Hi there, nice game. I especially like the idea that the you use the same things that you are harvesting as kind of a torch. That is very clever. I think that you could exploit that mechanics in many other ways. I wasn't able to understand if the red dots had any purpose other than to create some light.
The game was nice and working well. The only thing that feels a bit off, as others mentioned, is the timing for the keypresses (I guess that the placement of the horizontal line was tricking me).
Really good and polished game. The round levels was a very nice idea.
I would better see the player moving a little bit faster. Also it could be nice to either make the NPC bars move quicker or maybe have some ability (e.g. scare them) to move them towards the optimal point. I guess that it would be difficult to balance those maybe (especially in the context of a game jam).
Great work!
The game is very good, engaging, funny and also very appropriate for the theme. The physics based gameplay is the cherry on the cake.
Here are various thoughts after playing your game: some animations for the dragon would make it even more addictive. As already mentioned by @phillip-scott the aim felt kind of strange also for me (it is probably the fact that the mouse gets locked at a certain radius). A couple of times that the fireball didn't explode but stayed on the ground for some time. Maybe this is a not a bug but I thought that it could be useful for you to know.
At last I think that it would be good to add a background (or something else like particles) because if you are above all the castles and only the solid blue sky is visible you don't have any way to know if you are moving or not.
I find your game very nice and the graphics especially are very curated.
The fixed camera give rise to an interesting mechanics but I'm not completely sure that it works as it is. Maybe you could have more cameras fixed around the level as if were surveillance cameras and you have to play using such camera views.
One rough edge of the current implementation is that if the camera goes outside the fence you are unable to see what happens. I also suggest to add some variation to the running sound.
Great work though!
There is some width around the flower from where you can cut. The eyes of the robot are highlighted with green when you are in the correct position but clearly is too small to notice :)
@shp We are happy that you liked our game and I agree that the music is really good (our dirty secret is that @rich-machines is indeed a great musician if you enjoyed his music here is his [spotify page](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ISCqaEWabkIHP4uCKMl4j)). Concerning the gameplay we realized that it should be easier to choose the flowers to cut but unfortunately the jam was about to end.
@fluburbio Thank you for your feedback and for the suggestions! Yeah targeting a flower should recieve indeed more care.
@yubs Yeah the more risk you take the higher the reward indeed. Thank you for your suggestions we hope to be able to improve it in the future!
@wobbleblocks We are glad that you found our game fun!
@buni Indeed! That strategy literally doesn't pay! :) Thanks for trying our game!
Hey, the game is very nice. I found it very well executed! I'm not a very good at platform games and got stuck on level 3. Maybe I will try again.
Great work!
I think you nailed the theme very well. It was a bit difficult but once you understand the timing you can do it. Well done.
I don't know if it is supposed to be that way but if you bite the person in a low part of the leg (e.g. the heel) the hand is then disconnected from the body (it is hilarious though :) ).
This game was very nice everything was great especially the story and the graphics. I wonder if now the bear has became a black hole :)
The only "issue" I had (very minor) is that it becomes a bit difficult to control the bear once you go in space. Since the objects are behind the bear collecting them is a bit more difficult than it could be.
Great job!
The game was very funny and well executed.
My only note is that adding some description for the power-ups could help in the choice.
Great job!
Very nice game. The combination of music and graphics help setting the mood and the alien animations are hilarious. I think that the concept is interesting and the humor (even in the menus) is hilarious. I found it a bit difficult to understand where the circle should be though.
As a small note: (having played in the browser) having used CTRL to make the alien wider can trigger the save menu of the browser if accidentally pressed with the s (CTRL-s).
You game is very nice and fun. Good work.
As other mentioned the main issue is that the camera don't allow to see the cows incoming in time to avoid hitting them. Maybe one could add some arrows that indicate the cow (when is outside the screen) or zoom out based on your speed. Also the cows should stand out a bit more in my opinion.
Making a sell of 10000 bananas was pretty satisfying. Simple but nice game.
A small issue I've found is that if you make the game fullscreen the timer disappears (I played on firefox).
Hey, good work. The game was very responsive considering the number of things on the screen. I think you should add some more elements (enemies that can hit you) to make it more challenging. I bet that you was ran out of time for adding more elements.
Using firefox on linux the sounds of the souls were clipped (I also tested chrome and there it was working as intended). I agree with others that after some time it gets a bit annoying.
