everything at once, caught me off guard and definitely made me try my best to stand victorious. Had this one hilarious moment where a man spawned after i killed lion as if he was hiding inside a lion (Played it second time to make sure i wasn't going crazy, it happened again, seems to be either an intentional thing or a bug, love it either way), definitely gave me a good laugh.
All in all a superb game! Also loved the attack sound, state of the art effects right there.
Really awesome entry! Super simple mechanics, art style is solid and i love what decisions can lead to :) Really awesome entry! Couldn't beat it as i got tired on work and died but it was very fun, well done!
Loved the items: Scythe was really fun to use, had fun trying to hit enemies with its returning mechanic but it was kinda annoying that i had to press 1 while aiming with mouse, thankfully i used my 3rd arm and all was well. W A T E R was truly a blessed item, saved me from dying to a boss and also was very refreshing. Big gay laser is truly a highlight, easily going up in ranks with likes of BFG from Doom and The Golden Gun from Goldeneye 007. The death screen was very hilarious, definitely caught me off guard. The art obviously is spectacular, if DaVinci was still alive I'm positive he would be weeping from jealousy.
All in all a fun little entry but i do wish that there were more enemy varieties and i didn't have to involve my 3rd arm in the gameplay.
I like the concept of upgrading your arsenal as you beat rounds but sadly there are only 3 weapons but time constraints exist in Ludum Dare so no judge on that. As for those 3 weapons they feel very weird to use, sword has a huge windup and you get bombarded by others if you try swinging it, i finally found a way i wouldn't just take damage while attacking but yeah, kinda weird to use. Ranged weapons also felt weird to use as you had to aim based on where you are going. I guess adding mouse control would make things easier but you could also have ramped up the challenge by adding enemies that also have projectile weapons and maybe have the ring evolve into something with obstacles. Empty ring could work IF the gameplay supports it :) Take Devil Daggers for example, pure flat map but because of how varied enemies behaviors are the game is very replayable and fun, here sadly enemies just walk up to you and whack you until you die, which is why i think obstacles could spice it up a tad bit :) Also there's no progression system sadly, every time i win the map just restarts. This might sound like i'm bashing but hope it doesn't come off like that, i can see you have potential, just trying tell you what i would prefer, that is all :) All in all i still ended up playing several times messing around with weapons so i definitely can't say i didn't have fun with it, well done! Visuals were also pretty cool!
N0TH1-NG as main character huh... V01-D from my game approves hahah. Pretty simple game, doesn't break any crazy ground but sometimes the simple game is enough :) It works for what it is, Also found it funny when i heard "shake that ass" in music while just blasting dudes out of nowhere, was a very unexpected moment, my immaturity shows god damn it.
Very interesting and minimalistic concept. Usually i don't like those kind of adventure games where you have to type everything but this was pretty interesting :) (Edit just in case you saw this earlier, finally got the game working and finished it). It was very interesting to the very end, really fun to do these things by yourself even tho its quite simple. Would be nice if file names were shown somewhere, didn't remember that file was called "emails.dat" for a while :^) Moving around hubs is slightly awkward but in general super solid entry, well done!
Very interesting entry, especially that you managed it in a single day! I relate to 1 day shtick so i feel you on this one, this is very impressive :) I loved the atmosphere a lot, very great sound effects and environment but i feel like players art was slightly comical and unfitting for the environment (but i also am not sure what would be a good replacement). I'm not sure if there is supposed to be any meaning in this game because dang i can't get it but man, that atmosphere is E X T R A T H I C C. Well done!
Very polished game with really great art and sound design! Really well done on this one! One thing that made me a bit sad was that there are only 2 enemy types and it's not quite challenging, i even tried to see if i would win waves with just a shield and ended up being quite fine :) Variety aside the whole thing is just incredibly satisfying and polished, well done to the team!
Very interesting idea, love narrator talking to the player but the difficulty is a little too much for me as i'm not a platformer player :) It was a bit simple when you just had to see where you were but gravity switching and platforming made my brain shut down with windows XP sound. I feel like there could be a better way to implement the limbo switching but maybe i just need to git gud. Very interesting concept but once again, i just suck. Well done!
