Very clever take on the theme (the first song choice was really fitting)!! Had lots of fun playing the game. The speed the people are moving at is kind of distracting. Two confusing aspects at first: 1) I didn't understand the point of the mosh pit/bottle throwing since it started right off the bat 2) Didn't understand that the character was on a stage (could use wood texture instead of bricks perhaps?). Overall really nice game!
I like the fact that we can make decisive choices. The graphics are well done too. Overall its a solid entry.
Simple fun game, easy to understand and play. I like the music it really fits the mood.
I enjoyed playing the game well done
The music got me grooving. I thought it would only be one song, but no here's a couple more to get you going! The pacing was fair and the overall game was nicely balanced. Even though there is no big power up the game knows how to keep you busy with enemy variations and the different beats. You get so into it that before you know it you already finished the game. That's one of my favorite entries. Thank you that was fun!
Good execution of the theme. The game is fairly simple and easy to pick up. Balancing wise, it's kinda hard to defend both rain and wind coming at you at the same time. Maybe having wood coming a little bit more often would of help with the balancing. Especially after surviving a few waves of both wind and rain. Overall, pretty good game, good job on the audio too. Cheers!
That was fun! You guys nailed the feel. The siren sound definitely adds to the game. I think a timer would help. Overall it's a nice game, short and sweet good job!
Graphics are really nice and well thought out! I like the abundance of options for characters and their creative names. A tutorial would be really helpful because of the steep learning curve and the lack of storyline providing context (Your introductory paragraph could be moved onto the game). Overall nice job - I can tell you put in a lot of work and detail into the game like your camera work!
The background music made me sad but I was cheered up by the sun's facial expressions. Art proportion could be improved and adding instructions might also be helpful but otherwise cool game.
Cool game, but the controls are a bit hard to use and could use a bit of adjustment. All in all its a good entry.
Very simple yet effective mechanic, easy to pick up and understand the goal. The timer and feedback add a lot to the game. Well done, it's a solid entry.
great game !
Very nice game. Simple and easy to understand what is going from the get-go. Good pacing, music, and art are also on points. I'm lagging a bit on the browser version which kinda takes away from the experience, but I tried the windows version and it runs smoothly. Overall, a pretty good game. Cheers!
Nice graphics. tough game and nice concept
It's insane the amount of work you guys put in. I loved the music and vibe of the game. I liked the small panels/Comic strip at the start of the game I just wished it was also used to give more direction about the goals. All in all, I think it's a fairly solid entry, I'm impressed. Good job guys.
Super fun retro game with enjoyable graphics and sound effects. Nice job!
Fun game but hard to play
Solid entry. You nailed some aspects quite well and with a high quality for the time we were given, well done!
I like the graphics and the audio of the game, however I struggled a bit to get through the watcher it was a bit frustrating. Could adjust that part, but overall its a good game
I like how powerful the main attack makes me feel lol. Good graphics too.
Difficult to grasp at first but cool minimal concept. The sound effects are a bit startling even at low volume imo because of how high pitched they are.
Nice game. I liked the music, graphics, and how easy it was to control. Good game overall just need a bit of variety, but its game jam so its undestanble!
The game was challenging for me overall nice game
Cool game! I liked playing. Need clear instruction.
fun game I also like the graphics
I like your take on the theme with this concept! Game was challenging in a way yet enjoyable with nice graphics. In my opinion, audio was a bit overpowering/distracting for my taste, but otherwise nice simple game overall!
I really like the colours you used for your penguins and the sounds they make! The sound effects when you hover can be alarming at times though haha. Nice little game overall!
Cool game. The map feels too wide for the amount of spaceships we have. Otherwise, its a fun and easy to play game. Good job.
Good job on the game, it was fun. The instructions were clear and the game was easy to pick up. I just wish I could have used the money I got from collecting the plants. Maybe if you guys are planning a post-jam version or expansion you guys could add upgrades like expanding the water tank, turrets, and assistants to help you maintain the plants or fend off the zombie plants. Also, Well done on the audio I thought the zombie voices were funny.
