it's fun to decide against a costume that you don't think you can pull in time. if there are any "but"s to the game is getting stuck on corners, but it's very minor problem. the random character sprites are a nice touch
controller support is greatly appreciated. very fun concept, i like how the report text adapts to the stats for completion's sake, i tried with keyboard as well. while it is more restrictive, it's not a problem in the game, i even got a better score than with a joystick.
the mechanics were a really nice surprise. going for a second playthrough and getting new events is a nice detail.
very nice graphics!. i got out of bounds a couple times trying to find new memories but the concept is really nice.
Nice for people who really like challenges. for me, the punishing level and floaty controls are a bit much.
this one's a keeper. it feel a lot like a full fledged out game. i was already convinced and after the 4th restart i decided to check the help menu and realised i was missing out on secret rooms. congratulations to the whole team. in a sort of bug report, i tried to go full screen and got portions of the game over different displays. but it absolutely did not take away from my enjoyment
models and level layout feel nice, but it's a bit empty with how few enemies i got
can't wait to see the results after a good number of people played this game. i feel like i cheated somebody when i misunderstand a phrase but manage to decode it anyway.
@torh it's only on itch.io at the moment, but we'll try and upload a copy shortly. thank you for considering us!
@aguahervida @endymion the game does have a win condition! it's a bit hard to just stumble upon it so we updated the description to reveal it. basically: manage your fire and timing so the warriors have time to heal and kill all monsters.
@torh the game is now also available on indiexpo. https://www.indiexpo.net/en/games/embershrooms
thanks everyone for the nice comments so far :smile:
i got very close to the end of the second screen. but can't for the life of me achieve that again. It's definetly not a bad game, just could have used a little less difficulty or a checkpoint.
simple and well rounded. it's fun to try and make a path through the chaos
it's a very fun challenge to limit the times you can look at the map while trying to remember and adapt your route. it took me a second to realize the charging buildings had to be interacted with. but overall a smooth experience
its a nice management idea. the controls however hold it back a lot. playing with mouse, the cursor lags behind the mouse so you have to click and release constantly to get it anywhere :/ (may be a bug?)
played the web version. could just be me but it seems the people come closer together than in the demo video
fun sort of math-y game. once you get the hang of it, it just takes a minute to find the winning combination. i like that you get a different vegetable knight depending on what you cooked, i wonder how many there are.
got some of the achievements but couldnt figure out all of them. the sounds when picking up fire where funny at first but made me not want to experiment all that much with fire
very nice pixel art! although the urgency from the bugs doesn't really let you go around the farm much. i imagine adjusting the spawn times and a bit of feedback when you pick up an item would be nice improvement
the game looks very nice! (unfortunately i dont have a windows machine to try it on :c) please tag me if it becomes available on other platforms :sweat_smile:
nice puzzle! keeping track of the monsters to stay safe and planning for the next color change is a fun thing to juggle
i had to edit the divs in order to get all elements on screen, for some reason it seemed to start half a screen above. couple things id consider changing - keep the palette visible instead of using a cycle button, it's a bit cumbersome choosing the tile you mean to use. - seeing the next tile color in a big square is more attention grabbing than the current tile color on the cursor, i sometimes mixed up which tile i had active - some kind of feedback as to which tile had an effect on a changing tile would be welcome, its too hard to make sense of it without the spoilers
hope im not being too negative :sweat_smile: i think i like the idea you were going for
itchio link seems to be broken :(
played it now that the link is fixed. has a couple bugs (mouse is not captured so i cant freely look around, also fell off the planet) but i like the animations and the carrot person model
it was a nice surprise that boarding ships was it's own play mode. didn't get too far sadly as the game froze when i tried boarding a large ship
i got up to 2435! its a fun puzzle. only two things i had issues with is that since the tile you pick remains on the bar you can get confused and think you have one more tile of the type. and it seems all tiles play the claim sound at the same time which results in a very loud sound.
@pengu123 it does not. there might be times where there is no way to avoid a plant being downgraded or withering, you just have to pick the lesser evil in those scenarios :stuck_out_tongue:
fun game to play. but by the way the enemies walk towards you, they cover up the loot and you get a shorter window of time to grab your items before it becoming. had a second playthrough with that in mind and did pretty well! up to day 14
i really like the ghost's sprite and attack animation, its very nice. some visual feedback when you get hit or when you hit an enemy would be a good improvement (mostly for the melee attack)
cute game! the shooting speed can feel a bit dragged but it's overall fun
i thought i'd gotten the hang of it and my second run was a lot shorter than the first :laughing: fun game, it might feel a bit unfair at times as a wrong piece will completely wreck any sort of order you had going, but thats just something that happens with chances
maybe im just very bad at it, but i cant seem to catch up on followers, behind by many zeros. fun narrative nevertheless
an incredibly well rounded game! i'd say for a game jam, but even without taking into account the time and resource limitations it's a very fun and complete looking game. it reminds me of old browser games like the ones you'd find on cartoon network's website it seems great for couch play or a party game. congratulations all around!
love how it looks when you do all actions in sequence, moving side to side, it's quite cartoony. unsure if it's a bug or meant to happen, but if you take too long to harvest a plant it drops its seeds on it's own and leave the tile in an unusable state
interesting mechanic. it took me a second to understand that the diagonally moving plants would alternate directions. you might want to opt-out of the audio category if the game has no sound
rather ambitious to make a minigame collection for a game jam. but congratulations on managing to make it anyways! the walking speed is very fast which makes it hard to move around the hub or play the chapple game. i'd say my favorite minigame was the cabbits one, but it gets a bit lengthy as you very rarely hit a red cabbit by mistake.
im surprised how far our hero can go while eating random fungi across the path. its a fun challenge trying to work out which mushrooms to go for in order to make it to the end
nice puzzle game. i started playing thinking you HAD to move over crops only once so i got perfect scores for the first 6 levels before running myself into a corner haha. the music fits the game pretty nicely. if i were to change anything it would be the timer, it doesn't seem to be used for scoring but it works against the otherwise calm gameplay
the geeky lady completely caught me off guard! funny that a game that included a linux build would have related dialog. only things i'd have doubts about are: - too reliant on mouse sensitivity, if you slip just a bit it might mean instant failure - closing the game after the first attempt instead of allowing a retry
even without the tutorial you catch on quick! could have helped to have a visual beat indicator near the root tip so that it's easier the course correct when you lose the beat
the bird is a bigger threat than i initially thought :laughing: nice game, you can play at your own pace focusing on one color or stocking up on all remaining colors and getting back to throwing as fast as possible. it just took me a second to realize that you had to stand on the throw zone for the spacebar to work
took me a couple of rounds to get to inflict any damage, but the results are responsive to the commands and it did make a good fight description
movement feels a little heavy, specially at the start when al objectives are far apart. other than that, charming graphics and sound
nice risk management on the departures. it's also nice to get unlock more robots after completing a planet. i'm unsure about the jiggly ui though