Very fun game! I love the way bots move and i love how they randomly appear as if another player joined. Boss was very unexpected but caught me off guard with that asthmatic laughter. Sadly i wanted to beat the game but as i was beating that boss the game crashed :( Overall a very fun entry but one thing i found annoying is that perspective is hard to get used to, i have no idea where i or enemy will land. Adding shadows to the very bottom of the object would've been infinitely more better :) But other than that no issues, controls felt very fluid. Well done!
Very interesting concept! I love the idea of hurting enemies with non-player bullets. I did find an exploit that makes the game kinda easy. Enemy tanks don't have collision which means you can just get inside those tanks and bullet will hit the other tank instantly. I obviously played properly which was pretty fun! I think there are too many details on the map and it makes it feel weird to try and see bullets that are small but damn if those details don't look nice.. you did an amazing job with art! Looks super pretty. I think all in all its a very great concept that you can definitely expand on in the future :) Keep it up!
The game seems very promising but i feel like the beginning is a little too slow, there are a lot of things you can do to make early phase fun :) Even player controller feels very slow and floaty (maybe it was just my FPS but it felt like it was going at good framearate) but that aside, art is very pretty and animations are very fluid, music is pretty relaxing but the sound effects overpowered music sometimes. All in all i think its a pretty great entry but it definitely has a huge room for improvement! Keep it up :)
@honey-pony First of all the dig speed is definitely slow even with a shovel, i think just in general increasing breaking speed wouldn't hurt the game at all as you aren't competing with anyone in early game. Secondly god damn it i'm having a hard time thinking of something, i feel like its on the edge of my mind but i can't get it out... its too late for this :^) In general tho i think CTF and Survival done in this way is difficult to work around. CTF is a kind of gamemode where both teams are given same rules, here clearly you are only one building but this is for a ludum dare, you still managed impressive amount of work in the given time but yeah, if i would go for that kind of game i would definitely try to make a bot that builds first :)
@honey-pony Nah, i'd like to not look at voxel based games as clones of Terraria/Minecraft :) And yeah, its very player/bot based game, in its current state the crafting bit feels a bit like a grind because in the end you spend your time in combat, not really marveling at your build if ya know what i mean like, you don't just go "Man, i wanna write bruh with dirt in this game"...
bruh.png
Okay don't question this bit.
You get what i mean at this point, the building part isn't utilized in capturing the flag that much :) (Also when breaking block instead of transparent there's a blue color so when you mine it looks like there's gonna be sky behind but in reality its dirt, looks goofy just wanted to say :^) )
Very interesting concept! It was simple but pretty fun. Sound design was also pretty satisfying, all in all pretty great entry! Well done :)
Pretty nice entry :) It was fun for what it is. I do wish turrets were a little bit stronger as they felt somewhat useless when players attacks were so much stronger. Enemy variety (at least from my gameplay, not sure if more come later, tried several times and only saw first aliens and slightly different colored alien) is very short, it would definitely increase the depth a lot more :) You could have aliens being distracted by towers but another alien type that just goes for you so turrets don't feel completely useless hahah. It was also hard to tell when i took damage as there was no indicator at all but the pixel art was fantastic and i didn't face any bugs, pretty polished :) All in all a pretty nice entry! Good job!
By backing up: 3.347 Normal way: 7.680
I actually had quite some fun with this one! The controls are quite close to Speedrunners at least from my memory, wall jumping works very well and its very fun to try and run around trying to beat your score. I think you can fix getting stuck on wall by making walls frictionless, that's what i used in my game and i never got stuck on a wall again after it :) Pretty fun entry! I think even doing a goofy quick asset of player drawn in paint would've been better than just a rectangle but that's just me hahah, hope you'll have more time for next jam!
