Fun game. I love the are style and music. Like many have said a bit floating but I don;t think that hurts it too much. You got a great feel out of the thud when a bullet hits the enemy. Super satisfying.
Great job. I liked the mechanic of throwing the workers and the weighted platforms were fun. I'll agree with others that it gets a bit repetitive but as someone who had the same issue I know how it goes. The look and feel are great, love the lighting. Overall I really enjoyed playing it.
Super cute and fun. Love the music and sound effects. It does get pretty hard but it has a charm about that makes you not feel so bad that the robot with no controls rocket jumps back into the middle of the dome right as you were at the exit. Totally not bitter :)
Wow. That was an experience, way to go. Loved the sound effects and music. Well done!
That is really well done. Thank you for tool tips when you hove over the stats. I did miss the markers showing what stats will be affected at first. Might help making those a little more visible. I really enjoyed playing.
Really great quick experience. Only notes I had are ones that have been brought up already, metamorphoses a bit too long and blocks blending. Everything else was so well put together as a package with a great story payoff as well. Amazing work.
Really fun. Finished with 140 to 89. Plays super well and is very polished. Sound effects are good as well but I think some light background music or ambiance would tie it all together nicely.
Great music and entertaining game play. The upgrades feel good every time you get them and makes you want the next. Here's my credit card, I'll take them all.
Very cute and becomes kinda zen like for a while. But look away and things go crazy.
Great mood and full of nostalgia. Sadly I was never very good at those either. Art is really well done.
That was fun. The controls were tough to get used to but I saw that as part of the challenge. By the time I had saved about 20 or so cats the lava started moving fast enough that I could out run it by just going up the stairs but I had not time to get any cats. Maybe have the lava just move faster to catch the player so they start again to prevent it from dragging out. Super cute art.
Super fun. Only issue is I wanted to keep going. Art, sound, and game play were all there and I would totally play an endless mode for way too long to get a stupidly large kill count. Great work!
Great work. I had a similar idea for my game. Would love some variety in the enemies but 48 hours is not much time.
Great work. I love that technically you don't kill anyone ;)
Good job. With more time this could be really fun. Atmosphere is great, like others have said a bit repetitive but potential for sure. Great work getting it done.
The graphics, sound and mechanics are great. I keep getting soft locked on the second level because I die as a small slime and can't go anywhere. There are flames on either side of me, but I can't press the button I'm standing on. I was able to lose enough slime that I died the moment I respawned. Great job, I think some level tweak could fix the issues I had.
Great idea and well executed. Made me anxious as the time kept getting lower. It got the feeling I think you were going for. Really fun.
Really great overall feel. It all works together so well. Love the music and sounds. The mechanics make for a fun bit of platforming with a twist.
Way to go. That is fun. I was able to get is a pretty good flow and just really enjoy the movement. Not sure if 150 to Chantico and 110 to Netzahualcoyotl is good but I felt like I was doing well. The double jump was too weak for me, just never felt like I went much higher than the normal jump. I really didn't find it useful when I had it. But it didn't matter because the basic jump was very consistent feeling and I was always able to get up the platforms. Also, music and art were great as well.
Really great. The visuals and level design are very nice. I loved getting through the level then grabbing the bird to go back through the again, great use of mechanics and design.
Really fun. Like others I had trouble starting. But once I got that I had a blast. I'm not the best typist and I was able to do decently well so it is great even for those of use with stupid fingers. Also, how can you not love a game that uses the word "Motif"
Not usually a story heavy game kind of person but by the end I loved that goat. Great style and all around awesome work.
Fun game. I think it goes a little long without too much different happening. Maybe a slightly shorter level. Loved the sound effects and music. Great work.
Really fun. The collision gets a little wonky at times but still a great job. I'd love to play more of this with the platforming a little more dialed.
Really fun. Graphic and music are amazing. The hit box of the player and blood is so work just how I want, making grabbing that blood bullet as it's almost completely underneath you feel awesome. I could see this really working well as a mobile game. Great work.
It has been said a bunch already but this really is amazing work. Played on android and it worked great. Only complaint is I need more levels.
Aesthetic and feel of the game are really nice. I don't really play these types of games, I couldn't survive for too long so I'll give input on the UX and let others give it for game play. Everything was clear as to what they are and the tutorial was great as well, with a huge plus for being able to skip it. One little suggestion was I did have a hard time finding the people some times, so maybe just a small indicator when they are off screen. Great work!
