Amazing game, definitely feel the F-Zero inspiration! Some suggestions: - Make the music a bit louder, I could barely hear it over the car engine. - The camera feels a bit weird. There were times where I couldn't see what was coming up at all.
This is great. I absolutely love the Pokémon look, it would've been even better if you used a palette like Pokémon Blue / Red did. The colors of the rods and the fish feel kind of out of place. But that's just my personal opinion, ignore if you don't agree. Really great game!
Not much too say other than that it is a great game! A little difficult at times, but certainly a lot of fun!
Very impressive that you made this in just 48 hours. I get that one of your genres is *Farming*, but what's the second genre? It just feels like a generic farming simulator, but with bunnies instead. I found the game pretty confusing at first, controls aren't really explained well and in a right way. It does have some good gameplay once you get the hang of it. *The bobbing of the character got quite annoying after a while...* 6/10 - I can shoot the ducks.
Fun concept, I had fun unlocking the items by trying different combinations. It's pretty annoying that the newly crafted items don't appear in you inventory right away, I often forgot to drag them to my inventory myself. The pixel-art is nice, but overall the game looks pretty bland. Also, not all combinations made a lot of sense to me, resulting in a lot of trial-and-error of mindlessly trying different combinations until something happened. It's a nice game, but it definitely needs some polishing.
It might just be me, but I feel like the notes aren't synced up very well to the music. Other than that, great game! Just needs some more polishing.
Took me some thime to figure out what exactly I was doing, but other than that a really fun game
The game is true to it's name, it's really boring. It doesn't feel like I'm doing anything other than clicking on the slime. The RPG element is just not really there, stats feel almost completely useless. The shop also really confuses me. What does the upgrade do? It just says "upgrade", how am I supposed to know what it actually does.
Really hoped to see something interesting happen, but gave up after I got to level 5.
Great game, love the art style!
Great game! Though I feel like the rhythm sections were a bit sloppy, a bit of a delay before you have to hit the notes would already make it a lot better. Also not a big fan of the noise in the soundtrack, it's a bit too loud.
My factory spawned units on a place where they couldn't get away, rendering them useless. Overall a really fun game. Music is among the best I've heard so far!
Got a 48.674 on my first try. Really fun game, the time system adds some replayability to this game! The letters are a little fast in the Compo version, though it wasn't too fast.
I'm personally not really a fan of the menu music, but that's just taste I guess.
Something that I'm really not happy with, are the tutorial screens. I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of text thrown at me. It's better to introduce the controls to the player in such a way that you only have to give a minimal amount of explanation, that's something you could think about for your next project.
I mean... It's something. 7/10 too much pixels.
Love the pixel-art, the hammer looks really cute. I also like the combination of themes. Music was amazing too. Some critique:
As soon as I started the game, I was greeted by a welcome screen explaining the controls. This gave me a very bad first impression. Besides, the tutorial level already explained the controls in a fun interactive way.
One of the main points of this game is the Physics mechanic. I really enjoyed ground pounding to gain extra height. But overall, the movement felt wonky, especially moving horizontally in the air. It just felt really awkward.
And then I fell off the map. I expected to respawn at the beginning of the level, but instead I kept falling forever. From according to the description of your submission, I can assume that you knew about this: ```"...while avoiding falling into the endless void lying below all known reality."``` If this is a design choice, it is a really bad design choice. Honestly, go add a death plane.
Please don't be discouraged by all these negative things, there were a lot of things I liked about this submission. Just felt the need to point these things out.
Those graphics are amazing! It's pretty boring without any music, though. Also don't really agree with the hitboxes of the bullets, kept getting hit while still shooting it back at the same time. The screenshake is also a bit too much.
Really like the idea of the two genres. But it's not well executed. I managed to beat the game without cooking at all, and the stealth mechanics are really easy to cheese.
I did really like the look of the game. The only downside is probably the dark text over a dark background, it doesn't really work that well.
Also: "Hey, you weirdough" was amazing.
The graphics are the best I've seen so far. Doesn't really feel like a rhythm game, though. Mostly because only the enemies really do something with the rhythm, from the player's perspective it's just a generic Shoot-'em-Up. Had a blast playing!
I really like the way the controls were implemented, works really well. In-game graphics are really good too. Some criticism: * The invisible border is pretty annoying * Levels don't really seem to do anything except for increase the player's health * The hitbox of the player is like 7 elephants big. I kept getting hit when I was nowhere near the enemy. * It's really really short Could be a really fun game if you worked on it some more. 👍
Had a lot of fun playing this, love the mix of different genres. The WebGL version has quite some visual bugs, though. I don't know about the Windows version, as I didn't play it.
I don't really get the Bullet Hell level, it was just a bunch of enemies chasing the puck. Also, the Breakout level had horrible controls.
Overall a really solid entry.
Fun concept! The game sadly feels really unpolished. Nothing is explained in-game, which is a shame. Also, the steering is really bad if you don't know about the yellow-beat thingy.
Props for going 3D, you don't see that a lot. And the soundtrack was amazing!
I love it. Had a lot of fun playing this. Wish it were longer though. Oh well, you can only make so many level in 48 hours. Would love to see a full version!
Great game! Had lots of fun!
Love the music, fits perfectly with the name of the game.
The game itself looks decent and the idea is pretty good. But I didn't really like the excecution. The level design is not very good and the controls are just bad. I suggest using the arrows keys to move and using keys like Z,X,C etc. for actions. Also encountered quite some game-breaking glitches while playing, I kept falling trough the floor in level 4.
Really wish the excecution was better, cause the concept is really good.
This dragon is cheating. Spend 10 minutes trying to win a single round, which of course didn't happen. Loved the random voice acting.
Took me a while to get a hang of the controls, moving the rod feels a bit too sensitive to me. I feel like the horror aspect is kind of absent, or at least it doesn't really give me any horror vibes. But that's just my opinion. Really nice game! The world needs more good PICO-8 games, like this one.
It's not a bad game, but it could've been a lot better. I like the general concept of the game, you could make something really fun out of it. Some critique: * Game window is really small, could use a fullscreen mode * Intro text is way too long * I don't get why we're playing as an eye, it doesn't really make sense * The hitboxes are janky.
Not bad for a beginner game, here's some feedback Why does the color of the ground eventually change to the same color as the background? If intentional, that's a really weird design choice. The game feels really empty, as the player you don't do a whole lot and the levels are over in a flash. The music sounds funky, but it is too short. Try to make a longer track with variation next time. And what are your themes/genres? Also, the game kept crashing on me, something with the position of the AudioListener.
Great concept, really fits the theme. I love the idea of a classic dad joke being evolved into a horror game.
I found it quite annoying that I couldn't make the words I wanted. The game kept giving me points for two letter words when I wanted to make longer words. Having to reload the webpage after a death is also really weird.
The game has potential, but is currently too unpolished.
Nice idea, but it gets a bit boring after a while. If it had some more features, it could work really well as a mobile game!
23-4-2018 16:45 Update Bugfix which should enable macOS users to start the game. Also, balancing cause the game was too hard.
Very cool concept, really like the graphics too. It's too hard for me though, or I'm just bad. Anyway, it can be really tedious to click the cars sometimes, especially on the larger levels where the camera is zoomed out.