I beat this game with a score of 5, I feel superior above the gods who have earned their status as the higher beings, the fact that this game exists is why the gods are not upset at us 10/10 would lose right above toilet again
As everyone has said, movement is really fluid and fun but i think the camera is too zoomed in, you kinda have to take it slow if you don't want to randomly crash into a damaging block because you were unable to see it quick enough. Had few bugs where i just died while no damaging blocks were in sight but once again, the controls felt really smooth and not once did i feel like it was clunky, well done :)
Really interesting entry! Visuals were top notch and it felt very nice to ominously float around with my keytar but DAMN i had a hard time figuring out how spells worked. There was a solid 5 minute of me trying to damage a pumpkin and corgi to no avail, trying every existing combination, had to refer to guide several times and still made no sense, did i break the game? :'^) Sounds played after spell casting really interfered with music playing which was kind of sad but in general the concept was very interesting and nicely made, i just kinda sucked with spell casting hahah
Really interesting idea! Execution was also done very nicely. Blocks falling feels very impactful, very nice choice of sound effects and screen shake. Soundtrack was hella lit especially when that tetris-like melody came along, very cool.
One downside is that moving around sometimes feels awkward but all in all still a really interesting entry!
@sn4pi Really glad you enjoyed the entry! Thank you very much :)
@jeremy-ryan Glad you enjoyed it! And on behalf of Masterpiece-o-Rater, I am terribly sorry that it didn't take that as a masterpiece, the code is truly flawed it seems and I will now shamefully smack myself in the head with my keyboard as a punishment.
@binary-coder @akai-0okami Thank you both! Glad you enjoyed our entry :)
@almax Hey glad you enjoyed it! You are right, staring contest might've been too hard for the first level but let's just count it off as an intentional design to subvert expectations for the rest of the game
@almost Glad you enjoyed it! You are right about the UI, it could definitely be more feedbacky :) Glad that you enjoyed the experience!
Just when I thought my life was in complete shambles and there was nothing else to live for... the screen lights up, engulfing my monitor with the words "NibbaQuest 2", is this it? Has the sequel to one of the finest games been released? Blimey, it was time to live again, remember why I was born in the first place, NibbaQuest offers highest caliber gameplay of any genre! Are you a fan of stealth? Sure go play stealthy, are you a fan of action games? just run around and alert all guards, are you a fan of battle royale? you get the loot gathering aspect of it, it's almost as if the clouds split wide open as i stood open in the stormy weather, god reached his hand down from the heavens and handed me the game himself.
10/10 the game managed the "Keep It Alive" aspect and I am the "It".
Simple game with very unique inventory mechanic. Well done on the entry! Also aesthetics are dank
Pretty fun game! Instructions kind of didn't make sense at first but through gameplay I understood it pretty quickly. It was really difficult but through optimizing my priorities I managed to beat the Normal one :) Well done on the entry! Also the player model is really adorable and that run animation is 10/10
23, I am king of the world. Very fun little game, well done on the entry and impressive that it was made in a custom engine!
A true masterpiece of our time. Ngl while there wasn't rly a gameplay, I like the visuals and audio so still good job on that!
This was awesome! The mechanic is very creative and the visuals and audio are simplistic and elegant, one of my favorite entries so far! Really well done on this entry! I managed to get 39 bones at best :^)
Very fun game! I didn't play this at 2 FPS at all
Very great entry! I really like the idea of moving the zone with your gun, it was interesting. I really liked the aesthetic too, it's amateurish but honestly I really love those kinda visuals so well done on that! Sounds were simple and did their job well without sounding annoying at all. Also 10/10 for that name. Well done, really fun entry!
10/10 Would snake again
Very fun experiment, had fun with my viewers, well done for managing a multiplayer game on LD!
Very fun short game! The sound effects were 10/10
Fun little game, minigames could be more interesting but the polish on those is very good, hope you will turn it into something bigger in the future!
Really nice take on a loop, might make you think about stuff :) Love the aesthetic a lot, visually and audio wise it's incredible! Well done on the entry :) May not be strong on the gameplay but it is very nice in every other aspect!