I had a lot of fun with this. It has a great style and feel. Some epic music and a ranking system would top it off.
Awesome job. Tight controls and the dodge rolling felt good. The look ahead camera is a bit jarring when turning around but not much of an issue. Love the art style and character animations.
I found the Sword bug as well. It kind of added another strategic element as funny as it sounds. The look is great as well.
Fun and tough puzzles. I really liked it. There is another comment mentioning keyboard controls which I will second. At least a hot key that lets you toggle between robots and the van. For me that would help the game flow. Great job overall.
Super fun. If you continue the project, some other abilities, weapons, and enemies could make this really replayable. Great job!
Great work. The zoom in when sacrificing perception was great.
Great work. I had a similar theme of sacking abilities. I ran into a bug where I beat the skull bot then made my sacrifice. When the next level loaded I instantly got the sacrifice pop up and then again on the next one. I think I sacrificed speed to much because then I couldn't move. Played again not only picking speed and it worked fine. One suggestion would be visual indicators when you get hit and hit enemies. It was hard to tell when I was getting hit sometimes and on some bosses (particularly) the fists, it was tricky to figure out how and where I was hitting it. With that slight nit pick aside It was fun and I had a good time playing through. Well done.
Super fun with a great look. I do wish the stats were always visible without overlaying the field. I get it adds to the sacrifice of messing with the stats. I just think the idea of it sounds fun. Awesome work.
Holy crap that is super fun. Unique mechanics and a great aesthetic. I love the countdown sound effects so much.
Great work. There was a time or 2 where I was like "Not sure if this is right but it looks good. Keep doing it" which is very Atari for me. I like have to figure out how long to hold out before the sacrifice but not waiting too long and have your allies die.
Really fun, I love the art and the balance of using health to reload before hitting a hoard so you are not wasting the life gain. One issue is the reticle color, I found it very hard to see especially on the menu. White or a more contrasting color to the background would be more helpful. I did get a but where I couldn't pick up the cross bow and the "Press E to pick up" was stick on the screen not letting me re-spawn. Also big bonus points for having a skip on the cut scene. Great work.
I like the concept of using your corpse as a stepping stone. Art has some scaling issues, unless that was the look you were going for but not for me so much. There were some collision issues, I was able to climb up walls by jamming myself into them and jumping. The level design was good and had a good flow, but some more checkpoints would be nice. Well done.
Fun game. Some elements in the sky to let you know you are still moving would be helpful. There were a couple times I wasn't sure if I was at the top or if I was still going up. Shooting a bunch of attack guys out was pretty fun. Great work.
Great job. I got through the game with out too much trouble and enjoyed figuring out the puzzles. 2 suggestions, when using wasd I mentally assume space is jump so many times I tried to jump but switched characters. May not be a problem for others but threw me a bit. Also the hit boxes of the characters feels to narrow. you start falling and lose your jump before they are visually separated. Widening the hit boxes a little would help the jumping on each other feel a lot better for me. Again, that is just nit picking because I really like the game. Way to go.
I like the concept a lot. But like others have said the breeding was a bit slow and the platforming controls were pretty loose. Good job overall, I did enjoy my play through.
Well done. Movement was nice and tight feeling. The music was pretty infectious and fit the game nicely. Only minor issue was the spikes didn't stand out enough from the background in some places causing more deaths than I'd like to admit. Still super fun and I really enjoyed it.
I really like playing that. I'll echo some feedback like not realizing the spaces capped out at 10. Once I realized I liked the challenge, just with it was more apparent when first playing. Some indication when a space is exhausted would be great as well. Maybe the space is just a darker grey so I quickly know I used it. Lastly, I think a 2 player mode would be amazing. Great work.
That is amazing. Introduction to using the mechanics in a very organic way is great and ineradicable with the time restriction. It feels super polished and tested. I love the artwork so much. Was following the screenshots on twitter and so happy the game play was just as good.
Great job. Loved the references and the game play was challenging but not insane like some bullet hells. Only suggestion would be that when flying through the space(stars) background. It looks a little odd that it doesn't move while the rest of the terrain does. Some parallaxing on that would make it all come together form me. I really enjoyed it.
@joseph-manley Thanks for playing, I agree, I would change the way attacking works if I were to do it over.
