This game is very juicy. Very very juicy. It's a great and not so subtle nod to the art of juicing your game up. At all upgrades maxed out, it's actually a dizzying experience, which is why I was very glad it ended when I paid off my debt, but I'm happy for the experience I was given. Great job. I'm gonna be sending this one around so they can experience true juice.
I became a skeleton. I like it! Great job for 72 hours!
The audio is great here. The sneaky music that ramps up when you have less reputation makes me feel a great sense of urgency. Simple but well executed game. The addition of the tweets is excellent. Nice! :frog:
Moving platforms really are the worst. It threw me for a loop that I wasn't really moving with them but just sliding. Would also be great if the laser I shot actually went in the direction of the mouse, and not just what direction the cat was facing. Using the mouse seemed redundant if it wasn't to aim with, might as well have just mapped the abilities to keys and made it a keyboard only game. But, cats are cool, cats with lasers are cooler. Funky music! :cat:
woo, I got the #1 highscore. I was pretty close to the suspicious penguin. I like how there were diminishing returns if you didn't take care of your own health in terms of score. Nice!
Nice. I actually stumbled a bit on the very first screen, because I'm a bit of a dingus. But once I figured out what to do, I managed to scrabble my way to the end. Very good! The music especially stood out to me, but I'm also guessing one or some of you have spent a lot of time finding responses for most of these words! Good job, team!
Love the style of this game. It manages to tell exactly what it needs to with the least amount of pixels. Good job!
This is a game that has a lot of JUICE. The graphics are nice, the audio works well with what you're doing and it's executed well. Simple but very juicy game.
Great animations! The movement is a bit floaty, and some of the UI is a bit lacking, but it's a pretty good submission. The models are well done. Good job!
Very juicy and good action! Theme is just a guideline anyway! Agree with others to show some score so you can beat your personal bests. Good job!
Nice. Pretty difficult to see quite where you are. Maybe my depth perception is just bad! Who made the music?
haha yeah the music was fun but who made it? You didn't credit anyone for it, just the two of you.
The sounds are a bit harsh, so I turned my volume down quite a bit. I also felt it was a bit weird that moving Up and Down, the ship looks kinda tilted. So just having it straight up or down would maybe make the initial confusion less confusing. Other than that, great concept and fun to try to manage fuel vs oxygen and trying to go fast!
Cute, short and sweet. Cats are great. :cat:
@skyeward We're very happy with the music too!
Thank you for your feedback, everyone! We're definitely looking into alternatives for the movement and clarifying some features/actions for further polishing post-jam. We made a stylistic choice to keep it isometric, and it's a tough one! Hopefully with some more testing we can figure out a good solution for the movement and to finish the UI elements we ran out of time to complete! Hopefully with some more polish, some of you would give our game a try again - but we would have wait until after the play + rate is finished!
Your feedback has been noted, we've talked among ourselves for tweaks and fixes to do that should make it a bit easier. Look forward to trying more games from you guys, thank you for a great LD :frog:
@hwaet Heyo. Ultimately, it was just a stylistic choice, really, not much technical or larger purpose reason behind it to have it isometric and movement locked to grid. We liked the idea of having a very contained "world" to be in, almost like a toy box. We were looking into allowing for camera rotation, to allow for players to find another angle, but then we'd have to also rework our movement system to be more flexible in regards to which angles you're facing. It seemed to make sense to us all the way up until delivery, and then a lot of people are telling us it doesn't make sense. But that's OK! We'll likely be trying different things and reworking or improving on the movement at some point though. Maybe allow movement to be free-form but perspective to be isometric. We'll see! Hard to know how others will like it when you playtest in a vacuum :frog:
@entropy The music is actually done by my friend who works as a composer for a game studio! He was gracious enough to bless us with two short custom snippets of music. Your other feedback, like those of others, is noted but not much we can do about that now :sweat_smile:
Shooting what effectively became a laser from my mullet is a pretty good way to kill zombies.
Impressed with you getting 15 levels in! Progressively harder as they go. Good job!
You've made some beautiful graphics here! The controls were tight, but I did feel like I wanted to dodge in direction I was walking, not in direction I was aiming at first. I agree that the audio could maybe be mixed up a bit with you being hit or you hitting things. Nice game :)
I love tower defense games, so I definitely had to play this one! The art is nice and cute, poor bugs don't stand a chance against my adorable towers. Great execution for the time we had to make our games. I have the same issues as the people above, wanting hotkeys for the tools! But overall, great submission.
@mattkuroshi @ayced @silverice @wittycognomen @equivocator We pushed a fix so that everyone can play the game! It's 100% less questionmarks and apostrophes! Obviously can't have an unintentional game-breaking bug like that laying around!! Sorry about that.
@motley We initially had it on the C-scale, so we made the art for that. But then our audio guy made the music in A, so we switched around the letters but didn't bother updating the black keys (oversight!).
This was awesome! Being a turtle dad is hard work. Super polished game, good job on this one!
Yay, whopee! The art is great, the audio is nice. Cool that you have a cutscene!
Nice and simple! I like that you can overheat your computer even in the main menu! :laughing:
Short and simple. Would have loved some on-screen reminder that I could press space to restart the level. This dog has had a tough life.
Ridiculously polished and amazing aesthetics!