Really enjoyed this game guys. The puzzle were pretty good and fair for the most part, I think the part after the second cascade could be a bit easier to figure out. Love the Wind Waker look, the Shaders are great and giving the game a good feel, without being overbearing. Well done guys! :clap:
This is the best-looking entry that I've played so far. The game is fun and full of nice little quirky moments. It's quite easy and simple to pick up from the start, but it's also easy to sometimes misjudge where the ball is going to end up. Overall, I had a fun time so good job, guys!
Fun game kept me entertained for a while!! Loved the nature concept and I really like the graphics and the way the "bad guys" were depicted. Audio/sound effects could take the game to the next level. Otherwise, really cool submission and nice job!
Interesting simple game! I like the un-expectedness and the funny sound-effects used. The game keep freezing when all of the characters come in. Fun game though.
well done nice graphics too
The animation is really good, such a cute game. I think that the control for flying could be a bit more polish though. Overall, well done.
I really enjoyed this game! Super fun and smooth to play! I liked the fact that I could go back to find a better path. Could add sound effects or make the timer bigger to enhance intensity/pace. V nice game overall!
This game got a good amount of polish, good job on that. The command animation that appears when you move the camera in the direction of an intractable object is a nice touch. The overall game is very satisfying to look at. Even though you didn't expand on the main mechanic I think that the world you created and the experiment you did with the HD pipeline was definitely worthwhile. I enjoyed it, well done!
Great choice of sound effects and art style! I like the main character - reminded me of Sara Bellum from powerpuff grils for some reason ... Nice simple game!
I like the game the colors are very nice the sound too
The music was groovy and the game is fairly easy to get into. I think it's a cool game overall. Good job.
Nice game well done
Very nice game. I like the graphics a lot and the overall mood. Its simple and easy to understand. One thing that should be improved or changed is the fact that you have to walk back to a point to see the shape. Maybe have hints as you walk around. Overall you did well I enjoyed that game.
Love the creativity, really nice graphics! As others have mentioned, a running function would have been a really great addition to help speed up the pace of the game. Conversations were funny. Overall good game guys!
Kudos on the representation! Game is very fast paced so nice choice of music. Not sure if it's just me but I would've liked the option to expand the window and I'd recommend tightening up the controls because the collider for the water isn't big enough to water the plants precisely (especially with speed being such a large factor to excel in the game). Good overall though!
I think it's a fun game and you got a very good mechanic on your hand, but because the controls are a bit finicky the player doesn't use it to its full capacity. You can easily make the controls smoother later on. Besides, it's a jam game, the essential is that you finished and you got yourself a solid base for a good game. Cheers mate!
The music is really good. I enjoyed it a lot. A bit too much dialogue at the start, but other than that I think the concept is neat and so is the art.
Really cool concept, was not expecting this to be that fun. Well done guys!
Solid entry! I was jamming for at least 10 min before actually really starting the game!
Nice humorous game!! The mouse sensitivity is quite high to be able to properly control the bat as wanted to. Nice sound effects and graphics. Not sure if I personally just didn't figure it out, but it might have been nice to have the option to run. Overall nice entertaining game!
The music is awesome, especially the intro song. Very groovy. The game is quite easy to pick up, but it's also very easy to get overwhelmed so I wish the cooldown for the shooting was shorter. The idea is nice and I like the fact that the unicorn is grooving as you progress it's a nice touch. Good job guys!
I like the concept and how easy it is to get into it. One thing that wished was better is the camera. By improving the camera it would be easier for the player to see a little bit better what's ahead. Other than that I think it's a pretty good entry, good job!
Nice graphics and art style but the controls were hard to grasp, which made the gameplay frustrating. Love the colour choices as well. As suggested above, some music would definitely take the game to the next level. Nice submission overall for a game completed in 2 days!
Enjoyable game, the music is very relaxing and fitting.
I love the design of the terminator baby. Well done on the graphics and overall feel.
