Loved the art and sound effects in this little management/fnaf/I'm sure there's a technical genre name for this game. Gets surprisingly hard towards the end but I'm also a bit uncoordinated with these kind of games. I can only hope Chuck gets many sleepy nights in the future. Great job!
Really nice little puzzler, I didn't mind the sprites at all and found them quite charming, it did take me a little bit to notice the difference in pushable blocks and the lens distortion effect was a little bit disorienting to me but otherwise fine. Definitely think it should push you back to the start of the level when you die instead of the start of the game, maybe having a "Reset run" button to go back to the beginning for speedrun's sake. Regardless I still had fun with it and think you did a good job!
Absolutely adore the art and general aesthetic. The controls were a little bit clunky and the rolling sometimes felt unresponsive but still a great game.
The models and sound effects were perfect imho, very chill experience. In all honesty might have even been better if there was no fail state and you could just chill and catch the fish.
This is weird as all hell and I love it. Definitely checking back at the end with this.
@eboatwright That's unfortunate, maybe another browser might work better? Unity's web builds are really weird and sometimes break for people for weird reasons that are hard to anticipate.
@pixlark @osterzone @northerndonut @haydads @glitchman @goodwincek @kirbloid @famicon80 @ambeurk @saintchristopher777 - thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the game!
@valid @eugenik @jlmast @kraemahz Thank you all for your comments, I'm glad you liked the game!
@yngvarr I'm so glad you had a great time with the game. I think those suggestions are all pretty good ideas and I'll play around with some stuff on my local build and then consider uploading an improved edition after the rating period is over. Unlikely anyone will actually play it at that stage but always best to have the best thing possible out there for people to see just in case. Thanks again and it was great to watch a video of someone else playing, I was fortunate enough to get some playtest feedback from friends before the deadline but that video is the first footage of a stranger playing I've seen and it makes me very happy!
Concept is really interesting , sentiment analysis stuff is great for this kind of thing. Felt a bit inconsistent to me even when I was trying to win but I imagine once you "get" it it becomes easier. Would be really cool if this had a two player mode where the person who gets closest in terms of sentiment wins.
Always love a good golf game and the transitions between levels in this one were really satisfying
You've got the bones of a really satisfying movement system here, would love to see it fleshed out in a destruction based platformer of some kind.
I'd love to see more development of this concept, intentionally milling yourself out in the most efficient way possible seems like a great concept for a card game. A bit more tutorializing about mechanics and some nice card sound effects would be great additions. Overall still really liked it.
Absolutely amazing, I won't spoil it for anyone reading but I loved the art, music and the narrative, plus the UI was slick. Thanks for making this!
oh man I got snaked
Nice little game! The falling animation was super cute and the art in general was just really nice. The combat definitely need a bit more polish because it's quite hard to tell whether or not you'll hit an enemy or if you've even done damage, but overall I had fun.
Oh... God...
Thank you for making the un-"stable" pun come to life, I was not brave enough to go for it
I absolutely love this concept and had a bunch of fun playing it. I almost think it would work better without the lives system as just a kind of child, 3d cookie clicker with spinning tops
Fun little game, enjoyed the light tone and the hectic balancing. The keybindings were a little too awkward but otherwise a good time
Movement mechanic turned it into almost a drifting game which was really interesting and could make for great speedrunning play. Some of the turns were a bit too tight but otherwise I think there's a core of a really good game here!
Thanks to everyone who's played our game so far! I think I've identified the issue with dropping things into the cauldron sometimes, the drop won't get registered properly if you're inside the drop hitbox when you hit drop. It's an unfortunate bug that we should have caught but for the benefit of anyone playing it for the first time it's a good idea to drop things into the cauldron from a bit of height above it. Thanks to everyone again!
Reminds me a lot of One Finger Death Punch but with more freeform movement. Had a fun time with it
This is a cool little word game, the ding and spin when you get a word right is very satisfying, well done!
This was a neat little puzzle game. I really like redirecting the fire with doors as a mechanic and telegraphing where will be hit by it beforehand helps to reduce any potential frustration if you get hit.
lol this is mental, I love it
It would be nice to have a wider view of the scientists as has been said but I am a big fan of the effect you've accomplished with the sprites. You definitely accomplished the Commodore 64 look.
Absolutely love the art in this
There's a really cool concept in a crypt of the necrodancer esque game but the song changes regularly. I think a lot of the movement would feel less jarring if there was a smooth animation between squares, currently it feels more like you teleport to the beat which fits an old school Rogue feel but made it really hard to re-orient yourself and follow the beat. Had fun with it though.
A really cute game. You'd definitely benefit from some kind of sound effects for picking up/placing pumpkins and casting spells. The art is stellar though.
I think this game is great fun and I love the concept of digging for materials to build turrets beneath your base. I don't think the game is necessarily *too hard* but I do think it's far too easy to just die within the first wave if you're trying to figure out what's going on. Once I knew what I was doing I was able to beat the game fine, but a little more leeway to get yourself established would be good.
makes u think
The art is absolutely amazing