@justcamh Thank you for the kind words. Balance is way off. I halved the amount of speed lost towards the end because I had where if you sacrificed all your speed points you moved so slow it just made the game aggravating, but at least it can be used as a dump stat. The hit boxes are off as well, if I do any updates in the future I will fix that. Noted on the menu, not hard to implement, will remember to add that in the future, thanks.
@diogo-rocha Thanks for the heads up, audio was a mad dash at the end to get it, glad it wasn't worse.
@frosty & @taikuri Thanks for the input, would a 3 lives system feel more fair? I feel like unlimited continues would lose the some of the challenge but that could just be me.
@boopsgames If I update in the future, combat is for sure on the list for an over-hall. Thanks for the input and kind words.
@gerardb Thank you. Yeah I'm not sure what happened with the ice feeling. I didn't notice it as bad before the export and upload but I sure did when playing it again after. I'll tighten them up if I make an update.
@lluismg Thanks, a more complex level was the plan but I spent too much time on art and had to make it work. Next time simpler art for sure.
@dob I agree with needing a retry system. I don't want it to be too easy so I'm thinking of adding a 3 life system to keep in theme with the old NES style of difficultly. It really does suck to die on the boss and have to start all over. Also with more time I will vary up the levels to knock down the repetitiveness. I really enjoyed your game as well, I didn't even think of just taking away an entire aspect of the character. Really fun. Thank you so much for the feedback.
@zombie-virals Thanks for playing it on your stream it was cool to see someone other than myself go through it. Very insightful. I will be adding a lives system to make it less unfair.
@jongjo Couldn't agree more. I will be updating the game next week and I will definitely make it feel less like you are running on ice. Thanks for the feedback and kind words.
@vlad-ilisan Thank you. I was really pleased with how the UI turned out.
@codesity Thank you! Glad the levels feel random. It's actually a handful of pre-built levels that change in order based on a random seed. But that was the effect I was going for, I glad it worked for you :)
@abyster That's an interesting idea. I do want to update the levels to not all be the same hallway and add more enemies. I'll think about spells as well. Thanks for the suggestion.
@syrok Thank you. I used Link as the base for the character and it made me smile too.
@pantoufle Thank you so much. Glad you were able to beat and enjoy it.
@efealacamli Sorry you couldn't win. The one death start over is a bit harsh, just didn't have time to add it. I'm doing a jam that is all about updating a project so I will be updating this one and adding in a 3 life system so there is more of a chance to beat it. Thanks for playing.
@tosunami Great minds :) I just found about about that yesterday, forgot to disable the button after a selection is made (face palm). Sorry about that. I will be making updates to the game and that is on the top of my list to fix.
@hugonun Working on fixing the game up as part of another jam and both bug have been addressed. Thanks for the feedback.
@megalink Thank you. I 'm updating the game now and each level will have it's own layout. It was planned for this but that whole time thing :)
@drauthius That is awesome feedback. I am updating the game now and I have added damage indicators that show how much damage you do when hitting an enemy. So you see the number go down if you sacrifice strength. I think it helps make the game more clear. Thank you!
I only missed 2 I think. I accidentally hit the door before I got them. Great job guys, that was really fun. Loved the music. Only issue is that some walls were not apparent right away causing me to bounce into them and waist a bunch of moves. Lost my first run early but once I new what was a wall and what was floor it was a blast.Victory.png
I really enjoyed this. Great job. Getting the portal platforms in the right spot to optimize the assent feels awesome.
Super tough but really fun. I played with my daughter and we had a lot of laughs. She especially loved the sound effects. Great work.
Nice work. Took me a few tries to figure out what I was doing but once I realized it's a pretty peaceful fly. Until you get out to the edges of the map and some really weird sounds start lol. The inverted controls were really rough for me. I was good with the ship but the targeting could be a nightmare if I got off course. One note: the numbers changing the camera view wasn't in the controls. I hit 1 on accident and got locked in a first person mode and didn't know what was going. Figured it out after.
Nice work. Longest I could make it was 62 years. Fits the theme super well and has a board game feel that I really like. Some music and sound effects would be really nice.
Nice work. The character is super cute and I love that all the dead coins stay in the level. I made it through to the end but that second level is a crazy difficulty spike. Main comment would be that with platform style games you want to have a bit more lenient jump off ledges. I found if I was near an edge I wouldn't jump. Overall really fun.