Cute simple game with easy controls. Only criticism would be pacing as in, to possibly add a sense of urgency early on to make it more pressing and engaging.
That was fun! Good graphics and sound. Well done guys.
You got a solid base if you want to keep making it and the concept really fits the theme. Good job!
I did what I could, but he kept his head in the bowl looking for more fish. RIP. That was funny. Good take on the theme.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll see what I can do about it on the post jam version.
@marcusnystrand Thank you so much for the kind words!
@julienlussiez @squid Right! the instructions could have been clearer. Thanks for the feedback.
@thornduck @r3l0ad1 @rustim Thanks a lot, I spent so much time trying out ideas. Designing games is hard XD
@mitjmcc Because I haven't seen anyone play my game I was clueless about how unfair the time was :sweat_smile: Thanks for letting me know.
@ashashza You made some good points about the view and camera, thank you.
@owen-rees Thank you for the nice words and for the feedback.
@maskrosen Noted. Thanks :)
@nk-x-x Thanks for letting me know about this bug, it really helps.
@zguba I'll check Dotween for the post-jam version. You brought up some good points, thanks a lot.
@sharbelfs Good point for the camera, thank you.
@yolziii Glad, you like the mechanic, and thanks for the feedback.
@add-an-a You are right about the timer! Thank you for the feedback.
@meme-310 Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@tom-robson Thanks for playing and for the feedback. I'll try experimenting with having a limited set of waves. Also for the timer you are right, it's slow at the start of the game, but if you progress to the 100-200 score range then it becomes fairly challenging. Nonetheless, you made some good points and I'm going to see what I can do about it for the post-jam version, thank you.
@despdair Thank you, yes I wish I had music. For the levels, they are randomly generated with seeds. I can influence the layout and obstacles occurrence. First, it layout the water tiles, then the obstacles. When laying obstacles it unchecked spots already taken so other objects cannot spawn there. Then runs a few functions to make sure that it doesn't completely close off levels or spawn stuff on top of each other. After that, it spawns game entities like the player, sharks, star.
@gamer-fates Thanks a lot for your comment. Happy that you enjoyed it.
@yorsh Thanks, and true indeed.
@despdair No it doesn't, sorry. The way I set it up it is rarely unsolvable though. Because of the few functions, I mentioned earlier. But, I'm sure but it can happen on later levels if the obstacle rate becomes too high. Thanks for asking, now I know I have more stuff to think about. :sweat_smile:
@yellowlime I do agree with the instructions part. That's the plan for the post-jam version. There is an increase in difficulty, as you progress through the levels you have slightly less time to complete them, also more obstacles are getting in the way and the shark tends to be closer to the duck. It depends on how far you were able to reach. The early levels are very easy to make sure the player is comfortable. Thank you for your feedback.
@zaiuspanda Thank you for your comment. The difficulty increases bit by bit as you progress through the levels. If you can get a 100's+ score the game will become quite challenging. Less time, more obstacles, the shark will be closer.
@vaizaragorn Thanks for playing and for the words of encouragement.
@fabrizio-spadaro I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
@duck-reaction Thank you. I'll look into it.
@cptn-b You can create it by following this tutorial https://twitter.com/i/status/925036278005018624
@dennerbougo TY :)
@ultrabill Thanks for your feedback!
@sticmac Thank you for playing. Right, there is still some stuff I gotta fix.
@duke You made a good point about showing/knowing how far the wave would push. I should do something about that. Thanks for your comment.
@retrome Good suggestions, thanks for the feedback.
@minnka Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it.
@turritom Thanks. It might be the shark that caught you. I should showed more feedback for that.
@lazzydev72 TY :smile:
@ava-skoog Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cool concept and amazing choice of background music - really matches well the environment and sets the tone! Quite difficult in the beginning until getting the hang of it.
Style of graphics was really creative and I like the background music! I wish the IT guy would get his own drinks and food haha
Nice polish. I Really like the glitching effect on the purple enemy.