Very fun game with charming visuals and 10/10 best voice acting i've ever heard in the jam. Well done on the entry!
A really insanely polished game and an interesting approach to a card game formula. Very impressive job considering this was made in 3 days! The instructions were long though lol
@elemel Added it right now :) Hope it works!
@dank-nibba @loligxp @rickropes @melvinng @mariussomka @apfel @cargamoni @pleb2 @bocchi-dev Thank you all so much for amazing comments! This means a lot :)
@fabula-rasa I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you! As for colors, I am aware of its jarring effect and I'm sorry, it was intentional :D
@gonzalol Thank you! Yeah the game can be hard but you can dodge very frequently so with enough speed you can potentially do well :) But yeah, difficulty is very hard to balance on a gamejam especially when you are used to the controls. Thank you again!
@elemel Thank you so much! +Respect for the trackpad, true chad
@blotosaur Yeah I wanted to add indicator but not enough time :^) Thank you so much though! @roikku Thank you a lot! Really tried to make it at least unique :) @deathhound @fonics @nickzouk @exopunk Thank you all a ton! Those comments mean a lot!
@bob174 @magic-mike Thank you so much! I'm very glad you guys found it unique and entertaining :)
@duke I'm very glad you enjoyed it this much! I've been a dev for almost over a decade now and I just really wanted to make something that felt cool at the moment, I'm very glad you caught on that somehow :) I'm also really glad that you and many others seem to be catching on the end twist! I really thought people would just quit cause the dialogue started the same but it seems many people tried a few more dialogue lines. The Frooty Loops idea was a joke at first but the more I thought about it the more I fell in love with it, I haven't even tasted it, I don't even know what it's like, it all started as a stupid joke in my head lol. Thank you a lot and you're awesome for catching some interesting bits about this game like that :)
@nicozzard Thank you so much! I totally forgot to add that, I was in some weird zone trying to get this game finished and that totally slipped my mind, woops. But thanks a ton :)
@toccio94 Thank you! Its unfortunate you found it very difficult, it's very hard to balance a game for every skill level especially in mere 3 days. Also yeah the text getting smaller thing I didn't have time to fix unfortunately, thank you for pointing that out, glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought that was an issue. Thank you a lot!
@iaandrei Fast movement gang rise up. Thank you a lot! That's hilarious, you did end up being stuck in a loop it seems hahah, thank you a lot for playing it and especially twice!
@manusaiz I'm very glad you enjoyed it! I love how a decent amount of people compare it to wack-a-mole, that never crossed my mind hahah. Yeah I was actually planning ability to fight back the general (But you wouldn't see your fist unless you panic clicked, I wanted to see how many people would panic when at that part) but I unfortunately ran out of time :^) Thank you a ton!
@roidz Yeah sorry for that, I genuinely would've loved to add a difficulty mode but alas, the time was not enough. Thank you a lot for still enjoying it!
@foxlit Yeah I unfortunately get difficulty criticism a lot, can't help but make games that are difficult, I just like em like that :D Unfortunate you missed out on rest of the content but understandably so, Thank you a lot for playing it!
@balance686 Thank you a lot! I really tried to just let my creativity take over and based on what I see in the comments, it seems to be going well :) And yeah sorry I think hitboxes could be fixed.
@erikiene Thank you so much! It's an honor to have the mood compared to Cactusquid's work, he was an influence on me since his sandbox.yoyogames days :)
@heyycap I'm very glad you got hang of it and enjoyed it! Thank you!
@keyurrana Ah that's a good idea! Definitely didn't cross my mind. Thank you a lot!
@nocity Yeah audio was the last thing I did unfortunately, visuals were intentional though :) I really wanted to have that kind of feature when you click out of the bowl, I still did make it as smooth as I could, without the addition you had to PRECISELY click the loops otherwise you would not move at all, now you can click nearby and it works. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you!
@olima @aidanmarkham Thank you both a lot! I'm really glad you enjoyed those small additions like the salute section.