Nice job. Love the references. I got the "nice" ending first and then played through again going for as mean as possible but still ended up with the "nice" ending. I even stole the mans hat! Great work.
Great job! Really awesome you got that all to work. I using forward for up and down instead of back messed me up a bit. My brain wants say either up and down or forward and back. Only other suggestion is that the player moves too slow, if you get a bounty that is off screen it is really hard to get them on screen before you are swarmed with enemies. Well done.
Nice work. When beating the gate guard the ending text popped up really fast and then the intro text popped up over that. Other than that it was a fun deck builder. Being able to use the bread even when you were at full health was a bit frustrating. Wasted a few trying to get 6 hearts to buy the super sword.
Nice work. I got a high score of 55. The scoring was the only part I wasn't sure about (didn't know how it was scoring) but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. It's super cute and fun, love the color palette.
@pokenoufl The theme is supposed to be that the energy used to power you is your life and the currency is that that energy has to be used to power the ship. I agree it's not the clearest. But thanks for playing and glad you liked the beam.
@randomphantom Thanks, I agree a fuel notification could help. Music is definately my weakness, I'm glad it was at least okay at first. :)
@kodiqi There is just a quick end card when you fully fuel the ship. More enemies was the plan but that 48 hour time limit comes up quick. Thanks for checking out!
@copito Thank you very much. I love the idea for an enemy like that. I had hoped to get more enemies in but time didn't allow.
@chompdev Thank you very much. Glad you liked it.
Great work. I really liked the game play and mechanics a lot. Had an issue with the web build, the game didn't read my WASD inputs but the download worked fine. I ran into a bug where I died as I entered the portal. I was taken to the shop as usual but when I was done the next level started to load but still had the death prompt up and I couldn't click anything.
Great work! The highest I made it was 14. The items kept spawning on top of each other which would be my main complaint but not a huge one.
Good job. It was fun, I do wish you could hold to fire repeatedly and the sound effects felt a bit off. Mainly coins, you want that to sound satisfying. Well done I enjoyed it.
Really great concept!
Great work. I made it to the ocean!
Great work. Score wasn't too useful but going for depth was fun.
Great work. Struggles a lot on the last level bit was able to make it!
Great work. Love the final challenge as you get really low.
Super fun but gets a bit repetitive after too many days. I think half the days would be about perfect for me.
I love the look. Moving the ball was a bit too tough for me, but I think that was the point and I was bad at it. :)
Loved it. The respawn is a bit slow and personally would love to have space or up arrow for jump instead of w. Great work.
Amazing job! Game feedback on stream :)
Once I figured it out, it's a lot of fun. Great work!
Super cute. Twitch chat has so many jokes XP
Oh my god so hard. Love but I'm absolute trash at it lol. Great work!
Really interesting idea. I learned today that no one would ever want me navigating on a sub LOL
I love it but I absolutely suck at it LOL. Great work!
Oh yeah! Love it!
Nice work! Loved the wall splitting stealth section a lot
Loved it! I learned I'm really bad at multitasking XD
Super cute. A check point at the drop section would have been really nice.
Great work. Didn't make it but I will try again later :P
Way too real. But really well done.
Great work getting something submitted.
This came out fantastic! Thank you for the amazing image of me. If only I looked that awesome!
Super cute! Loved it!
This is my type of game. I do think the lasers could have had a little more signaling on the last boss. Other than that, loved it.
Great idea. It's an interesting take to play match 3 and not try to match all the things.
Love the style and the game play. The last room is pretty tricky. Also the music has big MegaMan vibes!
Super cute. I love that I can chain wind jumps to fly.
Great work. Best score I got was 55!
Loved it. Was able to trigger the final boss a room early which was pretty funny.
Great work! Hitting the eyes of the wolves was a bit inconsistent but other than that I loved it!
Fantastic. I absolutely loved it!
Everything feels good but the enemies seem to see me from really far away making it hard to progress.
Loved it!
Super chill. Fun idea.
Love the effects. Nice quick narrative experience.
Neat idea. Took me a few minutes to figure out what I needed but when I did it was fun.
Great work. Controls were inconsistent for me but I like the score option.
Loved it! So much Micro Machine vibes!
Neat idea. I wish there was more going on in the decent once a treasure is found. Great work!
Nice work. I said most of my feedback on stream. It's super cute!
