Burning Down the House by doomshmuck 2021-10-06T14:53:57Z
Really like the idea. I expected the flames to spread over the entire surface so i actually have to use all four water guns but it was fun the way it is.

Really like the idea. I expected the flames to spread over the entire surface so i actually have to use all four water guns but it was fun the way it is.
The robots text bubbles are quite fun to read. I also really like the balancing idea. Nothing happened after i exited the store though. i am not sure if anything should have happened so i just jumped down
Love the idea. What i think could help would be a bit snappier character controler and also faster dropping of the pieces. maybe even dropping them instantly as far as they will go and only then make them a rigit body. Fun game :D
Really nice art but so difficult on some levels o.o
I love the idea. I was kinda disappointed when i saw that the game was already over.
I really like the simplistic look and the idea of building platforms yourself behind it. The entire feeling. ItĀ“s pretty calm and relaxing. I like that you are just kinda thrown in there and find out what to do. Be it get high or far or collect fragments. Some more changes if you get higher or farther would be a nice addition i think.(At least i couldnt find any change) Maybe different collored fragments, sky or different platforms. Controls are pretty good. Only downside might be the camera movement. Seeing what is underneath you when falling would be nice. But then again you need to know what you build the way it is now. All in all a really nice game
@peterfiftyfour Thank you. Yeah those shadows are a shader effect. Toning it down a little would probably have helped it. And well you have to explore so that hat seems pretty fitting :D
@harrison-dunn Thank you for that thourough review :D. The car controler is a big issue we would have liked to improved but couldnt sadly. The breaking is a bit weird. When you let go off w and s it will break after a second or so. But if you press S it will not break which is pretty counter intuitive.
@bamberga Yeah maybe increasing it to a minute would be more of an incentive to actually sacrifice people. along with more people spawning in.
@weine I would have loved to add more little things to discover and do but we didnt have the time to do that
The game kinda drew me in tbh. I couldnĀ“t finish it sadly i dont know how to do the final get home part. I like the throwing potions to build platforms but some feedback on how many you have since i ran out several times and what each of the collectables actually does would be a nice addition. Better camera and more consistent graphics would also really help i think
Really fun game. I got to 40 after a few tries. Also some of those "horse noises" are hillarious
I like the graphics. Something unique with character. The swing on the animations could a bit more visible and enemy spawning might be improved with a more random directions they come from. Overall i like it.
As others have said a tutorial would be nice but those are understandably not a priority when time is such a limiting factor. I like the complexity of it although it is pretty overwhelming at first. Also enemies spawning extremely close to you can be a bit annoying. Maybe making it room based with doors and you trying to find a way out instead of them spawning in waves would be a nice addition. I enjoyed it
Really cool idea with nice grraphics and story. Controls could be a bit better. maybe having w/s be accelerate and decelerate in the current direction could help. Also those news are pretty fun
I like the idea. It is pretty hard esspecially when all you get is a gun shooting to a single side. A really nice challenge. Not too complex easy to pick up but hard to master. Excelent. Edit: Forgot to mention i really like the pixel art style of it.
I LOVED that. What a story on such a philosophical issue. Thats the main thing i like about this but the simple clean graphics the calm yet somewhat eery music it all fits so well. I played through both endings and enjoyed that they even connect. The little easter "eggs" are also pretty fun to discover when you look around. So far one of if not the best game i tried out in this jam. Really the only thing negative i noticed was the collsion not being just "perry" but also its shadow. Honenstly an amazing entry