@tricky-fat-cat Yeah I should've made a bit of delay on that, that is my bad, but thank you a lot! Glad you found it ridiculous and fun :)
@arad-hamidsamiee Thank you a lot! @tricky-fat-cat lmao I'm glad :D
@trexxak Thank you a lot man! Glad you found it funny and interesting :)
@virtual-turtle-studio Thank you a lot and glad you enjoyed the writing! Yeah sorry for not ramping up the difficulty slowly, was too late when I realized my mistake hahah. The trick I'd say is to roughly get the timing down on their shots and teleport when they do shoot you :) Thank you a ton for the rating though!
One of the most interesting puzzle entries on the jam, visually awesome as well. Great job!
Very polished and fun simple game.
Simple and fun game, slightly confusing but managed to beat it all by myself
Incredible entry, aesthetically amazing and story is simple but great
Very cute aesthetically pleasing puzzle game.
Don't remember the score but this game is the best one i've played this jam
Really great entry! I really liked the visuals, very lovely. Sound design for the most part was really good, I just think footsteps were a little too loud and... weird. I did have a bit of a trouble at first and preferred to avoid combat but after I got the fireball it was actually really fun. The level design visually could be better I feel like? More landmark spots or whatever but this is a gamejam so I'm asking for too much there. All in all a really solid entry, well done!
Very fun entry, loved it thank you please add more cones. xoxoxo - Conean The Barbarian
@rhoka I'm glad you guys did! I had a great time having you guys there! I await for the secret road level which is ridden with cones
Dank game
This was really great! I like the small humorous bits, It had an interesting "story" progression. Visually and audio wise it was also really enjoyable. Well done on the entry!
Very fun game, this is very impressive that it's your first game! Keep it up
Hey, glad you guys took part in Ludum Dare and good luck on future ones! As for the game, it was pretty simple, nothing too flashy or innovative and it's fun as a short game but there definitely are spots you could improve in like having some form of feedback when enemies get hit, even a small particle will do. Another thing that I think would have been good is to have more enemies but a higher firing rate too, would have made things more fun in my opinion but other than those, well done on the entry and good luck in the future ones! Also please include instructions on top part, I couldn't figure out how to shoot until I saw it tucked on the very bottom :D
Best game ever, nothing went wrong whatsoever 10/10
I really loved the mood that it set! The sound effects fit perfectly into the environment and visuals are very simple but charming. The take on the theme was also really great, and in the end... I think I understood.
Very unique and really fun puzzle game, also aesthetically dank
This was a nice entry! I really liked the visuals, pretty consistent and the audio design was also really great (Doors closing made me laugh though, that was amazing, did you slam your hand on the table to record it?). I wish there was more stuff to do than unlocking doors, entering password and stabilizing ship though :) But all in all a great entry, well done!
This game made me want to commit japanese suicide ritual
The link aint working chief
Very interesting puzzle mechanics, love the somewhat cheap aesthetics and the puzzles are very interestingly designed, well done!
One of the most stylish games i've come across, really well done! It was really enjoyable
Very fun and interesting concept, you should definitely expand on this in the future!
Great simple platformer puzzle with great aesthetics!
Nice simple little entry with a pleasing aesthetic and audio! One thing that felt weird is that you had cooldown on arrow keys (Or maybe sound is what had cooldown, not sure) and at some point 2 arrows started coming in at once, not sure if this was intentional or a bug hahah. But still, well done on the entry :)
Really fun and unique puzzle game, I just wish it had a sound, well done on the entry!
Simple interesting platformer, wish the scrolling was a bit faster but the rest was pretty fun :)
So i barely understood what was happening but it was pretty cool nevertheless, i sadly couldn't change my name even after deleting game and re-downloading it so i just accidentally named myself "A". really cool idea and fact that this was done in few days is amazing! well done!
Pretty great entry! reminds me of Crypt of the Necrodancer just... more chill. well done!
Pretty fun simple little game. Mouse sensetivity was a little bit of an issue but nevertheless pretty good entry!
