Deceptively fun. Took me a while to figure out I could double tap the arm buttons for more power, but I do risk knocking the phone out of the gameplay screen and losing it! LOL at the concept and the execution, great job. Also, I'm really impressed you added a working leaderboard! Once I read thru the comments I had to get inf.
The buttons to place buildings didn't work so well in fullscreen. I love the intro sequence! The visuals and sound is nice. Controls are responsive. Gameplay feels very unbalanced, I ended up making tons of hamster power until I had enough to spam cannons as fast as I could click, but I was never sure how much effect the cannons had, and didn't know if my base was surviving once I walked away. I had to place so many buildings it felt more like spamming than strategy once I figured it out. Not sure how, but it would be nice if you made each individual building matter more. Great work, especially for the compo!
Fun: 0/5 stars D:< JK this was an amazing entry!
This music is so catchy. After playing the game I left the tab open, the loop didn't really get old :) The most fun part is mastering the controls, jumps become secondary once you get the hang of it. Very neat game!
@sanjo Use 7-Zip to uncompress the files. (if you don't have it, I highly recommend it) Just added a .Zip build too! Try that.
@limered Thank you for the feedback! I definitely did not test in Ultrawide, I'll keep that in mind for the future.
Very fun little game :) It was a good challenge getting to the point where it was infinitely sustainable and I didn't have to shoot any princes myself. I love the intro screen too, makes it feel like an authentic retro PC game! Very good idea making the princess wand to supplement the towers, and it's very useful that it's guided. Very satisfying to shoot those guys! The story is fun, only critique I have is maybe you should have put the story text at the beginning of the game instead of just in the description below. Edit: I broke wave 100 :) image_2022-10-22_191448645.png
Simply Amazing! In my first run through, I noticed the great level design-- the game really does guide you through itself in a way that feels very natural. I want to show it to my friend because of the cute animations in the first half, and the story is a creative and funny take on this theme. I had to use headphones to more easily locate all the clocks in 3rd part. Best game I have played out of this jam so far. Replaying it to try and find the exit after reading these comments, and I also love how optimized the game feels for speedruns!
Quite a fun game! I especially love how responsive the controls are, and how polished the UI is.
I'm not really sure what happens when 10 seconds runs out. Another demon spawns maybe? Neat gameplay loop though, very fast & fun to try again and try to get a higher score. I actually thought the restricted view area was a cool feature, makes it more alarming when the demons show up :)
Neat idea! Like others, it took me a while to figure it all out. A few critiques: - A Sound for moving while unobstructed would be helpful. At first, I thought "Wall" meant I actually moved, then eventually realized "my piece isn't going anywhere when he says that, but sometimes goes somewhere when he doesn't. Sound design is very fun! - Part of the above is that I thought chests pickups for bonus points, so I kept trying to plan my route to walk over chests. Whoops! - It would be nice to have a quick way to end this countdown
Overall very polished for a jam game, I'm impressed! You even have game options and I like the wavy buttons.
Very funny game! Personally I wish the difficulty would accelerate a little faster. I got to level 11 and I was like "does this ever end?" I would say something about the glitch where biscuits fly off the conveyer and into humans' mouths, but all I really want to say is it's the funniest and most satisfying part of the game 😂
IT would be really nice to have a countdown for when things are gonna switch! Took me a few switches to realize what was happening, I thought combat was busted. Add some animated particles or something to show the hit zones, and shorten the delay, it's so frustrating when you're shooting and can't move :P The art was great for the still images, especially the stage backgrounds. The animations could use work, especially on perspective. That's your first game? Great start! Feels like you had fun making it. I look forward to seeing how you all improve
The tile building system is soooo nice! The music and art are fun, so the simple act of playing the game is fun. Now trying to accomplish the goal? It's hilariously convoluted, which makes the "take the money and run" button very appropriate!
And then I realized I could make one bus route connecting all the stops. That's why they pay me the big bucks $$$ Only downside is people have to wait a long time, just like real buses.
Another thing: For some reason, the game started me zoomed all the way in, I couldn't see enough of the map to connect almost any stops or even read the labels, so it was kind unplayable. I mouse wheeled down, which zooms out on most things, and nothing happened. Took me an embarassingly long time to figure out I had to mouse wheel UP to zoom out, opposite of most zooming in apps :P
Sick! Concept is great, execution is spot-on! Somehow I glitched thru the final level, didn't hit one of the buttons in my last life, but my man went thru the door anyway and won. It was a very hard level anyway, so I'll take it :)
Extremely good! Definitely gotta line up on those buttons before it starts. Atmosphere was amazing, I wanted to spend more time doing more things in this game tbh. I wish there was a time regen from getting correct patterns, I'm too slow to last more than 3 rounds :P
I got a score of 5 Instructions were unclear. I realize they are spelled out on the top and bottom of the package code sheet, but I think it would be helpful to ALSO put that in the Controls section. Definitely a frantic game!
LOL feels like my graphics card is gonna go extinct when I lose. Rough around the edges, but overall it was really fun in a cheesy way. I loved the ending.
