Hey chatted with you a little already, but wanted to put some more here:
Overall this was an awesome experience, definitely not your typical game. Audio and visuals were well done. Great job you guys!
Glad I got to play this for you live on stream! Really like the audio and intro, it made the game feel polished. I think you have a foundation for something great here! As others have said it gets hard pretty quick, so some balancing is needed, but for a Ludum Dare game I certainly don't expect perfect balance. Nice job!
Cool idea--this definitely fits the theme! It seemed like the betting component didn't matter too much for your score? Also I didn't seem to be able to choose to double-down or split. I'd say you nailed the music! I'm curious what you used to make it? It was fun to jam to and I could easily feel the beat. Overall nice entry @Acuity!
I like the color/visual effect :)
Hey thanks for submitting this to my stream :) I like the genres you've combined, it was fun to play and made you think tactically before making moves. One thing that was frustrating was I'd end up moving when I meant to aim which caused me to lose lives when I shouldn't have. One simple fix that comes to mind is putting the aim action on the other mouse button. Nice work overall!
This was a nice experience. Like others said it maybe wasn't your typical "game", but the mood was spot on! When the first few people started getting shot you definitely felt the rush and couldn't help but wonder "am I next?". I like a lot of Stephen King's books so I'm going to have to add this to my reading list. The user generated content was an awesome addition and got a few laughs from me. Great work!
Hey glad I was able to play this for you live on stream! I like the custom shader with the outline :)
@rjhelms Thanks for the feedback! I would agree--moving doesn't help much, if at all. During development I tried moving to different angles or side stepping to move from far left to far right targets easier, but eventually found myself going back to the standing still strategy.
Also that is an awesome idea for the hat. I should put a quick update to allow for that :joy:
@niterich Thanks for the feedback! After watching several different people play the game I have noticed some players tending to rush the beat or shoot lower (where the target is about to go red). I have also heard others say they have potential issues with mouse input lag.
With this, I have definitely learned something about future game development projects: **Get other people to play the game ASAP!**
I found that over the LD weekend, I got to play my game a lot, and as a result I got really good at it. But the experience might not have been the same for all players and all hardware. I wish I took time to send the game out to a few friends to receive early feedback and advice.
Love the music! Nice work!
Hey, glad I got to play this for you on stream! This was definitely a fun game and thought the way you dealt killing blow to puzzle pieces was an interesting mechanic. I felt I had too many coins even with reloading, so maybe there is a way to balance that or consider alternatives to how ammo works. Finally, awesome job on the music, it looped well, wasn't distracting, and added to the overall experience :)
Nice job! Took me a while to figure out you can only push the 2x1 block on one axis. I think it may be nice to have a way to reset the guard after he sees you. Right now you can run away but doesn't really help unless you already unlocked the exit.
