Was disoriented at first and but once I figured out the controls and goal I was having a blast. Bit like a flight simulator whale hunting third person shooter! Don't tell the whalewars people about this lol :whale2:
Really awesome interpretation of the theme that plays super well! Having to switch between the main keyboard area and the arrow keys whilst on a timer was a bit awkward but the game is seriously cool. Would be a great game to teach typing!
Absolutely hilarious and really innovative game. When I first pulled up beside my love interest and the game-show style question board popped up I cracked up. This game is super funny and a hoot to play, but I experienced some bugs in the questions with stored "favorite" values changing and being inconsistent. Aside from improving the questions the pacing, polish, and gameplay were excellent.
Blown away by the level of polish and quality of gameplay+level design you have achieved in such a short time! Really impressive but I struggled even on easy mode! Lots of mechanics going on.
I had a blast playing this, the combo system was a brilliant, lightweight design that allows more skilled players to try to pull off combos but can also be ignored if you're already sufficiently challenged by a level. It also goes without saying the level of audio+visual+gamefeel polish is very impressive, my only critique is I wish there were more track/recipe variety! Awesome game and deserving of a full title. Could also be a good mobile port using swiping instead of button input.
Y'all made the combination of roguelike rpg and pool-based combat work really well, it was a lot of fun setting up perfect shots to bump enemies into eachother, or ricochet perfectly around something and knock one into the lava.
At times I found myself in a corner of the screen with no enemies visible so I was forced to either shoot blind or take a bunch of small shots, it would've been nice to be able to zoom the camera in/out.
Also as mentioned I think it would be a good design choice to try to incentivize players to take as few shots as possible, perhaps even just by tracking and displaying the number of shots taken.
Overall, innovative and fun!
Excellent execution of the golf+puzzle combination! I was doing okay till i started struggling with some of the puzzles and went +15 on one hole LOL. Had a fun time playing it, intuitive controls, nice lighting effect.
Really awesome game! Was a bit frusturated with the starting weapon but still had a blast delving through the levels and trying to get huge loots before getting a bit over my head and dying before I could keep it all. Nice dynamic of balancing risk-reward, adds a lot of depth to the more overt combat+shop mechanics.
I planned a more advanced AI that I know how to implement and it wouldn't take long to develop+implement, I unfortunately used the time I planned to improve the AI dealing with some bugs stemming from some sloppy event usage on my part.
Having various paddles and being able to pick your character would be easy as well, in fact I originally had spherical paddles but they were a big pain to deal with. I also planned some PunchOut style flavor / story but had to cut that as well.
Thanks for all your kind words and ratings yall!
Reminded me of rocket league! I had some sick plays where i narrowly scored by jumping off my opponents head. Fun! World Cup Quality "goaaaaaaaaaaal" also.
Really fun game and wonderful interpretation of the theme, loved the snipe card, it was especially satisfying to use. Lost once due to the ball glitching into the wall but other than that the game is really cohesive and satisfying to play. Fun!
Was a bit tough playing against my self but I'm proud to say the fish won the battle ultimately. I cracked up when the battle scene began, I wasn't expecting it at all :laughing:
Really excellent design to fit so many gameplay systems into such a turn based, manageable sized grid. The game is a well polished, fun mashup of classics. Nice work!
