I really liked the concept and the abilitys of your party. The easy controls made it easy to get involved into the game. And the art style was fitting the game pretty good 🖌️. It takes a bit of time to realize the mechanics, but everytime you find out about how one of the abilities works, you get a new boost of motivation. Great game 👍 Reminded me a bit of Magic the Gathering 😉.
Nice game with so many interesting concepts. Can't believe you did this in 72 hours! It's this kind of game where you have no idea what you are doing, but it's fun because you are getting food and funny answers of the doctor. Enjoyed playing it.
Interesting mechanic that you have one resource you use for pretty much everything! Graphics and SFX are cool, too!
Feeling like in a classic Sci-Fi anime! Getting the licenses was a bit hard, but overall a fun game. It would be really cool if you could automate the shipping assignments from early on in the game. Overall a pretty complex game you could spend hours with 👍
The game is great in delivering the feel of being powerful and huge. I like the screen-shaking effect when the player "walks" over the ground ;) Cover art is enormous!
Cool game with interesting mechanics and a beautiful download page. I wasn't able to understand the complex mechanics of your game totally, but the stuff I got was so cool! Liked this cool Dwarf Fortress style I haven't seen for long! Great game 👍
Really didn't think I would finish it, but I managed it though. Nice game with a incredible mood, a camera follow that makes you really ingage with the small character 🦂. It's a bit spooky sometimes, but I enjoyed the Atmosphere so much. That it starts to rain in the end of the game is such a cool technique. Love the greek-styel too (you'll probably know it from playing my game 😉). The friend I made the game with is really into Elden Ring. I didn't play it, but I suppose there's inspiration? 🙃 Keep up your good work! Even the bugs were fun.Screenshot 2024-10-10 215914.png
The thing I like most is the mood! You did a really good job delivering the feeling of having demons behind you wanting to kill you! And the sound effects are great.
It's the very first game I played in this jam which had some humor in it ;)
Really loved the voice acting! So much humor and fun listening to funghus! Sometimes, it was a bit hard to figure out in which direction to walk, so sings in which direktion something is would have been very helpful. But the game made you really want to go for a walk instead of staying inside and playing games, so yeah, good job 👍
Beautiful game! Its really interesting that you don't have to kill people, you just have to scare them! It's so cool when you are mightful and a cute animated rat at a time. Didn't experience any bugs so far.
The waypoint system is great and easy to get into. I liked the art, too. Nice little game 😊
(Response to @janinna21) I actually tried to fix that problem, but as I mostly drew the art for the game, I wasn't able to understand my friends code 😉. But I totally get your point.
(Response to @t-c) You're totally right. In the end, we ran out of time for polishing, so some stuff is a bit buggy. Thanks for playing!
@floata3 @kutase @wouterk12 Thanks for playing our game 🙏! We'll try to save us time for polishing in the next Ludum Dare. It's our very first one, so we didn't even expect so much response to our game. So it's cool you found some time for trying it out 👍
@ethernal-tech @someone @slay-a-stone Thanks for your feedback. You're totally right about the controls, after the game was released, we sometimes literally bit on our tongues because of that (what was even the control for doing this 😂?). I hope you had some fun though.
@p0l4r Thanks for playing. The aspects of your feedback could all be found in the other comments, which shows us how important they are: - Pickaxe makes you fly - Too long cooldown of the gravity ball - Pickaxe is useless most of the time - Hard controls (although this wasn't mentioned by you)
The frequence of the feedback is helping us a lot, so we are happy about any we get. Keep up your good feedback!
@teddyreid @pimping Thanks for your comments. Happy you appreciate the artwork.
@teddyreid All your ideas are great, and I like the gamepad idea very much. I actually saw a gamepad tutorial for unity recently, and I think it would be a really fun idea to set up. So yeah, we'll think of it the next Ludum Dare!
Wow, this game made me think of one of the most tedious tasks in a life in a totally new way! The bad performance of my pc made it hard for me to play, but I enjoyed it though. Good game!
Really satisfying mechanics! Nice prototype which could - some more features added - get a very successful game. But I think sound effects would have improved the game even more! Overall a fun experience 👍
I have a few things to say. First, the level design is great. It's easy enough to get into, but hard enough to be a real challenge. The art and music are fitting together perfectly to create this middle age feeling. Music and SFX were great. I liked the leaderboard too - it makes you want to play the game again and again, even if the levels are procedurally generated. The UI desing was great and really reminded me of old book pages. Ink system is great - the combination of life resource and summoning at the same time made you able to concentrate on one figure and not to check them all. Really liked the enemy design - for example the eyes. In the beginning, you don't know how to pass them, but as far as you know how they act, you can make up techniques to avoid them. Beautiful levels too. Liked the diagonal perspective, which reminded me of old isometric RPGs. Overall, you did a great job. One of the best games I ever played in LD (I'm pretty new to the jam, but I already played a lot of games, too. Keep up your good work!
It is very simple but fun though. I just think an increase of the difficulty over time would add a lot to the game.
Nice game! Didn't really know what to do in single player mode, but placing bombs and seeing their destruction was fun though. But some easier controls would have been really great, because I placed some bombs at the wrong characters and couldn't make them run away, because I had to totally change my hands positions over the whole keyboard. Good game though you can spend a bit of time trying stuff out!
Fun little game. I liked it!
