It took me a little while to get the hang of things. A little rollover pop-up hint would have helped for each of the icons. One thing that I couldn't figure out how to do was explore. I had to perform some sort of task in order to get to an unexplored region. I wish I could just walk there. The animation states worked well, they just need a little blending. Really nice pathfinding too.
Now I want sushi.
The controls on the cat are some of the best feeling controls that I have played in this jam so far.
First of all, congratulations on making a Compo entry! Second, thank you for making a Linux build! Once I figured out that it was actually easier to play with the mouse interface I started to get it. Nice entry!
Good job. I used the "z" key for my attack as well. If you are going to use the "z" key I would recommend not using "a" and "d" for movement. It doesn't feel very comfortable on the left hand. The animation for the attack had a bit of a delay. It requires the player to take that into account.
I love this. A weird surrealistic mad-lib uber ride with Uncle Fred.
My computer just can't handle this game. I know that it isn't finished and that you tried your best. But ouch. I've noticed that Unity has a tendancy to give developers too much, and consequently their games take too much from player's computers. So developers need to be consciously economical or they end up creating a resource hog of a game. It isn't easy, but you'll get it.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I understood how to play the game.
Perhaps it is my own lack of intelligence, but I am still trying to figure this out. I am using the source version.
I really want to hear you talk about your process while you were making it. Everyone seems to like it so I am apparently the only one who doesen't get it.
Web version now available!
Thanks for playing guys! That's a good note on the text. I was actually afraid someone was going to say that. It's a small easy fix so I went ahead and did it.
Thank you for playing everyone! @ultimatewalrus , I think you are right about a particle trail. That would probably help sell the movement. I'm sorry that I couldn't play your game. I managed to get it started under Wine but the framerate was so slow that I didn't want to judge it yet. I have an old Mac mini that I could pull out of storage, but it's old. I'll give it a shot.
You guys are awesome. Thank you for playing. I was inspired by old-school games where the player just cannot win. You just find yourself diving into a hole and the only question is how deep you can go before you get a game over. I was actually not able to go as deep as many of you were. I am very impressed.
Also, just for the sake of clarity, this is not my first LD, this is only my first LD that I completed. I've tried before.
I failed. And then I tried again.
Also, how does everyone feel about Asteroids-style controls? I have noticed that some new players do not prefer it. Perhaps it is an antiquated control scheme.
This looks interesting. I want to play it but I can't run .bat files under Wine in Linux. No ratings given.