Super cute. Love the art style.
Looks amazing and the game is fun. I fount the placing using the same key a bit difficult and would love the objects to be built with a dedicated key maybe.
Nice work and super cute. I said my feedback to you on stream. :)
Great work. I had to brute force a couple but I really enjoyed it. I also managed to escape the room XP
Love the idea but it was just a bit too hard for me. A clearer breath indicator would help a lot.
Super cute. There is one room that is evil and always deals about 2 hearts from dropping on the enemies. Best I got was 17 floors in.
Super cute. Said most advice on stream but I love the art!
Super cute. The music and visuals were great. Would have loved more.
Great work! This was hilarious on stream. Got an 88.something lol.
Great work. Comments were made on stream :)
Great work. Took me a bit to get the hang of the movement but I was able to beat it in the end!
Really like the idea. I love that you can board a ship, kill the crew, and now the ship is no longer a threat.
Great work. Game most feedback to you on stream.
Great work! The character is super cute and there is a good amount of difficulty without being too hard.
Great work. Wish the enemies moved a bit faster and that you could regain health to deal with some of the random patters. Loved it!
Great work! Game my little bit of feedback on stream.
Super cute. The wave attacks were a little tough to see but not tooo bad. Great work!!
So hard! But I got the key and made it out of the hole :)
Super cute! Love the art but I do think the level goes on a bit long.
Really well done. Seems easy at first but it quickly ramps.
Super cute. This is my understanding of how the internet works :)
Great work! I had fun but I think the spamming was a bit too much, especially on the bonus level but that was really the only place I found it to be necessary.
Great work. I really like the mechanic of having to balance the three different stats along with the placements.
Super cute. The ghosts are a bit close together sometimes but it's a fun quick color matching game.
Great work. Not too hard but still challenging to control. Really enjoyed it!
Great work! I really enjoyed it!
Love the concept! The camera makes it a bit hard to aim and there is a definite advantage to the larger bots so you can show your skill with the smaller ones. Great work all around!
Great work. It showed my that it was a good thing I didn't go into engineering LOL
Absolutely loved it! I would totally play a whole game of this :)
Nice work! there were a few issues but I could see this being fun with more to it.
Nice prototype. I would love a shot counter to make the swings have more meaning. An indicator for the speed changing would also be great.
Nice work. A NSFW tag as a warning would be nice :)
Loved it. This would be amazing to be able to play in VR.
Great work. It starts out like "I got this..." then get's hectic real fast. Really enjoyed!
Absolutely loved it!
Nice work. I love this type of game and combining/testing fuels was great!
Great work! The boat gets a little glitchy at times but I love the concept.
Loved it!
Nice work. I'm terrible at typing even when it's just numbers LOL. Best I did was 21.
Nice work. The movement feels great and the squish is on point!
Great work. Balancing between the speed and moving obstacles made for some fun game flow.
Great looking game. I'm not a fan of having to spam to gain health though, it's rough for people with RSI.
Great works. I really enjoyed it and it gets you into a pretty fun flow.
Really nice work but super hard. It took a while to get the hang of the controls and even then it was tough. Reminds me of playing QWOP
Love the idea. I did run into an issue with blocks not quite settling but I was cheesing the game a bit ;P Really well done!
Absolutely loved it! I do wish there was a little shake or some sort of indicator before a tile falls though.
Nice work. Those little jerks cause so much damage LOL. I really enjoyed freaking out trying to keep them from destroying everything.
Nice work. I was a bit confused at first but go the hang of it quick. The text in the book is a little hard to read but not too bad.
Super fun faced paced twin stick. The art is adorable!
Nice work. I liked the idea of keeping an eye on the gun to make sure you use the mode.
Great work! I love the puzzle aspect of needing to activate elements to complete the levels.
Great work. The game looks amazing but my brain definitely had trouble with the movement. But I have always had trouble in isometric.
Really enjoys the match 3 with the catching falling object. Well done!
Nice work. Cute animation and quick snappy game play.
Great work! If it seems really impossible to anyone you may be on 144Hz monitor which will make it crazy. Dropped to 60Hz and really enjoyed it.
Super cute. The wall jumps can be a bit tricky in a couple places but I enjoyed it and nice shift at the end!
Great work and super cute. The last level had a mechanic that could have been shown sooner but I enjoyed it.
