LD38 — A Small World

Super Snowman Spider Showdown Supreme by TheClintHennesy 2017-05-01T20:59:40Z

As mentioned before by, since I don't know whether or not (or how?) you can actually rotate the camera around it would be great to include a tutorial screen for that. For the gameplay part of things, it's getting hard quite fast with the long cooldown you have on your carrots - maybe a secondary + primary attack would help smoothen things out?

With that out of the way, the game looks impressive. It's a nice, solid idea with a very pretty art style. Although a bit short because of the increase in challenge very early on, it doesn't punish you and encourages to retry again and again. Bonus for adding an option screen as well :)

@itzhak-w Thanks a lot! Great work with your game as well :)

@astrkl: Thank you! The game is actually supposed to be quite hard. Once you get the hang of it you will know what to do quite quickly though (which is to build a mass of turrets i guess). Since it's such a fast-paced game I didn't want to ruin the experience by killing the player whenever they fall down, and instead put them right back into the action. You can actually use this as a move to quickly get back to your base when you're far out and see that your base gets damaged.

Great job making it to wave 17 as well, sadly I only coded in 5 waves in an infinite loop (even though they multiply) and didn't have the time to balance the gameplay itself.

Cheers!

@Rahtainka Thanks! As stated in your stream, for a later version I'll probably include an item that can heal in one of the crates dropped by bosses or something.

@schichtel Thank you for playing as well! Don't know why the browser version gets laggy, but it's probably because I didn't do any performance optimizations (no pooling whatsoever). Initially the PostFX and text shaders also produced some weird pink screen/quad issues, the download version even includes shadows. The endgame is kind of lame as I didn't have the time to balance the gameplay, add more enemies etc. This is something I'll definitely work on when continuing this project!

@TheClintHennesy Thanks for taking your time :) You got it exactly as I intended it to be - you have to keep your enemies close to expand. Which is why the vacuum exists and is quite hard to get initially. Since this is a compo entry I had to do everything by hand, so all code, art and audio has been done by me (sfx and "music" done in BFXR + Ableton Live). For the technical side of things I went with a vertex color shader as I didn't have the time to UV unwrap and paint everything. Definitely a trick I can recommend for everyone doing 3D game jam games!

Nice little game with lots of humor. Very addiciting within the first few seconds. The only problem I had was clicking on the things as fast as possible, maybe increase their "hitbox" a tiny bit so it's easier to reach?

Schroedingers Snack Cart by spaceemotion 2024-10-07T21:51:46Z

We can't seem to be able to edit the description, so here are known bugs: - When the inventory becomes empty the game may crash - The windows version runs in full screen mode without a way to exit - use ALT+F4