Very pretty game. If you guys want to keep developing it, not sure if this was said before, but I think having someone narrating the text would add to the game. It was kinda hard paying attention to the tumbleweed and text at the same time. Also, there is a couple of times where I think having a different way to blow the wind to make the tumbleweed jump or push it hard to gain momentum when going on the higher platforms would of help. I think the game is really good for a jam game, and I really like the fact that you guys had some kind of story it really fits with the overall game. Well done guys!
I like the graphics. Wished there were more types of enemies it could have added more depth to the game. Good base if you plan to keep developing it.
I love the art and the overall game is fairly well polish. Good take on the theme. Overall, a solid entry!
very enjoyable game. Good job
Great graphics and audio for this game! Love the variations in difficulty throughout the levels - difficulty intensifies yet the game still remains enjoyable. Solid submission!
Nice game well made and fun
Creatively unique game concept and a great submission given your situation in needing to take care of a baby haha! Enjoyed the audio/sound effects. Only critique is the same as was mentioned above - sometimes I would get the tent twice, which made the match go out 2 seconds into the game. Other than that, nice pace, nice job.
Great game concept with smooth gameplay! Like the others mentioned, it would be nice to have a cancel option. Just to note that some of the text contains spelling mistakes. Otherwise, nice submission!
The music is really good. The whole thing reminded me a bit of a popular cartoon with a purple dog for some reason. Gameplay-wise I think it's nice and easy to get into it. The difficulty ramps up at a decent pace, but the game so straight forward that it's not as challenging as it could have been. But, that's understandable because it's a game jam and I'm sure you guys wanted to add more to it. Nonetheless, you guys were able to make a pretty good entry in a short amount of time so cheers to that!
Good take on the theme. I enjoyed the game for the most part, but like others said the drinking animation could be either cut short or just have some feedback when the player collide with the drink instead. All in all I think it's a good entry so well done guys :clap:.
Nice game, simple, fun and great graphics. Good job!
Graphics and sound are top-notch. I do like roaming around looking at stuff, but I wish I had clues. I think I'm supposed to activate relics around, which I did. As I activated more relics and torches the game progressed, the stage got clearer and more people came. Also nice touch on the music coming together as we progressed. But, after a while, I have no clue what to do. Overall, you guys nailed some aspects fairly well for the short time we were given. Well done.
I quite enjoyed this game! Nice job on the art style and your creative take on the theme - Great submission!
Beautiful background and use of colours! I also like your attention to detail in making the menu. I didn’t understand how to save my train as I was having trouble picking up objects (some inconsistencies in picking up the items - only the wrench seemed to work for me but not sure if I should have dropped it first?). Not much time to ease into the game due to the pace imo. Nice job overall though!
I like the game. However I find it a bit stressful because of the bars are going too fast. If you could adjust the time for the bar that would be nice. Overall, I enjoyed the game and I think it is a good entry.
Interesting take on the theme. Gameplay-wise I think it's fairly good, but you should adjust the sound when we are walking on multiple rocks, and also it seems that if the Spider gets into the spawn point and I respawn then he not at the same spot where he used to be. Not sure if that was intended. Nonetheless, it's a good entry, well done.
Instructions were pretty clear, but it seems the ability to launch disappear after the first use. I refreshed the page, but it's quite finicky to use, it appears and disappears.
For critical bugs like this one, you can. It's in the rule. However, you can't change your gameplay. Also, you have to write in the description what you changed. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules
Fun game. Could use some balancing.
Good graphics and nice sound. However the mouse sensitivity could be improved.
Super interesting concept and take on the theme! Quite humorous! Personally, I would have appreciated maybe having visuals or sound effects/audio along the way to better appreciate the story line. I'd recommend making the options clearer by using different hover colours for each of the phrases/options or even boxes to differentiate these options. Also really like the the gameplay ideas that you plan to add! Nice job overall - can't wait to see where the story goes!
The game was a little challenging for me but I did like the graphics.
Nice game. Really easy to get into and overall enjoyable. Well done!