Interesting idea, never expected to see pacman in this type of game.. decent and something that isnt just "select everything and attack at once". great entry!
Amazing game with really great soundtrack and great gameplay mechanics.
I love the concept idea! pretty fun but controls feel little bit unresponsive... still pretty great entry, well done!
Awesome "battle royale" racing! well done people.
Pretty fun game, dialogues should be skippable imo.. not that its bad, just that it takes too long to get to next one :) pretty good entry!
Really fun game, well done and executed, bot is well made and its just pretty fun in general, nice job!
Very fun little addicting game. well done!
Wow, that was really fun! fluid controls and just good feeling when in combat overall... amazing!
Really funny concept with great pixel art style! Don't want to sound like i'm bragging but as a fast typer game ended really quickly, having difficulty levels (higher the difficulty, faster the words would come) would really be great! Really cute entry nevertheless :heart:
Pretty interesting.. animations could use some work as they feel too weak for what they do.
Awesome take on a MOBA genre, well done! you should work on this in the future.
Fun little relaxing game! until you see a lot of words coming below and ball is about to land.
Intro had me laughing for a bit, idea is cool, wasn't too much to show at the moment as you said but you should definitely work on the game!
So like... I'm not sure how to describe what i was doing, i sort of figured it out but it still felt confusing... visual and audio was pretty good. I'd say you should've given a visual tutorial because it sure was confusing as hell at first :smile: decent entry nevertheless
This is one of the coolest concepts i have seen in a while... work on it! it's really awesome!
Very unique idea, well combined together.. really interesting entry, well done!
Super fun and well made, polished game which is pretty addicting in its own sense! Love the music choice, sound effects and... everything. really great game, well done!
I don't know if its me but... i can't seem to get past 1st platform.. bullet delete doesn't seem to work, there's no doublejump so... am i doing anything wrong?
Welp. after messing with it for 5-10 minutes i want to say... character controler is insanely uncontrollable. Jump height is inconsistent.. still didn't land on the platform.. most jumps are so small that i can't even jump over the bullet.. sometimes my character DOES jump high but... i still somehow can't reach the platform because 1-2 pixel is blocking me... I would like to review this game but i just can't.. Visual is pretty good and audio is pretty good so you guys got that going :)
Masterpiece.
57.079s Slightly annoying with overheating but still pretty fun little game. nicely done!
Has a potential. It felt little annoying when i couldn't tell dead and alive enemies apart but it wasnt big of a deal :) I sadly couldn't beat it (im not that good at puzzles) but pretty good entry! Menu needs a bit of fixing aswell!
This is oddly great.. pretty unique! well done
Amazing entry, well done with the music, it was really fun to listen to!
Really really cool entry! Was pretty fun beating it but my lord could it use some visuals... it would up the experience a lot in my opinion... very cool game nevertheless!
This... this was an amazing experience. sound effects are absolutely minimalistic but satisfying and the whole thing is... oddly great. Well done!
Really pleasing visuals and sound.. feels really good to land each hit however it feels a little bit uncomfortable when my character completely stops for an attack.. no idea why. really good entry nevertheless!
@mainghia95 I can feel you on spiritual level with the whole "i wanted to but it caused bug" thing..
Really unique idea. at first it was pretty confusing but got used to it.. well done!
Pretty decent entry, would be good if it was faster and crafting was more clear IN the game and not on the webpage.
Really awesome entry! very unique and fun! Well done mate.
Really awesome idea, unique concept, beautiful graphics, fitting music and sound effects. you guys did amazing job.
@Bodaciouslycrazy Oh haha, its build mate! I just mentioned fact that the build also contains source code! Will definitely fix the way information is given. you can download and play it normally!
@CodeKoto Thanks a lot! yeah controls do take time to get used to a bit! @MoistGames You rock too!
@Albuquerque Thanks a lot for great words! I really wanted to work on the gun "juice" but.. as i mentioned i made this game in less than a day, at submission hour i was laying like a dead fish, unable to add anything :^) if i continue working on this project in future i will definitely keep the level thing in mind. Thanks a lot!
@pkenney Holy shit that was hell of a read.. thanks for the indepth suggestions! I do want to work on this game in the future (I will probably start in few days) and i REALLY love that 180 degree turn idea, really gives much more badass biker feel rather than "Ah yes, let me just back up, sloow and easy". Game does lack that feel part when it comes to hitting/getting hit.. time constraints.. I spent entire day working on this game (going out in market for some snacks was probably only break i took :^) ) and that's only thing i felt bad for not having.. feel. i essentially had this thing where enemies would be knocked away by shotgun blast upclose but it messed with AI a little bit (AI is physics based rather than waypoints n stuff) but now i realized i could've fixed it easily... I will definitely keep all those things you mentioned in mind and try to deliver as nicely as possible. My record is 5th Arena but.. probably because i played it so many times during development that i got used to some stuff, i love your approach to game - full man mode! That's how i played as well.
Thank you very much for the comment and i will be sure to work on this game as much as i can!
@BlazeXenon Yeah feedback is truly needed. i ran out of time on that one sadly but i will be sure to work on the game in future and improve on those stuff!
@multiplexor Glad you enjoyed the game! as i told person above, had no time for visual feedback sadly... thanks for the comment!
@Avon Im glad controls felt tight! there is technically no "first level". its same level but randomly generated but i can see what you mean, i will be sure to tune those stuff later on.
@croewens Im really glad you enjoyed the game! I will definitely check your game out tomorrow! Arena was pretty small, can agree, gunshots need to feel satisfying, i agree.
@Markus I found Offensive gameplay to be most rewarding (I got Arena 11 with full offensive gameplay and my friend got 12) but i deefinitely love the melee heal idea!! Local MP was something i had in mind! tell me... do you mean local as in... LAN or Local a.k.a couch MP? Thanks in advance!
@Geckoo1337 I spent a lot of time with old-school shooters aswell.. they are really inspiring all the time! Glad you enjoyed the game!
@Doc ill Thanks a lot! Will definitely add the volume management in the future!
@ketura Glad you enjoyed it! No idea where jousting part came in but its pretty cool you saw something like that in this game! lack of oomph was because i ran out of time... 24 hours is very short time to fully flesh out a game! I definitely will work on this game in the future, i got a lot of positive feedback so it would be a shame if i didn't work on it! also about GUI, i was sitting there with 1 eye open, craving for sleep while trying to round up the game so i went for simplest possible option haha.
@Wheffle I have given myself something i didn't know i wanted either \../ Thanks a lot! will absolutely try my best to improve upon this!
@Linus Glad you liked graphics! i guess i can try something to tune the first level for starters, thank you for recommendation!
@vkmicro Yeah, that's best i could get while mixing Vehicle and FPS shooters! Will try to lower difficulty in beginning, glad you liked the game!
@Elemental Zeal Game Studios Thanks a lot, hopefully will add good effects in future, thanks for playing and glad you had fun!
@Space_man Yeah balancing is sort of an issue, glad you like the concept!
@Rosik Health above 100 is meant to be like that, it rewards you for going through level without taking a damage so why not have that extra health? also thanks for telling me the sensitivity thing, never thought it would be an issue in that aspect, glad you told me that! :smile:
@Hare Software Thanks a lot, im glad you enjoyed it!
@Sfey Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked the entry :slight_smile:
@AnaGF Metalhead 4 lyf. Yeah control does take time to get used to but it kind of feels normal now that I've had to play with it a lot. I will definitely keep the arena size in mind, thanks a lot and I'm glad its one of your favorite entries!!
@SecretPocketCat Yep, controls are sort of odd but very easy once used to it, i tried to suit the Vehicle movement + FPS shooting together, was a difficult fit. Random/unfair spawns are awful for sure.. i will be releasing new version of game now that LD jam is over :) My record is 62 arenas :D
Really fun entry, loved the announcer, unique idea. gave it a perfect 5. well done!
Absoultely amazing, masterpiece, ooh so good.
Pretty cool idea, i do suck at puzzle games but it was still somewhat doable for me! Pretty interesting entry!
Really pleasing visuals, slightly confusing but good puzzles. solid animations.. well done!
10/10 michael jordan would be proud
Decently done, having an actual race would be pretty cool.. still well done!
Soo what can i say... idea is pretty good and deeefinitely has a potential.. however these were things i faced in beginning: Having no clue i could mine those walls by walking up to it and holding down right button... when i saw hand icon go up i was slightly confused... i was stuck in a maze trying to figure out what was going on... It would be great if level layout wasn't so confusing :) Killing drones was a fun way to get crystals, standing up a wall and holding down a button... not so much. Shooting was pretty simplistic and nice, throwing in more enemies to have something more to shoot at would be great. All in all... hopefully i didn't sound harsh but i really love idea and hope to see it improved in future!
It is what title says... Just relax. really fun and well made entry, love the floating mechanic, feels really nice to pull off those small clutch jumps. Its slightly annoying to wait for jump but its definitely great. Well done!
Pretty cute, honestly. Making the sandwiches felt pretty satisfying.. thought i had to reach limit, god knows how many sandwiches i made to see what would happen.
Nice entry. would be glad if looking around was done via mouse rather than left and right mouse buttons! Losing piano sound thing gave me a near heart attack (had sound a little bit too loud i guess) but sound design in general was still good. Graphics while simplistically charming.. would be good if it had some models :) Also not sure if the loading screen is "fake loading screen" or not but if it is then i'd really recommend not having fake loading screen... its much better for everyone! not that those few seconds changes anything but still. all in all, pretty good entry!
909 score. totally a mastapieecah.
Really fun concept! had fun for quite a bit. would be nice if gold was a bit bigger so it wouldnt feel awkward trying to grab it.. or maybe having small magnet-like function but nevertheless still a great entry!
Really interesting concept, love the small backstory of the "warrior".
Things i really liked:
- Visuals looked really nice.
- Firing and hitting enemies is satisfying.
- Loved effect when you rotated your mouse and "ammunition" sort of just rotates around.. really cool looking thing!
What i would change:
- Instead of having buttons that you have to press next to character it would be nice to have it next to cursor so you don't have to pause for a moment to look at what button you have to press.
- Slightly more variety with enemies.
- Sound obviously.
All in all, great game!
Sadly i was alone when trying this but tried it 1v1 against myself. loved the idea of random events on arena! Looped music could use some polish but other than that... really smooth and great game. Nice entry!
Wow... what an experience. Absolutely amazing, visuals were beautiful (characters looked a bit out of place with art compared to amazing world but its alright) and it felt nice exploring new things.. only thing i found something i had to fight back was controls themselves, sometimes i would see a person and just woosh past them at speed of light without able to brake... amazing entry nevertheless!
This is fucking awesome, i didn't know i wanted a game like this... until i played this.
Plays super smoothly and is absolutely satisfying, you should definitely continue working on this game! Also, bake the light correctly, there seems to be 1 small error on top :smile:
Pretty simple and fun, visually looks great and controls pretty simply! bomb blast is slightly unpredictable.. sometimes you might have no ground below you, sometimes you might but nevertheless.. still pretty good!
I beat the game at 19 seconds left, loved the simplicity of it! pretty goofy little experience. nice job! what i would recommend for simplest physic optimization is having 1 huge sphere object attached to your player thats a trigger, give every physics object a script where if they are out of the sphere rigidbody turns kinematic.. great entry!
Pretty fun game, well executed... small bug when bringing out and selecting cards but its just visual nothing much. love the concept and models! For some reason optimization is needed? My computer just started roaring as i launched the game but... was pretty fun anyway!
Really goofy game, too dark at few spots but its totally fine, physics are a bit wonky but i guess it fits the goofy gameplay. really funny and nice entry!
Really fun concept, simple gameplay, great visuals and nice music. Great entry!
